What day of the week do you jab?

I'm just wondering what day of the week (and time of the day) you have chosen to take your mounjaro/wegovy? And why, please?

I'm starting soon and trying to work out what's best from a side effect/suppression point of view.

Wednesday but that just happens to be the day I got back from holiday. Ideally Thursday would be best as I tend to get a bit tired on the second day so I’ve got more chance to rest at the weekend

Plump82 · 16/09/2025 17:54

A Tuesday and only because I worked out that was the best day to only need to take one needle on my 10 day holiday.

Friday mornings for no other reason than convenience.

Friday evening so that I get the best suppression/worst side effects over the weekend while I am not at work. Much easier to control my eating habits on working days if the suppression wears off, and if the side effects are strong it's also easier to deal with them at home.

HansHolbein · 16/09/2025 18:01

Thursday, to keep things under control over the weekend.

wendywoopywoo222 · 16/09/2025 18:01

All different for me as I inject every ten days.

SilenceInside · 16/09/2025 18:14

Friday morning, for reasons pretty much the same as @RenegadeKeeblerElf.

Comedycook · 16/09/2025 18:15

Friday

MrsMiagi · 16/09/2025 18:34

Wednesday mornings. Full effect kicks in Thursday/Friday but busy with work so not eating alot doesn't bother me. Weekend the supression wears off a little so I can still enjoy family meals. Monday and Tuesday busy with work so if supression wears off more it's easier to ignore because I am busy with work again by then.
I had to jab a bit later once and it threw me out of sync! Would never change the day again lol

TheChosenTwo · 16/09/2025 18:37

Friday or Saturday, I started on a Saturday and other than a few adjustments when I’ve gone on holiday midweek it’s been pretty much the same every week.
I’ve never really had any side effects which have meant I needed to alter jab day, I’ve been cold throughout!

VelociraptorsVelociRapping · 16/09/2025 18:39

Sunday or Monday evening for maximum suppression in the working week.

Marylou2 · 16/09/2025 19:06

Friday morning, i think my first delivery arrived on a thursday so this was initially the reason. Works well for me with good suppression over the weekend and early week.

hows that boring. lol

Fatandfluffy · 16/09/2025 19:31

Wednesday at the moment. So I can enjoy my food a bit more at weekend but still not be starving and go crazy.

I’ve done it all different days though - you can shift it about if it doesn’t suit

ResusciAnnie · 16/09/2025 19:32

Wednesday nights because I need the suppression most over the weekend.

happygertie · 16/09/2025 19:34

I inject Thursday morning as my optimal suppression / reduced cravings land in a weekend when I am more likely to have something unhealthy if I didn’t have the help of mounjaro.

FurForksSake · 16/09/2025 19:35

I jab every 8 days as I’m near to goal and maintaining. When I jabbed weekly it was always a Friday so that any side effects were over the weekend.

slightlysmallerPoisonIvy · 16/09/2025 20:16

Saturday morning because I'm not usually at work at the weekend so just in case I have any side effects

NorthernEmma · 16/09/2025 20:44

Sunday afternoon/evening. I like to have maximum suppression in the week when I’m at work, and then a bit less suppression on the weekend for eating meals with my family. Although to be honest I still struggle to finish a full meal even on day 7 of each jab.

PearlsPearl · 16/09/2025 20:52

Same as above, I do Sunday evenings because it wears off by the following weekend, which I want, as I tend to eat out with family etc on weekends and want to enjoy my food. If I’ve been on plan all week then I enjoy relaxing over the weekend and eating more.

Works for me! Also I’ve read a few different times that it’s good for your metabolism to have the odd day here and there of higher calories to keep it guessing and not lower its usual point. So I take this at its word and always tend to eat more and really enjoy my food every Sunday. Losing weight well and consistently so I’m happy.

thecatsthecats · 16/09/2025 21:03

I just started on Tuesdays, because I WFH and boredom eat/do my main exercise during the week while my son's at nursery.

I'm chasing him around a lot at the weekend and tend to eat simple "toddler meals" with him for every meal, so much easier to manage, I hope.
