June 2025 Starters - Mounjaro (thread 3)

[UglyBastardFace]

Roll up, roll up June Jabbers!

Let's become true losers!!

Is your scales accurate?

Every time i stand on my scales , it shows a completely different weight.

I stood on it at 17.00 . It said that i was 89.1 kg

I stood on it again at 17.05. It said that i was 90.8 kg

I am just going by what clothes i can fit into.
All scales seem to be rubbish nowadays and inaccurate.
Last pair i bought a few years ago , gave a different weight all the time, even getting on a few times a day .

Hi all new/early jabbers!

I’m a bit of an experienced jabber now and on no.10 dose.

I was 179sw and 133/4 now. I’m stuck on the 133/4 weight but do want to shift at least another 7 for my height. No idea what I will do once I get there and my appetite is very low. Can’t tolerate certain foods anymore and haven’t touched cereal for months. My advice is WATER, WATER, WATER. I’ve been using the late Dr Mosley’s recommendation for Bimuno sachets daily in Lemon Kvarg yogurt. Aldi protein yogurt is not bad either. I’ve gone off loads of things including wholemeal bread.
my hair hasn’t fallen out although I do take multivitamins and minerals. I’m on HRT and 55 with a problematic Thyroid so I’m pleased I have got to where I am. If I can do this, anyone can.

And I never used a tracker as already had a fairly good diet but I’ve all but eliminated any breakfast except for good old tea!

Best of luck to everyone. Xx

I took my first dose yesterday.

God i was as sick as a dog today. Burps, nausea, stomach pain etc

I hope it eases up tomorrow.

So before I started mounjaro , this is my first week now day 6. I was paid up with slimming world. I still went to my usual meeting on day 3 of
mounjaro and weighed and left . This morning I received a message from my consultant saying congratulations you were slimmer of the week. 😳 I feel like such a fraud just thought I would see out my meetings as I have paid up until August . I didn’t want to tell them as there is a huge anti mounjaro vibe in group. I’m thinking I may see it out then tell them at my last meeting 😂. I just feel bad there’s a certificate and sticker for me to collect next week, omg feeling the shame 🥴.

That is why I weigh daily, let’s me see the fluctuations as it’ll just be a temporary increase

I’m just thinking ahead a bit. Those that have done another order for month 2 already, are any with MedExpress and what do you need to go through for the second month? Another form with your BMI and photo? Or do they just let you order it?

I haven’t ordered yet but I got the email to re order and it lets me go through to payment stage, but does say they’ll contact me for treatment history, not sure what that involves

Ah okay, thank you! You can only have a discount on first order as well can’t you?

Seriestwo
I weighed myself yesterday Day 5, and had gained weight. Today I have had my first poo of the week and now 4Ib lighter. Amazing

I just had to confirm my height and weight and what dose I wanted, 2.5 or 5 and that was it. Two days later the pen arrived 😁

Yes, unless someone uses your code then you get £40

I told my slimming world group for exactly this reason. Didn’t want to sit there feeling like a fraud. My consultant said that there is no problem at all carrying on but I could not win slimmer if the week or slimmer of the month which I don’t care about. I am doing this mainly for health issues and quite frankly don’t give a toss what they think, I just thought I would tell them as if I start having big losses suddenly I don’t want them all gossiping behind my back.

Hi
I have lost 10lb in four weeks and took my extra left over last night as my fifth dose before I start the 5mg pen in the fridge. It drew 0.7 but once I primed it went to 0.6.5 so not much different. I am very happy with 10lb. Clothes fitting better and I feel better too.

I did find a qualified GP on YT last night by accident who has lost 50lb on Mounjaro. She said a couple of things that shed a bit of light on things you hear on here a lot. Firstly, the 2.5mg isn't a therapeutic dose ONLY if you are using it as the drug was intended for diabetes. If you are using it for suppressing appetite it is therapeutic.

She went on to say that if 2.5mg is working for you stay on it. Don't risk side effects by moving up unnecessarily. She lost 50lbs on 2.5mg
Only move up if the suppression is coming back. That makes sense to me about the therapeutic dose as I did wonder why it wouldn't be if it worked for so many people.

Some great losses again, have a fab week! For anyone interested m.youtube.com/@Emmaanders

I feel stupid now for ordering 5mg for my next pen. 2.5mg is working really well. I was worried that it might not by end of 4 weeks. But I’m W2D5 and I’m struggling to finish my dinner!

I’ve bit the bullet and started on Mounjaro. My start weight is 15st 1. I took my first dose of 2.5g on Thursday and I can’t say that I’ve had food suppression but when I eat, I feel nauseous. Am I likely to continue like this or does it get better?

Don't feel stupid! You can still get the most out of it. I'm on 2.5 and when I next order I plan to order a 5mg and split my dose across the week so I'm taking 3.75 instead x

@RatherTardy , you were asking on excersise.I currently do x3 whole body classes a week and have found that’s helped build muscle.
I am on week 6 tomorrow (week2 on 5mg) and have lost 1st 5lb.I eat 1200 calories a day and do the 3 evening classes a week.
I occasionally add in 30-40 mins gym session on a weekend too.Suppression on 5mg has been brilliant so I will be staying on this.Have had slight nausea on hot days but that’s all.It all seems to be going well and got another 1.5 stone too lose to a suggested better weight, but will likely try to go till Xmas and get rid of a total of 5 stone.Will see how I feel, Nutracheck says will reach the milestone by September,then will go on till Xmas.Nutracheck has been really good app to track with.
I think try to give some classes or the gym /home sessions a go, I feel like I’m tackling the whole lot of reasons of my original weight gain and that motivates me.

Managed my first family day out surrounded by ice cream and fast food vans. Wasn’t even tempted the suppression is crazy. Also managed to go to the gym for over an hour this morning. Feeling good today with no side effects so far.

I think I’ll just use it for 2.5mg doses. I’ve lost 5.3kg (11lbs) in 1 weeks and 5 days. Some days I’ve struggled to eat 900 calories!

i didn’t think ahead as I’ve never won slimmer of the week before 😂. I will tell my consultant as I don’t think i deserve the accolade as I wasn’t there someone else received the prize so I don’t feel to bad ! 😊

W3d1 here and feeling a bit discouraged. 4kilos down since starting which is great but the majority of that was week 1, scales barely budged this week despite me eating less and adding in extra exercise sessions.

this evening’s injection site hurts. I didn’t even feel the first two, but this time there was a drop of the drug which came out with the needle, and the site is stinging. Hope most of it got to the right place - too expensive to waste!

will definitely move up to 5 - I keep wanting nibbles and snacks and whilst a few mouthfuls is enough it all still adds up. annoying. Week 1 was great.

That's what I plan to do. I ordered the 5mg pen as I wanted the option to increase and the price difference was small.

I am w5 d 1 on 2.5mg and the suppression has been stronger than ever since I injected yesterday morning. Really hoping it continues as I don't want to increase dose unless I absolutely have to.

I have been sent a £45 voucher code from Voy on refer a friend. No idea if this is any use to someone

If you’ve increased your exercise routine you may be experiencing inflammation to your muscles. This could lead to fluid retention while the muscles repair. It’s a normal response so though you will probably be experiencing fat loss this will be masked by the extra fluid you will carrying.

Also depending on where you live and if you are experiencing the current hot weather this could lead to your body holding extra water. Again a normal response as your body tries to regulate your temperature and maintain hydration.
