Late April - early May 2025 starters

[wlinewbie0425]

I will be starting Mounjaro at the end of this week. The current April thread are mostly discussing the move onto their second 4 weeks so thought I would start a thread for those of us right at the beginning.

Prescription has been approved! Now frantically checking for delivery updates!

Lol @Cravingpotatoes that was me yesterday! Hope it's quick for you!

@MsRicoletti glad it's going well! You're a day ahead of me so I'm using you as my guinea pig to see what's to come 😂

I mentioned earlier that i have been burping a lot which is so unlike me.
I didnt mention that ive also had a couple of stints of feeling really cold.
Other than that pretty good so far. Took my first jab Saturday night.

I've been feeling really similar! (Took my first dose yesterday)

Feeling cold, bit spaced out... and the burping 🤣

I felt pretty nauseous this morning and couldn't even finish my usual cup of coffee... Needed to eat something to ward off the nausea... Definitely getting flashbacks to what it was like for me during pregnancy! 🤢

Well done Chunky. Sorry your family are unsupportive of your weight!

You can get small sharps bins from Amazon/local pharmacy, or just keep them in a Tupperware tub and ask at the pharmacy.

yes! Very similar to early weeks of pregnancy. urgh, I don’t miss those days of feeling just a bit sick all the time.

ive just wandered around the shops looking for something nice to eat for tea.. and i didnt fancy anything.

Very surreal. I will generally eat anything at any given moment. I can’t work out if it’s placebo effect, as I’ve only had around 24 hours of MJ, but im just going with it 🤷🏻‍♀️

im going to eat some chicken and roast veg so ive had some something more than a yoghurt all day.

I’m hoping this is the start of good things to come for me having a more appropriate relationship with food!

What day is everyone weighing on?

Saturday first thing for me like last week. Jab Saturday evening.

I’m going to weigh myself on Tuesday morning. Day of my next dose.

After so much internal debate with myself I ordered online over the bank holiday with Boots, and did my first injection today before I chickened out. Only thing is I slightly messed up as I turned the dial and didn’t see the number 1 for ages but realised I wasn’t looking in the right place if that makes sense. So had to turn it back until I saw 1, hopefully that will be okay. Seemed to go in fine and the dosage thing went from 1 back to 0 once I’d injected it.

Hoping to lose a lot on this, I really need to. I’m hoping it quietens down the food ‘noise’. How soon did people start to notice a difference in hunger etc? Good luck to all!

Can I join? My first pen is in my fridge as I’m currently in sunny Cyprus!

Home on Sunday and do my first jab on Monday 28th. I’ll be the third person to start this journey where I work so I’m lucky to have support. I’ve read lots on here and this helped me decide to go ahead and order.

May I join you?
I’ve just applied online for mounjaro, and the process seemed quite difficult, with bad web design and stupid loopy errors. I’m amazed I persevered. Said 5 mins took 65.
im 65, 5ft 7 and 16st,11. I have chronic, severe back pain. I’ve acted today because I saw a consultant about my back. He says I have arthritis , but can’t be helped by him. I need to make lifestyle changes. And as he wittered on about Pilates and yoga, I did sincerely wish that he will one day experience excruciating pain that severely limits mobility, and that someone then hands him a leaflet about yoga and the benefits of positive thinking. But if all I’m getting is a leaflet then I’m working the shit out of it. I know that my only hope is losing loads of weight. I swim a lot, and that has had zero impact on my weight, altho maybe without it I’d be even bigger.
Already picked up loads of tips. I’m starting as soon as I get it, telling no one except Dh, taking at night. First target is under 16 stone. Then I’ll find a Pilates class. Until it comes, I’m eating as if I’ve started already, I just can’t sink back into the sofa with another biscuit. So tonight I’ve had a few spoonfuls of tuna and an avocado salad, no dressing.

Hi, can I join too please? First dose today after having had it in the fridge for a few days. Kept making excuses, so feels good to have started. I took it at 11, and so far just very thirsty.
SW 13st 2
GW 10st7
I've been yoyoing up and down by about a stone for years. And I think about food constantly. A very emotional eater, and I'm worried I'm passing that on to my kids. I'm hoping to use this as an opportunity to reward or comfort myself in different ways, rather than food or wine.

Hey!
Would love to join if that’s okay.
I’ve just done my second jab today and hopeful to have a good week.

I lost 6lbs in my first week and really noticed the loss of food noise from days 2-5. Didn’t have any side affects last week luckily and hoping for the same this week!

Hi @MsSampson we are SW and GW twins. I'm 45, 5ft 6.5 - how about you?

Welcome new joiners 😊

Everyday, can’t resist 🤦‍♀️Down 4 pounds since Sunday

Sounds like you've made a great start! Welcome to the group!

Welcome @Flowerchild547 @MsSampson @autumnnightsaredrawingin @Nearlyhadenough 😊

I am half an inch shorter and one year older! Nice to have a weight loss twin

Influx of people joining. Welcome to you all.

May I ask, if you’re counting calories roughly, what would be a good aim? I’m 5’7 tall and weigh just over 20st 😬.

Good luck everyone! Please can I join? I'm waiting for my application to be processed. I need this so badly.

Best plan is to find a site that will calculate your TDEE and minus 500 off that for your weight loss calories 😊
