March 2026 starters

[Behealthy2026]

hi, I thought I would start a new group. I am waiting for my medical review before being issued with my first dose

Thanks same to you. Just need to keep going.. so tricky when you want the weight to go asap

I don’t know about you but before WLI’s I would have kept mindlessly eating well beyond 6 mini eggs so I think that’s a win!

I use chat gpt to keep an eye on my intake and exercise. It isn’t very accurate but it’s good enough. I’m not getting enough protein and might buy some powder. does anyone use it?

im cold and tired, day 3 of the injection. Its lasting 8 -10 days, the appetite suppression I meann

Me too. 6 is barely a mouthful

Did anyone find symptoms, specifically tiredness, worse after the third injection? I have been feeling so wiped out for the last 2/3 days.

Hi all,

may I belatedly join? I took my fourth dose of wegovy on Wednesday, and I’m so gutted - haven’t lost a thing, no food noise suppression at all 😩. So I’m hoping that joining you and hearing about all your good news will spur me on somehow!

I’m using collagen powder to up my protein. Also hoping it will help with loose skin as I progress. I use the nutrition geeks one which is 12.6g per serving.

Thanks. I can’t make up my mind if I’m better just eating meat and eggs. But im
genuinet stuffed for 4 days and I’m so tired I think protein will help.

@Seriestwo I have it in a cup of tea (which I would have anyway). Still trying to eat real food protein, but this just seems like a backup for me. Too early for me to say whether it’s helpful or not. But it seemed like an easy win for protein and/or loose skin. As I go up doses and perhaps have more of a suppression I may look into a fibre supplement as well. I don’t have much suppression atm, it’s just a bit easier to make better choices.

I have Huel protein powder that i have sometimes. It’s 20g of protein for about 100 calories. You have it in water. It’s quite filling. I find it’s good to have one before I’ve eaten anything for the day as then I know I’ve had a good chunk of protein. Otherwise I end up eating all my calories on chocolate and junk!

Down 1lb today which totals 9lb since 5 March. In fact today I am 2 stone down from this time last year when I started cutting down on sugar.
I even checked my BMI today and have gone from severely obese to plain old obese.

Morning all. Anyone had a stupid binge despite not actually feeling like it? It wasn't a huge quantity (compared to previous binges) but I ate lots of sugar and chocolate and don't know why. Exhaustion and stress I think, I was feeling wrecked yesterday. Hunger had absolutely nothing to do with it. I guess it never did before either.....but I wasn't even craving like I used to. I just did it anyway. I feel really shit now and my face is puffy, i slept in really late. No appetite. I'm wondering should I fast a bit and let it out of my system or do the opposite and eat protein rich foods to stabilise.

I had about 3 glasses of wine last night & I still have a headache! 🙁
Meeting friends in the pub later too - I’ll have to pretend I’m taking antibiotics or something!

That’s amazing MoneyJo, that’s a good milestone to hit!

Thank you. I sometimes get a bit discouraged when the scales don't move for a few days but actually it is all going in the right direction.

@Dontlletmedownbruce I had some biscuits yesterday, I wasn't hungry, just saw them in the cupboard and ate 5 of them - a few weeks ago I'd have finished the packet, so am taking that as a win, but am still annoyed with myself. I haven't fasted, but have been drinking even more water than usual to try and flush it out - probably won't help. but like you, I feel I should do something to try to cancel it the binge.

Hi All, I'm a late March starter, had my first dose of MJ last night :)

Welcome @TheTipsyRobin how are you doing?

Hi everyone I’ve swapped over to mounjaro as wegovy wasn’t helping with appetite suppression I took first dose on Thursday. Not yet feeling suppression, which surprises me as I had very strong reaction the one time I tried it in 2024! But I am optimistic it will maybe kick in with the next injection? Anyone else not have suppressed appetite straight away?

Did my 2nd jab today - not got scales at home so don't know if l have lost any weight yet but scared that eating crap will make me puke - that alone is keeping me on the straight and narrow!! So far anyway.

I still feel hungry for my meals but get full really quickly so can only eat small portions.
I’m on week 2.

All good so far, thank you. I was feeling really anxious about side effects but none have kicked in yet 🙏 x

I think you should just have a day of healthy eating with plenty of veg and protein. Don’t restrict yourself as if you’re anything like me it could start a binge - restrict cycle.

You don’t need to punish yourself for eating unhealthy food. Just go on with your week and don’t give it another thought.

Is anyone taking electrolytes? If so how? Thanks.

I've not had a good day today, have been eating toast, biscuits and had some cereal. Just about to make an omelette, and drink some water, as have had zero protein and not enough water. Am wishing that I'd gone up to 5mg (I started my second 2.5mg pen on Friday), as am definitely not finding it as easy to make healthy choices and I haven't done any exercise today.
Tomorrow is another day, onwards! Hope everyone else has done better than me this weekend.
