April 2025 Mounjaro Starters - Thread 4!

[QS90]

I have the worst mental block with the spelling of this medication!! Almost did it wrong again but THINK it's correct now. Obviously 3rd time's the charm!!

Great work / losses / NSVs so far everyone!

I’ve sent you a message x

So weigh day and jab tonight for me, only a small loss this week 0.7kg but that’s ok as I’m building myself back up to 5mg after holiday going to take 5mg tonight. I read I should drop down after 2 weeks off so went to 2.5mg didn’t feel any effects hardly then the same for 3.75mg so doing 5mg this evening and will stick with that on my next pen as I’ve not done a whole pen of 5mg yet

I think the Facebook groups shutting down isn't just an oushk problem, it's mounjaro wide. Yes they've lost a few but I've been in lots of MJ Facebook groups and multiple ones have just disappeared. The mango thing is an attempt to avoid whatever filters are flagging things up to FB. Another non oushk group I'm in does the same

45 clicks of the 5ml pen x

Yes Asda do use Zava - that's how I found Zava tbh and found going to them directly was cheaper than via Asda when I started. I'm planning to stay with them if I can tbh because I agree with @wordywitch that swapping and changing seems a pain in the arse 🤭

I've got a code for them too so if anyone else wants it let me know 😉

Thank you for the tip on the existing customer discount code @Knakeredd I'll definitely be looking into that for my next pen.

Oh I’m definitely getting questions. Also it’s hard being enthusiastic when they are drinking so much! I’m having to remind myself to stay positive and fun even though I’m knackered and fed up of stopping at a bar every 30 minutes while they have another G&T! It’s taken us two hours to get home (30 minutes normally)
Honestly here’s a question for people who don’t drink … how do you cope with boozy friends? Do you slap a smile on your face and let them carry on? I’m trying so hard not to be the fun police ☹️

Jab & weigh day!

Wk10, D1 2nd injection of 3.75. 2lbs down so happy with progress. Have found I’ve been able to eat a bit more the last few weeks but food noise still gone and suppression is good. I just don’t get as full so quickly. Still on 2 meals a day.

Total loss 2 st 6lbs (34lbs)

I’ve been with MedExpress from the start & very happy. Never any supply issues and always delivered really quickly.
Also have a code if anyone wants one for £40 off! 😆

I am thinking of moving though as any savings would be great but also want to make sure I will be accepted & that they will do maintenance.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend! 🥰

@wordywitch I to have not swapped, I know I should try and find it cheaper I just don’t want to deal with all the photos etc again.

I currently have 4 pens in the fridge I need to get through. Does anyone know how long you can not order but still be ‘on the books’ so you don’t have to go through approval again?

was a school bake sale today I made A LOT 60 brownies and about 150 cupcakes and normally when I’m baking for something I can not resist the brownie but I just didn’t fancy any this time.

@Pepperwaggytail i just drink tonic or actually have G&T..as alcohol goes it's about as low cal as you can get and if you don't have so many you end up with a kebab and chips at the end of the night, I don't think it does any harm once in a while

I don’t drink and must admit to finding it very amusing to hear their unfiltered opinions and comments about life and people!!!! They don’t remember what they have said but I do!!!!

checking in.

11kg lost over 6 weeks.

chuffed to be ‘overweight’ instead of obese.

I’ve had to go really slow on dosing as seem to be sensitive to side effects. Holding at 3.75 as getting a lot of belching, reflux, mild nausea and constipation in the evening.

Today’s jab is done, I’ve gone back up to 5mg probably faster than I’m supposed to but I’ve done it now, let’s hope any side effects don’t get me to badly 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Nsv : the gorgeous silk top which generous friends gave me for my 50th a few years ago fitted for the first time today.

I’m back from a week away. Was very mindful of food but drank way more than I should have 😬. However the scales have stayed the same so I’m super pleased about that 😊
I’ve got a 5mg pen but am just going to continue on 2.5 for now.

So that’s 30 clicks?

You are right - I have had 1-2 drinks each day but that’s enough for me. They are going home tomorrow and my husband is flying out to join me, so today is our last day. I love them all dearly but I’ll be glad to get back to normal without worrying I’m spoiling their holiday. I’m not super sociable anyway and need to have time alone to recharge my batteries every day.
DH will be delighted when he gets here the fridge is full of food and wine! 😂

Staying the same is impressive! Yes, 30 clicks for a half dose 😊

Well done, I managed to stay the same on my holiday to vegas as well 2 weeks of drinking way more than I should and eating more and differently to how I have been but all
the walking did me huge favours. I’ve had a slow start since I got back but I did have 2 weeks off Mounjaro in the end so that’s probably why but I’m back up to 5mg now and I’m hopeful that will kick start things a bit quicker again

Hi, does anyone know how many ml is 3.75 from a 5ml pen?

Hi all - I'm having a wobble today.

On Monday I weighed 15st 8.5lb and then I didn't weigh again until yesterday (jab day and it was 15st 9.5lb (-1lb loss on from last week and officially lost a stone since starting MJ) but I weighed again today and it's up to 15st 10.5lb again. I'm trying not to weigh too often but I was hoping it would have gone back down to 8.5lb today but it went the other way.

I don't know why and I feel bloated and it's just making me feel a bit crap. Anyone else have random gains? It can't be actual fat gain because I've still been in a calorie deficit. Although this week I have eaten on the higher end and over a few times due to my husband's birthday.

Any tips on what to do to get rid of the bloat / water retention??

Are you coming up to your time of the month?
If not, drink lots of water, keep going, weight fluctuates. (easy to say, I also wobble when I see the scales going the wrong way, so I do know how horrible it feels)

Thanks @TheNinthLock🙌. I should have jabbed when I got home but I’m feeling all out of sorts - headache/hot & cold and aching so am going to focus on better food and see how I feel before jabbing again…

I'm not coming up to my period but I think ovulation time. Don't know if that would effect it. I can't remember last cycle. I have PCOS so they're all-over the place 🙈

Definitely will focus on water and just keep on keeping on.

After having a really fat week when I felt I was waddling rather than walking, having a 'blow out' of cake at the weekend (in reality a single cupcake both days, without the icing) and then being hungry all week (damn sugar) I still lost 1.2lb!

My app tells me I'm now a quarter of the way there, IF my end goal is 10.7 stone, but still no idea what to aim for yet.

I've upped to the dizzy heights of 3mg as I thought the effects were waning a bit, and plan to stick with this for June. Trouble is, I'll have lots left of my 5mg pen and I'm now arguing with myself over whether I'll be binning it or using it past the 30 day limit. Currently thinking I'll be happy to go to 35 days for 6 doses but longer than that is probably pushing it. Hate waste but really, the £££ spent on this is so worth it, roughly £250 to lose one and a half stone?! It's a small price really and I shouldn't be looking at it as 'a waste'.

Ps What's all this about smooth elbows on this miracle drug? (C'mon, everyone feel your elbows!). Off to Google it ....
