Mounjaro Feb 2025 starters (thread 5!)

[Mounjaroday]

Welcome to the latest thread, all WL warriors welcome as always.

Congrats to us all for our achievements and NSVs so far. And props for all the support, encouragement and kindnesses throughout.

Feel we’re breaking the back of this now! Base camp is firmly in our rear view and we’re climbing on … will some start to see the summit in the distance, over the course of this thread? That is pretty darn exciting!

No matter what your pace, and if you’ve lost a microwave, a tin of paint or 192,000 bees: well done!

xx

Thank you!

Looking forward to shopping for holiday clothes this year! First time in forever…

Thanks for the new thread!

SW 16st 10
CW 15st 2

so decided not to right up to 5mg and used clicks to do 3.75mg. Suppression is crazy high again. Struggled to eat anything today.

will see how the week goes but no way stepping up for a few weeks.

Hi all,
Checking in on the new thread, thank you Mounjaroday.
I've just taken my 13th jab and hoping to lose 2lb when I weigh tomorrow.

Week 1 - 2.5mg - 5.5lb loss
Week 2 - 2.5mg - 6lb loss
Week 3 - 2.5mg - 3lb loss
Week 4 - 2.5mg - 3lb loss
Week 5 - 3.48mg - 1.7lb loss
Week 6 - 5mg - 4.8lb loss
Week 7 - 5mg - 3lb loss
Week 8 - 5mg - 0.6lb loss
Week 9 - 3.75mg - 4.6lb loss
Week 10 - 3.75mg - 1.3lb loss
Week 11 - 4mg - 1.1lb loss
Week 12 - 5mg

Very happy with the weight loss but definitely struggling the last couple of weeks with increased food noise and snacking. Still keeping within my daily calories but I'm not making the best food choices at the moment. I think I'm just losing a bit of motivation after 12 weeks. This is the time where I would usually fall of the wagon with a bang. We are spending Easter Sunday with friends so I'm not going to worry too much about calories that day but normally by now I would have already eaten (and then replaced) at least one easter egg!

Thank you for the new thread! Keep going folks x

Thank you for the new thread x

Checking in and place marking.

Thanks for the new thread.
Had my 9th weigh in this morning (first week on 7.5mg) - lost 5.5 which I was very happy with as it'd slowed quite a bit on 5mg. Had fish and chips for tea - only had about a third of a portion of fish and about 10 chips but feel full and pretty horrible to be honest- which I expected! Have family staying all weekend and doing easter hols stuff with the kids has made it difficult to avoid some situations like tonight- out again for lunch on Sunday (set menu) and going to keep reminding myself it's better to waste food then force it down which is a really difficult lesson to try to re-learn! Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Wotcher! Thanks for the new thread 💐

Thread 5 already!

I started thread 4 weighing in at 102.1kg and ended it weighing in at 94.6kg!

So by the end of this one maybe I'll be under 90kg?! Which means less than 200lb and into ONE-DERLAND!

Just spent a lot of time catching up on 5 pages of messages I've missed -well done everyone on your consistency and losses

I hope those of you that are struggling find the right pace for you soon.
I've finished the end of my 5mg pen - got a new one to start tomorrow.

I've taken to weighing everyday as scales dont' know what day is scales day!! which is playing with my head a bit - but over a week only had a slight gain one day overall a loss of just under 1.8lbs over the week

Saw a friend on Wednesday that i've not seen since last year - and she was very complimentary - 24.4lbs lost since Jan (starting MJ start of feb) also had a big sort of of clothes! got out summer clothes and got some out that now fit - and bought 2 size 14 tops as well!! Gave away my 18s to charity/clothing bank!!

still swimming 4/5 times a week, tried zumba but injured knee and foot didn't appreciated it - did yoga again this week (new for me) but it wasn't the best teacher and class.

Sunday will be a challenge as 'afternoon tea' style meal with family... hoping the new jab will help resist the goodies!

Love the threads today reminding me that slow loss is good and prior to MJ I would've given up by now.

🥰

Thank you! Just got to the end of my second 2.5mg pen and used my 'golden dose' however actually for the last 3 weeks I've been gradually working up the clicks, so this was actually dose 8 in total and approx 4mg. First time using a syringe and the needle was massive compared to the usual one!
Have been away on holiday this week so a day late jabbing and haven't dared to weigh myself as only do it in the morning usually... when I left home I was 0.4lb away from a total 1st loss. We'll see what tomorrow brings but not convinced I'll have much of a loss as I've eaten chocolate every night!

Oooh. Thread 5 already!!

Thanks for the new thread!

Morning!

Weigh in day for me today, 10 weeks in:
SW: 15.5
CW: 13.7
TL: 1.12 (impatient for the full 2 stones now, nearly saw it earlier in the week!)

2 lbs off this week, after my first stall last week. Still 10 lbs off being merely overweight, rather than obese, but trying not to focus on that! Lost 4 inches off my waist and this has made my body look totally different..

Have a great weekend lovelies 💐

Happy Easter everyone

Had a totally off day yesterday, not sure why probably tiredness
Lots of celebrations going on at work and I ate a number of things that have not bothered me for weeks, cakes, crisps, chocolate
Not vast quantities but found myself grazing.

Jumped on the scales this morning and a very slight loss, has helped me stay motivated for the weekend ahead.

It might come back to bite me on the scales but I only weight 1/2 a week so hopefully will not.

No chocolate at home for me this year, have asked for a few beauty bits instead.

Hope you all have a fab weekend x

Posting for accountability. My m-i-l arrived yesterday, along with other family members who are staying for Easter. It's lovely to see them all and she is very kind and generous. But the food she brought with her. Cheese, crackers, chocolates, jams, wine, all sorts! Some of the chocolates because she's been given them and doesn't want to eat them herself and so we are the human dustbins. I haven't eaten that sort of stuff for weeks and (definitely a NSV) I don't feel like any of it.

Thankfully, my MJ willpower is intact and I'm just able to say no and pass on the chocolates when they come round. But I do find it hard when people notice/ask why I'm not having pudding. I vow never to be a food pusher with anyone else, and thankfully have avoided it with our children, who are good at eating till they are full and then stopping, whatever the pressure from anyone else (their grandmother!) to clean their plates.

I am looking forward to the Cadbury's creme egg I have promised myself tomorrow.

Thanks for the new thread!

Has anyone done 3.75mg injection with a 2.5mg pen? I am on second month of 2.5mg with three doses left. I have felt that it’s not working as well as the first month, my suppression is less and my losses have slowed. This week I stayed the same and I know I’ve felt hungrier and not made great choices. With three doses left I am thinking of splitting them into two doses and doing 3.75mg. I know people do 3.75 with 5mg pens but wondering if anyone has done it with a 2.5mg pen. Does that sound like a sensible approach?

Don't see why not. Does the 3 left include bonus dose?

Week 10 (!!!!!) Day 1

So after dropping from 5mg to 3.75mg last week, I took 4mg today. Just need to find that sweet spot, I much preferred not having the high suppression and sicky/bloated feeling but also got pretty hungry the past few days.

Just bought my Easter egg (big twirl one) and soooo looking forward to it. Been saving calories all week so it still fits in with my deficit. Just had a wee moment there when I realised in previous years I'd have bought and ate SEVERAL eggs by now, any time there was a deal on I'd be stocking up and binging on them. The twirl egg is sat in the fridge, normally I'd have eaten in on the way home :(. It's nice to be looking forward to it rather than having every inch of my body and mind screaming at me that I need to eat it. I wish this is how it always was, not under any illusions that its not all down to MJ.

Yes I’ve had 2 doses already.
