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!

Edit; I meant to say 2.5 has had minimal effect (not that it “hasn’t had”) so I’m considering whether to top up with the golden dose today

You can do - effectively you’d just be moving up to 5mg a week early.

or you could wait till next week as it’s likely you’ll be able to get a bigger dose. I got 0.8 ml so equivalent to 3.33 mg as golden dose.

i found that worked well for me, then went up to 5mg for jab #6.

ive not really struggled with side effects all the way through but I have been extra tired since Tuesday (did 1st 5mg on Monday).

I wouldn’t top up. It takes up to six weeks to reach steady state with these drugs so you will still be having a cumulative effect from the previous jabs you’ve done. I’d stay the course.

I’ve heard people are often able to get more than 0.6ml out of the “golden dose” and take about 3.75mg for their fifth dose, which is a nice bridge between 2.5 and next pen’s 5mg.

Ha! I downloaded Shotsy and decided against using it because I thought it only let you use kilograms or pounds (as many US apps do). It's only just now after reading @SexyFrenchDepression that I've managed to work out how to get it to stones and pounds.

Kilograms mean little to me. And pounds only - even less.

I was using GlucoPal - free version. I'll fiddle around with Shotsy to see what I think.

TBF I love anything thats a graph or spreadsheet, I'm easily pleased😂

I might like to look at them but I am, to put it mildly, mathematically challenged!

I'm an accountant so it goes with the territory 😂

I love numbers, data, trends, spreadsheets. No accountant, just a nerd.

I timed it wrong today

Took it at lunchtime

Noticed I was really hungry yesterday

That was carrying on until about 4 pm today

Then I tried to eat a bit of dinner and now I'm thinking I might have a bit of indigestion

I wonder if it makes more sense to take it before bed in which case I should've done it last night

It's quite stressful just having no idea what's gonna happen with it

I have found the mornings best for me, when I had it at night I woke up feeling like I was hungover. It might have been a coincidence though.

I’ve found today really hard. First proper evening out since taking MJ. We’d had to pre order so didn’t choose the best option in advance as was before I started the jabs!

I tried to restrict calories in the day knowing I’d be having lots tonight. Was easy to some extent due to suppression but I felt absolutely exhausted. Made myself a high protein snack plate after work before going out as we weren’t eating until late and I was feeling terrible. But now after three large glasses of wine plus a fairly substantial meal I feel so uncomfortably full. Ate more than I needed to because I don’t want people to know I’m on MJ, and also now feel guilty because I feel like what’s the point in spending all this money if I’m going to ignore the feeling of being full.

I definitely seem to be struggling mentally this week - I know this is absolutely the right thing to do for my health but it’s not as straight forward as I thought it would be that’s for sure.

But I think I’ve learnt some lessons ahead of other festive nights out now!

@SexyFrenchDepression Try electrolytes if you feel like that again in the morning, has worked wonders for me.

Thank you, will give that a go.

@Springbaby2023 I had a night out tonight but made some excuses about drinking too much. Have proper work night out soon and I'm really worried about feeling awful if drinking and not eating much.

That's interesting to know about electrolytes @Springbaby2023.

I wasn't sure what electrolytes are for other than to take after stomach upset. What else are they useful for?

@tobee They replace vital minerals. I always used to wake up feeling hungover after exercise, I drink electrolytes after now and that’s helped. Then since taking MJ I’ve tried taking some when I’m feeling a bit tired / off and for whatever reason they’ve made me feel better, think it basically just gives you a bit of a boost on top of the water you’re meant to be drinking,

I’ve woken up with the most horrific stomach cramps and diahhorea- not sure if it’s all the excess food and drink last night or a stomach bug as it wasn’t quite right yesterday and my youngest has also been awake complaining of tummy ache. If it is the MJ then it’s giving me some serious second thoughts!!

@Springbaby2023 sorry you’re not feeling good! It’s hard to know if it’s a bug or the food and mj, but it’s scary to think it might be because of something you’ve taken . I hope you feel better as the day goes on.
I’ve taken my jabs in the evening and seems to have worked well, I’ve not had any side effects. I took jab 3 on Tuesday and I’ve previously had decent suppression, hungry for tea but couldn’t eat as much of it. Yesterday it seems to have worn off and I felt peckish all day for the first time. I’ve woken up this morning hungry too. I was debating whether to go up to 5mg , but I’m pleased now that I did!

Hi everyone! Great to hear everyone's journey with this.

im almost at the end of month one of 2.5mg and it honestly hasnt touched the sides... final weigh will be on Monday morning and I'll be lucky if I've lost 5lb the whole
month. How is everyone else getting on in month one? Spoken to come friends who say it's not uncommon first month....

So I'm a month in with Wegovy.

Starting weight 15 stone 10 (size 18)
Target weight maybe 11 stone (size 12
Current weight 15 stone 5

4th jab this week and a bit disappointed at such a small loss as this is something I can manage in my own but I've ordered my new pen at the next dose. That will take me to Christmas.

If I can get half a stone then I'll be well in 14 stone bracket and my lightest for a while.

No side effects so far. I always ate well and low carbs but I'm hardly snacking. Have a square of dark chocolate if I'm craving chocolate but the bar I bought at the start still has 3 squares left so not really been an issue.

December is busy, out for a Chinese tonight, works do in two weeks and a couple of family birthdays before we even get to Christmas.

Not been able to keep up with the thread as much as I wanted but wishing you all well on your weight loss journey.

@Nearlyamumoftwo I’m similar, I had a big 5lb loss the first week then nothing the second and then just under 1lb a third. So feels like a slow loss compared to others and I have felt minimal impact in terms of food noise. I’ve definitely had suppression in the immediate days afterwards. I am hoping 5mg will be more effective for me but I’m going to try 3.75mg first with it being over Christmas.

@JustBeach Thank you, I’m feeling much better this morning but yeah worried that’s going to happen each time I overeat and drink on the jab. Hopefully it was just a bug and bad timing, but I’m definitely going to be more mindful of not pushing past fullness. That’s definitely a good habit I need to get into anyway.

Has anyone had any weird cravings by the way? I suddenly can’t get enough of having a cup of tea any time of day or night! Never a tea drinker before - always coffee. I’m also surprised how I just now don’t crave anything sweet at all. Unfortunately my cravings for carbs and salty foods haven’t completely gone but hoping that comes in time!

@Nearlyamumoftwo I have read loads that some people don't really have any real results till they are on much higher doses, esp as 2.5mg isn't even considered a maintenance dose.

My results month 1 have been good, 13.5lb in total, I started 1st Nov.
Height 5ft4
SW 12st
CW 11.05st
TW 9-9st7, not sure yet

Had by biggest loss since the 1st week this week which was strange, lost just over 3lb, however I am usually at a desk all day and this week I wasn't and got a huge amount of steps in so I wonder if its that.

Hopefully next week will be my 1st big milestone of 1 stone and also getting under that 11st mark! I will see how this week goes on my golden dose of 2,91mg and decide if I go for 3.75 or 5 next week. I am definitely more hungry this last week but it feels much more comfortable than how I felt before TBH. I want to enjoy food still otherwise when I come off the jabs I will just pile it all back on as I will want to enjoy everything haha!

I seem to be really drawn by the smell of pastries, like Greggs sausage rolls smell, not sure I could eat one but the thought is tempting!n
