Mounjaro October starters - Thread 8!

[HansHolbein]

Carry on losers!

I love the digital blue tooth scales, Iv had mine since 2018 so I can see what I was at what time since then.
So if I see a picture and think oo I looked nice and slim then i go back and check my weight on it too 😂

Yes thank you :)

I’ve just started 12.5mg, I’m 4 stone down with prob 1.5 stone still to go. Feeling way better than this time last year in the heat!

NSV - So I went and tried on some of my jeans I used to wear .. size 10s!

and THEY FIT. Maybe a tad tight but they go all the way up and zip/button.

What a win.

Size 10 wiggle dance 💃

Ps look what I’ve become! I genuinely reckon I’d pick this over a pizza these days. Four yellow sticker M&S salads combined

Morning all, just checking in as I’ve finally lost a pound and am now 11 stone 3 lbs. 3 lbs to fist target! At a 2lb a month rate of loss it’ll take me until August. I’m fine with that.

Have completely cleared my wardrobe of all 16s and 14s. They go to my daughter to sell on vinted. Still having a blast buying new things - combo of vinted and high street. Some vinted things fabulous and others I put back on if they don’t fit. Favourite this week was a new blouse from m and s and a skirt in the white co sale. From vinted my favourites were Hobbs linen trousers and a top (both new with tags). I seem to be consistently size 12 with a smaller size in t shirts (M 10).

I have Renpho scales but haven’t fully set them up yet to get the macros (scared of what I might see, I think!). @lapuf I’ve only just bought mine and they are so much more accurate than my old ones!

@Fizzleawayyy1 here is mine - so much more green and yellow, so much of it was red when I first started. So happy I got the scales, it’s been brilliant seeing the stats changing gradually. Not sure I’ll ever get the body fat one green though - it drops lower and lower but never gets me out of the danger zone!
so happy though, coming from 16 stone and a bmi of 35 I could never have envisaged being in this position now.

Hey all, I am looking for some help please. I want to order from a different provider however I don't have the box for my current pen which I usually take a photo of for proof. (bit of a story I took it on hols and it got binned by accident). Anyway I emailed Pharmacy2u multiple times (4 to be exact) asking for a prescription and they are totally ignoring me. Is there anything else I can use as proof like a screenshot of the order that was despatched or am I stuck with them for another month? Appreciate any advice

Hoo-bloody-rah! I have hit 4 stone off since October at long last so 13st 10lbs now and half way to my eventual target of 9st 10lbs. My DD found a video of me from 4 years ago with DGS and I hadn't realised just how ENORMOUS I was (pushing 19 st at 5' 3"). I think I saw a skinny in the mirror 😆

There should be a letter confirming your prescription to you GP which is viewable on the NHS app - each prescription I have had is shown in the correspondence section on my GP record.

You could try and send a copy of that as proof of prescription?

Congratulations @fourquenelles have a 4 stone off rosette!

@fourquenelles You have done so well! It’s fab. I find MJ is just a slow plod along. Doesn’t matter really as long as it goes down.

Thank you, I am Scotland and don't have an app so think only way would be calling GP surgery, thanks so much

Iv just sent a screenshot of my dispatch email before and its always been accepted.

Looks lovely, I had the m&s chicken and pesto pasta pot yesterday which was ok but very oily. It was 370 calories

@Letshavetea1 set the scales up! I love mine, I would replace them within 5 minutes if mine broke now.

@TheChosenTwo It seems to be taking me ages to shift the body fat too! I started at 47.2% and I'm now 29.5%

@fourquenelles well done! I seen some old pictures of me the other day and thought WHAT THE HELL!!!

I must of woke up and just look different or something because over the past week it now seems everyone can notice the weight difference and they are now commenting. It only took 5 stone for people to really start to notice!

I lost 2lbs this week, it seems to be what I shift on average each week. I have no plans for the next week which involve food (although I am seeing a medium tonight👻) so fingers crossed for 2 more lbs off.

After this week, I'm busy for the whole of July and each weekend involves food 🍕. I'm just hoping I can stay the same through the rest of July.

@Fizzleawayyy1 - you’re right. I will set them up! Thank you.

@Fizzleawayyy1 it’s finally happened and the body fat is finally in the green - just about but I’ll take it! Down 2.7lbs today, I’m in the 10 stone bracket. Also hit my target I set up on Renpho back in October - not quite sure what my target actually was, if it was lbs lost or to hit a particular weight but I achieved it today.

I don't have Renpho scales, they are from amazon and my body fat is 23% and classed as high on mine! My visceral fat is 12% and high which is worrying, its only dropped from 14 at the start of my journey but my body fat and subcutaneous fat is on the lower scale compared to lots of others ive seen on here. My ethnicity does naturally mean i have more abdominal and visceral fat and so my bmi has to be under 23 to be normal. On my scales body fat is normal under 22% and subcutaneous fat is normal under 15%.

I was also prediabetic for years and didn't know about it and genetically have higher risk of diabetes due to immediate family so I guess I'm not surprised about the higher visceral fat and have always had a big belly from age of 18. Has anyone had measurements done externally at a gym or GP and know if they correspond to the home scales in terms of fat ratios etc?

Morning all, hope everyone enjoying the weather and I am so thankful I am 40lb lighter than last summer.
Still maintaining on my reverse dieting and eating 2,100 calories per day without much variance in weight,
Despite my cruise food(and drink) no weight gain but not pushing my luck and back to normal eating. Would definitely recommend a cruise, there were all ages on board with plenty to do. We just booked a cheap inside cabin and despite my fear of feeling claustrophobic loved it and were hardly in room of a day.

i bought Arboleaf scales from Amazon which give same data as Renoho but wouldn’t recommend as always have issues linking it to my phone when I weigh.
@Histoscientist My gym has just got all new Technogym equipment including body composition machine and the data from it was pretty much the same as on my weighing scales. Though from what I have read none of them are very accurate.
For me the best method for seeing if body fat is going down is measuring your waist regularly, especially as it is the visceral fat I am trying to reduce now.

Sure someone mentioned on here they were taking L-tyrosine for anxiety on MJ but despite doing a search can’t find it. My sister has been getting anxiety on it so wondering if it is still helping them?

Eating 120g protein a day, weight training twice per week and 3/4 mile walks with dog most days. Feeling stronger though would like to have more energy of an evening as I tend to just slob out.

Really enjoying having clothes that I feel nice and slim in, and was pleasantly surprised at photos taken of me at a family party recently where I normally try to hide behind others. Had to do a double take as wasn’t sure it was me as looked so slim and healthy 😂

Week 17 of maintenance
SW 12st 2lb
GW 9st 7lb (happy with 9st 2lb - 9st 7lb)
CW 9st 3.3lb.
Current dose 3mg every 8 days.

Wow everyone- have read the first 3 pages of thread to catch up - busy week here. So lovely to hear how everyone if feeling confident, healthy and comfortable in the heat! It’s great to wear a dress and not need chub rub short underneath! I love being able to wear what I like now rather than what helps me
look less fat! I’m back in 2.5mgs and surprised by how much easier it’s making maintaining my weight loss. It’s definitely the food noise element that’s so useful for me. Love everyone’s STATs with your techno scales ! I don’t have any and it’s tempting to get some - my husband could do with confronting his visceral fat! He’s defo in denial. I’ve managed to lose 1lb and back to 8.7lbs which is great. I have my Oushk maintenance call in August so will not have any pens at that point and I’m now hoping they’ll prescribe me a 2.5mg pen which I can use 1 month in and 1 month off if possible to begin with. I don’t know if they do that ? But I’ll see I guess.

Cong everyone in your incredible wins 🙌🩷.

Thanks for new thread too 💕
