@itbemay1 that's fab! For how long would you want to carry an air con unit around?

What is weiad thread?

Protein. I don't go chasing it cos I think I get enough generally eating. Is useful to have a tin of beans or lentils handy that can get added to a soup, salad, rice dish etc. Peanut butter, chopped peanuts or sesame seeds and eggs and chilli fermented sota beans add a lot to a stir-fry

I make this now and again. Superfoods claim is hooey but it is really nice.

Going to give those a go! Thanks for the recipe.

it stands for what I eat in a day.

i work in schools and often have no access to fridges or microwaves so often have protein shakes during the day and then a proper dinner. It’s working and when I come off I’ll add in high volume low calorie snacks and more protein to fill me up during the day. Staying away from meal deals and family size packs of Maltese’s!

poppym12 · 20/03/2025 22:30

I won't be eating a Higgedy spinach and feta quiche again. My first experience on mounjaro of having to dash to the toilet.

Azuresky68 · 21/03/2025 01:24

Many thanks for the lovely comments! I wish MJ had been around before. I am so overjoyed to be slim now..even if I am top of my healthy BMI. Love that I can feel my ribs! All my life has been overshadowed by weight issues. All I can say is never give up...it's never too late. My 40's and 50's were crap but lo I love my 60's. Wishing you all the very best ❤️❤️❤️

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/03/2025 06:52

Awes @Azuresky68. Have you had a glass or two 😂😘

oh dear @poppym12. Too rich ?

That’s means I have lost 5s and 1 lb

5 fucking stone. Omfg

Motnight · 21/03/2025 07:33

Well done @Blondeshavemorefun! It almost doesn't seem real the amount of weight you have lost!

Whatever happens with my weight loss and elephant's penis will always be involved!

Glittermoonlight · 21/03/2025 07:52

@Blondeshavemorefun absolutely fantastic!🎉- over 5 stone loss is amazing! Well done! It really is an incredible achievement.
MJ is truly changing our lives.

weaselyeyes · 21/03/2025 08:47

I’ll be very glad when we’re all past the elephant’s penises 😀

Well done @Blondeshavemorefun - 5 stone is amazing!

I have lost 1lb - a mere 4 stone 8 in total - but I’m happy with that because I’m NORMAL!! My BMI is 24.9. Frankly I can’t believe there hasn’t been a massive thunderclap over the east of England to celebrate. My body looks really terrible compared to the last time I was this weight - about 21 years ago - but I forgive it, and I hope it forgives me.

I hope to lose another stone to take me into a mid-range of BMI, but for today I’m very happy.

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/03/2025 09:05

Thanks @Motnight. It def doesn’t seem real

and I feel the same always involving an elephants penis into the total

not quite sure why 😂😂😂😂

@Glittermoonlight thank you. Seem insane

I lost 4s via ww 20yrs ago. Then piled it back on and another 3st on top 🙀😳😳

@weaselyeyes sad to say. Or maybe I’m happy to say it

there will always be elephant penis’s about in auggies 😛😛😛🐘🐘🐘

but well done you @weaselyeyes for getting to normal bmi 🌟🌟🌟

and your claim to fame of an elephants penis 😂😂

Azuresky68 · 21/03/2025 10:34

@weaselyeyesfantastic news!! What an achievement. I was 1 pound away from top of my healthy BMI before this holiday so back to business when I get home!
@Blondeshavemorefun wow...well done. You must be so happy and well deserved!
I ate the best steak I had ever eaten last night but couldn't finish it. Managed to share a bottle of red wine too with no ill effects!

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/03/2025 11:04

Well done @FlappingMadly and thank you @FlappingMadly and @Azuresky68

weaselyeyes · 21/03/2025 11:05

Glad to hear you've managed to get back to a little indulgence on your holiday @Azuresky68! I've been hoping to reach my final goal weight before i go on holiday, which is June, but now I'm hoping I don't quite get there as I'd be gutted to instantly go over again. I think any more coming off will be very slow in any case, so I intend to creep forwards, desperately trying to hang on to my progress so far.

NippyNinjaCrab · 21/03/2025 11:08

Hey how is everyone? I've missed so much ffs! Take me a while to properly read through. @Azuresky68 you look bloody fabulous, I can't see your pics @eeeeeeeee 😕

I wwj today and lost a wee pound so it's 3lbs to goal yay. I've had stomach issues this week, I ran out of prunes and I wasn't going far with walk locations and the co-op didn't have any all week! Long story boring, I stocked up and poo was gone. After I weighed myself though I did another 3 poos, wtaf, I said to DH I wondered what they all weighed together. He said I was disgusting hahaha 😆 😂

DH is home for a week or two, his peranal abscess wound has been leaking since he got the operation last June (sorry tmi) and I have been nagging him to see the GP in case it's a fistula developing. Anyway, he woke up Wednesday morning and got a fright as it was bleeding a good bit, so he's got it checked and mri referral to be safe and cream as the tissue has hyper granulation. Ffs honestly! He should have went sooner but naw!

I've started to feel like making things again food related, I'm so glad the MJ is coming out my body. I'm going to micro dose today a 1.25mg, if Shotsy is correct that will leave me with 3mg in my body, that's enough for this wee Crustacean

morbidcuriosity · 21/03/2025 11:09

Just jumping in quickly to say we'll done @Blondeshavemorefun 5 stones!!! Sorry.. over 5 stones!!! Whoop!
@Azuresky68looking fab
And I did see @eeeeeeeeepics before that dissappear somehow.. but looking good too..
Everyone in this thread has done so well..
I'm keeping fingers crossed for seeing a 12 on them scales come Monday, am not gonna weigh till then which is hard as a daily weigher but thought I'd give it a go for the week just for fun..

NippyNinjaCrab · 21/03/2025 11:10

Ps 🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🎉🎉 for all the losses and nsv whoops xxxxxx

AuntieDote · 21/03/2025 11:32

Hello all my August lovelies!

Wow @Blondeshavemorefun - bloody well done, 5 stone is amazing.

Also, amazing news @weaselyeyes on being 'normal' - that's a fantastic achievement.

Well done all the other losers too and sorry for everything I've missed - I've only skimmed the last couple of pages after being awol yet again. Lots going on with house sale, a purchase falling through, work going crazy, sick relatives and I don't know what else. I've just not really been able to have the headspace for MJ chat, though I've been plodding on my little self. I am most definitely making only the most incremental and slow progress what with still being on the very low doses, but progress is progress.

I did count clicks and up it to about 4 mg this week on Monday, seemed ok and almost like it wasn't working at all for a day or two, then low and behold last night I was up with the runs all night. Also - and I won't go into more details as it's already TMI - but I always know when it's MJ being the cause of the stomach issue rather than just my general IBS/ wonky guts or a bug - it's definitely a distinct type of misery! Oh well, small mercies I wasn't sick so that's something! I'm not too concerned, I've had a good run since restarting and if anything it's just reaffirmed my knowledge that sticking to the low doses is the best thing for me, even if they're not as effective as going up.

poppym12 · 21/03/2025 11:45

Maybe @Blondeshavemorefunbut I had risotto last night, 2 cups of decaf coffee this morning (as usual) and it's worse.

I've read that some people get d or v on Mounjaro but I never have and I'm just finishing my second 10mg pen.

I'll see how today goes before I decide whether to take imodium or anything as I'm constipated most of the bloody time.

whethertheweather · 21/03/2025 11:56

Well done everyone with recent achievements. @Azuresky68 you look fab.

WWJ for me tomorrow and I'm fully expecting to have gained. Wednesday was a really fridge picky day for the first time since August, and then yesterday I went visit my elderly Aunties in North London and that involved smoked salmon bagels... couldn't and didn't want to resist . Tasted bloody delicious.

Anyway, I'm determined to make today a better day to see what I can retrieve. Off to the gym later. I've also got a great recipe for miso chicken thighs and rainbow chard that tastes good cold as well as hot, so I'm going to make a batch and put it into the damn fridge so picky won't feel so disastrous next time.

I had dropped down to a dose of 6.25 last week in fear of side effects, and I've got that much again still left in my 12.5 pen. Given the food noise crept back in, I don't know whether to use up the 6.25 and then top up a bit more to say 10 from my new 10 pen, or just to stick with 6.25 again and control myself better. It was quite a relief not to have side effects this week.

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/03/2025 13:53

Feel a little better after a nap 😴😴

awww @NippyNinjaCrab love your pic - well done for lb loss

maybe you had a 7lb poo baby like I did

sorry to hear dh is poorly - leaking doesn’t sound good - you know what men are like

1.25 wonder if you will notice that dose if have 3 in your body

@morbidcuriosity thank you. Seem crazy I have lost that - here’s hoping for a 12 on the scales Monday - I o my weight once a week

@AuntieDotethanks and sorry your week and house selling hadnt t been good - your buyers or your sellers

but you have carried on plodding and that’s what matters - you say it’s slow progress but it’s a loss so going in the right direction but if you go higher seems you suffer

oh no @poppym12 it may be a bug then

only been one very bad case of 🤮💩 for me and they was starting 10 and had me doubt it but as was 🤮💩 for a week I’m sure it was Nora virus

I would say pop a pill but if constipated would it make it worse - never had that issue so ……..

@whethertheweather fingers crossed for tomorow and surely one little bagel couldn’t push you over the edge

what’s the highest dose you have done before feeling poorly
