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

I am getting oood suppression on 2.5. I inject on a Wednesday and had to force myself to eat breakfast todayZ. It’s quite amazing. My torso is less fat. So that’s encouraging

That's great @Seriestwo

I’ve now had two injections of mounjaro 2.5mg I’ve been feeling so hungry the last few days! I know they say 2.5 isn’t supposed to be a therapeutic dose but lots of people seem to have good suppression and stay on this dose so I am disappointed. I’ll see what happens next week but if it doesn’t improve I think I will have to move up to 5mg any one else found this?

I’m the same Wegome26 getting very hungry but I have all the way through, I just can’ eat much before I’m full.

I’ve found the Easter weekend tricky. DH bought me a bloody Easter egg!
we had a friend round for a roast dinner on Sunday & I broke it up and put it on the table as part of the pudding!
Although I had a smaller portion the. I normally would I still managed 2 Yorkshire puddings and some crackling from the pork as well as several glasses of wine so not expecting any amazing results this week.
My fourth job this week, had minimal side effects so decision to be made about going up or not!

Hi just checking in. I'm in my third jab of wegovy. It's very different to mounjaro. I still get hungry like how I'd consider a normal person to feel but less likely to snack and just eat normal meals. On mounjaro I could barely eat and often had to force myself. I am losing a but slower but 2-3lb per week.
I've had a ladies weekend away, 2 birthdays, mother's day and Easter and still managed to lose. I'm happy with this level of suppression. It was very noticeable to anyone before that I couldn't eat. This is more 'normal'

Great you’ve still lost weight despite a busy social schedule @Pigriver
I had my last 2.5mg last Thursday. Suppression wears off around Tuesday usually. Weight loss has been minimal over the last couple of weeks. My 5mg pen is waiting in the fridge but we are going away on Friday for a bit so I think I’m going to try to use the golden dose of the 2.5mg pen this week and start on the higher dose when I get back. My problem tends to be portion size and more recently sugar. I’ve always been more savoury but I guess meno has my body wanting to store estrogen… Thankfully Mounjaro has completely removed all sugar cravings for which I am thankful!

I’ve eaten an Easter egg and a lot of fizz with Easter. Not as much h as I’d normally eat but it is noticeable that 2 days before my 2.5kab I’m hoovering up snacks. Which makes me took I’ll regain if I stop taking it.

I’m on week 5 gone up to 0.5 on wegovy as I wasn’t losing much on 0.25, I’m feeling stronger suppression now and eating less at meals and barely any snacks so definitely working and hopefully lose a few more pounds a week!

Good to read everyone is doing well, even if in small amounts, off is better than on!

I took my 6th jab of 2.5 MJ this week and so far lost 20lbs. I do agree that suppression is less than it was so I’m going to order 5 next week with the aim of clicking and going up to 3.75 first. Really pleased so far with limited side effects.

I’m up half a pound. That’ll be the Easter fizz and chocolate and sitting around. Never mind, I’ll get back to it

Five weeks and six jabs in and it’s going well. I have been wondering whether I should have gone up to 5 for the second pen, but it’s heading in the right direction and slow and steady seems sensible. But boring!

SW 5/3 115.4
CW 9/4 107.5

BMI is now 38, I’m feeling good, exercise is happening and I feel like I’m constantly drinking water.

Is that kilos @SmallTreeDeepRoots ? You're doing so well. I started the same day as you and have lost 12lb / 5.5 kg and I thought that was good!

Please can I join!
I have just done my 4th dose of Mounjaro, I’m 8lb down.

Have about 2stone to lose in total.
I lost 4lb in week 1, then 2lb a week, which is slower than I’d like, but probably the best way for me.

Same rate of loss as me @summerfocus and from what I have read we are rar less likely to have some of the side effects by losing at that rate.

Yes, it’s kilos. I can’t get my head around stones and pounds - metric all the way!

I think a lot depends on our starting weights - I have a lot to lose so maybe there’s more low hanging fruit. But 5.5kg is a solid kg a week which is a healthy rate. I lost a lump of water weight at the start but have now settled in at about 1kg a week as well. Happy with that.

That’s good to know @MoneyJo, I think I’m just impatient and was hoping for a miracle stone in a month.

We are all doing very well, and going in the right direction!

Agree MoneyJo! We’re all going in the right direction.
3rd week done
loss a sad 1 pound
7.5 pounds in total!

my next pen due & I’m going to go up to 5ml but will start with a 3.75. Due any of you more experienced posters know how many clicks that is?

Yes @rockstarshoes I just started my second pen last night and it's 5mg but I'm planning to stick on 3.75 for the full pen. It's 45 clicks.

Great thank you so much!

I wondered about going straight to 5 but I have noticed today that I have more suppression than on 2.5 so 3.75 will do me for now.

I also plan on doing 3.75 from a 5 pen, first one being this Sunday.
total loss since 8/03 is 6kg

@MoneyJo that’s interesting you have noticed a difference. I will do the same but I still have 2 more doses in my current pen. Do you just keep doing 45 clicks so you get 5 and a bit doses? What about the final one. I don’t know why but it confuses me completely haha

I think my current pen will still have the golden dose so I should get 6 lots of 3.75 with a little bit left over. I guess I could then use the last bit of this pen and a bit of a new pen? I haven't really thought that far yet.

Took my 3rd mj last night 2.5, have more acid reflux since which I suffer with anyway but it is worse than usual! Have been chugging gaviscon advance. Weighed last night and didn’t lose this week. I did come on this week so maybe that has something to do with it.
i looked back to my starting weight and it was 77kg im 74kg now so almost half a stone in 5 weeks without much suppression isn't that bad actually.

I do have a bit more suppression since my 3rd dose maybe as the levels I’m my body are higher now. Unless this continues I do think should move up as 2.5 hasn’t really been that much different to going it alone. But like @MoneyJo i think I will try 3.75 first.

any one worried about what happens when bmi is below 30 and still getting their mj? another couple of kg and mine will be just under 30 I’m short so doesn’t take much to tip into obese category)

so far I’ve been switching by going into monj to see best deal bit as you get to a bmi under 30 is it best to stick with same pharmacy? Or does it not matter?
