Mounjaro 10st or more to lose - Thread 6

New thread

congrats @afaloren

Well done @afaloren that's really brilliant news!

I went completely off the rails yesterday.

One of our cats didn't come in the night before. That's unusual. He never does that, so we were imagining him trapped somewhere, or run over.

I was distraught, so decided to buy and eat two packets of chocolate raisins. As you do.

Anyway, the cat rocked up at 4pm looking perfectly all right.

After that initial sugar rush, all I wanted was Jaffa Cakes.

So yes, sugar high breeds sugar high.

Glad the cat was okay @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne - so stressful, totally get the chocolate raisin crisis response! And huge congrats @afaloren, that's great news.

Thank you for your kind words and sensible suggestions and encouragement, @Iwouldratherbesinging and @mamabeeboo. It's good to be among people who understand!

I haven't caught up (this thread moves so fast!) But will do in a second. But weighed this morning and wanted to sing...

"woah, we're halfway there!" As of today I'm halfway between my starting weight this year (22st 11) and my goal weight at top of my bmi (11st)!

So excited.

And a NSV - I dropped a bag of pasta in the kitchen and squatted down to pick it up - and just had a flash of realising that's something I can do now! I used to get the kids to pick up things I'd dropped or wait for my husband...

Glad your cat is back Broon!

@Iwouldratherbesinging Ooooh that does look promising !!! I can't find more on it yet but could explain why my provider has been (frustratingly) not coming forwards with prices.

@PearlsPearl Sorry to hear the side effects have hit you. I think I ran the gauntlet of most of them around first few months. And the sulphur burps hit on my second 5g pen I think it was and I was getting most weeks for a day or two. It's not fun.

Here's the villain.
This is the picture I stuck on the village FB page.

@PearlsPearl you need loperamide for the diarrhoea.

I take two of them immediately if it starts, then two more if it continues.

Oh no @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne cats love to worry us don’t they? Glad he’s back safe. I’m sure the raisins won’t have done too much damage. They are technically fruit after all

Omg can we add ESV - Embarrassing scale victory?!

Went shopping and was carrying one bag of shopping in each hand, whilst my tracksuit bottoms which are now too loose for me, were slowly falling down. 😂😂

I didn't know whether to walk faster or slow down and walk weirdly to keep them up or to stop walking every few car lengths to pick them up. So a few people got a nice look at my knickers 😉

Teaches me for waiting until I absolutely couldn't wear them to buy more 😭

And the chocolate is just...... delicious.
🤣🤣

Hahaha! We so need the laughing reaction - this is priceless 😂🤣😂

I think that time has come @mamabeeboo!!

Oh oops definitely time for some new bottoms

Gorgeous cat, wonder where it was.?

I think he was with our neighbour, because he (the cat) wasn't hungry when he finally decided to come home.

I can’t stop eating today. Haven’t had a day like this in months, but I’ve munched my way through half a giant bag of crisps and 2 slices of DD’s homemade banana bread. Hope this isn’t a sign that I need to go up a dose, I’m already on 10mg, can’t afford to go up again!

Has anyone watched The Biggest Loser documentary on Netflix, oh the shame and humiliation and pain that the contestants went through, it made me both so sad and angry. I remember seeing clips of it years ago and wishing I could do something like that - thank god I didn’t. I used to have dark thoughts, things like - I wish I could get hit by a car and go into a coma for months and wake up thin, how do I get a tape worm… I remember people getting their jaws wired shut so they couldn’t eat. Makes me shudder

@MummyInTheNecropolisI’ve been feeling somewhat similar today. I’m now worried that I’ll show a gain on Friday and have wasted a week. Catastrophising a bit, but just feel a little bit out of control. I also don’t want to go up any higher than the 10mg that I’m on. The stress about costs is really insidiously getting to me :-(

Weigh in and jab day.

SW 137kg BMI 53.5
CW 105kg BMI 41
GW 63kg BMI 24.6

That's 5 stone off! Only another 4 stone 8 pounds to go and I will be overweight rather than obese, which is a bit dispiriting.

On the plus side, two NSVs this week:

• I have noticed that the skin tags on my neck which form a necklace are shrinking both in size and number. Hopefully this is an indicator that my diabetes is more under control
• DH says I have stopped snoring

We are on holiday next week including a night in a hotel so I'm not expecting any weightloss at all in this coming week.

It's mainly going to be a week of allotmenting and sewing. I have some fabric to make myself a new top plus fabric to make DM three new tops. She lives in a care home and I like to ring the changes a bit.

I'm feeling similar, @SilenceInside and @MummyInTheNecropolis - and I agree the concern about increasing costs is sneakily laying an unhealthy foundation of anxiety, which never helps anything.

Amusingly, but not really, my dog stole my pen yesterday! The needle had already been disposed of and the lid was on, but she looked quite pleased with herself. She's a Golden Retriever and was quite gentle, it wasn't crushed, but still not great. I'd only used one jab from it! Have emailed my supplier about a replacement, but not heard back - I'm guessing they're busy!

Quick question for anyone with Medino - I noticed yesterday that they seem to be possibly allowing people to order now at the current price, with a note saying they'll send it when it's clinically appropriate. Anyone tried it?

I'm still loosing weight ,but very slowly now
I'm a couple of pounds of an 8 stone loss
Got in to a bit of a rut with eating the same foods each day ,as it's easy to track the calories
I've realised I'm not eating anything I can't work out the calories off .
But I bought a couple of new hoodies in the sale as I'm cold a lot..and I'm so excited to report they are a size 20 and baggy on me .
I was buying a yours clothing size 34 at the start of October last year.
I don't know how anyone else is doing things ,but I don't eat , crisps, biscuits,cake , chocolate or anything junk wise ..a fruit ice lolly is as wild as I go .
I wonder if that helps with cravings,as it's been a year now since I gave up junk food ,way before I started injections.
I'm getting very near my weight I was when I got married,DH is very complimentary these days

I'm also turning in a Shar pi ..(wrinkle dog )
Wrinkly neck and wrinkly tops of inner legs ..
Everything else ok for now .
Starting to feel like a normal weight,just might be possible.
Currently my goal is to get to a size 16 and then see how I feel
I don't want to be left with a lot of skin ,so id rather stay a bit bigger ,but we shall see how I go

Really?

They have put the prices right up.

I ordered a 12.5mg pen as well as my usual 15mg pen, and they cancelled the 12.5mg one and sent me a snippy note.

I'm really annoyed with them, because I used a 10% code, which they're refusing to give me back, even though it was they who cancelled my order.

Their prices went up overnight.

Woo-hoo @GnomeDePlume

5 stone off!
