June 2025 Starters - Mounjaro (thread 4)

[FoxRedPuppy]

Into our second month now!

@Itsjunedeer i would stick with eating whatever you can manage. Karen to what your body wants! The heat has definitely not helped this week!

@FoxRedPuppy I use HIGH5 ZERO which i get from amazon. Various flavours.

Soooo, I'm back from holiday. Stunned that I've only gained 3lb. I deliberately stayed on 2.5 so I could eat/drink on holiday.
Now need to decide whether to stay on 2.5 or go up. Luckily have a golden dose, so i have a week to make up my mind. But kinda inclined to stay low.

I do have some opposite of NSVs though (NSL - non scale losses) in that clothes which were fitting well are now starting to look tight over the belly again. 😞
And i feel like I've lost tone because of missing exercise classes (back on that today!)

But I'm happy to get back on it and effectively start again. I've got some social things this week involving food, and I'm happy to approach them in a disciplined way rather than an on holiday way.

@FoxRedPuppy I use FreeSoul ones. I’d prefer to go for unsweetened but they are really good and the flavour is bearable. I find them so helpful for lifting tiredness and brain fog, preventing constipation and generally when a bit run down (or hungover - although MJ has completely put me off alcohol!)

Hi all, haven’t posted for a while. Started my third pen last Friday - moved to 5mg. On May 30th I weighed 13 stone 12, today I weigh 12 stone 3. No side effects at all, apart from a bit of constipation (which raw pineapple, sweetcorn and lots of water soon shifts).

people are beginning to notice now! I do sometimes feel hungry but am pushing through and sticking as close to 1400 calories a day.

After seemingly sticking st the same weight according to my scales all of a sudden it's dropping off! 2.5 months in and :

Sw: 19st 2
Cw: 16st 11
Gw: 11st 11

My clothes are looser!

@Sideorderofchips @maddiemookins16mum both great weight losses! Everything I read basically says stick with it and eventually it comes off! I am in week 9 and feel like the last 3 weeks have been slow with just a pound a week yet overall I have lost 20lb. If in 52 weeks time I had lost 52lbs I’d have reached my goal and then some!

Can anyone help me ? I’ve been trying to search up posts in relation to the 360 body scan I’ve heard mentioned and can’t find any 🤦🏻‍♀️. I know some of you have used it could you help a sad technophobe out and give me some idea how to find and use it ☺️

It's called MeThreeSixty.

Thank you so much !!!!! 😊

Can anyone offer me thoughts?
I took me 3rd dose of 5mg MJ of Sat evening 1 day early due to adjusting for holiday. Need to bring dose early again by 1 day to Friday this week.
ChatGPT (advised me he wasn’t a medical professional!) said if I will have remaining in my body 6.39mg, but had I remained on my regular Sunday dosing I would only have 3.68mg left in my body, which is a huge difference. I’m thinking this may explain my nausea (partly migraine related) and my inability to eat more than a mouthful without feeling sick. And the fact I’ve seeming lost 2.75lb since my last jab (sat) when I normally loose 1 -1.5lb a week which I’m happy with!

I need to bring my dose to Friday this week, i was thinking of dropping to 3.75mg for this Friday and resuming my normal 5mg Sunday schedule when i get home (1week). Thoughts greatly appreciated.

Is this so you don’t have to take pen with you on holiday?

I would use something like shotsy to get a more accurate idea of how much in body. It has a long half life, so that could explain the side effects. Although I think sometimes they just turn up too!

I'm assuming you don’t have time to move it more slowly to Saturday morning and then Friday evening, so 12 hours rather than 24?

@waitingforlifeonmars that doesn’t make sense. You lose half in the first week so obviously taking a day earlier you will have a bit more in your system and then go up a lot more one day earlier as you have just injected the 5mg. I’ve done this a couple of times and it was fine. I would just do what is convenient for you.

yes, I’m only going for a week. I tapered it to be Saturday morning and then my husband told me when our flight times are and there is no way I’ll manage it that early, I’ll barely be functioning!

@SunandMoor thank you.
@FoxRedPuppyregarding Shotsy- I don’t want to pay for another app! With 3 kids, all the tv show apps and their phones- i can’t afford another one plus MJ!

We booked a last minute holiday in the uk. No pen and scales. Meant to jab today but not back till Friday. Suppression is still really high so hoping it might wear off so I can enjoy some food. NSV I’ve had to remove my rings as they keep slipping off when I’m swimming.

@waitingforlifeonmars "regarding Shotsy- I don’t want to pay for another app! "
you don't need the premium version, the free version does what you need 👍

Could you tell me how? I have no idea where to look. Thank you

Either App Store for iPhone or Google play for Android.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I have the shotsy app but the free version. People seem to indicate I can find out my MJ level on the free version, but I can’t work out how.

Hi. The only way I can see it on my app (android) is on the initial page, as below. Its not shown on the calendar like some users can see. So I can only see what's estimated in my system right now.

We’re getting very close to the end of this thread folks so I took the liberty of starting a new one: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/weight-loss-injections/5391310-june-2025-starters-mounjaro-thread-5

Onwards and downwards we continue to go!

@Emas82 thank you. Sadly it doesn’t show on iPhone like that.

@waitingforlifeonmars if you click on ‘calendar’ at the bottom it shows you what the estimated level is on each day.

@Emas82 how do you insert a screenshot??
