Mounjaro Feb 2025 starters (thread 8!)

[Mounjaroday]

Roll up, roll up (if you can, you skinny Minnie’s!) to all the brave WL warriors still battling on and hanging on in there.

8 months in … welcome to thread 8! 🥰

This thread I pledge:
to do two exercise sessions per week.
(There I’ve said it. Better do it now, hadn’t I).

Goal:
Find an amazing dress to wear for an awards ceremony I am going to in November.

Anyone else got any particular targets?

Big love to you all x

i have now got to target, but want to wean myself off Mounjaro, I know it’s been posted a million times already but I can not find the guide to counting clicks from the pens. Could someone post it again please 🙏 xx

@HangryGreenGoose

I am terrified of coming off MJ. I’ve been on 10mg for a few months, and still have 4 more 10mg in the fridge as well as a 5 and a 7.5.

if like to lose another stone, and then start to taper, but I have no idea what that looks like. I’m frightened of feeling starving all the time. Has my stomach not shrunk?

I have another 10mg pen being delivered in Dec. I won’t be able to buy another one if I don’t reorder probably end of Jan… this one is coming from Oushk…

I'm scared of coming off it too, if that helps. Next week will be my last dose of 5mg. And then I will either do another 5mg pen and try to stretch it out a bit longer, or go down to 2.5mg. I only have about 1kg left to lose. But the freedom of MJ has been brilliant. I can feel a bit of the hunger coming back, but I do have the discipline to not eat too much, at least at the moment! I just can't imagine what it will feel like to actually go it alone.

Im scared too, hence why am going down mg pen each month and ive been on injections 16 months, i do feel my stomach has shrank inside guess were all a little scared of going back but we've all made awesome changes so I think we will all be fine 🙂

I don’t think I can come off, at least for now. It’s been more than 30 years of fat and that’s a lot of adjusting for my tired old body to do. I’ve gone down to 5mg now, and am letting myself have a few more treats here and there (a genuine Portuguese custard tart from a specialist bakery the other day - incredible!)

I am maintaining at around 10.4 - 10.7, depending on when I weigh. Feels comfortable for now. The cost is stinging a lot more than the needle, let me tell you!😂

Massive respect to those warriors going or about to go solo. Please keep sharing 💐

I'm so scared to come off... my sweet tooth hasn't subsided enough yet, even if my waistline has!

In all honesty i still have my crisps never will give them up have all way through! Spoke to gym instructor for advice on maintaining as i really dont want lose anymore have my excess on belly which defo wont go down but happy with it and now got a little excess top of thighs inside which I feel a little insecure about so dont want lose anymore. She said I had to maintain 2000 calories which right now I couldnt imagine at all as I know I dont consume that at all. I do know our brain is worst enemy. You cant give up everything or the cravings will kick in and I guess even tho we've put so much work in we dont really beleive in ourselves at time

I've weighed myself every day this week and I have been 12st 3lb each and every time, no fluctuations. That's just mad! I think that's been nearly four weeks I've stayed that weight but I've never not had fluctuations before. I've checked the scales and they seem to be working fine!

Spamming threads with discount codes is banned. As well you know!

I was so depressed about my parenting I just ate five of those mini iced fruit cake bars in 24 hours.

Hello all!

I had my 40th party at the weekend and it was a blast, and amazingly I loved every single one of the photos! I never thought I'd get here, honestly.

I am now going on holiday to continue the celebrations, so I still haven't jabbed and won't again till I'm back as I just want to relax and enjoy myself. I am already eating more but I don't want to be worrying about side effects etc while I'm celebrating

So inspired by everyone else!

@SpiralSister im really sorry I never knew ill delete it

@SpiralSisterif u knew i wouldn't have done it obviously and i dont need to explain myself to u as u cant take a sorry

Right ho.

In other, less mad news, my mum died today. I’m completely ok. I do notice I have no desire to stuff my face or neck the wine though, which I definitely would have done pre-MJ.

Might have a Talisker nightcap mind you!

I’m so sorry for your loss @SpiralSister 💐

Happy birthday @sweetpickle2 🥳

Seems as my partner works away we miss it every month blood test check egg reserves so see what say on 4th dec going forward

So sorry, @SpiralSister . Hope you’re ok. 🙏🏻

Oh @SpiralSister 🥲 I’m so sorry

I just wanted to say how ridiculous the scales are. I weighed myself as I got up this morning, after I’d had a week, naked: 12 st 8.5
then I had a cup of tea and weighted myself again 30 mins later, naked 12 st 12
then, I had another wee and got dressed in my gym clothes and weighed myself again: 12 st 13 !!

scales in the same place on the floor, what on Earth is the logic there? That just shows doesn’t it, a fluctuation of nearly 5 lbs over the course of 1 hour….

I am, thank you @WoolerOwl. I feel very heavy at the thought of the admin though.

It was a complicated relationship. But very glad she had a peaceful passing, at home. And a very long life - she was an extremely feisty bird!

Sorry for your loss @SpiralSister - I know what its like to lose someone when you have a complicated relationship, the grief isn't as straightforward somehow but it is still there! Hope you've got lots of support around you.

I understand complicated, @SpiralSister . Commiserations, as well as condolences, in that case.

In other news, I am 0.1kg away from goal.

For everybody scared to come off Mounjaro... I've done it.

I last jabbed 4 weeks ago and I had been on 10mg

I was close to GW (wanted to get just under 70kg) and am now hovering between 68.8 and 70.5 kg (I weigh at least three times a week)
I haven't experienced a massive change in appetite. Still have smaller portions, I must have got used to eating more salads and vegetables and I continue to do so and make sure I have enough protein and fibre. I continue to drink a lot of water
My big downfall and definite addiction was chocolate. I do eat a tiny bit of that (and def feel like wanting to eat it now) but don't want it nowhere near as before.

Good luck everybody.
