Mounjaro Feb 2025 starters (thread 7!)…

[Mounjaroday]

Well my goodness. Thread 7. Warriors, we are 6 months in! How life has changed.

To all of you who have made it: many, many congratulations and good luck with the continued maintenance. To the rest of the team still climbing that mountain: we got this, let’s bloody go!!

SW 103.9kg / 16.4 stone
CW 73.4kg / 11.6 stone
TW 72.2kg / 11.4 stone (top end healthy BMI)
Dream weight 68kg / 10.7 stone

Reeeeeeally want to get to target weight before holiday in 10 days time so time really is ticking now! Feel like one of the Lionesses: must keep my cool, bang it in the back of the net and get the job done.

You are all absolutely amazing and the continued support on this group is incredible.

Onwards and downwards! Godspeed for thread 7! xx

P.S. have clearly plagiarised some phrases from some of you good people. Hope you don’t mind: feel they’re part of our thing as a group now so please take it as flattery!

OMG @WoolerOwl you are teeny!

Btw - without sounding like a total dick - thanks so much to everyone who has shared photos. Obviously no pressure at all for anyone to share anything so intimate / outing as a photo of themselves - appreciate it’s not appropriate for everyone! Just thankful to those who have put themselves out there for the group x

Whenever you amazing people are ready, come on over to the new thread:

(I know this one isn’t quite full yet. Now we’re at 950 comments so we do have room for another page. I just start to stress for some reason!).

Well said, @Mounjaroday. I have been thinking about posting and you’ve convinced me!
Here I am before and now. Still overweight. Apparently. You can see the tum!

I also appreciate the sharing of pics. You are all looking AMAZING!

Well, I can report that washing all my too big trousers on a hot wash, and then boiling them in the tumble dryer has had . . . precisely no effect. Except using a load of electricity and creating a big ironing pile. They’re going in the too big box, moving house with me, and I’ll review next year whether I think they’re worth taking to the seamstress.

@WoolerOwl I saw those silky trousers in M&S yesterday … tempting.
I ended up fighting over size 12 jeans from the fitting room reject rail. All their jeans were sold out in sizes 10,12,14 reg online and none on the shop floor so it was dog eat dog.
I wonder if that’s a MJ effect?

Did you win, @laundryhamper ??

I kept gaining last week then lost a little the scales are annoying at times maybe do a body measurement so that can give you a boost i did mine other day or even go on weight loss percentage it lifts the mood.
It will come off its just been stubborn so keep plugging away 😀

@SpiralSister Got two but changing rooms full so trying to decide between the colours at home. What do you think?
BTW another side effect from MJ is that I now go into changing rooms (if not full) to try stuff on.

Nice jeans! My default reaction is to go darker, but I think that’s a hang over from my fat time! I actually like the lighter ones..

Me too. Leaning towards lighter…

Ok, I’ll play. Here’s me in Jan at 89.2kg (over 14 stone) vs today at 66.0kg (10 stone 5). No longer asthmatic, no more creaky joints and constantly knackered. I think I can even see the beginning of muscle in my arms, so the weights must be working!

I’m horrified when I look back, I was all middle aged gut. Awful.

Another vote for lighter!
