Mounjaro -10 stone or more to lose - Thread 12

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

Thread 12!

@TheZingyFish so jealous of your sunny holiday! Glad to hear you’re having a good time. Re the loose skin etc I’m also realising that I will never be truly happy with my appearance unclothed / in swimwear (my arms… I will always want sleeves). But how great to have the additional comfort on the plane. Hopefully it all contributes to you enjoying your sunshine break even more.

Sounds like a fantastic holiday @TheZingyFish. Whatever has gone on will come off again.

I am doing a little happy dance here this morning!!
I have officially landed under 100kg!!! 99.7kg to be exact!!! That's nearly 40kg off since the end of June 2025.

When I started I never believed that this would work for me. I thought I would be the only person in the world that failed yet again.

So grateful for mounjaro and thank you all for being honest, open and encouraging here. I may not post a lot, but I read every post here daily. You keep me going. 💖

Morning!
wow @TragicMuse the difference in those photos is just amazing!

last week I had a few comments about weight loss, my SIL said to me, please don’t lose too much more, my eldest dd the following day said I don’t think you should lose any more mum and her partner said the same, then dh also agreed with them. I spoke to a friend about it yesterday (I haven’t said that I am on MJ) and she said that she tends to agree with what they are saying.

I suppose this ties in with what @Onenotsosmallstep said about “how do you know what target looks like”

My original target was 11.5 stone as it was a nice number I remember from school days, smashed that so dropped it to a round 10 stone, then I wanted to see 9 on the scales, so settled on a target of 9 st 10lbs which I hit last week, weighed this morning and I’m 9st 8…

So I suppose I’m at target but it’s so scary. I’ve been taking 8mg of MJ every 5 to 6 days, this week I think I’ll go back to 10mg every 7 days (I was on 15) then try and space the time out between jabs to 8 days then 9 days and see how I go. I don’t think I want to lose anymore weight but the thought of not trying is terrifying me, it’s really hard to explain the feeling, If I eat a little more will I just relapse into old habits? But I have a buffer of around 5 lbs, losing 5 lbs is a hell of a lot easier than losing 10 stone! I’m just going round in circles at the moment, I’m going to have a hunt for the maintenance board and have a read through I think.

Well done @PositiveAttitude . I'll join you in your happy dance if I may. I too have hit the same milestone today. I remember being weighed at the hospital many years ago, and I was exactly 100kg. The nurse patted me on the arm and said 'don't worry dear, we'll say it's 99kg, it sounds so much better'. Thanks love, you patronising old moo!

@TheZingyFish I hope you're having an amazing holiday. Nice food and treats are all part the whole holiday experience, so you are allowed to enjoy them guilt free, any gain will be a temporary thing. Have fun x

@Iwouldratherbesinging I find it really interesting that people are happy to vocalise when they think we've lost too much, but never when we've gained too much. Nobody ever says 'please dont put any more weight on' do they. I've already had a couple of people say that surely I can't have much more to lose, when actually I have at least another 4-5st to go.

Week 49 here, and 2lb off, total 6st 13lb. I'm so close to 7st and also 100lb off so they are my next 2 mini targets, hopefully by my 1yr jabiversaey in 3 weeks 🤞

SW 22st 8lb
CW 15st 9lb
GW 11st 4lb interim

Have a great week losers

Congratulations @PositiveAttitude! That’s amazing progress!

I also hit two milestones today, under 120kg and less than 50kg to lose!

Not read this for a few days as work has been so busy and I've felt under the weather (7.30pm bedtime one night!) and as ever there's so much to catch up on!

@tragicmuse Thanks for sharing your before and after pics (I love seeing other people's) - what a transformation!! You look amazing!

Like others, I've never ever set a target weight when I've been on weight loss missions because I was always so, so far from healthy that it seemed pointless. I'd love to be in a healthy BMI range with a bit of room to put on/lose and maybe this time that is possible! Would be about another 5st and I've lost 9.5st so far.

Congrats on your milestone @Billybingbong and @PositiveAttitude , I am really hoping to join you in the next few days, I feel I’ve been hovering around 100/101kg for an age! Saw 100.1 yesterday and 100.2 today so fingers crossed I’ll see a 99 soon!

I feel I’ve stagnated/ plateaued a bit recently but I’ve also really upped my exercise so hoping I’m actually swapping some fat for muscle. I’m going to increase my dose a bit though, been on 4.25 for a month, will either do 4.5 or 4.75 tomorrow I think.

@TragicMuse the change you’ve made is amazing!

I’m at the hairdressers and forgot to plan food. I had berries and Greek yogurt at 11. Pre mj I would be sick with hunger by now. But I feel fine, it just crossed my mind that I need to eat but otherwise I’m fine. Another way mounjaro has changed my life. Not always tied to hunger.

@ConfusedMiddleAger83 sure your body is changing in different ways since you’ve upped your exercise. I upped from 4 to 4.5 this week and can feel the difference, so hope it helps you. The proof will be on the scales on Sunday!

I think we must be weight loss twins @PositiveAttitude I started first week of July at 311lbs and yesterday just hit 220lbs, which I think means I was 141kg and now am 99.79kg.

Hey twinny!!! 😁💖

Have you gone down many clothes sizes? I am still stubbornly stuck at a size 22, which is frustrating. I had hoped to be fitting into some nice size 18 dresses that I have for the summer.... But I don't know that I will drop that far by then.

Actually I think the three of us are triplets! I started early July at 139kg and am hoping to see a 99 on the scales this week!

Yay!!! Triplets!!! 😁😁😁

@PositiveAttitude @RenegadeKeeblerElf Yay!

Dress sizes have been weird for me - I was wearing anything from a 24-28 at my heaviest (I am only 5ft4!) and I am now in 20-22 generally. But, it took 5 stone loss for me to buy new things in the 20-22 range, and I still wear some of my larger clothes. Trousers are no good in larger sizes anymore, but I used to wear a lot of floaty dresses so they are less affected by my weight loss. I have however today bought my first lot of new underwear as my old size 24's are baggy on my bum!

I'm also hoping to get into an 18 by summer, but I haven't bought anything yet.

I was (squeezing into) a 22 at the start but I'm edging towards an 18 - my jeans are a 20 but are starting to get too big, my work uniforms are an 18 and very comfortable, tops I wear a variety of sizes ranging from 18-22. But I bought a jacket from Vinted a while ago in an 18 that is nowhere near fitting, however another one the same size from the charity shop fits perfectly 🤷

Slightly disappointing 0.4kg loss this week, I know it's still a loss, but I was hoping for more. I've been focussing on increasing protein and that has meant a slightly higher calorie intake (1300 rather than my 1200 target) but with my exercise it should have still given me a bigger loss I would have thought. Ah well, I'll keep plodding along and hope to see that 99 on the scales next week!

CW 100.4kg, 39.3kg lost in 35 weeks

Don't worry @RenegadeKeeblerElf. I have tipped back over the 100kg again this morning after a bad day of stress eating yesterday here.
The thing is, my brain tells me to stress eat out of habit.... But I don't enjoy what I eat and regret it immediately. But at least now I don't hit the "f* - it" button and continue for the next few days and weeks. 😏

I don’t think I reported in last week!

I’m injecting every 5 days (although I got distracted and went to 7 this week!) and have stayed on 10mg.

Week 54, 10mg

SW 19st 4lbs (Jan 2025, pre-MJ)
SW on MJ 18st 11.5lbs (1 Mar 2025)
CW 12st 7.75lbs
Change this week -1.75lbs
Total loss 94.25lbs/6st 10.25lb

I had a very annoying time a week or so ago, happily losing and then 2lbs back up for NO reason. It’s taken ages to shift it again.

You’re not alone @RenegadeKeeblerElf and @PositiveAttitude

When I get the instinct to stress eat/pick at something out of habit, I find that if I imagine myself eating it, it doesn't feel appealing, and so I then don't want it. Might be worth a try. But it's so freeing not to worry about the f*ck it button isn't it!

@RenegadeKeeblerElf
I think you're doing fine, although you're disappointed this week.

0.4kg is a good loss for someone who is on week 35 of MJ.

It's still almost 1lb in imperial measurements.

At least it's a loss and not a stall or an increase. I've stalled again this week, but I haven't got much left to lose now.

I finally had a whoosh, 3lb down taking me to 15.5 stone and back under the 100kg milestone. It’s taken me a month to lose the weight I piled on when I left hospital.

3 more pounds and I’d have lost 100lb which feels absurd!

We’re going out to a tour at a chocolate making place in Edinburgh and then for lunch. My weight loss has spurred me on to make a good choice today. Because tomorrow we’ve got Afternoon Tea! I always eat what I want on Sundays though but that’s pushing the limit a bit. I think I won’t have any of the cakes and will take them home for DS and just have the sandwiches and scones.

I am constantly in awe of your social life! You always seem to be going to such great places 🥰

weigh in day here!

SW: 19st 3lbs
CW: 13st 5lbs
GW1: 15st (03/01/26)
GW2: 13st

Total loss: 81lbs, 30% of my body weight and my BMI has dropped from 44.3 to 30.8.I have my annual blood test next week and really looking forward to the results this time.

I’m jabbing 3.75mg every 5 to 7 days. Some weeks I’m fine to wait for my weekly jab, but other weeks the food noise is a bit too much. I’ve been doing C25K and as the running time increases, I’ve noticed that I need to increase my calorie intake on the days I run. I can’t bank calories anymore. I did try increasing my dose but the suppression was too strong and I couldn’t eat enough, so I’m sticking with this routine for now. 5lbs to my GW2, never in million years I thought I would get this far!

Can anyone suggest a pharmacy that allows bundles and accepts Klarna?
