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. 🫣

Definitely!

@Moosey898i did the same too, moved my jab day forward, took first 5 shot this morning around 9.30 this morning, had a bloody quarter pounder with cheese for lunch!

so I have to say I thought it wasn’t gonna work but hell I do not feel like eating at all now. I did have a nice breakfast of Greek yoghurt, berries and oats so I’m way under my calories but I just can’t face eating anything at the moment, I’m also really tired.

anyone else gone up to 5 yet?

@Elliebearblueshmm it’s hard to tell isn’t it? Maybe try 3.75 for another week to make sure your rid of any viruses and see how you feel, I don’t think it matters that you didn’t stay at the full 4 weeks at 2.5, the last week I took my 2.5 4 days early, then used the golden dose of 2.5, so maybe it is just you’ve been unwell

I would have thought If it was the jab I would have fallen ill sooner as the jab was Monday and I was absolutely fine until Friday. Think I’ll stick at 2.5mg Monday play it safe again like this week then move up my dose the following week as I would have been on MJ 4 weeks then and the 3.75mg will be my 5th jab … my pharmacist supplier was like 3.75 isn’t a dose 🙈 x

Omg this is crazy - I took fist jab weds pm - SW 14st.4

Saturday morning weigh in - 13.13

I have been low carbing and seeing a PT at the gym for the last year and a half and just bobbed up and down with the same 2lbs.

I am SO excited to be in the 13’s!! 🎉

Absolutely amazing! It’s lovely getting into the lower bracket stone weight!

That sounds like a plan @Elliebearbluesand hopefully you’ll be feeling much better.
@StrongLikeMamma fantastic! I’m so excited to get into the 13’s, I bet you feel great and really motivated to keep going

since taking my 5 yesterday I’ve had great suppression, not craving and eating clean, I’m taking my kids swimming today, ok, I look like a whale and I hope I don’t bump into anyone I know but I’m going to do it despite looking hideously fat in my costume!

Hi all! So excited to see everyone's progress here 🙂

I was wondering how everyone has found week three? I have felt much more bloated and constipated (tmi!) And also my weight loss hasn't budged for a week! Anyone else in similar boat?

Week 3 here and no real side effects by my god the hunger pangs 😧 . Can't wait to get started on 5mg now.

Week 2 here and definitely less suppression than week 1, and feeling a bit rubbish/tired.

Week 3 for me just starting this weekend - holding up ok on the 2.5! When I feel a bit hungry I just go for a walk 😅 more steps and takes me away from the food in the house haha

So glad the supression is great on 5mg, did you go straight to 5mg or do a 3.75mg dose first, I can’t remember if you said 🙈

My weight loss is so slow 4.2lbs in 3 weeks and I haven't really had any supression either. I’ll be doing my 4th dose on Monday at 2.5mg then definitely moving up and hope I see a difference. Just insure whether to go to 3.75mg or 5mg. Hope you’re feeling less bloated and constipated soon. Also did you measure before you started your weight loss journey I did so at the end of week 4 I’ll re measure to see if I’ve lost inches.

I found as the weeks went on I had less supression too.

I didn't actually but can feel my clothes a bit looser. Not hugely but a touch! Tbh I'm also weighing too often and should focus on the bigger pic xx
4 pounds is not nothing! I think that's great progress and better to be steady than fast I expect long term x

@Shitzngigglesi went up to 5 yesterday and the suppression is so much better, I’ve batched cooked as I have missed meals so due to not being hungry it’s the first time I’ve felt it since starting MJ.

@Sunshinesally77week 3 was a bit meh, I felt hungry a lot of the time, was ready to increase my dose

@Elliebearblues I went straight up to 5, I am an impatient person though and because I’ve had no side effects I wanted to increase, also I was always hungry on 2.5, I have lost weight every week though.

I’ve been having 10-15g of chai seeds everyday so avoided the constipation and I also add ground flaxseed to things like soups, yogurt or cereal and it’s helped a lot with the bloating too.

@Clumsykitten the first few weeks were a bit rubbish for me too, was so tired (still am), also hungry a lot of time, stick with it, are you taking any supplements or vitamins? I’m taking a multivitamin and protein powder plus chai seeds everyday and seems to help

I didn’t lose in my first week and just had my second dose. I was gaining weight before though so I am taking it as a win.

Hows everyone doing?
Lost another 3lb this week! 11 pounds in total so far! It wore off today though, and I treated myself to a (bunless) burger. Still, I need the iron right?

4th Jab tomorrow morning and need to decide whether to go up to 5mg or start with 3.75... what is everyone else doing?

A bunless burger is a part of a healthy balanced diet, no need to feel bad about it at all! This journey is about finding sustainable eating habits too to keep the weight off long term 😊

Congratulations on your loss so far! When I was on MJ earlier this year I just went up for my second pen, so 4 x 2.5mg followed by 4 x 5mg. I didn't have any issues or side effects.

Hello everyone.
I’m desperate to start on Mounjaro but don’t know who to buy from.
Ive looked into many sellers but honestly have no idea.
All have said I qualify - 5’6 and 112kg and I think I’m going to book a 15 minute consultation with Juniper as they seem to be quite trustworthy.

Has anyone tried them or have any recommendations for me please?
Many thanks x x

Thanks!
Great you didnt have any side effects :) fingers crossed for the same

I haven't tried them.. I'm currently with chequp. I had to send in a picture, and then they asked for another picture at a different angle. Once it was approved, the medication arrived the next day. Second also arrived the day after I ordered it, so no issues so far. If you decide you want to try them, let me know as I can refer you for £50 off. Alternatively, let me know how juniper are as I plan to shop around :)

Do you know if you get the scales if you switch over to them from another provider? Or only if you're just starting?

@narcASDthanks for the reminder about chia seeds! I could use something to move things along. Will put some in my breakfast smoothie tomorrow!
