Another Musical fan here since I was a young girl but I also love Theatre and the Opera. Im checking the Muscat Opera House every day for their new season starting in September, and later on in the year I’m seeing Andre Rieu in Abu Dhabi, and David Grey in Dubai.

It’s funny how the Mounjaro is our common bond but there’s also much more we have in common.

Azuresky68 · 30/07/2025 12:56

@Addictedtobeauty well done and glad you dropped in to update your progress x

lookathatbookcase · 30/07/2025 11:27

Weighed myself at the dr's today, on actual medical scales, and am down to 12st 5! Not 12st 10 as my scales at home say!!! Which means that I'm now fully down 3st 4lb, or a large elephant's heart! Mind actually blown. Still at least another stone to go but gosh, we're getting there.

Well done!

Azuresky68 · 30/07/2025 13:00

@Weepixie I led 2 tours for Newmarket holidays to see Andre Rieu in his home town. He is amazing....I don't know where he gets his energy from. Have you seen him before?

eeeeeeeee · 30/07/2025 13:00

hi again, long time!

everyone looks slender in their pics! Amazing work

I thought I’d post as I don’t have anyone to speak about MJ with in real life. I didn’t actually tell anyone I was on it in the end! And I’m not actually on it anymore…

Post MJ, I have been able to maintain my weight. I have stayed within the same kilogram which is reassuring me that my eating habits have changed. My hair has started to grow in after I experienced initial loss on MJ too.

However even though I regularly went to the gym on MJ, I was never able to gain muscle. I’m trying to do that now but my body is in a bit of a weird mid-composition phase now. My bum is completely lean/flat which isn’t ideal, whereas my thighs/forearms never got lean. So I guess I don’t really feel that confident in myself even though I do look better than before MJ. It’s a weird one!

FurForksSake · 30/07/2025 11:23

just looked up my McDonald’s pancakes and sausage, 600 calories! I won’t be doing that again for a year. I won’t be in a deficit today, a good warning of just how easy it is / was to make a choice and regret it. It wasn’t 600 calories nice.

Well done for tracking!

Azuresky68 · 30/07/2025 13:03

@Blondeshavemorefun are you on 10mg or 7.5 Blondes? I have just gone up to 12.5 for my last 7 pounds. Wish I had done it sooner 😪 I was trying to save money by reducing the dose but it's meant I have stayed the same for months!!

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/07/2025 13:05

I dropped to 7.5 but hip pain and ankle pain increased so gone back to 10 for holiday but will drop again when home &@Azuresky68 x

Well done @eeeeeeeee and nice to hear from you

@FurForksSakewell done for counting

OP posts:
Weepixie · 30/07/2025 15:05

@eeeeeeeee a huge well done on your maintaining, that’s a huge achievement. And re your muscles - people over estimate how easy it is to build muscles, in fact it’s not easy at all and if it was we’d be walking around like apes. You need to give yourself a year of serious weight training as well as functional fitness to grow your glutes so to speak. You would probably see little changes in your shape sooner than that but to see a bum it’s going to take a lot longer.

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/07/2025 15:08

@BettyandtheVets lovely to hear from you and yes please do come back and post /say hello

@20bloodypounds a you say prob not prob a true gain

@Azuresky68 yes this am so it’s delivered after my holiday

very strict and tight. I was going to do a post this evening about it

but now done the first two steps I’m hoping reordering next month will be easier /quicher

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 30/07/2025 15:13

@Addictedtobeauty that’s great well done - do you sts the weeks you don’t lose or it’s more like 1/2 a lb a week

sounds like my bum and thighs. I sit on pillows on on the sofa as no fat and flat bum

@lookathatbookcase interesting your scales are heavier then doctors

as I only weigh on mine - and go by that - you have no idea if they are accurate or not

OP posts:
Addictedtobeauty · 30/07/2025 15:24

@Blondeshavemorefun generally I sts or bounce up and down but the trend over the month is down.

20bloodypounds · 30/07/2025 15:52

To maintain I'm on about 1200. I find it OK if I have small portions. That way I can have a wide variety (a little bit of everything I love). I often have e.g. a salmon fillet, potatoes with mint and butter, a selection of veg - then save about a third of it for breakfast or lunch the next day (salmon, broccoli and potato mashed with cottage cheese/mayo and spread on a slice of toast). Struggle with half portions of wine though! I never save them for breakfast GrinGrin

@FurForksSake "it wasn't 600 calories nice" Yesterday dh had a cinnamon muffin and I had one bite of it. Tasted lovely and I felt indulged. But calories in a whole one were 581!!!! I'm short and narrow - there's not much that would be worth half a day's calories.

@Addictedtobeauty I think the latter stages of weight loss are where MJ is brilliant. The weight loss may be slow - I had a long stall January to March - but you can have the confidence that the trend is marginally down. This is where a traditional diet has always felt impossible for me. What was the point in feeling hungry and deprived (aka miserable) for the sake of a pound a month? So I would give up. I'd give up on the diet and healthy eating, and I'd give up on my dreams of ever being able to keep to a lower weight. That's why the pounds piled back on. Despite my earlier posts about feeling hungry and putting on a couple of pounds, I really belive that I've changed a lot of my approach to food, and that we CAN do this.

@eeeeeeeee I've never told anyone either.

Re: the skinny bums - I found out this weekend that train seats are incredibly uncomfortable when you've got a 4 hour journey. I need to travel with a cushion in future.

For those with Oushk, what photos do you we need now? I've done my maintenance call, and my weight check call in the last month. About to order my next pen and I'd like to be prepared...

FurForksSake · 30/07/2025 15:58

For oushk, they wanted a new photo, last prescription, screenshot of weigh ins if possible from smart scale, height verification if possible, lots of medical questions and questions about who journey started with.

it was mostly what I’d already discussed with hira and then verified in the weight and height call.

also wanted to know when current pen runs out.

I ignored a lot of that as I had my video call a few weeks ago and weight hadn’t really changed

so didn’t see the point and think it said don’t do if been seen /video call recently

same with height

but did. A full length pic

oh! I missed that some was optional! It made me go back and fill it out before I could move forward, but wasn’t obvious how much (to me) I could skip.

Azuresky68 · 30/07/2025 19:52

@eeeeeeeee well done for maintaining without MJ. How long have you been at target?

It was in the wording that if had been seen , or had done a recent order etx

which I had to both

i managed to place an order so guess they were ok with it

maybe helps I’ve been with them for 4/5mths

Loving all the updates and pics folks ❤️I just had an nsv. I'm not into clothes, at all. I am a scruffy hippy tbh!. I had a top I bought at Glastonbury in 1998, I dyed it & gave it to my just turned 18 yr old as she adores Retro clothing - ( bit rude 😆eh ) Well i just took it back 😆😆 Excuse the terrible hair and no makeup - was just taking the dog out!!

I’ve had three pens from them now, but they’ve allowed mine too, so obviously both ways work 😆

lookathatbookcase · 30/07/2025 21:53

Oh, and an NSV for today too - went to Uniqlo for some bits. Last year was busting out of their XL; today, bought a top on sale in L without trying it on, got it home and it's a bit too baggy!

Birthday tomorrow and coming up to my 1-year MJ anniversary on Aug 4th; what a difference a year makes, hey. Well done to all of us!

(and @PoemsForTea wondering if we were at the same Glasto? Fully flooded, remember being wrapped in binbags and watching Nick Cave!)
