October ‘25 starters

[cheekysausage123]

Bit premature but planning on starting with Mounjaro in next week or so.

I’ve struggled with my weight for the majority of my life and despite having periods of being within the realms of ‘healthy’ weights, these have been difficult to get to and v hard to maintain. I’m now keen to sort things out, once and for all before I’m 40. (Given myself a buffer as currently 36…) 😅

SW: 14st 7lb
1st GW: 13st

Here for support, tips and anything else helpful along the way. 🫣

One more day of blood thinner injections! Then I can start up my MJ again 🙏🏼 so excited for Monday to get started again!

You need to make sure you leave at least 72 hours (3 days) between doses from what I’ve read xx

I started Mounjaro this evening. Fingers crossed!

Welcome @FlibbertyGibbitt@Purplephase

Nearly there @Moosey898☺️

@RachSt12 Friday is my next dose of 2.5ml and will use the diabetic needle to get the other 2,5.

i do feel a bit sick today, really tired too

Happy Sunday all!

I’ve weighed in and lost again so that’s something. -3.6lb so down 8.2lb in total from two weeks ago. 🥳

Need to do my 3rd jab when OH gets up.

@cheekysausage1238lb in two weeks that’s amazing! Lost 1.5kg in a couple of days since first jab so hoping for a similar 7-8 lb over a couple of weeks

Hi joining this thread. I was approved yesterday online Pending pharmacist phone all on Tuesday which I think is just a final discussion on risks etc. Due to some work travel I might not start till end of October in Case of side effects.

great to see the results here from those just starting. My BMi is just over 30 but in reality I should be 3st lighter though I’d be ecstatic with losing 2.

Welcome! Very new here too, just three days in to MJ. This morning I was super tired after a very disturbed sleep with my toddler so went for a big breakfast sandwich- would usually demolish it and enjoyed it but only wanted half! Early days but definitely seeing what people mean a bit about the food noise starting to quiet (though gradually for me) ❤️ I’m also using the Glucopal app which I really like in case helpful for anyone xx

Great loss @cheekysausage123 well done.

Hi I started Monday and was for lose roughly the same , my BMI is around the same too. Good luck xx

That’s fantastic well done xx

Good luck let us know how you get on xx

Hi all, my supression has definitely gone away I think I snacked for Wales yesterday 🙈. I’m going to try and keep a rein on my meals for the next two days as I’ve decided I think I need to move jab day to Tuesday to give me more supression on the weekends as that’s my downfall in terms of snacking in the evening. I want the jab early enough so it won’t interfere with me having a few glasses of wine, but enough so I won’t snack. It’s trying to get a balance isn’t it?
it’ll be week 2 next week so I suppose it’s only just building up in my system.

Me too. How do you feel this morning?
I don’t feel hungry at all. Slept for 12 hours but no side effects so far.

Welcome new people good luck! DH and I had our 3rd jab this morning. We do it first thing Sunday. We are able to have a wee wine or gin Saturday night that way (still less than before!). Also I don’t find any effect on sleep (as some of you were mentioning disturbing their sleep).

He has lost 10lb and I have lost 5.8lb in 2 weeks!

That's great, well done!

I'm fine today, no hunger or side effects right now. 🤞🏻

@Purplephase welcome! Glad you feeling well

@cheekysausage123 Well dang, killing it x

@StealthMama Welcome onboard, hope it all goes well.

@Calyx72 That's great. Well done to you both

@cheekysausage123 @whensmynexthol1day good to hear things are going well! Can I ask what your starting BMIs are? I would love to lose 2 stone (currently my BMI is around 30.9), that's if I don't get pregnant. First goal is to lose 5kg to be safely under BMI for my IVF.

i started at bmi 27.3 @Moosey898

Mine was 33.9 and now 32.5 - I want to get it to about 24.9 - I’m 5ft6 and 14st 1.8lb

Thanks both that's amazing! I'm hoping for similar results from the first couple of weeks 🙏🏼

I managed to loose 7lbs this week, Im totally amazed. I took the second jab this morning and feeling really sick and so tired now, I originally wondered if I was hungry but I had some food and it’s made it worse. Drinking lots and lots of water, I’m sure it will pass ☺️

That’s a brilliant loss! Well done!

I felt rough after my jab this am too @RachSt12 and quite anxious - can’t remember who reported it but I felt really on edge for a short while, feeling brighter now thankfully.

Hey @cheekysausage123 , I feel exactly the same. I’ve felt on edge all week and didn’t really put it together until someone else posted on here.
Pleased you feel brighter now and tomorrow back to normal ☺️
