June 2025 Starters - Mounjaro (thread 4)

[FoxRedPuppy]

Into our second month now!

I'm about to do my 6th jab. 2nd one of 5mg.
I've been feeling a bit despondent this week. I know I've lost weight in the last 5 weeks. 10kg which is brilliant! But just feel a bit flat. I haven't noticed anything different.
Sw 104.2kg
Cw 94.2kg
Go 80kg ish.

Thanks for the perspective everyone- you are of course right that 6lb in a4 week period is great and sustainable loss.

I'm going to go back to 2.5mg as of Saturday (30 clicks from a 5mg pen then will simply go back to a 2.5mg pen in my next order in a few weeks).

Thank you!

Hey losers! Eighth jab last night and another 3 pound down, so have lost 21 pound which is just crazy. Planning to stick with 3.75 for the rest of the summer holidays as it’s working for me with no real side effects and don’t want to risk any with the kids at home.

Glad to hear SE are subsiding for a few of you and grateful to read everyone’s experience as it’s helpful deciding whether to increase dose/foods to avoid/etc. Have a good weekend all!

Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to get out the 5th dose. I've got my special needles, I've watched videos - but the consensus isn't there over injecting air in first or not. Any more tips?

Don’t inject air in - insert the needle and then pull back the plunger. That’s what I did and it worked easily.

Sounds like you are doing amazingly well so keep onwards and downwards!
Did you take measurements at the start?
Have you tried on some clothes in a new size?
Do you need to move along a hole on a belt?
I think our minds do take time to adjust. My mind never accepted I am so big and I always think I am smaller than I am.

Surprisingly no. I'm now exactly 2 weeks off and only in the last 2 days have I been snacking. Still managed 1100 calories with no real issues.

I've checked the Shotsy app and I did still have approx. 3mg in my system, which has now come down to 1.73mg, so know it's still the MJ effect. It takes a while to get out of your system which is when the real test will begin.

I found it easier than I expected. Just sterilise the end of the pen with an alcohol wipe where you would normally attach the needle head and I did the same with the needle . Insert the needle straight and steady into the end of the pen draw out the required amount and a little extra to expel any air for me it was 0.6 or 60 by numbering on the needle . Hold needle upright and flick the side of the syringe watch any air move to end then expel any air and excess medication so you’re left with your required dose . I injected in the stomach grabbed a bit of fat a couple of inches aside from the navel and injected the medicine at a slightly sideways angle . Didn’t feel it was no different to the pen wouldn’t think twice about doing it again . Good luck !!

Sorry to ask again, but the thread moves so fast I can’t find the link! Which needles have people bought for the golden dose please? I started my 5mg pen with 45 clicks, then did 50, and am going to do the full 60 tomorrow and next week. By my calculations that will leave 25 clicks which I really don’t want to waste, and I hope with the excess it might make up another full dose! I’ve had no noticeable SEs on 45/50 clicks so hoping 60 won’t be a problem. Not much suppressions unfortunately - I’ve had to use loads of willpower. I’ll see how I get on with the full 5mg but unless it’s massively better, I think I’ll try 7.5 and increase gradually again.
NSV today - brought a pair of trousers with me that were too tight to wear at home but today I wore them no problem!
I’m excited to see the scales when I get home, but also apprehensive in case they don’t show what I’m hoping for…

Im at same point as you and actually put 4llbs on last week. So peed off. Im eating healthy stuff. Going to gym 3 times a week. Drinking plenty. So annoying. Putting it down to muscle gain ???

I found this link on another thread, I've just ordered.

Hola June Jabbers :)

Loss so far 17lbs across 7 weeks

As suspected, same as last time when I’ve come off my two weeks of varied shifts (including nights) to a more normal sleep pattern, I saw a mini whoosh on the scales. Seems I have lost 1-2 lbs per week when on that pattern, then around 4lbs on the first week off, so taking it as a victory!

Frustrated to be just 1lb and change off the next stone bracket but hopefully next week!

Will have my monthly review with the pharmacist next week ahead of jab 9. New pen time again (aren’t they coming round fast!!?!) and need to decide if I stay on 2.5mg or go up to 5mg. She was keen for me to go up to 5mg last time but I resisted 😂. To be honest, my suppression is still good on 2.5mg but wonder if I’d see better results at the next level? She was not happy when I suggested 3.75mg and ranted about how that’s not how it’s designed to work 🙄, might still do that though as these SE stories are terrifying, I hate being sick so at a bit of a crossroads with the best way forward.

Keep on trucking JJs! Onwards and downwards 😊

Just back from a mid week break at butlins. 3lb on. Oh dear. Hopefully will come back off quite quickly.
It's time for jab 9 tomorrow. It will be my 4th 5mg jab. No major SE except constipation.
I have just ordered my next pen. Decided to go for 7.5mg and went with Zava. I got a 25% off voucher so made it more reasonable.
Fingers crossed no increased SE. Will do the golden dose on my 5mg pen which should be about 6.25mg.

Hi everyone. A frustrating week for me where despite sticking to all my nutrition and activity targets the scales haven't moved at all. No fluctuations, no water retention etc just stayed the same all week. Im feeling really frustrated but trying to talk myself out of it. I know I am doing the right things, sometimes our bodies are just stupid and unpredictable 😆

I took my measurements again today and I'm seeing good progress there. Just chilling with a coffee then I'll go take my frustrations out in the gym by lifting some heavy weights. I have a nice afternoon planned with a couple of drinks out with my husband.

Is anyone else staying on 2.5mg? I've got my third pen but still getting good suppression and satiety and (before this week) good rate of loss so I'm staying on 2.5 for a third month. Fingers crossed it's the right decision for me.

Have a great weekend everyone 😊

I can join the weight gain blip group! Weighed today and gained 0.4kg. Which is just under 1lb. Reckon it is last weekend starting to show. I’m still not really snacking and eating healthily but I don’t think I’m full as quickly.

And I had my first bit of chocolate in 7 weeks this week!

Might try 3.75 again this week. Although I have a big work thing next week.

I’ve enjoyed having zero side effects this week. So I either need more will power or an increase 😂

I have also gained half a pound this week, but I'm assuming it's period related because I have worshipped the Holy Triumvirate of Fibre, Protein and Exercise and stayed under 1200 cals.

It's most annoying because I'm still two pounds under losing two stone in total, as I was this time last week.

That’s really rubbish. I don’t really have periods as I’m perimenopausal and have a mirena coil. So sadly I can’t blame that.

I’ve been eating similar things but haven’t always logged this week. Need to get back on it. But it’s hard to force DP to give exact weights and measures of a lovely meal he’s just cooked me 😂. He also doesn’t do weights, he trained as a chef and still just chucks stuff in until it tastes good!

Yes, I’m in the same static club annoyingly, despite feeling as if I have increased activity. I’m still on 2.5 mg as it was coming off slow and sure earlier.

@ShakespearesSisters how much was 7.5mg please and can I have your code? The cheapest I’ve found so far is £123 with online clinic

Hi everyone. Well done to you all on your weight losses.
I have been on Mounjaro for 8 weeks now and have lost 26lbs. I am really happy with how it’s going. I took my first 7.5mg jab last night. I am slightly nauseous today but that happened when I went up a dose last time. I really felt that the 5mg was losing its power towards the last part of the week so was definitely ready to move up to 7.5.
Onwards and downwards! 💜.

Saturday again! These weeks go by quickly. Well done to all of you keeping going whilst juggling SE and plateaus.
This has been an interesting week for me. I’m not sure why ( apart from not really enjoying doing the injection and then the impact it has) but I didn’t inject this week. There didn’t seem to be the right day/time and after my own plateau which I mentioned last week the scales had begun to move. Alongside that I wasn’t feeling tempted to overeat or snack and I am finishing the week 3lbs lighter! I’m on 2.5mg, I am technically at the end of week 6 but have only injected 5 times. I will inject tomorrow but today we have a big family party and I want to be able to eat what I fancy. Have a good week everyone 💪🏻

Just catching up on all your news after a busy work week.
My total loss is now at 20 pounds. Another 24 to go at least.
Still on 3.75mg and not feeling as bad as I did last week with nausea.
Ive stayed with the same provider as I cannot be bothered with the hassle of changing. But already my mind is moving towards maintenance and wondering if I should start considering a move to someone who offers easy access to MJ in the event of weight gain!

I'm about to inject 3.75. I'm nervous but reminding myself that this is how I felt before my 1st ever dose. And it was ok...

Weight loss and suppression, in fact all side effects, have definitely stalled so I think this is the right decision for me.

looking on monj.co.uk IQ doc have 7.5 for £119 - I used them for my first order, no issues

Silly question, but if I change suppliers I'm now no longer obese but overweight. Would I still be prescribed?
