Mounjaro Feb 2025 starters (thread 6!)…

[Mounjaroday]

Welcome one and all to our latest thread!

So much support and encouragement on here. Can’t wait to hear everyone’s continued achievements and NSVs.

Congratulations to everyone who has reached their goal and starting maintenance, and all the warriors still trekking on.

I still have a couple of stone to go. Feeling motivated and ready to go!

We can do this!

I relate to the boredom thing. A few weeks ago I increased my calories by 100/200 per day just to have a bit more food. I had no desire for any of my old favourite snacks but some extra carbs (mostly white rice and bread) gave me a bit of a boost. White carbs are also supposed to be more beneficial for helping reset set points but I can't remember exactly why.

Yesterday morning I felt like I had almost no mounjaro in my system. It was really strange and even some old food noise for looking at what new foods are for sale raised its ugly head. It passed, fortunately. Anyone else had this?

Name changed from keys and secrets.

Has anyone ordered with Numan and been charged more than the order value? They’ve charged my card more than I’m sure the order was for but their website nor any emails actually show the order details with pricing.

thanks for the new thread.
tonight is Jab 14.
13kgs down.
more than half way to goal!
In fact I have 7 to 10 kgs to GW.
(Cannot imagine more than 3kgs less so will have to see what looks good when I get there!!)

I am moving up to 7.5 next week. Last week of the 5 pen today. I shall be using the golden dose.

Morning @Ke11
I also need to consider which pharmacy is best to maintain with as after this week I should have reached a healthy BMI - ie less than 25.

let us know where you end up and what turns up in your research.

to date I’ve used pharmacy2u and zava.

Not sure they are known for their maintenance programmes.

Just an update to this but my order has already been dispatched. So if anyone is looking to switch provider, this was extremely fast! From order to dispatch in less than 24 hours.

Weigh/jab day- didn't lose anything this week, which I was expecting after my indulgent weekend (got my period yesterday too). Fine with it, I'm still at my first GW.

SW 107.8kg
CS 88kg
GW 85kg

Have a good week all!

Weigh/jab day

SW pre - MJ 208lb
MJ SW - 187lb
CW - 167lb
GW - 147lb ish

Lost about 1.5lb this week, period has just finished so happy with that. First 7.5mg dose today, took 6.25mg last week but also had covid so not if my lack of appetite was the jab or the illness but no other side effects so have gone up.

20lb to goal weight, BMI currently around 24/25.

NSV yesterday I went out in bike shorts! And I didn’t care that my legs still have cellulite, I’m not hiding them away anymore!

Hey everyone

Still slow going here - barely lost anything on 7.5 so went up to 10, have to say it has really knocked me out, was exhausted over the weekend.

Enjoying rediscovering my wardrobe - discovered today that I can fit back into one of my very favourite dresses from around 10 years ago, will take it to the dry cleaners

One of the things that is really obvious going through my smaller clothing is just how much vanity sizing there has been - there are lots of size 16s in there that I still can't get into but I can get into 12-14s in today's sizes

Just checking in... thank you for the new thread!

Not had that, but I was interested to note that I did some price comparison and they are so expensive, I actually hit tne “cancel medication” button. It came back almost immediately asking my reason for cancellation and when I clicked “too expensive/found another provider” it automatically gave me a discount (I think it was 15/20%, would have to check credit card from last month. Good to know, but also irritating that I’ve been effectively paying over the odds with them for 5 months now.

Is there a point where your initial buzz at losing weight wears off? Or is there a psychological thing where you can't really see it? This second it doesn't look or feel like I've lost anything and I'm still 16.5 stone. Imagine my scales were fucked this whole time 😂

Placemaking - thanks for the new thread!

Good morning all you warriors.

W19D1 💤
SW 103.9kg / 16.4 stone
CW 81.4kg / 12.8 stone

1.6kg / 3.5lb loss this week which I’m surprised by. It was a big weekend of food and drink but I probably walked 20.000+ steps each day so that’s probably the difference. Wondering if I will see the 70kgs by next week.

NSV: those size 12 jeans I bought, I can now just about do up! Have to lie on the bed to get the zip up, and I can barely breathe, but they’re on and I’m going to show off my little bottom all day!

Onwards and downwards!

Hello All, thanks for new thread.

I've been feeling really low the last few days. I think some of it has to do with the weightloss slowing down. I think in May I only lost about 6lb. Now I'm writing it it's not that bad.
Anyway yesterday culminated in feeling overwhelmed at work, have soooo much on and someone tried to give me one more job, then a care leaver thanked me for doing my job and I nearly ended up in tears! My usual pi me up would be food, so I managed not to do that and have to say this felt like my first real test, of feeling all my feelings and not stuffing them down with food. Had a nice tea, went for a walk and got over myself. An achievement I think.
I'm on 7.5mg, took my third jab on saturday, moved supplier to simple online pharmacy on Friday, which was just photos and got my delivery on Saturday! I ordered 10mg, but my first dose will be 7.5 as I'm away in Norfolk when I start it.
Feeling perkier today. Sorry it was a long one 🤣

Amazing! I tried a pair of size 12s yesterday, they DO button up, but definitely a squeeze and not comfortable enough to wear yet! Shouldn't be long, though.

TMI update:

I was a day late in taking my week 14 jab due to an all day / evening work event. Thought I'd wait until the next day as I don't think it's advised to jab whilst you've got a stomach full of wine 😂

I went back to my regular day for week 15, so a day early, and also decided to up my dose from 2.9mg to 3.33mg. Well, 3 days later I had the most painful cramps and a fun day of intense diarrhoea like I can't ever remember having in my life... Think maybe I've found my dosing limit!

This is my first negative side effect of MJ, been taking it really slowly with dosing up and never had any issues before apart from a bit of thirst and occasional mild constipation.

I have lost a kilo this week, though 😂😂

Oh forgot to say - I was away for May half term and I don't know if this is a NSV as such but I clearly should have tried on my swimming costume beforehand as I had a couple of wardrobe malfunctions on water slides 😅

I have been trying not to buy new clothing as I have so much older smaller clothes but I will need a new bathers for the summer..

Week 18 dose for me, just putting it here to keep myself accountable!

SW 89.2kg (14 stone 0) BMI 28.5
CW 73.1kg (11 stone 7) BMI 23.3
GW 69.2kg (10 stone 12) BMI 22.1

Currently on 5mg, but have been taking extra 10 clicks to get me closer to 6mg in preparation for going up. I had bought the 7.5mg pen ages ago, as it was auto sent to me, then I requested to go back down to 5mg. Not sure I’m going to go any higher than about 6mg tho, as still losing weight and I don’t have far to go until I’m done, probably reach my goal early July at this rate. I could stop now, but I’d like to get closer to my ideal weight and give myself that “buffer” before I get to the tricky task of how to maintain. Unsure whether to try and go cold turkey or stay on MJ. I certainly can’t stay on this dosage as will be consistently losing- most recent week lost 1kg (over 2 lbs). Maybe I’ll start weaning myself down soon and slow down the weight loss. Let’s see. It’s all an adventure!

First 7.5mg dose yesterday is kicking my bum a bit. Absolutely no desire to eat, have managed half a protein yogurt this morning. Slight headache and nausea. Hoping things will settle down again but if not will cycle back at 6.25 as didn’t have any side effects like this.

You've done amazing for 18 weeks!! I have similar SW and goal to you, still got 8kgs to lose at 15 weeks. But it's going down slow and steady.

I've reached another plateau. Same weight for 10 days. Originally was okay with a maintain after a weekend away, but been back a week and eating very little but no change on the scales.

SW - 21st 5lbs (BMI 44.3)
CW - 18st 4.5lbs (BMI 38)
Goal - not set

I'm on my 10th week of 7.5mg and think it may be time to move up to 10mg. No food noise and no real desire to eat, but I can eat - if that makes sense? I was a bit like this on 5mg which is why I moved up aftr 4 weeks.

At least I do have a NSV to keep me going - FINALLY I've dropped a size in trousers.

Any tips?

Oh I think it might be time to buy smaller trousers.
Was on the school run, put my phone in my pocket and my trousers went "too heavy, final straw, byyeeeee". Managed to grab them but I definitely flashed my pants to the people behind me.

Embarrassing and only myself to blame.

@TheYouYouAre thanks. Probably almost too fast weight loss TBH, which is why I held off on the 7.5mg pen. I have worked super hard as well, loads of steps walking in a weighted vest and started Couch to 5K again once I’d lost the first stone. Also started kettlebell workouts at home, even tho I’m hopeless and don’t know what I’m doing!

Evening everyone

I’ve lost my mojo! Have lost nothing in two weeks and struggling to stay within my calories as a result.

I don’t know if 2.5 has stopped working for me, been on it since 27/2 but I never get past this point with weight loss.

I’ve ordered a 5ml pen and going to try 3.75ml this weekend and hopefully get going again, not even half way to goal.

Hope you are all doing really well, onwards and downwards

20/02/2025 Starting weight 16.9
28/05/2025current weight 13.7
goal weight 12.7

Well done to everyone such amazing weight losses and NSV,
I haven’t lost much on the 7.5 pen so I switched providers to Oushk and am going to start 10mg on Friday. I’m keeping everything crossed I don’t have any side affects going this high,
