March 2025 starter Mounjaro

[TheSpoonyNavyReader]

Hi

I am starting this thread for anyone that is starting their weight loss in March.

I have read a lots of the other threads and have never ordered until today when I looked in the mirror this morning and did not recognise the woman staring back at me, she looked unhappy and ashamed and quite frankly fat.

I got on the scales and worked out my BMI is 32, until 3 years ago my weight was around 9 stone, I am now 13 stone, peri menopause, an under active thyroid, death of a parent and not bothering with exercise and eating too much has left me like this.

My goal is to get to 10.5 stone by the end of May as that is when my son get married, and then keep going.

So who would like to join me, where we can support each other and go onto bigger and better things in life

Wow there are some great losses here! Well done everyone.

I have weighed today so my official starting weight is 14st exactly. I've lost 1lb this week (not taking MJ yet). I was 15st 1lb last summer so it has taken me 8 months to lose just over a stone with various fluctuations from Christmas and holidays! Hopefully the jabs help speed up my progress.

I am still planning a Sunday jab day but am very tempted as the pen has been sat in my fridge since Tuesday and I want to start now.

Morning all.

I'm waiting for my WLI to arrive today. Dont know how I'm going to get through work as I'm so excited.

My eldest is home and will be taking the package in.

Does he need to put in the fridge?

Good luck to everyone on their journey, and well done.

It all feels too good to be true.

My period is due and I had a thought. My cravings go through the flroof just before. Does anyone still get that surge for sugar and carbs on Mounjaro near their time of the month?

Happy Friday ❤️

Amazing, well done!

That’s fab! Well done!

Mine arrived in ice bags but sat on the side for 2 days as I was away and haven’t told anyone I’m doing it. So I took first dose 2 days after delivery and had pretty instant suppression. Yes it ought to go in the fridge before use but after that room temperature is fine. Seems odd but that’s what the instructions say! Good luck.

Did my first jab on Monday evening.. just did a sneaky weigh in and lost 4lbs already 😅 feeling pretty positive now (as I wasn’t feeling any side effects just not as peckish)

first weigh in this morning -
SW 194 lb
CW 191 lb
GW 176 lb (ideally 150 but my mind can't accept I'll ever get there as I was a teenager last time and I'm fully menopausal now 😂)

So 3lb off which is the most I've ever done in a week (heaviest weight was 210 and it took 3 years to get to 194).

did 2nd injection last night and feeling fine so far today but incredibly thirsty and so tired!

Fab losses everyone so far!

The burps, is anyone else struggling with them? I woke up 3 times in the night just to burp. And I’m not talking lady like little ones but having to get out of bed and go into the bathroom so I didn’t wake my husband.

I am at work today, and luckily no one is here as it’s not good. I’ve got mint tea and have drunk lots of water but is there anything else I can do? It’s so unpleasant.

Will it calm down?

Anyone experienced disrupted sleep at night? Since my first injection 2 days ago last 2 nights I've been waking up for no reason, I usually sleep like a bear. Maybe I'm worrying too much about injection side effects and it keeps waking me up?

Hi everyone, I am contemplating trying a weight loss drug and I am interested to know how you decided on which one. Mounjaro seems popular on mumsnet, I had only heard of Ozempic before today but I’ve also read about Wegovy and Zepbound. How did you guys decide which one to try and did you all buy it online, there’s lots of talk about sending pictures and weights. I’m not sure I have a high enough bmi to go to my GP but have been overweight, up and down for years, desperately trying to exercise, coach to 5k, gym, tennis, netball and now it’s seems that I might need a knee replacement and can no longer walk or sleep without pain. It’s seems that all that impact whilst being overweight has damaged my knee and I’m desperate to lose weight for my knees sake. I need my exercise for my mental health and to curb my eating, without the ability to exercise I’m finding my weight going up already. Injections are completely new to me and it all seems a bit scary. Any advice appreciated.

I have weighed today, and I am in shock, real shock! I have not had the suppression of some, I am not hungry but can still eat normal size portions and have not fancied any wine, normally if I had a bad day I would open a bottle of wine, and could drink all of it, I would do this probably twice a week but this week it does not even cross my mind.

Anyway I have lost 8 pounds in a week.

SW 13 4
CW 12 9

I know that I will not loss this every week and it’s probably just water but I am so happy, this may just work and I will not be so unhealthy and actually look nice in clothes.

First jab for me Monday and my period started an hour later. Have not had the cravings for carbs and sugars like I normally would at all! X

Well done everyone on the losses 👏🏼

This is day 6 for me, still feeling the suppression and still had no further side effects, thinking myself lucky!

Weigh and jab day will be Sunday for me

Are you avoiding red meat? And trying to cut down on onion and garlic? Try an actimel a day as well. I have been a bit more burpy than usual this week but not sulphur ones as I was warned and have avoided red meat and tried to minimise onion/garlic intake

Brilliant loss!

Fab loss!

Woo hoo well done!

Wowza! Well done and keep up the great work! 👍

That's incredible! Well done to you 👍

Theoretically, my period is due in a couple days (I only say theoretically because I'm peri-menopausal and it's been all over the place this year) and despite having my second jab yesterday, I am really hungry today. And everything rubbish caught my eye at the supermarket this morning 👀 But I held my head up high and avoided all of it.

Hello everyone,
May I join? Over the last year, I've managed to lose 4 stone 10lbs, taking my BMI from 41 to 30.7, without the use of weight loss injections.
I've stalled over the last few months/gone up and down the same 4lbs, and the food noise has got very loud for me. I've decided to take the plunge and hopefully lose another 2.5 stone with the help of mounjaro.
I took my first 2.5mg mounjaro jab on Wednesday. So far, I can feel my appetite has decreased, but I'm still thinking about food a fair amount if that makes sense. I was hoping for that food noise to be completely shut down so I'm a bit nervous.
Hoping this restarts my weightless and I can finally get to a healthy weight x

That's amazing well done and straight into the next stone bracket as well!

Another amazing result well done to all who have lost!

I took my 1st jab this morning do going to join the Friday weekly weighers from next week.

Question for those who have had suppression on 2.5 are you planning on going straight up to 5mg or continuing 2.5?

Re: going to up 5mg or staying at 2.5mg I'm going to decide in a week or two and see how I get on. My jab day is Saturday and only today do I feel a little hungry, but that could change!

I went to the gym on Wednesday and had a great run, I feel like the MJ is helping my plantar facilitis and my knee isn't sore as before either! I did eat slightly bigger/carbier meals before but it's worth it to be able to exercise as I want.

Amazing well done @TheSpoonyNavyReader 🎉
