November 2025 Mournjaro starters

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!

well done for starting!

I’d like to lose 2-2.5 stone in total to get me to a healthy weight for my hight.

Springbaby2023 · 20/11/2025 21:30

Well done and welcome to all the new starters!

I’ve had a bad day today! Ate too many snacks despite feeling suppressed AND had wine. I think PMT is counteracting the effects of it, wonder if that will change going up to 5mg.

Burnnoticed · 21/11/2025 08:22

I know, but keep forgetting to actually do it, how important sleep and water are to weight loss. Need to be more disciplined!

I started today! 6 stone to lose 🤦‍♀️!

how much do you want to lose?

Would love to lose 3 stone but I would be happy with 2 1/2. I can’t afford to use it for long so need to be very disciplined. I’m generally low carb with my diet and 16:8 fasting anyway so I hope that will help. My downfall is 🍷 😳

Mine is also 🍷 😆!

Good luck! After effects so far?

Definite less food noise and no side effects for me.

You?

RoundandSad · 21/11/2025 11:58

Second weigh in today

3.5lb gone

I still feel weirdly stressed about it all and I can't believe these amazing losses some people had

Took third jab this morning, for some reason I thought I had to prime and quite a lot came out so I might not have had a full dose God I'm such an idiot

Burnnoticed · 21/11/2025 13:09

@RoundandSad prime first by clicking to the first line, after you've done it then click to your dose and inject

I had a nightmare with my 4th jab yesterday, did the normal priming but couldnt see anything coming out, I then cant remember what I did but I think it was when I tapped it that then loads came out, obv I got a full dose as went back to 0 and clicked round to 1 but now I am thinking I have lost loads of my 5th dose!

I wouldnt worry about other people's big losses, mine was big in first week but really slow now, I think it'll be a struggle for me, also as I am feeling so nauseous I am not eating enough so now my exercise is suffering.

My first week loss was 3 and 3/4 pounds (that 3/4 is very important to me!!) and I feel I'm probably not going to lose this week (second week). I'm definitely feeling I'm going to be a more moderate loser.

The amounts aren't much different to previous diets I've tried but I found those pre mounjaro very hard to stick with and was constantly hungry and felt deprived which I haven't had since jabbing.

Fifiellz · 21/11/2025 14:54

I had a big loss the first week and a half but have completely stalled now. I put back on 3lbs of it on Tuesday and now just sitting there so in total it’s worked out 10lbs in nearly 3 weeks. Dont get me wrong I know it’s still good but consistently losing small amounts feels better mentally than a big drop and then nothing. This is the part where I fall off of conventional diets because “it’s not working” so at least I have to be patient now.
Im also not eating anywhere near enough, topped with a really horrible trapped wind pain and bloating today 😩

RoundandSad · 21/11/2025 14:59

Sorry for everyone with side-effects
this stuff is cumulative, isn't it? So they can come out of the blue?

when you share codes, can people see the source of the code? Or does the supplier tell you "this person has sent a code" I don't really know how that works.

66babe · 21/11/2025 15:03

Possibly totally unrelated but I’ve got a terrible headache today , 1st jab yesterday
Have drank plenty and no other problems , did anyone else have headache after jab ?
thanks all

Yes, I get one each time for the next day, I am prone to migraines though so I am not surprised really.

66babe · 21/11/2025 15:29

Thank you @SexyFrenchDepression , hopefully it will just pass , I’m not a headachey person normally but this is horrible .

RoundandSad · 21/11/2025 16:57

Oh my God
I skipped lunch, sat down to eat something and I really can't
Wow

I had my jab this morning, maybe I'll be able to eat something later

HotTagine · 21/11/2025 17:03

Can I join? I had my first jab last night and felt mostly fine just a mild headache that went quickly in the morning but since this afternoon everything aches, if I press my shoulders or chest or tummy it feels sore. I googled and can’t find anything. Has anyone had anything similar?

Fifiellz · 21/11/2025 17:05

@HotTagine Welcome! Yes I had that the first couple of days. It’s been 3 weeks now and it’s never come back.

HotTagine · 21/11/2025 17:19

@Fifiellz thank you that’s reassuring. Other than this have felt fine so far. I think food noise isn’t as strong as usual but I still feel like I can eat, so think it still needs time to work. I have 4stone to lose and feel like I’ve tried everything so I’m pinning my hopes on this working.

IDidntFloatUpTheLaganInABubble · 21/11/2025 17:30

@Springbaby2023 pleased to see your loss! How are you feeling now you’ve had a few days on your second one?

I’ve just had my first weigh in before I did my second jab and I’m 6lbs down so I’m very happy!

I’ve not felt hungry once all week, been eating 3 small meals a day, low carb high protein & drinking about 3ltrs of water - so obviously peeing 629151 times a day!!

DD2 bought me a brownie as she didn’t know I’d started, it sat there for days & then got thrown away. If you knew me you’d know that this could not be further removed from my normal behaviour, DH was gobsmacked! I’m such a glutton!

It feels like someone has swapped my brain out, it’s so strange! Apart from an achey shoulder I’ve not had any side effects - god I hope it continues like this!!

Do you think the 3lb gain is hormonal?

Wethers121 · 21/11/2025 18:41

I had a bit of a rough few days. Had no real side effects then day 6 on my one hour commune I could tell I was starting to feel I needed the loo. I was in a panic as was in the middle of nowhere. Managed to get to a McDonald’s just in time. The same thing happened yesterday at a concert and again today when out with family! I took my second jab yesterday and not had much suppression today. It’s a weekend full of things I can’t avoid, so hoping to just eat less and maintain or lose a pound if I’m lucky.
I lost 3.5 last week but had lost 2lb in the few days leading up to starting so feeling much better for it.

PatheticDistraction · 21/11/2025 19:15

3rd jab & second weigh in this morning - I lost 4lbs, but I really don't trust our scales, even so - it's good I guess.

The trouble is that I'm really struggling now - the old cravings came back today & although I've managed a bit better than I usually would, I've still eaten some rubbish - it's not a disaster, but I have been thinking about food a lot again :(

I'm really itching to move up to 5mg now & hope for better suppression!

Oh you poor thing @Wethers121 that sounds awful - could you pop some immodium this weekend as a preventative measure?!

RoundandSad · 21/11/2025 19:20

@Wethers121 sorry to hear that that's very scary

@PatheticDistraction when you say you've eaten junk how bad is it? It might not be as bad as you think.

So I'm on this two weeks now, I've had some chocolates from a box. But it's no longer stressful to have them in the house if you know what I mean.

PatheticDistraction · 21/11/2025 19:42

So today I've eaten - 1 egg scrambled on a slice of Jason's protein bread, chicken & broccoli chopped satay salad - then a skinny whip chocolate bar , some chocolate covered frozen berries, 4 mini caramel waffles, some leftover cheesy pasta & now a hot chocolate
