Mounjaro Feb 2025 starters (thread 3!)

[Mounjaroday]

Hello wonderful people!

Looking forward to hearing how we’re all getting on with your Mounjaro journey, and the general good chat!

SW 103.9kg
CW 94.8kg

I’ve lost a small dog. Has anyone seen it? Next goal for this week: goodbye Kenwood stand mixer! 😂

This is probably a good moment for me to join. I did my first injection a few days ago, just scraping in as a February starter.

Starting weight was 17 stone 2 lb.

I’ve put 12 stone as my goal weight for now. Might revise that eventually, I guess. It feels like it’s a long way away.

I felt immediate suppression and have not been eating much. No side effects yet but I’m sure they will come along at some point 😬

Thread 3!

I've lost a microwave. Heading towards a cat but really hoping to have lost a bald eagle or bicycle by next weigh in 😄

Hi 👋

Start of week 3 for me today :). Took jab this morning and hoping for another good week.

It's funny how we all react differently, though I have good suppression, I can still eat normally (I've always eaten high protein, calories controlled meals but would then eat the equivalent in junk afterwards) I just don't need to have all the sugary stuff. Some people can't finish a salad or eat a spoonful on their dinner and they're done, not sure I'd like that.

I don't weigh myself but will need to for ordering next dose :(. I'd rather not know.

Anyway, happy Saturday everyone 😊

W4 D4.
Have lost 7 pounds so far so not as fast as most. Supression has been mild and wears off by day 5/6. I have gone back to batch cooking which helps me not to eat rubbish throught the week.
Woke up just before 6 with a bad stomach which may be a side effect, not sure really. I have been absolutely freezing at times. Wonder if I will still feel cold in the summer? I wouldn't mind it then!
Can't decide whether to try 3.75 instead of going straight to 5...

Official weigh day is Monday but i snuck on this morning and its -4lbs so far this week (wk2 2.5mg).

SW 17.3
CW 16.10
= -7lbs 🙌

Might be a good moment for me to join! I started mounjaro a week before my 40th birthday in Feb and have just taken my 4th dose today. I haven't had any side effects so far and have definitely found it's working... I'm not hungry a lot of the time, or fussed about food.

I was 280lbs when I started, and dropped to 270 the first two weeks. This last week has been frustrating - I haven't lost at all. I'm used to the week 3 plateau from having lost weight in the past, so hoping it's that. Has anyone else experienced that?

I'm averaging 1600 calories a day, which is about right, though sometimes it's as low as 1200 - too low for how big I am but then it's given me a bit of leeway for other days going out and stuff. Trying to improve protein, fibre and water intake - planning a real push on that next week now I feel I've settled in to the drug.

My goal weight for now is to get under 200lbs which would make me not obese. So a long journey. Though if things carry on as they are that's actually easily achievable by Christmas this year. Feeling hopeful!

Oh! To say, I've ordered my next pen and have stuck with 2.5 as it's working so well. Really hope that's not a mistake as my body gets used to it. What are others doing for their next order?

Welcome @CallIpswichNow and hi again @MJSpideySenses @WLINewbie 👋🏻

.. and @roshi42 @MissionToSize10 @Justbrowsing2024 👋🏻

Haha @mounjaroday @MJSpideySenses I love the weight comparisons Where are you getting them from?

I took my 4th dose of 2.5 on Friday, and I’m planning to extract the bonus dose. I’ve got a 5mg pen in my fridge. I decided to go with 5 as it was essentially the same price as the 2.5. And I think that’s viewed as the first “proper” dose of the medication. I’m not planning to go higher than that, even if suppression wears off by day 4/5. I am viewing it as a nice balance - some willpower, some help. I don’t want to be on these long term.

@roshi42 I searched weight loss equivalent 😊

I did 4 weeks of 2.5mg and have just started 5mg. I felt some suppression and have been lucky with side effects but feel it could be better. So far so good. I will stay on the 5mg for longer if it's doing what I need it to.

Morning! I'm almost 2 stone down since January AND NOT ONE PERSON HAS NOTICED!
Maybe I was fatter than I looked and so that why?! 😂

Thanks for the new thread, @Mounjaroday !

My next pen, 5mg, is nestling in the fridge ready for next Sunday.

Final 2.5mg tomorrow and weigh in. I will also re-do the FAT PHOTOS 😂 for tracking.

My favourite skirt (a denim maxi from m&s) is now far too big. I have ordered a replacement 2 sizes smaller! Let’s hope I’m not waiting until autumn to wear it..

Happy Saturday everyone!

@zerofucksgivenever last time I lost weight it took nearly 4 stone for people to feel confident enough to say anything 🤣 I'd gone from a size 18 to a 12 before anyone outside of family and close friends said anything!
They have probably noticed but daren't say anything yet.

People really are only concerned with themselves, honestly! I think I heard that no one will notice until you’ve lost at least 3 stone..

Woohoo thread 3!

I have the cold and I feel absolutely rubbish, struggling to eat anything

Thank you for the new thread!

Just copying my weigh in over.

W2 D1
SW: 16st 5lb
CW: 16st 1lb
Total loss: 4lb (equivalent to a traffic cone)

Christ almighty! I'd better dig deep then !

@SpiralSister that's pretty accurate to be fair !

Thank you!

Wk3 jab this morning, scores on the doors so far...

Wk2 weigh in.

Start weight: 19st 9lbs
Start BMI: 44.4 (obese)
Current weight: 18st 12lbs
Current BMI: 42.6 (obese)
Loss wk1: 7lbs
Loss wk2: 4lbs
Total loss: 11lbs
Goal: healthy BMI (between 18.5 and 24.9 for my height)

I lost 4stone 2 years ago and, with the exception of my oldest friend who was very supportive, nobody said a word. My brother mentioned it within the context of a conversation about health and blood pressure and that was it.

I found it really interesting and a big change. When I last lost loads of weight, in my 20s so late 1980s, I remember everybody commenting, shopkeepers, random neighbours, loads of people telling me I looked great. It feels very different now.

Thanks for the new thread, @Mounjaroday.
I'm enjoying the company and looking forward to the day when I can say I've lost a small dog.
I think it's just the bag of sugar at the moment. Old style.

@zerofucksgivenever Ha, yeah, I got to 5 stone lost a couple years ago and my brother in law suddenly went have you lost quite a lot of weight?!?! He doesn't see me so often. And then everyone felt confident enough to say!
