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! 😂

Is anyone here using Wegovy? Or are you all on Mounjaro?

This is a MJ specific thread so I would assume so- there will likely be a Wegovy thread somewhere on the board :)

Weigh in today is 200.2lbs 😭 So only 0.8 off for week 3. I know I shouldn’t be but I can’t help being a bit upset, I know I’m doing everything right and I’m tracking each bite. I’m desperate to hit onederland. It might help if I wasn’t struggling so much with bloating and constipation. Rabbit pellet central here.

You are so close and if you can ahem...get things moving you never know you might be just under! Im taking fiber supplements and a pro biotic and I've been fairly regular but week 1 I was most uncomfortable...

Hi all. Wonder if anyone can relate to this or just me! I was away for weekend with friends. Didn't eat too badly, certainly not like I would have previously, but did have a piece of cake and had alcohol. Both for first time since on this. Yesterday and today I feel no suppression at all. I'm due to move to 5 on Wednesday so could just be way it is, but really don't like how having drank alcohol etc seemed to put a stop to the good feelings of mounjaro? I was going to try for 5th dose but may not now incase it's just that the 2.5 has worn off for me now x

Febnewbie · 03/03/2025 13:25

I do seem to have put back on a lb or two which since I hadn't actually lost much to begin with is a bit depressing 😔

SW - 13st 8
W1 - 13 st 7
W2 - 13 st 3
W3 - 13 st 5

In the light of this and starting to feel appetite returning (as well as IBS symptoms returning which had been better) rather than do wk 4 injection tomorrow, I am going to do it today instead and rather than do a bonus dose next week, as I was planning, I am going to use a syringe and go for a bit extra to get ready for going up to 5 next week

Just checking in. Did my golden dose from the 2.5 mg pen. Managed to get a does of around 3.2mg out. Am due to start my first 5mg pen on Friday, but am thinking may do a 3.75 dose out of it first as am worried about the jump up in case it causes any horrible side effects.
Has anyone else done this, and did it help?

I havent done it but I think thats my plan, the 2.5 to 5 is the only dose that doubles overnight so might be good to move slowly up over a couple weeks. I'll be interested to see how it goes for you, as im not due bonus dose till friday, so a few days behind you

aylis · 03/03/2025 13:33

W2 D3... very little suppression and noticed in the last couple of hours I'm thinking about food a lot. I know this isn't the dose that delivers the most help in shutting it out but it makes the next 2.5 weeks seem very long.

HoratioBum · 03/03/2025 13:51

I had a terrible weekend food wise. It's only my second week but I was seeing friends and family from one end of the weekend to the other. I didn't eat tons of food but I certainly had more than I should and also alcohol. The suppression had definitely worn off a bit insofar as I was able to eat. In my first week I had to force myself to eat anything.

This weekend I ate out of habit and also so as not to let on too much that I am 'dieting'. Got on the scales this morning and 3 pounds back on in three days! But I'm also hugely constipated so need to address that.

Back on it today and I have to say I don't really feel hungry. I had my breakfast as normal, have drunk a litre of water already and just eaten a small lunch. I feel pleasantly full, and more importantly the noise still isn't there. So hopefully the weekend was a blip and I'm back on the wagon.

Anyone used IQdoctor? They were cheapest for my second lot of jabs (staying on 2.5mg for now)

Ordered on Friday, they requested and i provided additional info (selfies and ID) the same day and I got a response saying they'd received them and were in the process of reviewing.

But no update at all since! I need them to hurry up as I should be doing my next jab Wednesday! Why are they taking so long 😫😫

MaddyM8 · 03/03/2025 15:02

Hey guys

Week 3 weigh in for me.

SW: 13 stone 10
CW: 12 stone 7
GW: 11 stone for now see how we go

Total loss 1 stone 3 lbs not sure what that equivalent to but I'm deffo gonna look it up haha!

Well done on all your losses it's amazing to see and share ❤️

Herefordian · 03/03/2025 15:08

@Everyothernamewasalreadyinuse I took 3.75mg for my 5th dose and plan to move up to 5mg next week. So far, so good.

However, commiserations to my fellow constipation sufferers. I'm getting seriously bunged up. I've bought bisacodyl and senna today. If it doesn't work I may have to reconsider moving up to 5mg. It's the only side effect I have but I really need to get it sorted. Flax seed is now on my shopping list too, thanks for the recommendations.

OntheTrainX · 03/03/2025 15:10

I ordered my second batch from Zava and was impressed by their efficiency. Used someone’s code from the Discounts thread.

Was it quite easy to swap to Zava? Do they still need photos and ID, etc?

Ashabeth · 03/03/2025 16:11

Am on week 5 and on my 5th (Golden dose) 2.5mg injection...
I have the 5mg pen on standby and slightly nervous about going up a dose as my symptoms haven't been bad at all

SW 18st 9.8lb
CW 17st 7lb

Have lost a large wash load!!
(Yes I'm that fun that housework is my comparison!🙄)... but seriously, walking from the hamper to the machine with my arms full of washing and bending down to pick up the 75th loose sock to fall.... I'd say that's pretty substantial! 😁

The constipation is also making me quite miserable . I'm taking fybogel everyday as well as fibre supplements , my usual pro biotic and have really upped my fibre and water including prunes . And it's still not working . I'm going every 5-7 days which is not right and tummy is so uncomfortable. I used to suffer years ago and since having gallbladder removed and taking the supplements it's been fine but now my body has gone nope again .

I had my first 5mg jab yesterday. I read so many stories about dreadful side effects that I was extremely apprehensive. But - apart from being a bit tired and only slightly nauseous- I feel ok. Certainly, there’s absolutely zero food noise and I have complete disinterest in food again (it was beginning to wane a little on 2.5mg). If some of you are worrying about moving up, I hope this offers some reassurance

I got my first pen with them and they were great. Approved within a few hours and I got the pen the next day.

Has anyone taken MJ on the Eurostar? I'm going on it in a few weeks and just occurred to me it'll be over my jab day. I've read about people taking it on planes but not Eurostar- I assume they'll be even less bothered but wondered if anyone had taken it on themselves?

WLINewbie · 03/03/2025 17:33

To those who have switched providers did you new one ask for a pic of your stickered mounjaro box?

I was do excited to start I think I'd jabbed within 2 mins of delivery!! I threw the box in the bin

SansaClegane · 03/03/2025 17:46

@PurpleCoo ah, nice to meet someone who understands the struggle 😅 nearly a stone down and I look exactly the same still, although the stomach is slightly flatter / the waist a bit smaller! think maybe another stone and there might be more of a difference...?! we shall see!

@sc0ttishlass, I had 2 glasses of wine at the weekend (and a curry!), but can't say it's made a difference. I certainly got drunk at a faster speed though! fingers crossed you're feeling the suppression again soon?

Zava didn’t but they did request photos of me and the scales.

Just done my first 5mg dose, interested to see how it goes.

Ill add in the weekly weigh in, have moved it back a day again so technically day 6.

Sw: 116. 5kg
Cw: 109.3kg
Gw: 75kg

Loss week 4: 1.3kg or 2.8lb

Total loss so far: 7.2kg/15.8lb or a Lhasa Apso

Post period and a bit of a snacking session yesterday so I won't be too surprised if it's a small/no loss next week.

I have also officially moved down a size in hoodie, jeans and tshirts (essentially the only things I wear). The jeans are still quite tight so will be keeping my larger ones in rotation for a few weeks yet. I've also started to notice a difference in my face, one of my chins has shrunk and I'm a bit slimmer on my cheeks.

I was thinking about doing this - I’m only on W2D4 at 2.5 but this week (after zero symptoms the first week) I’ve had a couple of days of upset stomach. Hopefully it’ll wear off, and it’s not unmanageable. But I’m a bit worried about jumping straight up to a double dose in a couple of weeks time. I think it’s just a matter of counting the clicks, and I’m sure I’ve seen people confirming how many clicks it is for a 3.75 dose - I’ll have to trawl through the threads to see if I can find it.
