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

10lbs off as of today, absolutely delighted. BMI 27.6 now. Going onto 5mg shortly.

I’m a bit late, but I’m about to start it tonight!
Jab delivered today.
SW:18st 10lbs bmi 40
GW:14st bmi 30

My very heaviest weight was 24st. I lost loads of weight before I had my baby boy, but health issues made me gain some of the 10st I lost!

Did my first injection today but I have already lost 5lbs over the last two weeks.

When do the side effects start? When you feel it working? I already have zero interest in food because of an intensly stressful event. I really want to see my blood pressure dropping as the weight comes off

I cooked a joint of gammon tonight. Dinner for my son and of course a good amount of protein for the next few days in the form of ham!
I glazed the fat with mustard and honey before the final roast and normally I would be picking off that glazed fat with joy! I had a bit. It tasted nice. But it didn't give that joy.
Laughing and crying at the same time!
I did 2nd 2.5 last night - the suppression kicked in mid morning today.
Looking forward to a month or two where I will be able to eat sensibly and get all my nutrients in

(deleted as I wrote on the wrong thread)

I've been feeling really tired this week and I was thinking it was the MJ - then I realised I've drastically cut my calories and upped my exercise. I'm bound to feel knackered!

I don't get that high from food any more either. I have ADHD and I think I'd been self-medicating - getting dopamine hits from food. It's so freeing to be past that!

What does your meal plan for a day look like to ensure you’re getting your protein in? I have not done very well today. I had a half piece of toast and jam for breakfast, half a chicken wrap for lunch and a small frozen cook meal for dinner - I normally eat tons more than that and loaddddds of protein like Greek yogurt, tuna pitta and chicken breast & rice (honestly I don’t know how I’m this overweight when I feel like I eat relatively well normally but hey ho). Probs only around 1000 calories and rubbish protein levels 🙈

Morning to all of u. Today is my weight in day for Wk2. Yesterday was Jab 3 for me. I am so pleased to see another 5lb this week

S/W 13.5
CW 12.9
GW 9.5 slightly changed this but happy to get anywhere close lol

@babyhandsrobin

Wow! That’s so many lbs! How are you feeling?

feeing fine in week 2, but I do have a very weird taste in my mouth and tongue is kind of gross (furry - sorry, TMI!). Maybe dehydrated?

Haha I know I was shocked because I had a small pizza at the wkend and was convinced I wouldn’t lose as much as I have. I haven’t had that side effect just a bit of nausea and extremely cold lol. Fingers crossed for ur next weight in 😊🤞🤞

Edited as realised this is old thread and off to new one!
