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.

So I said this year I was going to try harder and be more accountable.

I started off at about 302lb and lost a bit on my own

I don't have stats from the beginning, just from when I downloaded nutracheck and started Rybelsus, so

March 2023 SW 254lbs 18 st 2 or 115.2kg

Feb 2024 199.8 lb

Feb 2025 189.4 lb (whilst on 15mg for a whole year I sts)

Feb 2026 160lb ( still on 15mg) so 30lb in a year, very happy with that

My goal is to lose 100lb initially, and then see where I'm at so I have 16.8 lb to get there. Bmi currently 26.8 from 42.3 in march 2023

Apologies in advance if TMI but wanted to share.

I’ve made a few posts on my inability to poop…I’ve tried every potential solution suggested by you bunch of losers…sadly nothing has ever worked and I’d resigned myself to the fact that it’s just how things are. Until….

Chia seeds!

They have been an absolute game changer for me…only been a week but I can actually now go quite easily and fairly frequently (well, in comparison to before anyway). I’ve been OMAD for about 8 months now but have been popping a tablespoon of seeds into a yoghurt at bedtime and then having it first thing (seeds have absorbed liquid from the yogurt so it’s quite thick).

Fingers crossed I might actually have a solution!!

No such thing as TMI on this thread @Mum2Fergus, glad you're moving freely!

🤣

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne

you're ex is a total fuckwit who doesn't deserve someone as incredible as you

Thank you! That did make me laugh.

So after one year on Mounjaro and a 5 stone weightIoss I finally went clothes shopping today. I entered the shops in my old size 22/24 top and jacket and size 20 jeans and left with a jacket and 3 blouses in size 18 and size 12 jeans! Size 14 jeans would have been okay too, but as I'm planning to wear the new outfit all spring, I guess it was a good choice to size down a bit. The jeans do button up and I can squat in them. I couldn't quite believe that I fit into a size 12!😯

My new outfit😊

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne Best wishes for your DS and you.

@canaritini wow!

That’s amazing @canaritini 🎉 love the matching colours of the socks, jacket and scarf 😊

You look great @canaritini!

I had an odd non-scale effect of weight loss the other day (not sure I'd call it a victory!). I had to re-teach my phone my fingerprint - I kept having issues getting my phone to recognise me, I think that the lack of plumpness in my thumb (particularly in cold weather) was causing problems!

Other NSVs in the last week or so -

I've gone down a notch on my belt
My swimming and running times have both improved
My hip pain has pretty much gone
My work uniform is far too big, time to dig out the smaller ones that are stashed somewhere in my wardrobe

And hopefully I'll have some more good news to share soon when I get the results of the bloods I had done today!

Well here's a first for me. Had an appointment with the dietician this morning. She's really pleased with my progress, but ... I need to eat more. 53 years and medical professionals have only ever berated me and told me to eat less. I've finally been told to eat more. 😂 I still have 60 kg to lose mind, just not at the speed I'm currently going as it's not good for me.

I ordered some dresses from Mountain Warehouse. Now, admittedly they are stretchy, but they are a size 16 and they fit.

Hooray for the well deserved whoosh! And enjoy the posh dinner guilt free

D’you know…you might just have solved something for me that I didn’t even think about!! For about 4 months now I’ve been having problems with FaceID on phone…always thought these things worked off your eye pattern, but maybe not, and it’s reflecting my face being thinner!

Love that outfit

I had to redo M6 windows hello as it didn't recognise me

Seconded

Looking fantastic! Can't believe how slim your legs are. Must have felt great shopping.

I am struggling to stop snacking, I think my brain knows I'm going home and don't snack there so is now calling out for all the snacks in my snack drawer. I've been eating loads this past week and promised myself I'd stop today.,. and I didn't. It's really hard to break habits even when it's only been a week! I didn't go crazy over christmas so not sure why I'm determined to eat all of my snacks now (mostly presents from people). Tomorrow! Tomorrow I'll do better... actually that depresses me saying that because it reminds me of Old Me constantly restarting diets.

I’m still fucked off as I’ve apparently put on another pound! I just don’t get it. :-( i think i’m eating bang on 1600 calories which is apparently a 800 deficit. I’m worried that I’m going a bit insane. Does this sound like 1600 calories ?

Breakfast

Protein wrap, 2 eggs, 50 g smoked tofu (air fried), mushrooms, tomatoes

Meal

Smoked mackerel fillet, small mozzarella ball, 6 airfryer chips, lettuce, mange tout, tomatoes, spinach, onion , boiled egg

Plate

2 baby potatoes, Greek yoghurt coleslaw with carrot and cabbage, ½ corn on cob , 3 slices of roast ham

Snacks

2 slices Wafer thin ham, small cheese cube, scotch pancake + Nutella, 4 strawberries, an Orange

@diggitydoo have you genuinely weighed and measured everything on that list?

It seems like a mountain of food to me.

"Does this sound like 1600 calories"

Frankly, no. I'm a bit worried that you're only guessing how many calories that is.

No drinks? I factor in 200 cals milk a day if I'm calorie counting.

Finally - try IF and OMAD. Never fails to work for me. You seem to be eating very frequently.

@diggitydoo at a rough guess I'd say you were eating more like 2,500 cals a day.
TBF I've done the same as you and guessed....... but it seems like a lot more than 1600.

@diggitydoo because I am lazy, I asked ChatGPT to estimate the calories in your list of food and it came back with approximately 1600 obviously dependent on the actual size/weight of each item.

If you've weighed and measured everything and logged it, does it come out at 1600 ish?

i am Measuring. Drinks wise I had two cups of tea and then just water.

Oh dear, maybe I was thinking about the size of portions I'd eat........
