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

Brilliant @CoolLimeSheep you have done so well.

@Mounjaroday amazing - I'm glad you've found the space and strength to ask for help. Hopefully counselling aids you without having to medicate. It worked for me.

I received possibly my biggest compliment this week. A colleague asked if I'd lost weight and was saying how well I looked, when a new colleague said, "I've only ever known her this size so I thought that's how she always looked." I think I look like someone that was fat and lost weight so I was thrilled to know that others don't view me the same way - maybe sad, I'm not sure, but I'm happy with it.

Wotcher, warriors! So nice to see posts on our thread again!

I’m down to just under 10 stone now. In fact 9 stone 12. This is incredible to me as I have not been this weight for at least 40 years. Still going to the gym and seeing some improvement in the loose skin and general tone of my body, 5 months after reaching goal. Tbh and false modesty aside, I look incredible for 58!

Still on the MJ, maintaining at 5mg, and can’t see me coming off. I am so grateful for this amazing, life changing drug and so proud of us all, wherever we are in the journey! 💐

Lovely to hear so many are at target and maintaining. I have had a plateau for a while now. I have lost 6 stone but still need another stone or so to get into the healthy range of BMI. But I have gained and lost the same couple of pounds and not made any progress for a couple of months. Finally decided although I want to stay on a lower dose-never been over 5mg and lost the majority on 2.5mg, I need to go up for the final push.
Got a 5mg with a golden dose so will see if I can get an intermediate dose later this week. Then I have a 7.5mg ready to go. I may just count clicks for maybe an intermediate dose or see how I go.

Once at target I plan to increase exercise more and work on fitness. Then titrate to as low as I can and maintain. Woukd like to come off eventually but not sure if that’s a possibility for me. May try going further apart on doses instead.

So great to read updates from everone. We have all done so well, whether at goal or not, there are some fantastic achievements between us, each and every one

I am still in a healthy BMI range and have started slowly reducing my doses. I am in no rush, although it's been a few months since I ordered a pen, so might struggle if I need more. The hope is not to. I am taking 7.5mg from a 15mg pen and ready to move down to 6.75mg (pen isn't even half used yet), plus I have a full 7.g pen.

I feel settled at a size 10 and although I am at the top of the healthy BMI I don't think I need to lose more weight as such (quite muscular so small for weight). I don't have major issues with loose skin, but it is a little loose to the point I couldn't wear a bikini or cropped top, so I would like to see some improvement there. Reassuring to hear that some of you have noticed this improving with time

Good to hear everyone back! What a funny journey this is.
I'm still on WG, stuck to 1.7mg for ages as i was marathon training, pretty much maintained throughout the whole training block where i know people gained 4/5 kilos!
Anyway, i've just ordered a 2.4mg as i'm ready to shift the last bit now and plan to come off (or at least down to proper maintenance).
Current weight is between 67 and 68kg. Target is 63kg....
Oh, did i mention that i ran a whole flippin marathon! 🥳🤣🥳🤣🥳

Wowsers, @ThatJoyousHazelDuck! Bloody well done! 🏆💐

You legend @ThatJoyousHazelDuck so happy for you!!!!

Wow wow wow wow @ThatJoyousHazelDuck that's bloody amazing! Well done 🎉🎉

I'm signing up for my local 10k for next year in the hopes to give me focus on something.
