January 2026 Starters - I’ve lost a Kitchenaid

[BooptotheFloof]

Evening all!

I thought we should start a new thread as we are getting close to full on thread two

I weighed myself this morning and I have now lost the weight of a Kitchenaid mixer!

What kitchen appliance / Household item have you lost!?

SW 13 stone 9
6 x 2.5 MJ doses later …..
CW 12 stone 2
Loss 21lbs!!!

I am mid way through week 2 on my second pen and stuck with 2.5 - although am tempted to go up as my suppression is nowhere near the same as it was

I am being tempted and my willpower is waining

Send Help!

I would try and manage it because we are going to have to do this eventually. I would eat at TDEE one or two days without forbidden foods. I find that eating a bit more sometimes or having that row of a chocolate bar does satisfy me and the next day might be totally different.

Just be weary of the side effects of the 5mg.

i had very little on the 2.5 but since i took my first 5mg yesterday I’ve been feeling awful. All I’ve eaten today is a slice of toast and I had to force that down. Am really hoping to feel better tomorrow.

am panicking about not getting enough nutrients and my hair falling out 😩

I had no suppression the third and fourth weeks of 2.5. I stuck to my healthy eating but it was HARD. Just finished my first week of 5 and it’s been a game changer for me! No side effects either.

@BooptotheFloof I too ordered a second 2.5 pen and am already considering doing what you are suggesting. And as I took the golden dose this week, I haven’t even started my new pen yet! Definitely finding it harder.

I’m also thinking maybe I will jab from this new pen every 5 days instead of every 7, then move up. We’ll see.

I’ve just had my second dose of 5mg.

5’6”
SW: 14.5
Week 1: lost 10lbs
Week 2: 0lbs
Week 3: 5lbs
Week 4 6lbs
Week 5 0lbs
Week 6 4lbs
CW: 12.8
Total weight loss: 1 st 11 lbs (25lbs) since 1st Jan.

I’m feeling great: no side effects and full of energy so still exercising daily as I have done for years. I’ve been taking supplements and also moisturising my body daily in the hope of helping my skin - so far, so good.

I injected two lots of 2.5 and then went to 5mg x

Good luck @BooptotheFloof - if you feel awful on 5 you can always titrate down to 3.75 next week, but hopefully you'll feel good.

I've got my new 0.5 pen waiting (still have one more dose of 0.25 which I'm currently taking every 5 days) but I'm still unsure if I want to go up fully or not, I keep thinking my weight loss has stalled then getting a little whoosh. I'm currently tempted to count clicks and try 0.4 instead (ie. use the pen for five jabs rather than four) to ease myself into a higher dose.

Weigh in 6 for me and I’ve lost 2 pounds this week, 16 in total. Starting to feel it and see it in my clothes. I am also ready to move up to 5 now. I went out for a meal yesterday and I deliberately ordered a small plate and mini dessert but I could quite easily have eaten a normal size meal. I’m about to jab dose 3 of my second 2.5 pen this morning but am thinking about taking the 4th dose a few days after before taking the 5mg in a week. Has anyone done this? I’m a bit scared to do two 2.5 jabs in one go!

I went up to 0.5 this week. I did a week of 0.33 in between. Took it on Wednesday and am feeling great so far

End of week 6 and 1.1 pounds off. It was definitely harder this week and I think it is time to go up - going to try 3.75. Have had a cold this week which hasn’t helped. Well done to all for great losses and for sticking with it! I have gone down a size so have been selling all my size 20s on Vinted/taking to charity shop which is very satisfying.

SW: 16 st 9 - 5ft 7

Wk 2: -4.9 lbs
Wk 3: -2.7 lbs

Wk 6: - 1.1 lbs
CW: 14st 12.5 lbs
GW: 12 stone

24.4 pounds down

@Onbdy I’m not sure I’d take a 2.5 just a few days before taking your first 5mg, as won’t it still be in your system at a decent level? Whereas taking two 2.5 together at the same time would just be like taking 5mg? It’s not something I’ve looked into though.

Weigh-in for me today, a couple of days late. Still slow but still coming down! Did my last 2.5 yesterday and my 5mg pen is due to be delivered today.

SW 99.8KG
CW 97.15KG
1ST GW 90KG

So that's 0.25kg off this week, and a total loss of 2.6kg in 3 weeks.

Not bad considering I'm just back from a week in Vegas with meals out and some drinking! I have a few weeks now til my next big trip away in April to knuckle down and get on with it. I think I've accepted now that I'm not going to see any massive losses, but as long as it keeps going down then I'm OK with that.

@whiteandblackfluffycat Thanks, yeah I was just thinking that. I’ve just taken 1 2.5 dose 30 minutes ago. I’ll just wait now. I did have a decent weight loss this week after only losing 0.5 last week. I’ll have to rely on my will power! 😬😂

Morning everyone.

I’ve been on 0.25 for the initial 4 weeks and noticed a huge drop off in suppression week 3 and 4. Upped to 0.5 on Sunday and the difference has been noticeable.

My weight loss during the second 2 weeks were negligible to say the least, however since Sunday it feels like that first week all over again. Already lost 3 pounds.

My thinking is that during the second fortnight while my weight loss plateaued my body kinda reset. So this week’s loss is essentially that first week boost many of us experience.

Going forward it’ll be interesting to see if things repeat until I need that extra help.

Btw love the thread, especially during that tricky 2 week period.

I’ll post my weight lose on Sunday but looking good. Below 30 bmi for the 1st time in ages.

Hi all, youre all doing amazingly!

I’m slower to lose than I’d hoped. But all the same I went to the lowest dose wegovy for my second month. I’m still losing, now without side effects, and I’m happy with that I guess. I’m not sure if it’s the drug or if I just can’t eat as little as I need to, for those fast losses, without feeling sick and faint. So I’ll stick to there high protein meals a day and a slower loss for now at least.

just took my 4th jab today so that’s 3 weeks

sw 95.1 kg
cw 92.7
goal - maybe 80 for the summer
70 odd in the end

yeah very modest loss. But if I get there and stay functional and healthy I’ll be ok with that

Hello from New York!!
I'm hoping i don't come home with too much of a gain, barely eaten as we are too busy sight seeing

Long travel today and I’ve been listening to this on BBC Sounds: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/series/m002r3kd?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile which has been interesting and mostly positive!

I listened to that earlier in the week @catnobag - found it really interesting and, as you say, mainly positive.

Been doing fine on 5mg, minimal side effects, and then this eve didn't want to cook so we got pizza. I didn’t eat as many slices as I would usually but I am worried even that amount might make me feel nauseous later... I do feel rather overfull... ack

I’ve not had any side effects really on either 2.5 or 5, but have been eating light and clean. Yesterday went out for a celebratory lunch and had a rich pasta dish and a large glass of red wine and felt SO QUEASY all afternoon. So that was a lesson learned!!!

Thank you for the heads up. Woke up silly o’clock so have been listening. On episode 5 now, v interesting.

My friend had arranged for few of us to go to a steakhouse last night. And I said I'd go, but my usual excitement was replaced with worry. Last time I was at that place, I ate over e100 worth of food and drinks.

Anyway, it had to be cancelled last minute. And I was so secretely relieved.

Instead, I went out for a bit with other friends. I had 1 glass of wine. I just couldn't eat. When I got home, I literally had to manually open my mouth to get some cereal in. That was my dinner.

That was Day 2, Week 2 of 5mg. Have not felt supression that strong yet. Lying in bed here unable to eat breakfast as so full feeling.

Should be Day 2, Week 3, 5mg (can't edit).

Just when i thought i was feeling better I’ve been up all night with terrible stomach cramps and diarrhea 😩

im really wishing I had stayed at the 2.5 dose now as this is awful.

Ive been reading about click counting a dose so I may see if I can do that to go back down to the 2.5 dose.

i got the jabs through Numan and they have recommended that I suspended the injections until I feel better.

it took me 2 years to pluck up the courage to go on mj and am gutted it has turned out like this. As much as I want to loose weight I really can’t carry on like this.

@totallyfrusted I'm so sorry to hear that you're suffering. It's so debilitating isn't it? I had a really bad couple of weeks when I first started taking MJ but was lucky that I was working from home so it didn't affect my job. I've settled nicely on 2.5mg but my 5mg pen is en route and I'm really nervous about experiencing those side effects again. I hope it eases off soon for you.

It was weigh day for me today and I've lost another 3lb so that's 19lb since 3rd January, which I'm really pleased with.

So I took 2 x 2.5 on Thursday - no side effects except feeling exceptionally full all the time - yesterday I ate a small bowl of muesli and blueberries with added flax and chia seeds - was working so missed lunch and ate a small bowl of vegetables for dinner
Today I ate a tiny bowl of muesli and blueberries at midday and have no desire to eat or think about food at all!

I can definitely tell the difference between last week and this week and I feel like I did the second week of my first pen which is fabulous
Definitely sticking with 5mg now - I am going away Thursday so might have to order tomorrow for delivery Wednesday at the latest. - still haven’t told DH so can’t keep it in the fridge 😬
