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!

Ahhh I see, I messaged Bolt to ask if they’ll price match, if not I’ll go somewhere else.

Took my 2nd 3.75mg jab Thursday. Felt a little bit queasy Fri morning but absolutely fine since. Glad I didn't go straight up to 5mg as I still have appetite suppression and 0 food noise. Last week was awful but I am sure that was my period rather than the jab itself.

I have been doing it 6 weeks today, have lost 18.2lbs in total. I have about 3.5lbs to go to get to BMI 25 then will have just over a stone to lose to get to target after that. Weightloss this week was the lowest its been at 2.09lb but I am happy as I was expecting lower this week. I think it'll start tapering off now.

So thought I would give a run down of my last 4 weeks
2.5mg each Thursday and have lost a total of 11.5 lbs . I’m very happy with that and have my 5mg ready for next week , considering doing the 3.75 but we shall see.
I have eaten well , thought about food a lot - thinking about how I am not thinking about food , very strange .
Definitely had some kind of effect , I’ve eaten smaller portions and not been tempted at all by sweets or chocolate, biscuits , cake anything like that
Deliberately eaten 3 small meals a day - concentrating on protein , fibre and good stuff like fruit and low carbs .. smaller jacket spud , less pasta etc. This week I’ve only lost 1.5 however it is unlikely without this jab if I’d have resisted the Xmas temptation at work and at home so I’m fine with that . Mild headache week 1 , that’s it for side effect and mild abdominal cramp this week but may be not related .
Role on another 11lbs , good luck everyone .

@66babe that sounds brilliant, well done. That’s exactly how I’m finding it too - amazing to not be thinking about my next sweet treat all the time. Haven’t eaten a biscuit or cake in a month now. Unheard of!

@CallMeStellayeah Voltron’s referral only works for new customers. I can also recommend Lotus - very quick m, goods service s as bd easy to swap to.

@TaffyTabby Yes same here , I’m definitely a chocoholic lol
I have bought lots for Xmas but not touched a single one , hope you doing well too !

@SexyFrenchDepression sounds similar to my stats. I’ve just hit BMI 25, and would lose to lose about another stone maybe less. How are you going to taper off? I was just going to carry on weekly jabs until I get to the right weight then taper off. I’ve got a full pen, and then I think I’ll order the next pen before cancelling.

Sorry I meant my losses might start to taper off as its been over 2lb a week so far and I'm almost in healthy BMI. I want to continue as I am or increasing doses till I get to my target weight which will be around BMI 21/22. So 1-1.5 stone more to go.

Regarding tapering off the jabs I was going to buy a few more pens (maybe another 4) with whatever discounts I can then just reduce the doses till I run out, will probsbly but 5mgs and use less clicks. I want to be able to have the option of staying on longer term if I need to so I will monitor how I feel coming off it/lowering the dose to ensure I can still place an order if need be. I think I will be ok without it but I just don't know. I'd rather not be on it long term if I dont need to be.

Starting weight 15 stone 10 (size 18)
Target weight maybe 11 stone (size 12)
Current weight 15 stone 1lb

Was due my second .75 of my second Wegovy pen yesterday but had works Xmas do so left until today as last weekend felt queasy again for a few days. Tried to make good food choices and only a few beers.

Suppression is good at this dose and reduces my wine consumption too which I'm happy with.

Hm so I probably ate at maintenance calories today. Weirdly still didn’t feel that hungry and didn’t snack between meals but did have ice cream after dinner, partly stress eating after a long frustrating bed time with the kids.

Trying not to stress about it though, it’s not bad to eat at maintenance occasionally.

I looked over my notes

I think strangely that the easiest week was the first one

But in general after my 6th dose yesterday the pattern for the first few days is

Exhaustion/fatigue
Headache
Strange metal taste in mouth - anyone else have that?
nausea, particularly bad week two

but every week taking Pepto-Bismol after food on the first three days after the jab

Irritability, also didn't have that the first week but I have now had five weekends of this really annoying

My weight loss isn't up to much and I don't know it's too early to tell if my second dose of 3.75 will help

But I wonder if I could drop back to 2.5 and get the same results

with that thought, I'm wondering if I maybe shouldn't take the dose on Friday because I don't want to spoil another weekend but also it's too close to Christmas to just take the dose late so I would effectively skip one
Which doesn't matter if I go back down to 2.5 anyway

Honestly, managing this medication requires more thought than dieting

I think something like 80% of people don't get side-effects but if you do get side-effects, then there's a lot to think about

the goodnews is i don't have a headache yet
does this mean my body is getting used it at dose number 6?

@66babe Tbat sounds like me, constantly thinking about how I don’t want food and I’m not hungry. I reckon that must wear off after a bit and then you just have no noise.

@diggitydoo I do think I’m missing the dopamine hit of food, trying not to replace it with the dopamine hit of buying more Christmas gifts…

I am genuinely thinking about doing a lower dose next week because I want to enjoy Christmas food! Or at least try to time it so I’m hungrier over Christmas.

I have had second thoughts about starting on this and have a pen I haven’t used. I don’t suppose I could get a refund or sell it somehow ?

@diggitydoo sorry I didn't have time to reply before

I hope you're feeling better

Yes I was shocked how low and sad I felt in week two but I think I posted it here and didn't put it in my notes

I need to keep better note, but keeping track of all the side effects and other problems and also keeping track of what I eat is getting annoying

I really need to eat some dinner. It's nearly 9:30 I am hungry but I've still got digestive issues from lunch

Metallic taste can be a sign of ketosis, if you’re doing low carb and or not eating enough calories?

@BoxingHares22 I think it is unlikely you could get a refund. As for selling on, you might find it difficult to advertise - you would be more likely to sell by word of mouth locally?

No neither but i just looked it up and apparently it's quite common

That one probably goes away after day two

@RoundandSad for me jabs 1-4 were a breeze… golden dose was ok too, jabs 6&7 I had really bad fatigue to the extent of needing a nap days2/3, jab 8 was a little better then I picked up a cold which wiped me out days 3/4 and just done jab 9…

I’m hoping this week will go ok, then it’s golden dose and I will take the full amount, but if fatigue etc is bad then I’ll stick to 5 mg.

from what I have seen across these threads you have to work out what works for you - most people seem to be varying days between jabs or doses to suit them so if side effects are bad, go an extra day, or cut the dose… if all ok keep on, and if hunger ta k es over, go up.

@BoxingHares22 you won’t get a refund for changing your mind unfortunately. It is also illegal to sell or pass on your prescription medication.

Got my Tesco order coming tomorrow. Normally it would have tins of Quality Street, Roses, Celebrations, barrels of Twiglets, peanuts etc etc in it. I just haven't been arsed to do so. How will my family cope!!! 😬😄

Eurgh - the side effects have hit me hard today, a day after my second 5mg dose.

I've got really grim sulphur burps, and now diarrhoea - which is really unusual for me.

I had been too smug up to now!

All of these side effects are putting the fear of God into me. Especially a week before Christmas.

@putthehamsterbackinitscage thats what I seem to be realising, it’s a bit of trial and error I think while we’re all still getting used to it. I’m taking my second 5mg dose today, hoping for less exhaustion. If I get severe tiredness again I’m going to drop it down next week, don’t want to be that tired over Christmas with two young kids.

It’s very individual, so I would say if you are worried about Christmas, wait a week or 2?

i had no real side effects on 2.5 mg, i have mostly had fatigue on 5mg but am hoping that’s improving now on my 4th week at 5mg.
