Mounjaro -10 stone or more to lose - Thread 11

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

Thread 11?

How did we get to this point?

Ah well. We're doing so well. Do join us.

I don't go on any thread other than this for the same reasons @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne - unbearable. I feel safe to be myself here, which is quite the find for the often toxic world of bullshit that is the internet.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne I cant get my head round clothes sizes.

As I sew a lot of my own clothes I'm used to going by measurement. My measurements make me a Simplicity size 24. Also 24 in Next but George I'm a size 22. Cotton Traders I'm anything from a 20 to 24 depending on which bit of me the garment needs to fit.

It also doesnt help that my idea of 'fit' is still 'does it cover'. So a size 26 still fits because it covers, even if it 'hangs' a bit.

I'm 5'3" 15 stone 4lbs. I think my size is high compared to some because the weight is all around my middle. I'm definitely 'stocky'.

Just had a text from dh - a woman who works with him is on MJ and brought it up in a conversation, he told her that I was also on it and showed her a ‘before and after’ photo - her reaction…. “I bet you’re pleased” 😳
he said it took him by surprise at first but replied, I’m pleased that Iwouldratherbesinging is happy, but I love her at every size, so no, I’m not pleased not for the reason you’re insinuating.

Having a really bad few days
Scale is going up not down ..4 pounds on now .
I'm literally thinking about food all the time
Massive urge to binge ..that I'm resisting
I'm currently on 15mg ..there is nowhere higher to go with this .
Have jabbed today ..so praying it kicks in soon

Have you tried injecting every 6 days @Springflowers2? I’m not suggesting that’s what you should do, but it works for me. Is the 4lbs on over one week or could it be natural fluctuations? 4 lbs is around 14,000 extra calories over a week, so something else must be causing the rise, frustrating for you I know 😕

I. Injecting 15mg twice a week as I am the same at the minute

Or doing an occasional 20mg dose.

It's been used off-label at this dose by some doctors, although obviously it's not been officially prescribed to anyone.

Yet.

Sometimes I do ,do this yes ..6 days when things are difficult..I've actually forgotten what day I jabbed last week..but I've done it today ,so fingers crossed for tomorrow.
It's really making me think ,how difficult it's going to be ,when I do have to come of the jabs ..
I've been drinking a huge amount of water lately..so I'm hoping it's this causing the gain ..
On the plus side ,it just means I haven't lost weight in January..as I lost 4 pounds ..then it's gone back on this week ...the water week ...
I'm trying to put of going to the doctor's..and hoping the water will fix the issue.
So nothing to do with monjroro,the extra water .
But I am finding it difficult again..last night I was desperate to binge ..and again today ..
I can't figure out why I'm feeling the old feelings again..I've not binged in a very long time ..so why it's coming back again is beyond me

Really ...I do feel like I need more ..
Tempting thought if things are bad next week still

Horrible isn't it
Does the extra dose make a difference..have you been on it a long time too ..I'm worried my body has decided 10 stone is the maximum..and I'm not loosing any more now
It's like my body or brain is trying to ruin things for me

What's also upsetting
Is i got through Christmas,and lost a bit of weight too
I didn't have any treats ,or anything special
So why am I now ruining things in January
I hate January at the best of times ..but I should be singing from the rooftops ,I'm 10stone down ..I should be happy .... sometimes I really can't figure myself out at all

I'm totally the same right now - except I'm not resisting. Seems to be something in the air, I've noticed a few of us are struggling. Kudos to those who are not - your NSVs and losses really help me want to stay on the straight and narrow!

@Springflowers2 I do find that injecting extra works.
It gets me back on track.

But everyone must make their own decision on it.

me too! 😍

@Springflowers2 10 stone loss is an incredible achievement, hopefully trying some of these suggestions will work as it must feel miserable wanting to binge.

Sorry to hear you feel the same .
Maybe it's January blues

Like an extra full dose or extra bit ..
I jabbed today..a normal amount..
I could see how I am in a few days and add a bit more .

Thankyou
Hindsight..I should of jabbed a couple of days ago I think
When I realised i was eating a bit more
I have completely lost track of when I last jabbed..going to have to start writing it down

What will happen when I have to give my weight to the company for the next dose ..they will realise I've not lost any weight in January
This has never happened before

It won't be a problem @Springflowers2 - nobody loses all the time, especially not at this time of year! It just shows you still need it if anything.

That's happened to me quite often, and it isn't a problem.
Lots of people stall. It's normal.

I always write it down.
Date, time and dosage.

You asked about increasing - I have given myself 20mg instead of 15mg when it's due.

I find that within two days, I feel the suppression I used to feel when I first started MJ two years ago.

It actually wouldn't surprise me if a 20mg MJ pen came out at some point - like the 7.2mg Wegovy pen which has recently appeared.

Three years I March I din know if it makes a difference to be honest. Just realised I've forgotten to jab today

I've never had to give my weight - who you you order from?

I always have to give my weight and I've used a different company each month. But they won't judge you for not losing or a gain! It's just for their data. Don't worry @Springflowers2

Thanks everyone..I feel much better
I'm with checkup and I always have to give my weight when I re order.
I think your right @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne they may well bring out a higher dose pen .. people like me ,on top dose ,for ages with plenty more to loose ,would be glad of it
