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

A bit stuck here myself. I lost most of my weight on 2.5mg. After about 6 months I ended up getting 5mg and counting clicks so went through 3mg then 3.75 then 4 and eventually at about a year in onto 5mg. Here I am at 16 months in. I’ve lost just over 6 stone and feel amazing. But I have stalled. I am in the overweight rather than obese category which is great, but I still need to lose about another stone to be in the healthy weight band. After about 5 weeks of nothing changing and feeling like the food noise was creeping up I went up to 7.5mg. Done a pen and golden dose on that and still nothing. I keep losing then putting back on the same 1lb.

Feel a bit stuck to be honest. I have upped my water and protein and fibre. I am counting and in deficit and getting suppression and being full on smaller portions still.

I am at the weight I was in my 30’s which is great and feel healthier and fitter. Down to size 12/14 clothes. Knees and hip pain gone, asthma way improved. I was lucky I was not diabetic or had high blood pressure at the start but feel the loses have pulled me back from the brink of both of those. Just spent the morning gardening and loved every second, just feel full of energy.

I am torn, it feels like I need to get down to the healthy band, but feels like my body is comfortable at this level and doesn’t want to go lower lol.

I don’t want to go higher on dose as the side effects are worse, first 2 weeks it really kicked my ass and even now get the headache and nausea for the first 24 hrs after. Feels like I am suffering for 1-2 days a week, but getting no where.

Anyone here have a long plateau? Any ideas of what I can do to get things moving again? Or do I just keep going and give it chance for my body to adjust.
