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!

I laughed at the comment about the hidden folder. I’m mortified even the pharmacy people have seen my pics. They must see soooo many people looking grumpy in their undies.

I am trying to eat Greek yoghurt, fruit and seeds for breakfast every morning as it ticks lots of nutrition boxes but it can be hard work sometimes. I almost gagged on it this morning. I was the same when I was pregnant.

I tend to eat fairly well for dinner now too but lunches are a bit rubbish so going to work on having soup or salad in Jan.

I took 3.75mg yesterday. Feeling pretty full today, but no bad side effects thankfully. My cravings for chocolate in the evening are creeping back in a little bit but they’re manageable.

I really want to try to stay on lower doses as I’ve seen posts from people who feel like they’re no longer getting any effect from 15mg 😓

@TaffyTabby I hated doing the pharmacy photos, I breathed out for full effect also so looked hideous. I was under BMI 30 and various pharmacies couldnt agree whether a condition I have was acceptable, I was told it should be but it is complex. I wanted to ensure there were no doubts with them that I qualified. A lot of my weight is tummy and face so I looked very bloated.

I wish I had taken so more normal pics for my records but perhaps I'll continue my trend and take photos breathing out as much as possible each time to compare 😂

I have cup a soup in case I dont fancy much, I can stomach them. I struggle a bit with eggs, but salty well cooked scrambled eggs I can deal with. The trouble is if I have nausea then generally carbs help which is not what I want! I am the same with Greek yoghurt so now I am buying the flavoured protein yoghurts/desserts instead, I chuck a couple of spoons of chia seeds in but need to add fruit also as I'm definitely not getting my 5 a day!

Can I ask, anyone who has had nausea with their jabs, how long does it take to subside? I’m not vomiting. Just the thought of eating (especially healthy stuff) makes me feel yuck. It’s been 5 days on 3.75mg so far.

Mine only lasted 2 days luckily, I was fine yesterday and today. I found mine was exactly like my morning sickness and eased off when I ate something so I concentrated on eating little and often. 🤞 it wears off soon for you

Yes I’ve only had it briefly too, and maybe only twice since I started five weeks ago.
Nausea and vomiting are both listed as common or very common side effects though.

NSV - went to do some Xmas shopping, thought I’d try on some clothes and I’m down to size 16, which is nice! 😍

Bit of advice if anyone can help. I have my first 5mg ready for after work today . Now considering if good idea Xmas week , could someone please remind me how many clicks of a 5mg pen for 2.5 mg and how many for 3.75mg
not sure if I should go to 5 when I’m ok on 2.5 and losing slowly but happily . 16 lbs down . 😊
thanks all

30 for 2.5 and 45 for 3.75.

16lb down is great!!!

It’s 60 clicks for 5mg, 45 for 3.75 and 30 for 2.5. We all seem to be different regarding side effects so personally I wouldn’t be increasing next week at all, stay where you are happy and comfortable for Xmas and then go up after.

I would definitely wait for a week or two. I had zero side effects on 2.5mg, was losing but getting a bit hungry. Tried 3.75mg and I feel sick which I didn’t expect for such a small increase. Been feeing like this since Sunday. It’s 30 clicks I think.

Thank you @SexyFrenchDepression yes I’m happy with that , makes me 11 something now which is nice to go down a number and clothes definitely feeling better .

Thanks @TheP1per that’s what I’m scared of as all the kids coming home from Monday onwards and they don’t know. Don’t want to be ill or miserable lol

@66babe the going down a number is a great feeling! I have just about hit my interim target I wanted by Christmas. I am hoping I can get another lb off by weds then maintain the next week 🤞 back full on after that though.

Yes it’s amazing well done! Im just about to get back in to the tens and its such a boost!

That’s my aim @Fifiellz 10/7 will do me fine so about a stone and a half to go 😩

I am a short arse, just hit 10st7 and have a stone and a half left to go, so I'm half way but know that it will be a lot longer to shift that compared to the 1st half. I've found it ok so far but I do know it's going to get tougher, and then maintenance will be a lot of trial and error so even harder IMO.

What do you think to my plan?

I’ve been on 2.5 weeks 1-4
last week did golden dose of 3.1

usually jab tonight on a Thursday.

I’ve not had too many side effects and have lost a stone. This week have been feeling it harder though to stay within calories.

I have a 5 mg pen .

Because of Christmas I’ve decided to delay my jab until tomorrow night and then take 3.75. A small increase to see if I get better suppression. And timing wise it means on Christmas Day I’ll not have to jab (I’ll be away staying with relatives) and can do another dose of 3.75 (or 5 depending on how I’ve felt this week. ) on Boxing Day.

I would go up to 5 this week, I’m actually going back to 2.5 as I’ve struggled with side effects after having none at 2.5. I think I’d persevere if it wasn’t for Christmas but I really don’t want to feel ill over Christmas. You might be fine on 5mg but it’s the biggest jump as you are doubling your dose so for the sake of a week I’d play it safe.

Thanks all , Yh I just did 2.5mg from my 5mg pen , will do 3.75 next Thursday and see how it goes , wish I’d been more organised and bought the syringes for the golden dose but I forgot so that was wasted .
I also tonight caved in and had a bag of haribos 😩 only 1 , not sure how that happened , just fancied it whilst I was in the cupboard , however it didn’t lead to any more snacks or crap food so that’s a bonus . Previously I’d have ate the lot

So I've done my 3rd 5mg jab this evening- 7th dose overall. I usually jab on a Friday morning - but my last one was rough, so hoping to ride out any symptoms overnight. I'm also going to be super careful these first 2 days with what I eat to try & avoid the nausea & sulphur burps this time.

Weigh in tomorrow & I don't feel like I've lost anything, but we'll see!

I'm starting some gentle strength training & following Sally Gunnel on instagram who seems to explain/ demonstrate exercises in a v straightforward way - without having ro comment/ subscribe to see content - just thought it might appeal to some of you x

Just come back from a Christmas event with dsis. We went shopping and then went to a bar afterwards. My dsis doesn't know I'm on MJ and I was worried she'd notice my slightly thinner face as she's usually good at spotting these things. Fortunately she didn't mention anything! 😁 I just don't want to be under the microscope.

I was a bit worried because she took me to a place that did cocktails only. But we just had one each as an early night. It was lovely and I feel fine so far.

The only thing is I was so hungry when I got home because I'd not eaten much so I don't know if alcohol makes me likely to make silly food choices despite mounjaro. But I was reasonably restrained. In the past I would have got off the tube and had a sneaky McDonalds.

I think that sounds sensible as a few people seem to have had more side effects on 5mg so you dont want it affecting you more over xmas. It may be fine but I wouldn't take that chance.

After eating tonight I felt a little bit hungry still. I had a cup of coffee and now feel full. It's quite strange.

I drink lots of water usually btw.

@diggitydoo sounds like a good plan, similiar to mine. I’ve worked out from a 5mg pen I can do four doses of 3.75mg and then there will be two doses of 5mg left. So following that plan my next dose will be 3.75mg on Boxing Day evening. Then I’ll move up to 5mg in the new year.

Weighed in this morning, and have lost another kilo, so I'm officially a stone down. Still 3 to go, but I feel more positive & also that time is going quickly.

Feeling so much better than just after my last 5mg jab, I've been super careful with what I've eaten. Still had a few sweet cravings, but have been very moderate in my eating, with lots of protein

9th jab just done. Not looking forward to trying to disguise the fact I won’t be having the usual treats on Christmas Day when with extended family. I haven’t had any sweets, chocolates or puddings since I started the jabs as I really don’t fancy them.
