Mounjaro -10 stone or more to lose - Thread 4

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

Come and join us as we carry on with our journeys.
All welcome.

Just sneaking in on my lunchbreak, and I'm delighted to see peace has been restored. You guys are amazing, I'm loving reading your updates

Im struggling a bit today, food noise is creeping in, so I think it might be time to move up to 7.5 for my next pen.

You look fantastic!! Very normal! In a good way 😀 Cannot wait to feel that too

So close @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne, hurrah! Will you still hang out here when you make it??

Of course! It's quite a few months away still. I'm losing about 1lb a week now, so yes, it'll be a good while yet.

Regarding sleeplessness.

I've started taking Ashwagandha. It's really working for me.

I think once you are on the steady treadmill of weight loss it can be quite marginal. A week of just eating a little bit less than normal and weightloss can be greater but a week of eating just a small amount more can result in no loss at all.

@eibbed999 congratulations that’s such an achievement! I’m hoping to achieve that goal myself in the coming weeks, need to reach 15stone 8lbs!

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne you look great! I need to be 9 stone 10lbs to get to a BMI of 25! I remember being your current weight years ago and felt so normal and healthy (size 10-12) yet was obese. Stupid BMI.

Amazing @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne !

I do wonder a bit at the whole BMI thing. A 'healthy' weight is only an average.

My target is to get to a point where my weight just doesn't come up in a medical setting.

Yes, we seem to be back to normal.
🤣🤣

How long have you been on the 5mg?

Wouldn’t that be amazing. Just no anxiety when sat in the drs office waiting for it to be brought it

My target is to get to a point where my weight just doesn't come up in a medical setting

Yes, indeed.

How lovely not to have to hear "well, you've got X wrong with you because you're so overweight".

Actually, TBF I pretty much got that in reverse from my doctor yesterday.

He said "you're doing exactly the right thing to improve X because you've lost so much weight".

And no, he doesn't know about the MJ.
He's very nice, but firmly believes that people just need to eat less etc etc etc (I don't need to finish that sentence........)

Clothing sizes are bonkers. Yesterday I got tshirts from Next in a 14, trousers from Hobbs in 16 (and they are a touch on the larger size) and a dress from Primark in a 20!

One of my naturally slim friends says she buys anything from an 8 to a 12 depending on the shop.

Its crazy a friend from work is what I would class as very slim and healthy has run the London marathon and stuff and she told me she has a BMI of 26.

i genuinely have no idea where I want to be, I'm about 5ft 10 so a BMI 24.1 is 11st 9lb which would be exactly 10st down. I have no idea how that would look on my body though as I probably haven't been that weight since I was 12!! I'm almost at the weight I was at my booking appointment for my first child at the end of 2013 as I remember the midwife telling me I could only be midwife led if I kept my BMI under 35 throughout the pregnancy and it was 33.4, its currently 33.8.

For everyone, it is really unfortunate that you thread is being derailed in such a negative way. I’d recommend that no one engages further - responding only fuels the disruption. If the behavior continues, a better approach might be to report it to MN so it can be handled and your thread can stay the supportive, positive space it has always been 💗

@lilacbreeze it might be worth taking a moment to reflect on what’s going on in your life that this kind of interaction feels fulfilling. Whatever it is, it’s likely to catch up with you in the long run, and I genuinely hope you find a healthier outlet soon.

I agree that not engaging is the way forward. Thank you so much for finding this.

WOOOOWWW!!! You look fabulous!
Is that a thigh gap I see 😉😉😉

How do you feel physically and mentally now? And in comparison to your starting weight?

I'm at the stage that I am looking towards the end and trying to focus on how I will feel. The carrot rather than the stick approach.

I feel healthy and positive.

I'm still going swimming once a week. I'd go more often but it's 15 miles away.

I didn't realise how difficult walking had become, until I started to lose weight. And now that I've shed 7st 8lb I can understand why.

I think my clothes look much better now.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne you look amazing, an inspiration to us all. I am so looking forward to seeing similar results and meeting my future self 💕

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne looking good 😊

Hi all checking in for today.

I did OMAD for the last 2 days and finally got the scales to shift. Amen.

Anyway back to eating 2 meals a day now. It was just the motivation and drive I needed to see the scales shift.

Question about when you guys jab and why. I usually jab on Thursdays. Initially this was to keep me on the straight and narrow on the weekends but for the last few weeks, I've been quite social on the weekends. Meaning I've basically been eating despite my satiety because I'm out and I don't want to look like the fool ordering only a side.

Now the weather is getting better and there will be birthdays, bbqs etc I'm considering shifting the jab day to Sunday evening, so I start of the week with a bang and have a good clean week and then be a bit social on the weekends.

I'm on 10mg and have been for a while that I get decent satiety for pretty much the full week,even day 6 and 7.

It’s my WI and jab day.

Week 18, 7.5mg

SW 19st 4lbs (Jan 2025, pre-MJ)
SW on MJ 18st 8lbs (1 Mar 2025)
CW 16st 5lbs
Loss this week 1lb
Total loss 41lbs

Interim GW (set by Nutracheck!) 15st 8lbs

I was a pound lighter on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday FFS!

I think I hit a capillary when I jabbed as it bled quite hard - for the first time ever. Not painful, just a bit leaky!!

@mamabeeboo I started my jabs on a Saturday then I had quite bad nausea all Sunday and into Monday so I pulled it to Friday instead.

Then I was going to be away and didn’t want to take my pen with me so I pulled it back 2 days doing it a day earlier each week for 2 weeks.

So now my jab is a Wednesday! I tracked the time gap between jab and nausea and do it in the evening to try and get over any nausea while I’m asleep.

it means I get satiety over the weekend but don’t feel too sick to eat anything. The effects last well, it’s still preventing craving and falling in to office doughnuts up to next jab at the moment!

Jab and weigh today. I always forget the weigh so we will say stayed the same. I have my verification call with oushk in the next day or so and I guess they don't want me naked on the scales so I will weigh a bit more. Boo

@TragicMuse would I be able to track just protein on the nutra check app? Trying to find something else to use before I move away from Voy who have a good AI food tracker. I don’t want at the moment to calorie count but am tracking protein and water intake carefully.

I am planning to take a Tupperware box for occasions like this and just say I had a big meal already/ I’m not hungry. If they are proper friends they won’t mind. I however have told people I know and all were great about it

Very well done! Can I join the 3st 3 club (well 3st 2.75lbs technically)? Think I also started the same week- 23rd March?. Still got a BMI just over 45 though at 24st 6.5.

I’m at a weird people noticing but not directly saying stage- ‘you look well’ or ‘what a lovely dress’. Seeing my brother who’s generally oblivious for the first time in about 3 months tomorrow, so will be interested in his reaction if any

Of course you can join the club - all 3 3ers welcome!

I started the week before as hopefully I will be leaving the club this week and moving up to the 3st 6ers 🤣
