What I Ate Today on Mounjaro - back for round 3!

[IReallyNeedThisToWork]

With only a tiny bit of space left on the last thread, here’s a new one!

For accountability, inspiration and support, not judgement!

@IReallyNeedThisToWork do you have eggs for breakfast every day? How do you find time?

W2, D1, 1.25mg

B - banana

L - smashed avocado on sourdough toast with strawberries, tomatoes and feta on top (in a garden centre- delicious!)

D - chicken caeser salad

Protein water drink, latte with oat milk.

W21, D4, 7,5mg

B - nothing
L - prawn salad and a few strawberries
D - pork steak, roast potatoes, roast broccoli and apple sauce

No snacks, tonnes of water, supplements, sparkling water and a can of Pepsi max

@Fatmumslim01 I do indeed! Totally addicted to this combo at the moment and miss it so much if I don't have it!

Time wise - I’m self employed and work more in the evenings/weekends so not really an issue but even where I was employed and leaving the house at 7.15 daily, I got up in time to poach eggs! I LOVE breakfast and the idea of nothing or fruit or yoghurt or makes me feel really upset! 😂

Yesterday

B - black coffee

L - prawn salad

D - homemade cheeseburger topped with lettuce and onions with some oven chips

Week 13 - 5mg

B - a latte

L - took DDs to McDonalds as an end of half term treat. I had a fillet of fish, some chicken nuggets and a diet coke (600 cals)

D - chicken with roasted courgettes, tomatoes, olives, peppers and onions and a chunk of focaccia. Can of Pepsi Max.

No snacks, roughly 1300 calories and over 5 miles walked.

That’s half the job, isn’t it? Finding healthy foods that you absolutely love.. 🙂

@IReallyNeedThisToWork how are you finding 12.5? I've been on 10mg for a while now and it's working well but tempted to go up a dose as weight loss is slowing now.

In the spirit of joining in as I've asked a question

Breakfast - Vanilla protein drink
Lunch - Chicken Fajita soup (very filling lots of beans and cauliflower rice) with 25g sweet chilli rice crackers
Dinner - 3x heck chicken chipolatas with mash, tenderstem broccoli and gravy

1x can of Fanta zero, 1 22g pack of fridge raiders, 80g pineapple and a mini milk lolly, electrolytes and loads of ice water.

I think that sounds like loads but I didn't finish my lunch or dinner and even if I did it was under 1000kcal so well within my deficit.

@Fatbride I’ll be honest, I took one dose as the fifth from my previous 10mg and HATED it! It stopped my system completely and I could barely eat. I then went back to 10mg for my next two shots but wasn’t shifting any weight and was definitely wanting more food. I then calculated I could get three 11mg shots from the rest of the pen so did those and it helped the weight start shifting again but I was still feeling more snacky and thinking about food (chocolate was creeping in!). I was then 2 or 3 lbs from goal so had to decide whether to just smash it with 12.5 or plod on with the 10.

Made the decision to move up to get to goal but supplier didn’t have any in stock so am using 12.5 from a 10 pen and it been fine this time around and has done the job!

So a rather complicated and mixed story!!

I seem to have fallen into a habit of eating similar meals every day now.
I'm practically living on salmon filets, baked sweet potato and Mediterranean veg in the evenings,
I tend to have a protein yoghurt, berries and nuts for breakfast, and peanut butter in wholemeal toast and a banana for lunch.

I'm wondering if it's because I've lost interest in food a bit.

I ate a daim bar today whilst out as a felt a bit lacking in energy

Week 4 day 6 and have lost 9 pounds up to now

W21, D7, 7.5mg
B - apple
L - tuna salad with low fat mayo
D - chicken salad with coleslaw

No snacks, 4+ litres of water, supplements, can of Pepsi max

Bit of a boring salad-y day today! Will try something more exciting tomorrow!

W1 D2! 2.5mg

B - soft boiled egg, wafer thin ham, slice wholemeal toast
L - pitta, hummus, cherry tomatoes, aromat
D - 200g baked beans, 2 slice wholemeal toast

S - mini pitta and ham
Drinks - 3 x tea, water water water, large glass Chardonnay

a bit carbilicious today but it was a busy one so had to make do

@Weightlossprincess I was like that in the first month or so, often eating the same things. I vary it a bit more now but it still really depends as my suppression can be variable throughout the week and doesn't seem to follow a pattern.

What you've outlined (yoghurt, fruit, nuts, salmon, veg etc) sounds very sensible if you're not bothered about food you're at least getting some decent nutrition!

Week 3 day 1
Down 9lb do far

Breakfast - cup of rooibos tea
lunch - small portion cooked rice, tablespoon of hummus, chopped tomato all mixed up
dinner - baked potato, small scoop of tuna mayo (lite mayo), sprinkle of grated cheese and a spoonful of baked beans.

snacks - coffee with splash of milk, one bite of chocolate then realised I’ve proper gone off it!

You’re my twin - started same day, same loss!
