May 2025 Starters Thread 6 - We’re all totes protes now ✌️

[FlorenceNightshade]

As requested a protein and fibre filled shiny new thread for us!!

I’m 5’7” and 2 stones down on 5mg; I managed to buy an extra pen at 7.5mg. I’m going to stay at 5mg and use for longer, going up as I need. I am mindful I’ll need to reorder within 2 months or so.
I aim to carry on with Mounjaro until I’ve lost another 2.5 stones.
In kg: SW 98.5 CW 87 and GW 70
I ache less / have more energy; I’m looking forward to reducing my size more from now on. I’ve just gone from 20 to 18 so far.

Marking my spot here! Thank you @FlorenceNightshade

@kiwianeWe have similar stats! I started at 97kg and i am now at 86. Goals weight is between 65 and 70kg. Taking a mini break atm

Thanks for the shiny new thread.

@DidILeaveTheGasOn has your 7.5mg MJ flu settled? I have put off moving up to 7.5mg for another month because I am a bit concerned about how I will react to it. Feel slightly trapped - ahead is the prospect of SE on an increased dose, but all the time I have the lid of the biscuit tin snapping at my heels and getting closer and louder all the time.

Thanks for the new thread! I’ve been on 7.5 for 6 weeks now and it’s kicking my butt. I’m very tired after jab day for 3 days but it works very well so loathe to go back down. I only get hungry on two days before jab day, and then it’s manageable. I’ve got enough stock to get me to goal then I will be tapering off, that’s the plan !

Morning all!!

Thanks for the new thread!!

Feeling much more in control of my inner toddler this morning after a good night sleep!!

hopeful of a day filled with fluid, fibre & fun opposed to my manic moaning munchie day yesterday!!

Marking the thread x

Morning everyone! 🦄

Morning losers
Thank you for the new thread.

Been an extremely busy week for me travelling for work. Meal planning was tricky. STS weight wise but at least i didn’t gain.
stats are
SW 13’3
CW 11’2
GW 10

Using 5mg but planning on going slowly up to 7.5mg.

Good morning everyone! Thanks for the new thread!

inspired by others sharing I don’t think I’ve shared my stats before so here I go…
age: 46
height: 5’6”
SW: 228.8lbs
CW: 198.6lbs
GW: 165lbs (at first then see)

yesterday hit the 30lb mark which was super exciting and in a few more pounds will be halfway. I’ve never done this well before so MJ is truly magic!

But the support from all of you guys here has also been instrumental. Thank you!

onwards and downwards! Elephants penis!

@FlorenceNightshade thank you for finding that again! I also love that I can ‘shout’ elephants penis randomly here and people know what I’m talking about!

currently at cheese and American eats in a year - oooof, I don’t even like cheese! 😮‍💨

Still floundering around a whale's brain here, but I know it will come off when it's ready so I can get to the world's largest ball of tape!

Inbetween a human leg & elephants heart for me 😂

@HKG I’m at an Elephants Heart! Who’d have thunk that’s its penis was heavier than its heart????

@FlorenceNightshade hahhaha, I was about to make a joke a joke about that but I might get deleted and/or cancelled?! But you have made me chuckle!

@notgonnafail what motivation!! Largest ball of tape here you come!

@Seahorsesplendour who on Earth thought we’d ever hear those two things in the same sentence?!?!

Morning! Jumping in to placemark.
One more day of the cafe being open for the school holidays, then I go back to weekends. I’ll hopefully have more time to up the exercise. I’ve got a sponsored walk at the café tomorrow, which I’m leading, so that’s a start. I’ve got to make a load of afternoon teas for them tonight,

@HKG May need to adjust my goal weight so I can aim for either a gold brick or a newborn calf! The tape isn't motivating me much 😆

@notgonnafail a golden calf!!!

Think I’m going to have to go up to 7.5 next time. Although I still feel exhausted, sick and with a dodgy stomach for the first few days, my weight has been stable for weeks now. It has completely plateaued and I can’t seem to get it moving again. Hopefully 7.5 will kick-start things again.

Morning all! I'm starting the new thread with a NSV - I fit comfortably in my old gym kit! I was worried about camel-toe, but it's all good.

@DBatteryBand I'm in exactly the same situation. If I count clicks down to a dose where I don't get side effects, I can't control my eating and it's like I'm back to not taking MJ.

Hmmm. Not sure whether to switch to Wegovy. Or I could just have a complete break and restart maybe.

Thanks for posting that Florence. I am also hovering around a whale’s brain, but the car tyre is in sight. Have a good weekend all - it looks like it will be too wet here to do much outside unfortunately.

OMG didn’t realise you’d all moved over already !
Thanks, @FlorenceNightshade .
Stupidly posted a query on the former thread , if any of you could have a look I’d greatly appreciate it, thanks xx

Loving all the losses, and the mental pictures.
Maybe not the elephant’s penis, or sperm
whale’s brain though …. 🤯😳.
I’m a (grumpy) bald eagle at the moment, with ambitions to be a cinder block (what the heck is that?).
Was hoping for an afternoon’s gardening but it seems the weather has other plans.

Loving this new thread. I am hovering around a car tyre but need to get to a Whales brain!
I have been in Spain 10 days now and have only lost 1.2lbs.
My daughter and family have been here so we have eaten out a lot and had a few wines, but now they have gone I will try to get into a better routine. You would of thought it would be easier in the sun, where we can get out and exercise and swim so I need to not think of it as a holiday.
I still only lose about 0.5 to 1kg a week, so very slow, I am so jealous of reading of these 3lbs losses, but happy that you are doing well.
I am now 71.7kg and I once got to 68kg with WW but was so fed up I gave up and then it all came back on again! I am determined now I have started with MJ I will not make the same mistake. I really don’t want to have wasted all this money.
I have 2 7.5mg pens and a 10, but I don’t think this will get me to my goal, but hopefully with just another pen after these I might possibly get to my goal. Fingers crossed. Have a great weekend everyone
