June 2025 Starters - Mounjaro (thread 4)

[FoxRedPuppy]

Into our second month now!

W5D4 - just got back from 2 weeks holiday where I drank a couple of glasses of wine each night but tried to pick healthy food 90% of the time and watched my portion control! Have come home and weighed myself and lost 4lbs!! I did my fitness pal app each day to try and roughly keep track. I have lost 13lb now since I started which I am delighted with! SW 15st 2lb. Still on 2.5mg out of a 5mg pen as did not want to increase and feel sick while I was away. Main SE was acid reflux 2 nights which I think was the wine!

Bookmarking!
W5 D2 (started 5mg) - tiny bit of nausea, lots of suppression i didn't get on 2.5mg

SW: 246lbs - 111.6kg - 17st 8lbs
CW: 235lbs - 106.5kg - 16st 11lbs
GW: 180lbs - 81.6kg - 12st 12lbs

Im on my second period now since I started MJ, both have been late by a couple days.

Morning all. Down another kg last week, so 6.3kg in 6 weeks (which is pretty much a stone in old money) very happy with that.

Ooh just weighed myself and another 2lbs off - making 9lbs in total over 3 weeks! Plus my BMI is now ‘overweight’ rather than ‘obese’. 🙌

I’ve just taken my 4th dose (2.5mg) and will hopefully do the golden one next week as there’s still plenty left in the pen. I’ve got my 5mg pen ready though if I can’t get it out.

Have a VERY dry mouth all the time and a permanent sweet taste in my mouth - like I’ve pigged out on skittles! Most odd.

Jab #3 of wegovy today.

Signing in from holiday today, from a place with a bloody microclimate meaning possibly the only spot in Europe not sunny or hot. 20c and overcast ffs. It’s hotter back home (we live abroad, so not the UK but still).

Last day of the first month!

Had my official weigh in at the gym this morning. 0.5kg weight loss this week. The body composition stats on the scales said that I’ve lost 0.7% body fat (and visceral fat is down 0.5 so that’s really good!) and actually gained 0.45kg of muscle. I’m happy with that!

Month 1 Stats:

Weight: -4.8kg

Body Fat: -3.3%

Muscle Mass: +0.2kg (Really happy with being able to maintain my existing muscle mass - with a few ups and downs! - and lose body fat)

I’ll be taking my first 5mg dose today, fingers crossed it goes well!

It didn't occur to me to take measurements, but I do think my face looks slimmer and a woman on work said my shape looked a wee bit different, however she knows I'm on it so there could be some confirmation bias there.

Mine’s just turned up a week early!

Strange night last night. Was having an awful dream that I really needed the toilet (the Titanic was also somehow involved). Woke up and realised I was having agonising stomach cramps. Managed to get to the loo and had terrible diarrhoea. I seem to have one episode a week either the day of or day after the jab, but this was much worse.

I’d cooked a beautiful sausage and chickpea traybake for dinner and despite the sausages being really decent quality, I clearly need to add them to my ‘absolutely not, far too fatty’ list.

Had to drive my son to school this AM as I couldn’t face the walk. Then ordered 6 chicken nuggets which, together with a probiotic, seem to have sorted me right out. I know….. but I was so very empty and couldn’t face any of the alternatives we had in the house.

Very little is getting done today though.

On the positive side yesterday I tried on a skirt I’ve had for years and never worn because it was always far too tight, and I can get the zip up!

So….swings and roundabouts?!

20 degrees sounds perfect to me! I hate the heat.

I get horrendous diarrhoea after sausages ! They off the menu as are eggs. It's like being pregnant lol

Glad it’s not just me then! I genuinely thought I had cooked a safe and balanced dinner!

Hi all. Been quiet this week as first jab of 5mg I took last Saturday has really taken its toll. Four days of horrendous nausea and fatigue, really floored me. Has anyone else had this? Felling back to normal today but due to take next dose tomorrow which I’m a little worried about (but I’m a goody two shoes so won’t go off label). Been focusing on fluids and protein. Like others have said, realising which fatty foods are now a no go, which is a good thing. Exercise hasn’t happened this week due to feeling so 💩 but need to get back on it with strength training. Second month ladies! 💪

I have a 2cm x 2cm red raised patch where I did my jab yesterday - has anyone had this? It’s the first time I’ve had it and it was jab 7 so I’m quite surprised. It’s a little bit hot but not itchy (otherwise I’d have thought it was a mossie bite as I react badly to them!)

Did you inject in the same place you have before? That can cause a reaction.

I took a 2.5mg dose from my 5mg pen as I am scared about making the move too! I am too busy to take time off ill and need to decide whether to just take the plunge or not! Had no SE on 2.5mg and have lost weight. Thinking of staying on 2.5mg for another week. Interested if anyone has made the step up and felt ok.

I get that if I jab in leg so use belly and that's ok

It is the same thigh as two weeks ago as I’m alternating legs but not the same spot. I usually just get a tiny bruise!

Do you notice other people around you getting slimmer and wondering if they too are jabbers ? 🤔
I’ve just attended my DS after school art exhibition and noticed some other mums looking much slimmer, very confident and smiley and immediately wanted to ask but then realised they may be offended . I myself can’t wait for someone to ask me …. I will be like “ hell yeah I’m a jabber “ 😂

I’m a bit worried as I missed the delivery of my new pen today: the courier kept changing the time and eventually I couldn’t put off going out. Of course, they attempted delivery while I was out

Supposedly they’ll try again tomorrow. But I’m worried about it being out of the fridge, and in this heat!

I'm on day 2 of 5mg and I'm quite nauseous too. No stomach problems but I definitely feel queasy a lot. Barely eating but trying

Try going in your belly x

My first 5mg was ok but 2nd omg . Nausea . Wind both ends ! Sulphur burps Hardly ate yesterday. Peppermint oil capsules are the way to go !

Ha, found the new thread.

So after 4 weeks I'm now 14 stone 6. I started around 15.1 to 15.5 depending on when I weighed myself!

I'm just in the overweight category and not obese anymore. When I hit the 13 stones it will be the lightest I've weighed for years 😇

I have felt nauseous the last few days and have little energy. I'll continue on 2.5 tomorrow and see how I go.

I need to start looking more closely at what I'm eating. I suspect it's not enough as I feel quite hangry a lot of the time.
