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!

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

I'm freezing too! Our flat is terrible for getting cold anyway (poor insulation, single glazed, rubbish storage heaters etc) but I used to cope with it just fine - now when I WFH I need to wear slippers, thermal pjs and a dressing gown plus a fluffy blanket over my knees all day long (well, I do put on a slightly smarter jumper when I need to join Teams calls 🤣). I was even eyeing up fingerless gloves the other day haha

Just found the thread. I started on 24 Feb and had jab 4 yesterday. 1 stone down so far.

I'm combining with 1-to-1 diet that I lost 4 and a half stone on about 7 years ago. Lockdowns, thyroid, pregnancy and breastfeeding and I put 3 back on. My 3 year old has (finally!) stopped breastfeeding so I've been raring to go.

SW 13.6
CW 12.6
GW 10. 4 ( top of healthy BMI for me at 5'4")

As my mum always said, we weigh heavier than we look. I got down to 9 and a half stone last 1-1 effort and was a size 8 with a 26inch waist and found it too hard to maintain, so hoping 10.4 is more reasonable. I'm actually OK at 11, but BMI says otherwise. Currently size 14 although starting to fit back into some 12s.

Will read previous threads but is there a quick guide to some things I've come across? Bonus jabs for example. Also loving the weight loss indicators of microwaves and traffic cones.

Hi, @Nomunchmounjo and welcome! You might want to pop over to the new thread (link above)

A bit disappointed today. Did my 4th 2.5mg dose and didn't lose anything at all this week. I have to admit I did have friends over at weekend and went over my calorie allowance but scaled back the next couple of days to compensate. Apparently that does not work. 6lb loss in total so far so at least it's a loss. I find by day 5 the food noise is back. Looking forward to going on to 5mg dose next week. Does the increased dose help with the food noise and will it last all week?

Hiya there's a new thread now, number 4 if you want to head there x

Week 6 for me, I’ve decided to stay on the 2.5 as it seems to be working.

Ive lost a stone / 14 pounds over 6 weeks! I’ve really pleased with that. Under active thyroid, 45 year old mum of 4… I’ve been putting on steadily over the last year or more.

Start weight - 12 stone 5 pounds
6 week weigh in - 11 stone 5 pounds

@Roxymama

Weekly weigh in, 4th 2.5 injection today.

SW: 13st 12
CW: 13st 3
TW: 11st ish

Slower off this week but I’ve had my period and constipation! Sorry for TMI.

SW 16st 10
CW 15st 8

So took my fifth dose last Thursday, I stuck with 2.5 mg as I get huge suppression and get full so fast. But this week despite still getting go suppression the scale hasn’t shifted at all. I have been calorie counting the last few days and actually ended eating some fruit to up my count as I am struggling to eat tbh. Could I be eating too little? Drinking plenty of water, veggies, fruit fish etc. I have read on here, possibly on another thread people talking about a Whoosh? Could I be on a plateau and my body will catch up next week? Anyone else had this, don’t want to go higher as I am struggling to eat as it is. Just got up now and have zero hunger in fact feel like I have a full stomach tbh. Going to force something down shortly. I am not constipated either so no clue

Had an awful first week on 5mg. Liquid bowel movements from day three onwards.

improved only today by taking fybogel for the last two days. Was googling fecal impaction it’s been so bad.

sulphur burps were hideous too.

just taken second jab into thigh. For some reason decided to stab into our thigh rather than fat inner thigh and it’s now made a bubble under my skin, maybe accidentally intramuscular 😬 hope it still works as 1stone down since mid Feb I don’t want to go backwards

Hey I have just seen this thread. I’ve been on it since 3rd Feb and Im about to order 3rd pen - 7.5mg.
I’ve gone from 12st 10 to 11 st 8 so am really pleased as I usually struggle like hell to lose. Im only 5ft 2.5 so I want to lose another stone at least and am panicking about how much it’s costing me.
I had a referral for medexpress and can refer people of there is anyone who wants a code so we both save money - or does anyone have tips on how I can save money off my next injection?

Im also under active! And same age. I’ve been trying to lose weight for years! Do you pay privately or get it prescribed via gp as Im finding it so expensive and would love to know how I can get it cheaper

So I was boasting last week about how much suppression I had and how I was going to be a size 0 in no time.....

This week (same dose) IM SO FUCKING HUNGRY.....zero suppression
And constantly hangry?!

@zerofucksgivenever you need to keep increasing the dose until you find the level that works for you.

I'm.currently on 5mg. The first two doses gave brilliant suppression but the third dose wore off after 3 days. I'm going to go up to 7.5mg next time.

Yip I know that, had almost 10 weeks of suppression until this week.....can't just keep going up forever! 😂
