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

Down another pound today. That's 19lb in 8 and a half weeks. I love the steady decrease of the numbers.

Well done everyone, keep going!

Took my second 5mg jab on Friday evening, and am definitely feeling more suppression now, after a bit of a weird week 1. Also lost another kilo and am down 10.5kg in 9 weeks. More impressive than that though, is the fact that my knees and back hurt a lot less, plus I'm exercising consistently and feel motivated to make an effort which is new for me! Have some family stuff this weekend for the BH, lots of food involved so am interested to see how that goes. They all know I'm on Mounjaro, so that will help.

I’m up another 2lb, but my face and belly are changing. Perhaps I’m about to get a period, am on holiday so not really in control of food and won’t take another injection until we are home, so I’ll be 2 days late. I’m going to keep going and not worry or self sabotage.

I’ve lost another 1lb this week. As @MoneyJo says, it’s great to have steady losses, but so much easier to achieve!

Hi all, have returned from holiday to find a 4lb increase which was to be expected I guess. I was 28lbs down but now need to get back there! Did eat more and also some alcohol and lots of sprite. Onwards and upwards.
oh I also didn’t do the 5 in the end, I did 45 clicks 3.75 and this seemed ok so will continue for a while and see what happens!

I have dropped down to the next kg bracket, I was stuck at 72ish kg for weeks but now I am 71.something. I am definitely noticing a difference even though I’ve not lost that much.
I found a photo of me in 2019 and thought I looked nice in it. I looked back to see how much I weighed then. 63kg. That seems so far away from what I am now. I got down to 60kg in 2018 and fluctuated between 60-63kg for a few years. How did I do it? I wish I could remember what I was eating regularly then.

I went through my wardrobe and found some clothes from slimmer days. A couple of the jeans fit so I wore a pair yesterday. I got a couple of comments on them but nobody has noticed I've lost weight yet. Since Jan 25 I have lost 2 stone 10. I'm hoping someone might notice once I get past the 3 stone mark!
Or maybe because the first stone and half were last year, then a long plateau until MJ, they won't notice til I reach the 3 stone mark on MJ. That won't be for a while.

I’ve had a bit of an upset tummy these past few days. Defo not Mounjaro (it was related to some fermented food I’ve eaten). Have already missed one day, I’m hoping to feel better tomorrow. If so, not sure whether to continue on with my usual dose after a 9 day break or drop down a couple of clicks given how sensitive everything is atm.

I never know whether to comment on someone’s weight loss or not. It’s a tough one to judge. I worry that if I comment, it’s like saying I thought they were fat in the first place.

Fair point I guess.

Ooh I'm going to try that too @MoneyJo, I've got a couple of pairs of jeans that I haven't been able to get into for years. Congrats on getting into yours. No-one has noticed my weightloss yet either! Am almost at the 2 stone mark, so perhaps your theory about 3 stone is right

I have decided to change my ‘official’ weigh in day. I class my official weigh in day as Wednesdays, as that is the day I inject. However, it also seems to be my heaviest day! If I go off my weight today, I have lost a grand total of 0.5lb on my first week of 5mg. However if I had recorded my weight on Saturday, I would have lost 1.5lb!
It is amazing how much my weight varies over the week. There is a general downwards trend though, which is the important thing.

@Darkspiderplant I have found exactly the same thing! I have started weighing 2 days after I jab, because I always find I have stayed the same if I weigh on injection day, it's so odd!

Jab day today. I'm down another pound so that's 20lb in 2 months / 9 weeks. I'm very pleased with that.

@MoneyJo well done! I have 1lb to go to undo the holiday gain and get back to 28lbs loss. I was thinking though I didn’t eat that much more whilst away, or snack, did have a lot of sprite which I guess wasn’t diet sprite. But 4/5 lbs in a week is worrying lol.
I’ve had some people ask if I've lost weight, but most haven’t said anything even the people we went on holiday with. I have so much to lose that I guess 2stone isn’t that much in the whole picture! But I’m pleased that I can fit into some size 20 trousers (whilst also wearing 22 and 24!)
I jabbed 3.75 both weeks - how are you finding 5?

I'm finding 5 is working well. I am still feeling good suppression and low food noise. I have my last dose on 5 this evening and then another pen of 5 so I hope it continues to be enough. I want to order my next pen soon as I got money off thanks to referring a friend. Just don't know if 5 will still be enough by then or if I will need to go up.

I just had to tell someone but I am miraculously down 4 lbs today. So happy. No loss at all last week and half lb the week before. I don't know why there was a lag but I feel like I deserve something to motivate me as i was really waning.

For those talking about suppression, I’m finding that the magic of MJ doesn’t come from that, but rather from the ability to resist crap. The ‘lust’/drive/itching for food has gone. I still feel hunger, but instead of finding say, blueberries and wetabix really dull, I can now enjoy those foods as much as a bar of chocolate or doughnut.

My first injection of 2.5mg was too strong for me, but at that dose I did get total suppression so I can understand that point of view. However, I would say if you’re unsure which dose, try discovering if you can keep calories deficit through food choice rather than total appetite blockade.

Well done @Dontlletmedownbruce! You definitely deserve that loss after a slow couple of weeks

Hi all, has anyone experienced sensitive skin patches? I have an area on my leg - not where I jabbed (I jabbed in my stomach on the other side). There's no redness or anything unusual when I look at it, but it really hurts to touch, or even if my clothes brush against it. Maybe it's unrelated, but seems odd. For ref I'm on week 10 and my 2nd week of 5mg. I have asked my supplier, just waiting for a response

@Junmaro I think what you're describing is the food noise. I am experiencing the same.

I finished my second pen last night and was pleased to get a 5th week out of it. I checked my new pen and it seems I should still get the golden dose out of that one too.

I've got a code because I referred a friend so can get a good price for my next pen. Tempted to order it already but I'm a bit nervous that after another month on 5 I might need to go up. No sign of that currently but it feels like 5 weeks is a long time on MJ and lots can change!

I did it! 2lb down and 1 stone & half a pound in total! 🎉🎉
My next pen arrives today, I’ll need to decide wether to stay on 3.75 or go up to 5! I’m thinking stay where I am for now although suppression is a bit hit & miss!

Well done!

I’m going to try this too! Yesterday was jab day and I always find I’m heavier as I have a workout on Thursday mornings.
