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!

W5D4
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! 😂

@incognitomummy I got these. They don’t do the body fat etc, but weighing is consistent and got the highest score from Which

@sweetpickle2 Yes I did after the first dose, but haven’t had it with any since. Does the area look red? How many injections have you done so far?

@MrsHero yes I’ve noticed that sweet things taste almost sickeningly sweet now. I normally love chocolate but the thought of it now makes me feel a bit queasy.

@Mounjaroday Yayy that’s good news about your wedding ring!

I am fairly shocked about how instantly effective it has been.

I suppose this lack of greed is what naturally thin people experience all the time.

Started off 13.12. Now 12.12* after only two doses at 2.5mg

*Nobody has noticed.

I'm 3.3 lbs down in 2 weeks. Average calories 1760. Pleased with that.

So MJ has given me my first period in over a year which I'm less than impressed with. My periods stop with any type of contraception which I love so was surprised with its arrival a couple of days ago but after reading up seems this is common.

It has also affected my loss this week which is only -1lb. I'm trying not to get disheartened with that because I know from past experience my period usually has me clinging on to about 4lb and I get a good loss the week after but...

Anyway NSV this week as loads of people have commented on my weight loss.

Start weight 18st
Loss this week -1lb
Weight now 16st 1lb
Target 12st

In my experience, depending on your size, people notice at the 2-3 stones mark.

Well done on your amazing loss!

My first week on 5mg and a 4lb loss! That's by far my largest since the first week. I have eaten out twice as well, choosing what I want from the menu and stopping when full.

Hit two mile stones this week - I've lost a stone (finally) AND I'm in Onederland.

SW 15st0.8
CW 14st0.8

5mg is definitely more noticeable and side effects are creeping in, but they are minimal and don't affect my day.

Yay @Mounjaroday great NSV

@Anxietysux How annoying for you! I was annoyed enough that mine started a couple of days early. Hope it's a one off for you.

Well done everyone with the losses 🎉 and well done to those without losses, having to dig deep and plod on until the scales catch up ❤️

My weigh day is tomorrow but I’ve already dropped 5.5lbs this week. I know some will be water weight but Mounjaro has surprised me as I’ve not felt the same suppression as Wegovy yet it’s working the same with hardly any side effects. Wonder drug! I have consciously eaten better too.

4th jab tonight. I won't inject in to my thigh again. I know the location wasn't the actual reason for the rough week I've had but I feel a bit superstitious about!
Side effects were bad, food noise was high and all the other gross side effects you can think of have been plaguing me this week.

I've also been stuck at 106.8kg for about 10 days, a few times going back up to 107.4kg and one dip down to 106.2kg.

Finally broke that annoying yo-yo and weighed in at 104.4kg this morning!

A non scale victory from yesterday - I was feeling so down, just fed up and miserable, and my brain was just like EAT THE CAKE EAT THE CHOCOLATE, and I work in a bakery so they are right there, and I resisted! I didn't give in to the sad mood sugar binge I desperately wanted and always used to.
I need to find another way to make myself feel better that doesn't mean bingeing in attempt to find comfort. Years of therapy couldn't do it but I think mj will be the key to being able to utilise what I learned.

End of week 3 weigh in

SW - 96.55
CW - 92
This week's loss - 1.3kg
TL - 4.55

I weigh daily and have actually gained 150g since yesterday 🤦‍♀️ But happy with the loss I have as it's under the 1.5kg mark, which I am determined not to exceed so I maintain a healthy rate of loss

Everything feels great. Easily managing to stick to calories. Hungry at meal times and after exercise, but I want that. I am satisfied with healthy choices and small portions. I was a little more daring this week, not through choice. My partner made a homemade pie with single cream in it 🤦‍♀️ I was a bit scared it would trigger side effects but I was absolutely fine.

I am as regular as clockwork on the loo. I am thirsty a lot, but not excessively so. This is great, as I didn't get thirsty very often before, so probably spent a lot of time dehydrated!

I have been carrying an extra stone (above my usual overweight weight) for the past year and I have been physically conscious of it, like I am constantly carrying a backpack. I have always walked a lot and at speed so it's really bothered me. I have lost that feeling of lugging around the extra weight and feel really spry and speedy now.

I'm all a bit out of sync. As I delayed my next jab due to awful constipation, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to continue.

It's been a bit of a weird 10days with weight loss. My period meant I ended up putting on weight last week.

So week 5 weigh results: -1lb
Total: 17lb!

That actually makes me feel a bit better seeing the overall number 😊. As I was feeling a bit disheartened!

Well done everyone on your losses - and I think what stands out is how much BETTER people say they feel. That’s priceless 🥰

im feeling a bit down today! Haven’t lose any weight for 10 days, despite not eating much. I have an Underactive thyroid and it makes it so much harder to lose weight in general and now I’m panicking that this won’t work either.

Also with news about making it harder to get the pens, just feel disheartened!

I took my bonus dose this am of the 2.5mg pen. it was about 0.72 ml, but I can’t find anywhere which converts it to how many mg that it. If anyone knows please let me know!

End of W2 weigh in for me

SW 96kg
CW 92.7kg
CBMI 33.2

I've lost 1.3kg this week - I am pleased as this is just over the sensible rate I was going for, however I'm also a bit disappointed because my period ended and I was hoping for an extra drop because of that.

I thought suppression was wearing off a bit yesterday, until I tried to eat a very small slice of cake a colleague made for a special occasion. I couldn't finish it and I really really didn't want to eat it.

I was going to wait until the end of w3 to make a decision about the next pen, but the delay stories on here have me worried. I'd been hoping to stick on 2.5 for a second month, but I'm worried about it being less effective and then having to struggle through a second month.

How does it work switching providers once you get below 30/28 BMI? I'm a long way from this but I'm just thinking ahead - about whether I need to position myself with a particular provider before I go below 30?

No I started 2 weeks later than they 'think' so I was getting the 'time to reorder your pen missy!' emails/text - and was about to do so then happened to get an email from their customer service contractor (Dermica I think they're called) asking for a copy of my Record so that they "can continue to provide the service" which sounded like it's non-negotiable. They are about £20 more than others right now so it could push me to get a better deal anyway which is never a bad thing.

They said they contacted my GP to ask (I did give permission in the original onboarding process) and of course my GP told them to do one.. why would they spend time/resource on passing info to a 3rd party- so no MEx said I need to ask for it myself and send them a copy. I called my GP surgery (at 5:55pm, so not optimistic) and they said they get dozens of requests now a week and it can take up to 30 days. She said to email the surgery with a formal request and stress the urgency. If you've already been approved for your 7.5 you'll be fine for the pen I'd hope - I hadn't got as far as re-ordering. But yes, my advice would be to ask for it meanwhile. I just don't know how often this might need to be provided because I'd have thought, technically, I could send the report today and be prescribed something new tomorrow so it's outdated. 🤔 Boy, the NHS are going to get hammered one way or another it seems.

Well done everyone on those losses, you are all doing amazing!

Great find of your wedding ring, my aim is to be able to get mine off 🤣

Like another poster I had a small piece of son's 30th birthday cake last night. The sweetness was ridiculous, way too much and it really shocked me, how noticeable it was.

I ordered my second pen 5mg a couple of weeks ago, from a new provider, but next week I'm doing the 5th dose, so I'm thinking it might seem a while since I last ordered and it might be a problem, the gap, when I order my third pen? What do you think? Will I end up having to order my third pen earlier too?
On the other hand, I've had my 4th dose and not had a reminder email from oushk who supplied my first

Argh! I weight daily coz and got the past 3 days I've gone up 0.2 a day. Bringing my total loss since 5 feb to 9.8 lb.
The only throng keeping me going is when I look at a face pic from start to today there is a huge difference.
Trying not to dwell on it!
Just taken my first 5mg so I'm telling myself that I'm just lucky to have lost anything on the starter dose and the actual medication starts today!!!

4 week weigh in.
Starting weight - 15 stone, 8 lbs
Current weight - 14 stone, 12 lbs.
Total loss so far - 10 lbs (averaging 2.5 lbs per week)
Nice to see the 14's again!!
Bonus dose of whatever left in pen today after work, then onto 5 mg next week.
Well done everyone on your losses and other achievements 😊

A dose is 0.6ml so 0 72ml is a full dose plus 20%

So 3mg I think???

This might be totally wrong as my brain has just done it automatically and it's not the most reliable when ìt comes to maths

Ive lost 7lbs so far which isnt massive in the grand scheme of things but do you find it nice/odd when your jeans are getting loose and your having to keep pulling them up? I keep feeling my fat rolls, its like theyre deflating! 😂

Just dropping in to update on how I'm feeling after taking my first 5mg jab on Monday . On 2.5mg I seemed to have avoided feeling cold like a lot of you but my lord I'm FREEZING now . Feeling quite sick with a light headache but constipation has eased off which is a big win ! Definitely got more suppression .

I can't edit as I'm on the app but I took the jab Wednesday, not Monday .

We are about the same actual WL and timings and I think the same. I took my first 5mg yesterday and feels like the proper start.

Best of luck 😁

Thank you! You too!

Wk 4 day 1 here. Last injection of 2.5.

SW 124.5
CW 119
TL 5.5 kg (12lbs)

My body feels softer, more squishy. My face has de puffed a bit, I think.
