March 2025 Starters thread 4

[TheSpoonyNavyReader]

New thread for all of us.

Thank you for allowing me to rant, share our ups and downs. Our group blows my mind of how we are so supportive of each other.

Weigh day today and a pound off for me bringing my weight loss to 10 pounds in just under 5 weeks. I seem to have settled at "only" losing a pound a week now which I know is healthy but I thought with 3-5 stone to lose I'd have lost a bit more tbh. At least I don't dread rh scales anymore like on previous "diets" as I feel I'll be losing each week hopefully and MJ is so much easier inside my head!

Im barely eating breakfast or lunch the past few days and only really having a main meal in the evening as I'm not hungry in the day. Ive just been having a few spoons of soup for lunch or a few slices of ham or chicken.

Looking forward to upping my dose to 3.75 on Friday

Hi all! So inspired by everyone's progress and the support in this community!

I've watched the threads for March starters but not commented so far since I'm a coward and had hard time dealing with the fear that WLIs will do nothing for me (and a bit of shame that maybe I don't have that much to loose compared to some, so perhaps I shouldn't be using the jabs at all). Weird thing the brain is.

SW 13 st 3 lbs
CW 12 st 1 lb
GW 10 st 10 lbs

Did my 8th jab yesterday (0.5mg, I'm on Wegovy), so lost 11lbs in 7 weeks! Doesn't feel like a lot but I can see it in my face and waist already.

No food noise and no side effects other than a bit of constipation - but all in all, i decided to risk it and ask my provider to stick to 0.5mg for another month. Ideally, I would like to ride on it for as long as I can to increase my chances of coming off of it in the future successfully. Fingers crossed it won't stop working in the next month

Wat is NSV pls
wk 4 of 2.5 no SE 11lb loss
bit down wk 3 diff scales said put 2 on !
bit disappointed

@Sal64 Non scale victory. Like being able to fit into an old dress.

I don't think you can compare weight across scales very easily, you'll just need to take new scale weight as the new base and track from there. I apparently lost 6lb overnight once when changing scales - obvs not very likely!

And hi, @LilyLondon 11lb in 7 weeks is fab!

I don’t know if this is side effects from the jab or from what I had for tea last night (chicken and veg fajita mix out of the freezer) but since midnight I’ve had terrible stomach cramps and a touch of diarrhoea. In the last half hour I just had really bad nausea to the point I started feeling that dizzy, hot and clammy feeling you get just before you barf (I didn’t though). I don’t know what to do to feel better 😅

Morning all!!
start date 3/3

weighed in at 16st 4lbs / height 5ft 10- BMI 32.7 (obese) wearing size 16/18
now at 23/4 - 14st 8lbs bmi 29.3 (overweight)
Into my size 14s
loss of 24lbs so far which I’m pretty happy with.
minimal side effects other than some constipation which has stopped now.
and major appetite suppression which is still there but I’m powering through !
off on holiday next week and I feel so much better.
im pretty tall so I’m always quite heavy and I feel so much better already in myself.

Hoping to get to around 12st10 - 13stone,BMI checked says minimal of 9st and I would be a head on a rake at that light with my build 🤣🤣

my weird thing that has happened though is that for some unknown reason my already HUGE 36G boobs have grown a cup size and I’m bursting out of everything, despite being slimmer everywhere else??? Why is this 🤣🤯🤯🤯

@AintNobodyHereButUsChickens I've heard people saying that Pepto Bismol is really good for for the nausea etc. Watch out for prices though, I think the manufacturers have cottoned onto WLI users relying on this and have hoiked the prices up!!

Sorry you’re feeling 🤢 have you got some ginger/lemon tea you can sip on? I take these whenever I’m very nauseous, you put them under your top lip so you don’t have to digest them as such/risk vomiting them back up…

Week 6
SW 201lbs
CW 185lbs
GW 160lbs

at one point during the week I was down to 183 lbs but it has been a funny week. I reacted very badly to an Indian takeaway and once over that ate more carbs than I usually do for an Easter meal. Just didn’t my second jab for 5mg, so I’ll see how this week goes. Last week ended up being an overall 2lbs loss.

is the consensus an open pen doesn’t need to be kept in the fridge? I am travelling for 7 days from Saturday..

I have not my pen in the fridge once open.

As long as it does not go over 30 degrees.

I had exactly this last week. I was at work, all fine, standing talking to a colleague then went lightheaded. Had to sit down. Then very hot, flushed, dizzy and nauseous. It was on and off til Monday, and I had periodically blocked ears. No idea if MJ ir a virus/ear problem

@AintNobodyHereButUsChickens
I am finding spicy food has this effect on me… post fajita chicken was not very happy for me either 🤣🐥

@Fatmumslim01
Have you tracked your calories? If only eating one meal you may not be eating enough…?

Ooh thanks I’ll give that a go!

I did a comparison on MeThreeSixty earlier today. Even though the scales haven't shown much movement lately, the pics don't lie!

I sent DH to the shop for Pepto Bismol on his way home from work, I just had some so fingers crossed it works! I’ve been so miserable today 🥲

Ooh I just looked that up, downloading it now!

Hope it works for you @AintNobodyHereButUsChickens 🤞

Hi loves

Just checking in, D3 of 0.9ml of the 2.5mg dose and the past two days have been a struggle. Headache and nausea yesterday and today fatigue and nausea so I had to call in sick to sleep.

I take the same as another poster for nausea which helps and I’ve been using it to make sure I’m eating something regularly. Otherwise I’ll have a ginger drink which helps.

I can’t wait for bedtime, hoping I feel better tomorrow as I have a hospital appointment to have a camera up my pee hole which I’m not looking forward to 🤣

Thinking of moving my jab day back slowly so the side effects peak over the weekends

Oodie, slippers and heating is on!🥶🤣

@CallMeStella hope you get a good night's sleep and all goes well with the procedure tomorrow!

I decided to go for 5mg for my injection today so we will see what the week holds.

We’re in the same boat, even when I’m feeling nauseous or not hungry, binge food is constantly on my mind especially this time of night, it’s a massive struggle. I’ve always binged to give myself a sugar hit when I’m feeling absolutely awful health wise, so having SE from MJ makes the situation harder.

Well done for reaching for healthy options! 💪🏼 They say you can ride the urge to binge but that never works for me cos it never goes away 😩

Thanks lovely!

Days 2 and 3 seems to be worst with SE when increasing so get ready just in case but I’m hoping you’ll be fine 🙏🏼 let us know how you get on ☺️

@GameOfJones let us know how 5mg goes. I definitely feel ready to move up but I'm doing 3.75 this Fri and next Fri as got a big event next weekend and want to minimise SE hence not jumping up to 5mg. Then if all goes well after 2 weeks on 3.75 I'll up to 5mg. DH thinks I should just go for 5 straight off the bat but he's always been more of a gambler than me 😂

Give hubby a jab and he might change his mind 🤣
