Shorties like me

[lulu1921]

Hi! if there’s a thread already please point me in the right direction 😄
I’m just curious for fellow shorties like me (4ft 11) what your goal weight might be?
I struggle to lose weight due to being a massive foody, I literally think about what I’m cooking for tea when I wake up, trouble is, over the years, cooking has also turned into me rewarding myself with a glass or two of wine and here I am, 11st 12. Well that was 2 weeks ago and I’m super pleased at losing 7lbs in 2 weeks on MJ.

Anyone else out there as short as me? 😛
I’d love to hear from you

Hi ! I'm 5'0'' and I started mid may weighing at 11st 7lbs so v. similar to you.
I haven't lost my weight as quickly as others but I think it's part and parcel of being short.
After 4 months I've lost 21 lbs (1 and a half stone) and have lost inches off my boobs, waist and hips. I feel so much better already and would never have done it without Mounjaro. I'm at least 1dress size down.
I've just graduated up to 4mgs. weekly.
Good luck 🤞

I’m 5ft and started last June at 16st 12. I hit goal in May and am now maintaining in the range of 8st - 8st 7.

My original goal was 9st but then I realised that a mere 2lbs more would mean a nice round 8 stone loss so went for it. Since then, my weight has drifted down a bit further (moving down doses now) and has settled in that range. At the bottom end, my belly shrinks whereas at the top, I have some boobs back😂 it’s a bit of a trade off!

I am quite well-muscled as have trained throughout and lift a fair bit.

I'm 4ft 11 and started MJ in August at 12st 8ib. I am now 11st 4ib. I am aiming for 9st 7ib at mo x

Wow you have done soooo well. Did you go right up the doses to 15 and now titrating down?

@Lifecircle sorry, only just saw this!

Thank you! Totally changed my life 😁

I actually only went as high as 10mg. I did the usual 4 weeks on 2.5, 20 on 5, 9 on 7.5 and the rest on 10mg.

I have now worked my way back down to 5 and waiting to see if I need to drop lower (looking ok at the moment as staying just above 8 stone).

I’ve been looking back at my weight WhatsApp group I used to do with a friend and I’ve got my first goal in mind
i lost my mum in 2021 and I was 10.7 so I’ve decided to get to my weight when I said goodbye to her. It’s a nice goal to get to and hopefully by Xmas.
just wish it want so expensive!

Today is weigh in day and I'm cock a hoop to have hit the 9's albeit 9st 13lbs and still officially overweight.
It's been soooooo many years since I was 9 something and I'm chasing my first goal weight of 9st 7lbs.
It's taken me 21 weeks but worth it. (I don't think I thought that on the days when I was surgically attached to the loo!!!)

@lulu1921 sorry on the loss of your Mum.
I lost my Dad in 2016 and it hurts doesn't it? X

5 Foot nothing and started MJ at 13 stone 7 pounds in Sept 2024 - I am 10 stone now but just can not seem to shift the last 8 pounds.

4’11”. Just hit my target weight of 9st, having started at 12st

Now working out how to taper off

im 5’2 and started at a little over 13 stone in Jan. Lost 4 stone now. Still got a belly so im not stopping yet. I have however switched to Weygovy as I was on 15mg of MJ and the price increase was too much.

I’m 5 foot zero with a start weight of 11 stone 5 in June. Current weight is 8stone 7. Target weight is 7 stone 7 to allow for some post-MJ weight gain. I am an apple with a family history of diabetes and heart disease and only seem to lose my ‘gut’ when I am 8 stone and below. Recently moved up to 5mg after a slow titration upwards from 2.5mg. Hoping to stay at 5mg until I lose the last stone and reach target. May need a little extra, though, to help me navigate my way through Christmas!

I'm 5ft 2 and began my journey at the start of September weighing 12st 9. I'm now down to 10st 6 after 8 weeks. My goal is to get to 8st 7!

@hidinginthebathroomagain how are you finding the switch? I've heard that the highest up on MJ you are the less effective wegovy is as apparently the highest dose of wegovy is only equivalent to around 7.5mg?

I'm 5 foot (sometimes nearer to 4-11 but let's go with 5 😂)

Starting weight was 14stone7 and now 7 months in I've lost just under 3 stone and currently weighing 11-10.

My first goal is 11-7 which was my pre COVID weight. My final goal is around 9-7 but I'm taking it one pound at a time. my lowest weight ever as an adult was 8-13 and that was about 20 years ago!

I’m just about 5’ 2’’ and was 14 stone 6 last November. Just coming up to Mounjarversary! Weight today 9 stone 8…..SOOO close to 5 stone. I chose to go through the doses, moving up every month and currently on 15mg. Apologies if I’m stating the obvious but BMR, TDEE etc are partly determined by height. I was shocked at how relatively low my calories are to be in deficit and, moving forward, to maintain. I had previously subscribed to the ‘on average women need 2000 calories a day’ information. I have used calorie counting in tandem with MJ because I don’t appear to have had the level of suppression that others have reported. It’s also helped in ensuring I’ve had enough protein and fibre every day.

Good so far. I have only had 2 jabs so far but no side effects with the swap at all. The suppression is the same. I want to lose another half a stone I think. Though currently on a AI holiday abroad which is testing. I jabbed 2 days before we left and didn’t bring the pen as I wanted 2 weeks off. I’m enjoying not going nuts at the buffet and only having 2/3 beers in the evening. The feeling of not being judged around the pool is priceless. Most of the bikinis I brought are hanging off me and I have no arse but meh it’s worth it. I had a range of swimwear from 10/12/14 and even some 16 bottoms. Only the 10/12 doesn’t look shit so I’m landed.

I'm 4ft 11 and started at 209lbs, am now 163lbs. This has taken around 16 months and I've not lost a pound in the last 5 😞 I'm on 15mg Mounjaro. I'm thinking of taking a break for a month or two and restarting.

5' 2 ish, but barely reach that. Started at end of March at 15st 3.8 lb and now at 11st 2.8lb. So 4st and 1lb loss.

I've kind of said goal is 5 stone but that's still not normal BMI but I'm not bothered by that too much as long as it's not 39 like it was.

5 foot and half an inch here!

Weigh about 11st & thinking of starting something - not sure what is best yet!

What do you ladies recommend medication-wise & how are you buying it?

MJ has been great for me but price hikes have made it an expensive option. Buy legally from a reputable provider. Check pharmacy registration etc - due diligence when it’s your health at stake, can’t be underestimated.
