@Blondeshavemorefun strangely enough I know just what you mean, but I had it pre mounjaro days and I’ve forgotten what the cause was so I’m not going to be of any help to you. Sorry. I do hope it’s gone by tomorrow though.

Its almost mid-day where I am and I’m just about to get ready for my eldest grandsons high school graduation. It was his sisters turn last year and in just a few short months he’ll be 1000’s of miles away at Uni just like her. Where do the years go?

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/05/2025 23:58

@PoemsForTea that’s a lb a week. Normal and what I lose some weeks / so not sure why you feel bad

@Timetofindme sorry been the same few pounds on and off and finding higher doses making you ill

@NippyNinjaCrab she was just so lovely and to begin with I thought Hira was a man

exciting having a second viewing - for the perfect garden for veggies and knob dog

I don't feel bad - I am happy! I just mean I have nothing to post about lol

Weepixie · 29/05/2025 09:38

Does anyone else have two squares of very dark chocolate per day and if so does it taste wonderful? I’ve eaten it for years under instruction from my Dr but since Mounjaro and a complete absence of other chocolate and sweeties it is absolutely delicious rather than just being nice.

MabelSpan · 29/05/2025 10:22

@NippyNinjaCrab Oh that sounds wonderful! House Martins are fab, I wish I had some. I really, really hope you get it😊
Having an area that can be sectioned off for veg would be great, though if your dogs are anything like mine were, they would go into the greenhouse and pick the cucumbers and tomatoes straight off the plants, it was cute to watch though. What I would give to have them back, doing that again😊

Ithinkimrincewind · 29/05/2025 10:38

Hi I'm still here from August too. It's good to read everyone's stories and stay motivated. Staying at just below what I originally planned to weigh, slowly moving down the doses. Am on holiday at the moment but when I get home I'll be going down to 5 for a pen or 2 and then dropping again hopefully

I like dark chocolate @Weepixie but wouldn't eat it daily as I’m a savoury person and hence would eat a packet of crisps daily. Enjoy graduation

hi @Ithinkimrincewind great you are at goal and decreasing slowly - a month a pen or what ?

NippyNinjaCrab · 29/05/2025 11:59

@Weepixie I love dark chocolate, I always have some in. Forest Feast do amazing dark chocolate covered almonds. Addictive.
@MabelSpan aw i know you would, they are so funny aren't they. I just caught the young man running out the back door with my tangle teaser brush, hes such a comic. He was a year old yesterday, I met my friend and her 3 dogs and we had a lovely walk. She has his sister. Xx

I get so annoyed with sizes! Size 14 jeans are far too big. Size 12 are okay in the light colour of one style and the dark pair are basically cutting my bloody intestines in half! Wtf is that all about. Its really pissed me off today. If I go to 10st 7lbs I would be comfortable but only after holiday. I hate being between sizes.

Well so far I've done 2 x 7.5 but tbf that wasn't the original plan but when I ordered a 7.5 and a 5 I got 2x 7.5 😆
So when I get home I'll try and 5 and see how that goes. I'm beginning to actually accept what I see in the mirror is real and feel more comfortable taking up space if you know what I mean? As opposed to trying to hide myself behind anything. So really if I end up being on mj long term then I'll need to find a way because the difference in how I feel health wise is so good I can't and won't go back.

So annoying! I got a size 8 in M&S so then ordered a pair from Vinted..size 8 and £3.50, plus p&p ..they don't fit! So now I have ordered a size 10 in same style Will probably try sell size 8 on Vinted!

Azuresky68 · 29/05/2025 16:06

How nice that people have checked in to say hi...so there are still a lot of us around. I will probably do a shout out every once in a while, especially in August xx

I haven’t come across the chocolates you mentioned, we really only get the big commercial brands here 🙄. But I do love a niche chocolate and I’ll keep my eye open for the one you mentioned next time I’m in the Uk. I really only started on dark chocolate when my Dr said I had to have two squares a day, it’s a thing seemingly, and I usually have 90 percent but today I had a 78 percent instead. I can’t say it’s sweet cos it’s not, but it is creamier/smoother than the 90.

I like dark chocolate but wouldn't eat it daily as I’m a savoury person and hence would eat a packet of crisps daily. Enjoy graduation

I like a Dorito and if I do have crisps, I very rarely do, I like them slapped between 2 slices of white bread spread with salad cream. You can’t beat it.

And the graduation was great, thank you. I cried, this boy is the one one who answered the door to me when he could barely reach the handle and when he saw it was me, he said you can’t come in then shut the door in my face. 🤣🤣 So I went home because I knew he wanted one on one with his mummy who was the only person he claimed to love for about a year. He’s our gentle giant and I don’t know where the years have gone.

it’s lovely to see so many of our original posters. 💐

So annoying. You simply cannot trust Marks & Spencer's sizing to be consistent. I bought 2 pairs (one black, one blue) of their Carrot style jeans in a size 8. The blue pair are nearly 2 inches bigger on the waist than the black pair, which I think constitutes a while dress size bigger?

Azuresky68 · 29/05/2025 18:29

Salty V Sweet 😋 chocolate covered pretzels combine both but have you seen the calories in a bag!!

NippyNinjaCrab · 29/05/2025 18:38

Love a wee piece n crisps with salad cream @Weepixie

I'm probably going to sell the jeans im annoyed because I just took the tags off this morning ffs! Its my belly that's the culprit. Xxx

Shame about my boobs! I am hoping I measured them wrong. I didn't buy new bras just got bra extender straps when I crept up to 11 stone from 9 stone 4. My bras seem to fit OK and I got most of them from an independant shop that is fabulous at measuring.
Now 8 stone 12 and size 8/10
Not meaning to brag by the way but who else can I share this with?
My fella always insisted he hadn't noticed my weight gain at all but at the weekend he said he was proud of me for sticking with it.

So annoying I agree..brand new M&S jeans going for around £5 on Vinted...great for buyers but not for sellers.

poppym12 · 29/05/2025 20:34

Has anyone had a thorough eye exam since being on Mounjaro for a while?

I had one yesterday and the optometrist was concerned about some new spots showing on the photos of the back of my eye balls. He asked me a couple of times if I was diabetic or if I suffered from diabetes type symptoms. No diabetes or symptoms. I was a bit shocked so never thought to mention the Glp-1.

I'm hoping it's just a coincidence.

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/05/2025 21:12

Happy birthday to knob dog @NippyNinjaCrab

i have Jean envy. Would love 14 to be too big. I’m squeezing into them but can’t breathe or move 😂 and if I farted would blow a hole in them - so still really a 16 or maybe a 15

def do a roll call in aug 😄

brag away. You deserve it

@poppym12yes every 6mths due to contacts and in my paid plan as such so had 2 in 8/9mths of mj and no issues

maybe ring them up and just mention you are on it and see what they say

@Ithinkimrincewind hey cocked up

this is why I’m wary about buying off Vinted incase they don’t fit

prefer Temu. I’ve got well into them and like their clothes and if too big /small I just return easily

8 @Azuresky68. I’m double you in a 16

@poppym12 I have regular eye checks and it was my optician who first picked up on my pre-diabetes did to fluctuations in my pres option.

I suspect it’s your good luck these spots have been found now and that if you weren’t on Mounjaro you’d have already been at the Drs to say you had certain symptoms, weren’t feeling well, and that he’d have queried diabetes to rule it in or out.

poppym12 · 30/05/2025 08:44

Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun and @Weepixie. My last eye test was in October (I starred Mounjaro in August) and nothing was picked up then, eyes were healthy.

Maybe it's age related as everything else seems to be these days.

Azuresky68 · 30/05/2025 08:58

@Blondeshavemorefun congratulations on 2 pounds..amazing work!! You must be so happy 😊 The battle is nearly over!!

Azuresky68 · 30/05/2025 09:19

Good morning. On Hira's advice I jabbed yesterday ..well she suggested every 5 days but it was 6th day as I was out of a pen until yesterday's delivery.
Weighed in at 8 stone 9 pounds (24.4 BMI) so now only 2 pounds to get to my preferred weight.
For any slow losers or people stalling, don't give up. It's taken me since January to lose 12 pounds..so roughly half a pound a week. But I have enjoyed my lifestyle. If it hadn't been for MJ I would have probably gained a stone.

My daughter's wedding is next Saturday so it would be great to lose another pound by then.

Then I am away for 3 weeks so will probably gain a bit as I do like a drink on holiday...we will see!
