Mounjaro -10 stone or more to lose - Thread 12

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

Thread 12!

Sorry for jumping in, but have been reading along for a while 😀
Have finally taken my first dose this week, SW 22st, first goal would be under 20 by our summer holiday and can't imagine myself under 15st!!.
Can I ask what tracking apps you guys use, iv looked at shotsy but unsure of others.
All of your comments have helped spur me on to this point

Welcome!! I was around 22 stone when I started in July and am now 15st something (I weigh in kilos) so it is absolutely doable! I use My Fitness Pal for tracking calories, and track my weight and exercise in my Garmin app.

@Rawrrawr1 I started at 22 stone 6lb and I am 1 stone away from my end target now so it is definitely possible! I use shotsy and weight tracker. I also made my own spreadsheet so that I could add mini targets throughout! As above I'd recommend also doing measurements as I didn't do that and wish I had. I have taken pictures now and again so I can use those for comparisons as well as weight but measurements would have given me numbers!

I do have a pair of boots I bought years ago and I keep trying them on to see if they zip up all the way so I suppose that's one way of knowing how much my calfs have changed. I need to do that again soon too as I haven't tried them on in so long!

@Rawrrawr1 welcome!
I don't use any apps to track anything.
I don't know what macros are.
I don't count calories.
I'm basically a dieting lost cause.
🤣

Hello @Rawrrawr1 no need to apologise for jumping in. I was 22st when I started and I am now around 11st, after around 20 months on Mounjaro.

I don't usually track calories/macros, but use DoseDiary to track injections and weight, as well as my own spreadsheet.

I have kept one item of clothing, the t-shirt I wore in the first picture I sent off for my first prescription, for comparison purposes. I also didn't take any measurements as I couldn't face it, kind of wish I had, a little bit, but seeing the change in how my clothes fit was a good way of noticing the change too.

You and me both. But we are half the peopl3 we were!

Week 53 and a 1lb loss which means....... I'm in the 16's (stone bracket wise) albeit 16st 13!

Weird NSV of the week, had a day off yesterday with absolutely zero plans so spur of the moment I booked a full body massage which I wouldn't have dreamt of before. I even found myself standing in front of the masseuse in just my knickers and nothing else at one point and I didn't even care! Wasn't the greatest massage I've ever had (I've had just back and shoulder ones before) as she was a bit too gentle for me but nice all the same 🙂

Onwards and downwards.........

Welcome @Rawrrawr1 I use Shotsy, My Fitness Pal and Happy Scale and a very detailed Excel spreadsheet, I love data

Welcome @Rawrrawr1 to our lovely group! I started at 22.3 and I’m now 15.5. So you’ll get there too!

I use Shotsy to track my dose, jabs etc, it’s a great app. And I use Nutracheck to track calories, protein and fibre.

I was 24 stone 13 pounds when I started in January last year. Been obese my whole life, never thought in a million years I could get to a healthy weight. I now weigh 10 stone 12 and have a healthy BMI (I’m 5’9”). It’s definitely possible! Keep going and trust the process, you will get there!

I’ve never tracked my dose or anything but did use MFP to track calories and macros. I’m in maintenance now so don’t use it religiously anymore but if I feel I might be slipping a bit then I track for a few days. It’s working so far!

@Rawrrawr1 I was also 22 st when I started 10 months ago and am now 15st 6lb. I didn’t think this could be possible either.

I use Shotsy and my digital scales app, plus a spreadsheet - another that loves data!

welcome to the group, you’ll get there!

@Rawrrawr1 welcome
I use the NHS weight loss app ,at first I tracked calories,but I pretty much eat the same things ,so I don't as much now ,but I do track each weight loss .
It's a free app and easy to use .

I think I would as well
I need to work out my weight for BMI 25..can't see me getting to BMI 21 though

I’m 5’6 and I picked 70kg as my goal weight which would be a BMI of 24.9. I’ve never weighed much less than 90kg as an adult or teenager so I decided to settle on 70g and see how I feel/ look. I’m currently 117.9kg so a fair way to go but when I started at the end of November ‘25 I was 147.6kg so I’m very happy with my progress so far, and feel confident I’ll make it to 70g (or maybe less, who knows!).

Losers! I just bought some jeans from Sainsbury’s.

THEY’RE SIZE 12!

I accidentally got short not regular so they’re not long enough. They look absurdly small. But they go on and do up.

I don’t know what to do with myself!

Great NSV there @TragicMuse size 12 is the dream!!

Just in Edinburgh. Went to the Playhouse to see Matilda the musical and it’s such a lovely experience to not worry about fitting in the seat. Life at 15 stone is infinitely better than at 22 stone; where I didn’t fit in the seat when we saw Dear Evan Hansen and I spent a few miserable hours perched on the edge of a chair.

As it happens the show got cancelled! Technical failures. Disappointing but ah well. Having a lovely day nonetheless with DW, we went out for street food for lunch and I had a fried chicken burger with ranch dressing, was gorgeous. And the best iced coffee from Black Sheep Coffee. Isn’t the world nicer when the sun is shining!!

I have no idea how it's happened but I've lost 4lbs this week..I was fully expecting a gain or sts as I've had lots of carbs and I was away on a girls weekend last week.

Highest weight: 293lbs (Nov 2020, pre-MJ)
SW on MJ 253lbs (Nov 2025)
CW 212.7lbs/15 stone 3lbs ish
GW: 10 stone/140lbs ish?

A tiny NSV, we got a ring doorbell and we were looking at the recordings, there was one of me in the garden and at first I actually didn't realise it was me, in my mind I am so much rounder! Oh and I've dropped into obese class 1 😁
What's weird is I am only about half a stone heavier than my lowest adult weight - 14 years ago - yet I am such a different shape than I was then. I wore a lot of little skirts with tops tucked in, I'm sure my belly and legs were much much smaller.

Hey,@PearlsTeapot what a coincidence, I was going to see Matilda in Edinburgh today too!!!! Wow how weird would that have been?
I ended up selling my tickets due to an impending arrival of a new grandchild.
My daughter in law gave birth last night!!
Our third grandson. (Also have 2 granddaughters).
We will be travelling south to visit in the next few weeks once we have worked out avoiding appointments and sorting work out for me.

Wow @PositiveAttitude we would have been in the same place! As it happens you literally didn't miss anything 😄Congratulations on the new grandson, how lovely for you all.

That's quite frustrating. I lost a load of money on the resale.... I would have got it all back if I hadn't resold them. 🙄
Will you be rebooking?

I dont think Matilda will be back as the final show was tomorrow. I would if they come back!

Oh how frustrating for you, I'm sorry!

I was a bit disappointed because I dropped to 12st 6.25lbs last Sunday and Wednesday but the overall trend has been 12st 7lbs this week. And I’ll take it, of course. But I just want to lose more. And be a bit more consistent!

Bloody bodies!

OTOH I’m still riding the high of a pair of 12 jeans! I’m just taking them back to swap for a pair of regular because short is too short!

Don’t get me wrong, they are SNUG! And very muffiny. But they are wearable, just! And will be more so in a few weeks and through the summer.

@TragicMuse I lost 0.5kg and then regained it two days later 😅 I’ve lost a bit of it now but I’m just ignoring it until weigh in day (Friday). It is, though, very annoying! So I can sympathise.

Happy Sunday everyone.

A couple of long awaited scale victories for me today: I'm now into onderland weighing in at 199lbs. After starting at 309lb I never thought the day would come when I weighed under 200lb. This also makes my BMI 34.7, so 'only' class 1 obese 😀

I think I'm now about the same size as I was when I met DH 20 years ago. I'm a size 16/18 now, which is bonkers to me.

I went away to university this week for some lectures (I'm a distance student) and I haven't seen everyone else on the course since June last year. I started on MJ in May so essentially the entirety of my weight loss has happened since I last saw them. I got a couple of 'you're looking well' comments as well as this awkward exchange:

Her: You look really different. Is it because you're wearing your hair straight?
Me: I don't know, maybe.
Her: No, I don't think that's it. silence and a hard stare
Me: Could it be that I've lost some weight?
Her: YESSSSSS! I didn't want to say anything but you've lost loads. You look so different.
Me: Erm, thanks............ crickets

I don't know why it makes me so uncomfortable. I know she was trying to be nice but I don't really know how to handle these types of interactions.

Lost 2lb this week, making it 1 more pound til 7 stone lost! I’m itching for it! Going up to 5mg has been the boost I needed.

@AlicesMum2025 that sounds awkward! 😬 people just don’t know what to say sometimes.
