@cheekysausage123I have created another thread (hope you dont mind) as first thread has been closed.

Weighing today but decided not to as its time of the month and I feel very bloated.

That’s fabulous x

@Elliebearblues - thanks! I know how you feel as I’ve had a terrible cold and cough since Friday am hoping to feel better tomorrow. Difficult to eat at the moment but I think that’s down to the cold and not the Mounjaro!

I’m so looking forward to being able to wear a smaller size - well done! 👏

Eeek, those side effects sound a bit unpleasant, but it sounds as though they are easing as each week passes.

I am about to do my 6th jab this evening and I weighed in again this morning (after an interim weigh in on Thursday). I have now lost 11lbs in 5 weeks, so am more than happy with that. This also takes me down into the next stone bracket, which feels like quite a milestone in itself!

Onwards and downwards everyone!

Great work @Lovesabadboy@VioletandMauve@Moosey898@Calyx72@Elliebearblues and amazing on the pjs fitting more comfy too @Elliebearblues!

Also got a cold @VioletandMauve but it’s not affecting my appetite as far as I can work out. 😂

Down 2.8lb this week, 19lb down overall since end of Sept. 🥳 Doing my 8th jab tonight.

They weren’t very nice 😩 touch wood I’ve been ok after this Fridays jab (3rd 5mg) a bit of nausea yesterday and today but not to bad

Jab 5 due tomorrow am 13lbs down.
So it’s working well.
Sticking with 2.5 as I feel the effects so strongly.
The fatigue is a bit annoying - I went to the gym yesterday and have been completely useless today.
Am really trying hard to meet my protein goals.
I am really intrigued to see what month 2 brings.

Well done Mamma!

that’s a great loss! You are doing fab!

I’ve got jab 5 due Wednesday if I stick to 7 days this time (have been doing 5/6 days as suppression seemed non existent). I’ve got a 5mg pen waiting in the fridge but will do extra dose from 2.5mg first….

Not sure yet whether I will jump to 5 or not next week. I’m going to order my 3rd one tomorrow though as medexpress will open my order window and I want to try to build stock.

no real side effects so far …. A bit constipated but using Movicol lead to loose stools so going to just have to take the drier days…. Suppression wears off on day 5 but that’s a chance to learn to manage food intake without help as well.

13lbs is amazing, when I first started the jabs I felt fatigued but now that’s the only symptom I don’t get 😂. I’ve been rubbish at protein goals lately but am trying to get a bit more in slowly. Hoping to get back to the gym next week, it’s the nausea this week that’s affecting me the most x

I’m having a conundrum. I should be doing my second 5mg jab on Tuesday… but I’m trying to work out whether to stick at 5mg or drop back to 2.5. I have not enjoyed this week. Plus I have a horrible cold.

I would say it depends on, so you have good supression and weight losses on 2,5mg? If so yes I’d drop back down, but remember when you go back up to 5mg you may get side effects again. This week has been so much better on 5mg but taken until this 3rd jab to not feel as rubbish xx

I would do a second jab at 5mg to see if the symptoms eased as your body gets used to it. It takes time for things to settle at higher doses sometimes.

@cheekysausage123 @StrongLikeMamma @Elliebearblues Amazing losses! Finally did my weigh in and I am 1.5lb lighter,

Has anyone noticed any changes with their period? This month mine seem to be lighter but longer, it would stop then show up again - it's pissing me off.

Just placed another order with Medexpress - decided to stick with 5mg for pen3 although I won’t start pen2 till next week…

I’ve lost a total of 11 lbs in 3 weeks so I’m happy with my losses although I brought doses 3 and 4 forward by 1-2 days as felt suppression had worn off. Extra dose this week then decide what to do - full 5mg or not.

@jaelato1sorry - can’t help as I am menopausal.

I’m perimenopausal but yes some spotting now and again between periods

Weigh in last night - 11lbs since 25th October ~3.5 weeks. I have slowed down since week 1 but I’m happy with that as I am not restricting what I eat and drink more than how much… definitely eating less junk but nothing is completely off limits as I have previously lost weight by cutting things out or vlcd and this time I want to make it sustainable.

i’ve taken my 5th dose earlier using a syringe - got about 0.8 ml out so roughly 3.33 mg dose and will see how that goes before deciding on full 5mg next. So far, no side effects - will see how the next few days go!

I probably shouldn’t really be celebrating this but after 5 weeks of 2.5mg and NO side effects or visible benefits, I moved up to 3.75mg on Sunday and today I had sulphur burps- yaaaaay! Go me!!! 😂😂😂😂

@DakotaFanny I think that’s worth celebrating! Sometimes we need some reassurance even if it is negative 😂😂😂😂

@DakotaFanny you cracked up me lol needed the laugh, been down with cold since yesterday.

Week 7 weigh in after a 3.75mg jab and funnily enough there was more food noise than on the 2.5mg so trying 5mg
Still lost 1.2 kg though
SW 129.1 kg
CW 116.1 kg
TW 100 kg

Lost just over 2 stone in total so well chuffed 😄

I’m debating 2.5/3.75/5mg this evening. Definitely got the food cravings and noise back today… so I’m wondering if lower dose/higher frequency might work for me in the long run….

Also…. Er…. Congratulations @DakotaFanny😆

Congrats! 🙌

Thanks everyone! 😂 I presume now that I will wake up 4 stone lighter tomorrow as well… ??

Those Sulfer burps are horrible x
