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!

Thanks everyone.

It was just so crazy that it was like 3 separate people that felt it was okay to talk about me like that to me!

Something must have changed recently because I had no comments at all about the weight loss and then the past week it's just been relentless. It's not a totally positive thing either. Some comments have felt genuine and nice (like a simple "you look great!"), but most of them haven't.
It felt positive at first because it's like "wow, people are noticing" and it feels good to get confirmation? validation? that you're heading in the right direction. It does not feel good now.
People are so painfully nosey and they are so insistent, trying to get all sorts of personal details out of me. How much I've lost, what I weigh now, what I weighed before, what clothes size am I... on and on. These are customers in the bakery, yeah I might see them a couple of times a week (or even less with some of them!) and make small talk but they don't actually know me.

I'm very open about all things weight loss with people I actually know but not with rude and nosey strangers I only know as "latte man" or "brioche woman".

Rant over now, promise!

Sorry this happened to you. Just be vague with them. Nosey buggers

@Zibb sorry for how people have treated you it is very rude of them and absolutely not ok for people to be like that with you. Let the haters hate although I know what we're all like and can let it get to us.

Morning all, checking in again

Sw 116.5kg
Cw 87.1kg
Loss this week 1.2kg taking my total loss to 29.4kg

My bmi is 30.1 today, by the next weigh in I should be just overweight which is insane to me.

This week has gone well, just plodding along. It's starting to get "boring" now which for me is great. Just a normal thing now to eat less, weigh each morning and see it gradually trend down.

Still finding 10mg pretty harsh, not going up for the next pen but I don't think I want to go down since I am managing and there aren't any bad side effects.

I’m so sorry @Zibb, how awful. People who are that rude are not worth thinking about!

A very exciting NSV for me- I’m engaged! It’s my second marriage, and when I went ring shopping earlier my ring size since I was last married is three sizes smaller. Obviously not as exciting as the actual engagement…. but close 😀

The Food Noise book by Michael Moseleys son is 99p on kindle today (Amazon) if anyone is interested.

Congratulations, @sweetpickle2! 🥂

Just think what an amazing time you are going to have choosing your frock now! (Shallow 😂)

But also, obviously, getting married 😍

I've increased my exercise this week and feel strangely heavy.

Last week I wasn't able to inject on Saturday as normal so done it on Sunday instead - does anyone who has done this know if you're better reverting to the normal day or staying with the new one?

Another week another weigh in. It's been a funny old week, had some absolutely devastating news and things to deal with, and then an emergency on top of it as well. Luckily the emergency situation has resolved, but coming to terms with everything else, plus having caring duties for two beings whilst this is going on etc, meant I really CBA to input new recipes I was cooking, so I haven't been food tracking. I have been eating as usual (healthy food, small portions - except a little ice cream when it those few days of 30-34c), and still weighing rice/cereal etc, so it's not like I have slipped into bad habits, or eating crap. A very mild shoulder injury, means I missed 1 body pump class and had to go a bit easy in today's.

So despite the food tracking lapse, my injury and reduced walking due to heat/injured and dying dogs my stats are

SW: 96.55
CW: 76.65
Weekly loss 0.65

Pretty pleased with the loss all things considered, and I am preTOTM which is when I usually return a bit of water and have a couple of hungry days.

Aw many congratulations @sweetpickle2!!

@PurpleCoo I’m so sorry you’re having a really tough time. Sounds like you have a lot to deal with. 💐

How exciting! Congratulations!

@PurpleCoo sorry you've had a tough week and sorry for your dog loss it's very hard. I lost my fur baby last Sept.

My update lost 0.40 this week annoying but I guess a loss is a loss ive done alot of walking this week so hope it comes off again next week!

Tangentially related to weight loss, I'm eating more eggs just now than I've ever eaten but why do they all suddenly have pale yellow tasteless yolks? I don't want to eat these 😒

Thanks @Mounjaroday @CoolLimeSheep She hasn't passed away yet. We were walking 10 mile walks a couple of weeks ago, but she has a sudden onset/rapidly declining and life ending neurological condition diagnosed on Friday last week and her time is near. She is deteriorating every day, but thankfully, still happy, alert, and not in pain. Lots of difficult decisions to make. She has been my constant, my shadow, my partner in crime/life for nearly 13 years. It was just the two of us for a long time, and she is super intelligent, so you can imagine the bond, it's almost telepathic (not in a weird ESP kind of way). We have travelled and hiked most of the country together over the years.

@usedtobeaylis You can buy eggs that specifically have a nice golden yolk

Clarence Court Burford Brown eggs! Game changer!

@PurpleCoo oh sorry. Its nice shes still with you just so hard knowing you have make that decision at some point. Youll know when its time for her to pass to rainbow bridge! That's amazing travelling the country with you.
My girl was border collie she was with me 14 years. And you always have so many happy memories with them and they get you threw so many tough times too. I have a collage tile on my wall of her.

So sorry to those of you going through tough times with ill family, or judgmental customers or any other shit life is throwing at you.
My heart goes out to you @PurpleCoo , i often joke that my old dog is my favourite child but in all honesty some days she is. Seeing them get old and close to the end is heartbreaking xx
But even in the tough times I think we (as a group) are reaching less for food as comfort and staying strong in new healthier ways. Go us!

So sorry, @PurpleCoo
It’s beyond tough to lose them. The bond is so different to anything you can have with a human, and all the more precious for that.

Also lost my boy last September @CoolLimeSheep - it still hurts.

@SpiralSister oh sorry for your loss of your boy last september i agree it really does still hurt and I agree you have so much more of a bond with them than humans.

Ooh, I’m feeling all the pet loss feelings today. I’ve had to book
my lovely black cat into vet to be put down on Mon. She’s got rare and aggressive sarcoma and has really deteriorated in the last couple of weeks. I know I’m gonna be a mess. Enjoying my last weekend with her.

@skyscrapersinging aww shes so lovely and enjoy your last weekend with her. She will leave a big imprint on your heart sending hugs to you and anyone that needs it.

@skyscrapersinging my oldest cat is 16 now. He's looking alot unkempt abit but still seem to be going strong for now. He was a fiesty kitten he's finally chilled.

Oh no everyone, such sad news from a few of you. Sending much love to all who need it. Enjoy the last times you have with your fur babies - they are so precious to us and honestly, a good death is the last loving gift you can give them - I’ve been there a few times myself and I always take comfort from the fact that it’s keeping your side of the unspoken promise you made when they first came into your life.

St Ewe's eggs are lovely -try the rich yolk ones. Ocado sell them.

Didn’t expect to be having a conversation about eggs but I’m interested now! 😂
I usually get the bog standard supermarket ones. Is it worth paying a little bit more? We easily go through a dozen a week.
