November 2025 Mournjaro starters

[Nearlyamumoftwo]

I've just collected my first supply and wondered if anyone wanted to join in with the journey! I'm on 2.5 and I'm 14st1, goal weight is 12 stone as that is my pre baby weight and we'll see how I feel once I've reached it!

any tips on when to take it each week? I'm going to avoid alcohol and even though snacking is my weakness I think purchasing a supply is going to make me stop in a weird way. Any tips gratefully received and if anyone wants to join the journey for support and no judgment here's the place!

Didn't want much dinner, so that's good

What's happening with codes? By the way? Are they no longer allowed here?

I’m a bit annoyed with myself this evening, after a day of feeling like my appetite was a bit surpressed at mealtimes, I ended up having my usual evening snack binge! I could have just gone to bed as I wasn’t really hungry and was tired, I think it’s just a habit so ingrained in me and feels like my treat when the kids are finally asleep. Still just about on a deficit for the day but to be honest only what I could have managed pre MJ. Really hoping the second dose steps it up a gear on Tuesday.

@Springbaby2023 probs need to find another habit like knitting or something
I don't have it snack at home at all it's the office that's an issue and there's always junkfood lying around

I have just done my first weight in and I’ve lost 4kg. Which I am very happy about. Second jab has also been taken.
I had very good suppression and only started to even think I might be a tad hungry in the last 2 days. I didn’t have any side effects either. I do think I cut down my portions massively (for me) but I am not calorie counting and I haven’t snacked. I have tried to make healthy meals. Lots of lentils. Good start, but I guess it won’t be this big of a result usually.

I’ve been a little like this too. Have some mild suppression after first jab but feel like my habits to snack and eat larger portions need breaking. I was planning on getting some healthier options in to snack on perhaps.

I’m hoping for more suppression on the second job.

I’ve decided not to calorie count as I already eat pretty healthily. For me, I need to reduce portion and stop the evening snacking.

@MellowDreamer you’ve perfectly described my suppression in the first week. I still enjoy and think about food, feel hunger but not too distracting like before and it sometimes comes and goes in waves. I would normally wake up and be thinking about breakfast, now I do feel hunger but I can put it off and wait until almost dinner time.

@RoundandSad oh god I think I’d rather be fat than take up knitting, I’m terrible at it! I’m usually out exercising three evenings a week so it’s just the four I’m in. If it was as easy as distracting myself not to snack then I probably wouldn’t need the MJ, so I’m hoping the second dose helps more with this.

@Wethers121 I’m the same with portion sizes, we’ve got a Hello Fresh order and usually we do the four portion one and eat 1.5 portions each then 1 for leftovers. I’ve done it just for two people now so we can strictly stick to the portion size which I’m hoping will help. Usually I would then end up eating loads of snacks after but I’m hoping the MJ will stop that.

I'm similar to @MellowDreamer and @Wethers121 I think.

So I smell someone else in my house cooking food and I think "mmmm that smells lovely!" but the follow up mouth watering and signs my tummy is primed to have some of the food (😄) doesn't occur. Quite weird and quite interesting. I had thought it was a biological reaction. Maybe it's a psychological response? Pavlov's dog?

It's nice though because I had a slight worry before starting I'd go off some foods.

I'm wondering whether to go up to the 5mg dose on MJ for my second month. What is everyone else doing? I've had my 2nd jab of 2.5mg and I am losing weight....

Too early for me to say I think @PumpkinLJ. Due to take my second dose tomorrow evening. Suppression seems ok still. No side effects so far.

I think I'll decide when I'm asked my pharmacy probably.

Incidentally, what does suppression mean to everyone here? And what does food noise mean?

I'm hoping I will go off some food
I would like to be one of those people who just sees food as fuel
I don't know what to do about going up either
I'm inclined to avoid it, but I have to let them know I think they dispatch a bit in advance, don't they, so I put a reminder in my diary the price plan I got was based on going up but I'm worried about it because of the RLS problem

I had only lost a pound at weighing but then my period started so I weighed again today and it looks like I've lost 2 lb that might be closer to reality when you take out the pre-period bloat

2nd jab on Friday, but I'm a bit worried I'm not getting the suppression ai was after the 1st...I went for drinks last night & drank more wine than I should, it's not a regular thing, but I'm annoyed as today I've really wanted to eat crap. It's not been a disaster, but I've definitely wanted sweet treats.

@PatheticDistraction still really early days so I wouldn’t worry, and you still want to live your life!

@PumpkinLJ I think I’ll stay on 2.5 for a month as long as I’m losing some weight and getting some suppression, mainly because it’s Christmas time and I don’t want to risk having side effects or complete suppression over Christmas. Then up to 5 in January when all the Christmas parties are over and everyone is on a diet anyway

That sounds like good thinking @Springbaby2023

I think I will see what I’ve lost after the 4th dose of 2.5 and what the suppression is like. In theory, my first 5 dose would be 5th Dec but I’m still losing on 2.5 I may do another month on that and then crack on to 5 in January.

That’s what I’m thinking.. I’ll have to check when I need to decide with the pharmacy. They automatically send a 5mg unless I change. I’ve decided just to carry on over Christmas as normal , I can still eat, drink and enjoy my food but it will just hopefully stop me binging. I seem to feel full after a proper portion size, rather than the massive ones I had before. I need to learn new habits to stay at a lower weight and I tend to go off plan for a week for holidays or Xmas and then it spirals.
If I can carry on like this week I’ll be happy, I did struggle the first 3 days to eat but it’s been just right since. I can’t believe I went the whole weekend without buying a load of chocolate and eating it all! this stuff is magic!

Just had a sneaky weigh in as tomorrow is my official weigh day but I’m thinking of doing my jab tonight, 5lb down I can’t believe it

I am feeling the same as you except I already reordered the 5mg. I can hardly eat on the 2.5 still but it is only 2.5 weeks/3 jabs in so it may still tail off. I am getting more nausea this weekend but it might be due to being away so not really able to eat small and often. I may just do what others have suggested and do less clicks for 5mg.

I’m just about to do my third jab, weight loss has settled down this week - 2lbs down but I look and feel a lot better. I can eat when I have a meal in front of me I just can’t be bothered to make anything and am def veering to healthier choices. I am going to stick to 2.5 for the next pen I think - I’ve had no side effects, the suppression is comfortable now and mentally I feel so much better. If I do go up to a 5 at some point I will only take 3.75 as it’s supposed to be an easier jump in terms of side effects

@Fifiellz how do you do that, click it round less?

@Springbaby2023 Yes on a 5mg pen it is 45 clicks instead of 60

That's my exact plan as well. I'm nervous of overeating at Xmas but I'd rather do another month on 2.5 and avoid side effects

Jab day no.2 tonight!

So far haven't had any side effects and I'm really happy with the suppression.

I didn't do a weigh in last Monday because my weigh in day has always been Saturday morning (after intermittent fasting which I've done for years) and I forgot. So from the Saturday before my first jab I'm 3 and 3/4 pounds down!

Definitely feel slightly more hungry today but can cope easily.

I'm still doing Monday, Wednesday and Friday omad fast days of 500 calories per day but I want to drop that and eat more regularly.

thats brilliant ! Well done!
