June 2025 starters- Mounjaro (thread 6)

[FoxRedPuppy]

We are pretty much full on the other one!

MissMogs Nike training App has loads of free videos for free. I do them on a night time when the kids are in bed on a yoga mat I purchased from argos. My DH does the weight resistance ones and got me to download it. I was hesitant at first but really enjoy it

Fantastic to read all your journeys so far. When you put the weight loss into percentages like that it really hits home how far we have all come .

I don’t know about all of you but these last 6 months have flown by . I would never have imagined then that I would be regularly checking in online discussing fat , food and 💩 faeces with perfect strangers, but here we all are 😂.
After feeling very up and down with the literal weight going up and down for weeks this morning has seen a whoosh !! Which means a few milestones for me today 2.5lbs down this morning means I am at my lowest weight in 15 yrs . I have also broke the 3 stone lost barrier 😊. 1 more pound and I’m down to the next half stone bracket which I didn’t expect to see until new year.
SW 13st 9lbs
GW 10 stone ( will still be overweight )
CW 10stone 8lbs 😁

Will be looking for some exercise ideas I did try ChatGPT which was really good but I don’t know what half the names of the exercises were 😆. Must google them !!! I have some hand weights a crosstrainer and some resistance bands so I should try to work with them . Exercise is definitely where I am slipping and I need to find something to strengthen my body and something enjoyable for the long term and not likely to be problematic with my back injury . Looks like I need to fish out my swimming costume which may be a bit large now 😂.

I've lost 2st 7lbs in the six months, 13% of my weight, so bang in middle of the quoted 10-15%. In all honesty since winter hit I haven't been tracking as much, nor really restricting any foods, just stuck with the sensible portions and tried to get plenty of protein.

So whilst not the %s some have lost I'm really pleased. Never lost this much before, would struggle to lose half a stone.

I've tried going up to 7.5mg, but on third jab of that I've had a rough week of nausea. Think I'm going to drop back to 5mg until after Christmas then think again.

And I’ve reached the 4 stone mark!! And with that, a QUARTER of me no longer exists!!
I have a Christmas do today with all the lovely food so fully expecting this to go back up, but for this morning I am delighted!

Well done you!

I am still two pounds off losing 4 stone.... as I have been for the last 4 bloody weeks though. Keep putting the same 2lbs on and off. This week I have upped my water intake to the not being able to leave the house away from a toilet stage, hopefully that will help. Me360 says I'm the usual 1cm thinner everywhere and 2.5cm off my butt since a month ago, and I haven't touched any of the many christmas treats lying around so it's mainly positive. I just want the milestone.

Well done @MissMogs . I was 2lbs off but now back to 3.5lbs off 🙄

@SecretIrnBruDrinkerand @Crinklecatmaybe you’ve put on muscle??
I am fully expecting to be back up again tomorrow. Indulged a bit today. Well I have been very controlled all month so felt I deserved it!
Another NSV tonight - my Christmas pyjamas from over a decade ago actually fit!

Well done everyone !!

Good Morning 😊
Quick question please - does anyone know, if I use a 10mg pen to do 5 jabs, will I have to use a syringe for the 5th and final dose or will there be enough clicks in the pen to do all 5 🤔
You'd think I'd know this by now after 6 months but I don't!
Thank you x

15% loss for me - started on June 29th
I have stayed on 2.5mg-5mg most of this time and only just started to move up so I am pleased with my weight loss.
I can feel the benefits although I am still in the same size of clothes. I think this is because my clothes were tight or stretched when I started and now they are looser but still fit.
Here's to 2026 and reaching my goal weight, which I think will be around September time.

Checking in... I've lost 26% of my body weight in 6 months, which is impressive. Still a long way to go for me though - I will not be joining the maintaining club for a while. I need to lose another 2 stone before I can start thinking about that. Maybe by spring?

I'm still on 5mg. Still no plans to increase it - it's working well for me. Hair is falling out in dramatic quantities - trying to ignore it.

All my 18s now reliably fit me and I am starting to fit into some of my old size 16 clothes, which is nice. Some are a bit tight, but as there was no hope of me doing them up even 2 months ago, things are heading in the right direction. I haven't been smaller than a size 14 since I was at school - I'm quite tall, and have a big frame with wide hips - so the end is in sight in that regard.

I've finally lose the jowels on my face and got my jawline back - that's a real NSV, I no longer look like a Dali clock/hound dog.

My mil came to dinner last week. I haven't seen her in AGES because my work life imploded, it's been a truly horrible time, and so my husband has been doing solo visits for quite a few months.

She wouldn't stop going on about how much weight I've lost, even though I asked her to. She wanted to know "all the gory details" - how much did I weigh to start with? How much have I lost? - and while I accept that it's from a well-meaning place, I just don't want to talk about it. I never want to talk about myself irl. So I said, "It's not something I really want to discuss, but thank you - how are you?"

However, she kept picking it up, again and again - how great I look, how healthy I look, haven't I done well...? My husband could see I was finding it uncomfortable and kept intervening: "Bloozie always looked great" or "Yes, she's a star - how are you getting on with your new car?"

But she was like a dog with a bone. And now I'm dreading Christmas, because I'll have a house full with both sides of the family and I swear to god if all they talk about is how fat I was before and how not so fat I am now, I will cry.

I know it's normal to notice and pass comment, but ffs. No one would make a massive song and dance about me putting weight ON - not if they were kind - and it's the same coming off, in my mind. It makes you feel like your value and moral fortitude increase the thinner you are - which of course is the general societal view, but when it comes from family members... UGH.

I totally get this and am dreading seeing my family for the same reason. Well done you and your partner for batting the comments away! What a sidekick to have!
My parents totally measure a person’s worth by their size and make nasty comments about other people’s size including other family members in front of me so I don’t welcome any comments they may make. I am NOT worth more or morally more virtuous because I have lost weight!!!

My parents are the same, though I've been seeing them over the past few months so they won't instigate the conversation - just join in if it's started.... BIG SIGH.

My mum has lost a lot of weight recently - because of the diabetes medication she's been prescribed, so kinda the same way really. I'd guess she used to be a size 24, and is probably a 14 on top and 18/20 on bottom now.

She keeps bringing me her old clothes, even though she knows I've lost weight. This weekend, she brought me a size 24 denim jacket because it's WAAAAAAAAAY too big for her now. I pointed out it will be too big for me too, but she insisted I try it on anyway as she was sure it would fit. It did not.

She picked up a size L coat from Next for me the other week as they didn't have the size in my local store. I was pleased a L would fit me, but when she brought it over, she made a big deal of trying it on in front of my Dad, husband and son, saying, "oh, this DROWNS me, look at this, I'm DROWNING in it - don't I look ridiculous?"

I hate her, quite a lot of the time.

That’s horrendous behaviour!! Jeez.
I just get mine complaining at how much weight she’s put on if she has to buy a size 12 rather than a 10 🙄

Apparently - according to my mum - my Dad often tells her now that her bum is smaller than mine and my sister's. Two things, mother:

• My sister's bum is actually smaller than yours, but I would never say, because it just doesn't matter and it isn't what normal people talk about
• Related - why the fuck are you even telling me this? Do you want a medal? Why is Dad looking at our arses? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Oh so tough for you both, just ignore as much as you can. I’m really open about being on MJ but haven’t (and won’t) tell my parents. They haven’t commented on my weight loss but my sister text to ask if I’m on the jabs as mum has noticed too 🙄 but I said I’m not as I don’t want the pitying face of how I obviously lack will power. They’re the type who share a sandwich when out then couldn’t possibly have dinner as still stuffed. They’re not intentionally judgy but I still don’t want to deal with it

Presumably you're doing 10mg jabs from that 10mg pen, full 60 clicks each time? That being the case, then the pen will lock after four doses, which is all the pen is supposed to give. You will need a syringe to get the fifth "extra" dose.
Is this the first time you've tried to use the fifth?

Ah sorry, I wasn't clear, I am planning to divide it equally, ie. 8mg each time, so that was why I was wondering about the 5th one. Thank you for replying.

10mg pen wanting 8mg =5 doses at 48clicks each plus a 6th dose with syringe. https://www.vrgrowth.co.uk/mounjaro-clicks

Anyone else having issues with Shotsy since this morning’s update? My stats suddenly changed (despite putting weight on the last 2 days - see, told you that would happen!!) On closer inspection it had increased my starting weight! I also now have a random spike upwards a few months ago. Very annoying! I can’t check all the daily weights to edit them but I like looking at the graph!

Today I weigh exactly 5 stone less than I did on 15th May 2023 when I decided I couldn't carry on as I was any longer and joined a gym. I'm glad I didn't realise it would take me 134 weeks to get here, but hey, the time would have passed anyway. Still a way to go, maybe it will take another 25 months!

Need to change your name to MsSlinky!! Well done!

Then the pen will work as normal for your five doses, 48 clicks each time 👍

Yes mine has gone a bit weird with random historic spikes @MissMogs - I had to into each erroneous one and delete it. I love looking at my graph 😂

I have finally dropped off the edge and am now 4st and 1lb less than on 1st June. My size 16 jeans were very baggy yesterday so while in the charity shop donating my 18s, I picked up a pair of 14s. Which I can't get past my hips! They are fairly old so presume not a victim of vanity sizing. Even my large Halaras are getting a bit big. Isn't it brilliant?
