Anybody else just starting?

[raspberryberet7]

Just about to order and wonder if anyone else wa sin same boat and wanted to hand hold through the journey?

I'm 6 months in and on 12.5mg but just wanted to say you"ll smash it.

Best decision I ever made 5 stone down xx

My jab arrived today and now the nerves have kicked in!

I found it really helpful to join the month starters thread when I started last year. Loads of people to chat with who are all roughly at the same point in their journey.
Here is the August 25 thread…

Wow that’s amazing well done you 👏

I’m expecting mine tomorrow 😬

Fantastic thank you so much greatly appreciated x

Yep, I'm two weeks in. Haven't lost a thing. But my backs not sore as I turn over in bed at night, nor when I get up in the morning, so I must have shifted some weight ...

I have just ordered Mounjaro tonight... I have no idea what I'm doing but the weight has to go, I've lost 3 stone either way Slimming World but hit a wall with disordered eating, food noise being my problem

I had this too within the first weeks, I think from reading loads about it, it’s the inflammation subsiding. I’ve stopped walking across the room like I’m 85 instead of 45 when I first get up. And I no longer seize up in position and have huge pain to roll over when I wake. This stuff does so much more than just weight loss - I am impatient for the research to catch up and explain why!

The monthly threads are so supportive - use the link someone shared earlier to join your August starters one. And search the older ones for info you need. Well done you just made the best decision 😊

since I started, every month when I take a dose, I also take my blood pressure and fasted blood sugar. I’ve found it really encouraging to see those come down alongside my weight. If you are able, I would recommend anyone to do the same for any new starter, for that extra boost! The equipment isn’t a huge investment for what I think is valuable information.
(Two months and both are back under control for me, without medication except the WLI. My BP had been far too high and sugar was prediabetic)
