Mounjaro, 10st or more to lose, thread two

[Iwouldratherbesinging]

Starting a new friendly and supportive thread, we’re almost full on the last one.
original thread is here https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/weight-loss-injections/5226758-mounjaro-10st-or-more-to-lose

So I measured last night as starting a 3rd pen and I do it each pen and I've lost 10cm each from hips/waist/stomach/chest. I'm amazed as it's not at all obvious in the photos (because I'm so very large!!). It shows it's working doesn't it.

Also today I was able to go out with my daughter and husband on a trail andw alked 11000 steps (broken up with coffee etc) I am amazed. I think I've said here before I was properly sedentary for a long time and would struggle after about 10mins of walking. This has to be mj/elvanse working other magic other than weight loss.

Has anyone got a discount code for ZAVA by any chance, my next dose is 10 mil and 199 quid 🫣🫣

@Springsunfloweri did my first 12.5 on Monday and it’s been the worst week I’ve had on MJ. Extremely nauseous, very acidic and either trying to 💩 or trying not to 💩 😬😬. I’ve noticed slightly increased side effects every time I’ve gone up but it usually eases off quite fast. I’m gonna try 12.5 one more time this week but if it’s no better I’m going back to 10mg. Hope you feel better

I do ill pm you

Well I want to stay on 7.5mil well that was my plan but I’ve been on 7.5 well over 2 months, but I’ve nearly got to my target well the closes I’ve been in years, and I just looked for 10mil it’s 189.99 plus delivery!! I’ve been absolutely freezing on the m.j since day 1 absolutely freezing 🥶 but others have too, might try and stay on 7.5mil, 7.5 was ok for me it was 5 mil I was really bad side affects, xx

Thannnnkkkkk you xx

Not a problem 🙂 I've sent you it should get 25% off.

I'm currently on 10mg and plan to stay on it for a while, as I still have 6 stone to go I didn't want to go to 15 too quickly as then there's no increase to go up to. On my sneaky weigh this morning I'd put a bit back on.

The work we've been doing on the house is nearly complete so can start using the kitchen again properly tomorrow, hooray!

Thankyou ,yes I've been the same ,and never had side effects other than hair loss and tired .
I had some salad bits for lunch , thinking a light meal might help ,but that was 4 hours ago and it's still churning.
I'm wondering if the next dose I could take half of the 12mg twice in the week .but I don't know how I would get the pen to do that .. maybe I shouldn't mess with it ..I don't know

@Springsunflower a full dose is 60 clicks, so for a half dose you'd need to count 30 clicks.

I didn't know that ..thankyou

It’s saying invalid or invalid date or something it won’t let me do it xxx

I've tried sending you just the code, I think you can just put it in the promo code box at the end. Only other person that used it was some one I know irl.

NSV cutting toe nails is a lot easier than it was previously 🙂

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend, wall to wall sunshine here which was lovely. Also great to see lots of new people here, welcome everyone! As @Luckypoppy says, it’s cosy in here ☺️

I tend to avoid full length mirrors for obvious reasons, we have one hidden away in a spare bedroom, went and bought a new one this weekend and it’s hanging in the hallway near the front door so can’t be avoided, I don’t recognise myself!! It’s a really odd feeling. I’ve read about other people saying it takes a while for the brain to catch up. I definitely feel better, I move better and know I look ‘better’, but mentally I’m still the same as before.

I’ve been asked by a friend if I fancy doing ‘park runs’, there’s one just across the road from me. I’ve said I’ll think about it, I want to but there’s a bit of me that’s terrified and I’ll definitely need a heavy duty sports bra!

I'd like to do a park run but I still wouldn't want to be the last one to make it round, but I'd be more motivated with a group of people and not just me.

I think I'll try the route on my own before doing it properly to see how long I'd take/if I could actually manage it

ETA I have sports bras from m and s which have been very supportive however it might be that they don't fit any more. I'll try find a link.

This is like what I have but looks like they have changed to call them good move. They do bigger ones too but they're on a separate link

Well yesterday I hit 4 stone down! I started on 31 October at 24stone 3.5lb, now at 20stone 1lb (I'm on 7.5mg at the moment - don't want to go higher as side effects are annoying me the couple of days post-jab at the moment. Tend to lose a steady 2lb a week - balanced out by weeks where I stay stable or lose 1lb versus weeks where I can have more of a loss (I weigh every day so now have a fair pattern in my mind of how things fluctuate). Started at a clothes size 28/30 (I tended to buy huge for fear of stuff not fitting), now between a 22/24 (18/20 on top - I'm bottom heavy).

Still a loooong way to go on it - hoping by the time I get near a good BMI the trials on oral meds are progressing well so options for maintenance increase.

Well done @TorturedParentsDepartment I put an emoji that I thought well done (👏) but apparently it means thanks 🙏 go figure

Yay @TorturedParentsDepartment well done you! That’s the approximate weight of an eight year old child 😁 I’m hoping for the same with tomorrow’s weigh in.

Just ordered one! Thank you for the link 😊
had to double check my size, I’m currently wearing bras with a 44 band measurement, apparently I should now be a 38!! (Still a ginormous cup size though) no wonder the bands on all my bras ride up 😂

KLAXON

Today I'm 7 stone down!

Only 3 stone to go. I've been on MJ since last July. I actually started dieting in January 2024.

Most of my clothes are size 14 now. I was size 24 when I started.

I'm on 15mg.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne congratulations that is amazing!

1st injection was Saturday.
Feeling a bit ropey today, but I'm not sure it's to do with the MJ...
Sore throat, hoarse voice.
Feeling a bit flat - could be one of my generally low MH days though.
Tired- have barely done anything today, but again, could be normal for me.
Snappy - my DS (3) had been very testing today, but he's seen my sharp tongue a few times unfortunately.

Dunno if any of this is relevant, but i guess I just wanted to get it off my chest x x x

@FatsiaJaponicaInTheGarden That’s brilliant! I love a walk now, try to get out most days. Enjoy it now I’m not dying of breathlessness.

@Iwouldratherbesinging and @Lds1 Enjoy those park runs, apparently they are very social and don’t mind if you walk the whole thing. Will defo be looking to join one once I’m a bit lighter. It’s these good habits that are going to keep the chub off long run.

@TheFunkyDuckling Could you be coming down with a bug? Sounds more poorly sick than Mounjaro symptoms. Hope you feel better soon

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne and @TorturedParentsDepartment Amazing!! You’ve lost an entire adult between you!!
