Mounjaro 10st or more to lose Thread 7

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

Can't believe we've got to 7 threads, but all are welcome!

That is a brilliant NSV!

Morning everyone!

I had the best day at my brother’s wedding 💖 thanks for all of the well wishes. I felt ok in my dress and everyone was very nice about it!! So lovely being with my family.

Now to face all the trains home. There’s 4 today as it’s Sunday service. Urgh

GLAd you had a great time. That does sound like a journey
Maybe you can sleep in the train, or is your child with you?

That sounds awful, @Quitepossibly. How are you feeling this am?

@eibbed999 love the photo!

@PearlsPearl good luck with the journey home.

A NSV for me. DH and I went to the cinema yesterday. And shared one of those roomy for most people but not for the morbidly obese sofas. And it was roomy! We had a cushion between us!

Hello, everyone. I’ve been reading this thread for a while, but realised I’ve never posted on it. I’ve gained a lot from what I’ve read, so thank you.
I started on 1st June, so 3 months in and doing well so far.

SW 21st 11lbs
CW 19st 3lbs
so 2st 8lbs lost so far.

My interim goal is 17st 9lbs as that would take my BMI into the 30s.

I’m not sure of my eventual goal, but maybe 11 stone aspirationally. But 13 stone would be great compared to nearly 22!!

I had really fast loss at first, then was away doing nice things quite a bit over the summer holidays, which usually is very food-centred. I was really surprised that I was still able to eat things that were “treats” and it didn’t ruin shared experiences with my family, which had worried me before. If I’d known how it would be taking MJ I would have started a lot earlier, instead of always thinking, “just wait until after Christmas, X’s birthday, Easter, etc!

Anyway, when I was away I was not strict on food and didn’t put on any weight, so that’s good.

The main thing I’ve noticed is that usually as soon as I have an occasion where I “have” to have something “bad” to eat, it sends me off the rails. I think “now this day/week/month is ruined - I’ll just carry on and eat bad things.”

But on MJ that doesn’t happen and that’s the big difference for me - I can have a something if I decide I want to and then I’m just back to normal. I still enjoy things when I eat them, but I’m never craving crisps/chocolate/cakes etc at all.

Anyway, since I’m back to normal life again I’ve dropped quite a few pounds in the last couple of weeks.

I noticed when I was playing tennis the other day how much I was running for shots that I wouldn’t have been able to before, so that’s was really positive. One person I work with has said I looked like I had lost weight (I haven’t been discussing it with anyone) so that’s positive, although I don’t think I look hardly any different I’m subscribing to the kitchen roll theory I read on here!

Forgot to say, I’m only on 5mg at the moment. I gradually moved up through the 3s and 4s using a 5mg pen, and last Sunday’s jab is the first one I did the full 5mg. I’m hoping to stay on 5 for a while.

Welcome to the thread @KillerMounjaro. In case anyone was worried, or wondered I saw on another thread that the lady that came over recently and was concerned about being the heaviest has taken one jab and decided to stick to a keto diet instead. I lost about six stone in keto years ago, so it definitely worked but it was so expensive and my cholesterol went through the roof and I got NAFLD as well. But I am just a sample if one and support anyone who is trying to improve their life.

I finally left the Oushk socials as there are too many sanctimonious people on their with their fake concern. ' why would you want to do something that's against the manufacturers guidance ' errm maybe because we are not all loaded and need to eek it out a bit. Grr I am at peace now.

Good morning losers!

Hello @KillerMounjaro sounds like you are doing well!

I had a crazy spending spree yesterday, but quite a bit will be used in December (not mentioning the c word!). It was great fun!

I went looking at Next. SO many lovely new clothes to look at! If I wasn’t losing weight I’d definitely be buying some new clothes. As it is, Vinted and under-the-bed storage are where it’s at right now!

This is my first weekend in a while that is not either full of stuff to do or me writing my dissertation and I’m enjoying the relaxation. I might start the sorting of my clothes since summer is nearly over and I won’t need the light stuff. And the things I’ve grown out of need to be shifted. This time they’re being sorted for donation and sale, not to come back out next year…that’s a good feeling.

I’ve eaten more/differently this weekend due to guests from America staying who wanted to try British things (so full English, cream tea, fish and chips, pie and mash) and I’m beating myself up about it. I ate small portions and I don’t think my calories were too out of whack but it’s messed with my routine and what I know works.

Rationally I know having a couple of more relaxed days won’t hurt l, just need to get back on it now, but in my head I feel like I’ve put all my weight back on. Blargh.

Sound the NSV klaxon! 🚨

I’ve just put a new hole in my belt!

Oh I hate that feeling. Deep breaths @afaloren you won’t have put it all back on. And you are ‘allowed’ to eat those things. AND you had smaller portions.

Are you wanting to get back into the routine now or is it still destabilising you, d’you think?

Yay!

Wahoo for all the NSV.

I'm still in bed 😳. I'm feeling very lethargic and fatiguey and about to make myself move.

I'm not sure if it's going up to 10 on mounjaro (third dose) or Life Things. Or doing more than I used to and wearing myself out. It's the beginning of term for me and I have a ton of prep I need to do this afternoon.

Anyone else find mounjaro causes fatigue - and have ways to counter it? I hope it goes away as I need to stay on this another year 😳.

I used to have to nap a lot in the beginning but you have been on it a while. Could it be a 🦠 virus

My NSV - yesterday I bought a pair of size 18 trousers and then went out wearing them yesterday evening!

So happy! Still a long way to go, but one of my main targets was to be able to routinely shop in regular shops

Just cleaned my house top to bottom,in 2 hours ..
Wow .. impressed myself
Sales on summer clothes
Trying to work out what size I will be next summer ,to snap up some bargains
Weight loss is so ssssslllloooowwwww...can't figure it out

Yes me ,about the only side effect I got was very tired and hair loss .
Vitamins,I make sure I'm not lacking any ,buy a good quality one .
I'm on 15 mg ,and I don't seem as tired as lower doses
Hope you feel better soon x

Hi! Well done on the house cleaning.
I love doing it.

Re - your weightloss being slow - you've lost 8st plus. Your rate of loss is absolutely going to slow down. I've lost 8st and my loss rate is very slow now. About 2-3lb/month.

I haven't tried the suppositories or enema but I think I may have to as the Laxido and senna did nothing overnight. I know I'm fat but my lower abdomen is so swollen (much more so than normal!) it's making moving really difficult; any core muscles I did have definitely aren't coping! Wasn't able to eat anything yesterday but have just managed a little soup. And today's my birthday... feeling very sorry for myself. On the plus side, I've lost 4lb in less than 48 hours!

On the plus side, I've lost 4lb in less than 48 hours!

You'll lose more when you've used the suppositories.

What's stopping you from using them?
It's quick and easy and you get a result in a couple of minutes. The longer you leave it, the more painful it's going to be.

Also @Autumnflowers2 taking 2 senna only, when you haven’t been for several days, is useless.

You need 4 tabs every 4 hours, for it to work. But as I say, you need to attack this from the other end.

I'm a retired midwife and I've dealt with a lot of severe constipation issues.

Tonight’s the night to jab after skipping last Sundays. And I’m nervous 😬 I want to get back to mj life helping me, but wouldn’t know how to cope if the side effects hit me like a train again. I’m only going to do 2.5 for at least a few weeks so hoping and hoping it’ll be ok.

Hi! How have found it, having a week off?
Did you eat a lot more?

Hello, I’ve tried to be quite relaxed about it all but I have been so hungry all week. And some of last week. My ‘off’ switch hasn’t been working but I’ve just tried to ignore the hunger.

It’s been extra hard this weekend because we’ve been away so living on convenience and hotel/pub food.

In all honesty I think I've just got scared of the pain. Even going for a wee is agony as it feels like something is pressing on my bladder. I've now ordered glycerin suppositories which are being delivered tomorrow. I'll also increase the senna. The out of hours GP just said to take 2 at bedtime so I just followed his recommendation. My mum had a tumour (thankfully now recovered following surgery & chemo) in the exact same place my pain started so I'm a bit fragile about it all.
