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

Ok, I got on with it. Will keep you posted!

Great - I'm getting mine developed this afternoon. Good luck

I had my first injection on Saturday morning so think this thread is better for me than the January one☺️
i have had no real problems but do still feel hungry. Greek yogurt and fruit snacks, with lots of water have certainly sated it. My issue is portion control- when I do eat, I eat a lot. I stood on the scales and it is working, so I’m motivated.
my blood pressure is really high and the blood tests suggests very high cholesterol and issue of diabetes. I’m four and a half stone overweight so it shouldn’t be a shocker. That said, my energy levels are great today and I just feel better.
i need this to work and, at nearly 60, I realise it’s imperative I get my arse into gear.
Take the injections ladies, if your doubting, and anxious, it gives hope that we can feel better! While I don’t like to be ‘big’ this is more about my health and self esteem.The best of luck to all of you - be brave and patient 😊

No appetite suppression but terrible diarrhoea in the middle of the night. Thank goodness for the supplied Loperamide.
Now three pounds down.

I started last Weds but would prefer to be here at very different to people who started beginning of Feb.

I’ve lost 4lbs so far on Mounjaro

Suppression has kicked in for me today feel abit nauseous but able to carry on with my day had breakfast and lunch just smaller portions. Is anyone else on wegovy?

Bolt has approved my order so just waiting for it s to come!
hopefully will join you soon I’ve chosen wegovy after trying one shot of mounjaro in 2024

My MJ pen arrived an hour ago and I’ve jabbed already before I lost my nerve! Will report back…

had my second this evening. Much easier this time (I’m squeamish!)

After much pacing and fretting, I’ve just injected my first dose of mj. Feeling a bit weak at the knees! Fingers crossed for a smooth ride.

Just waiting to decide which day to start.

how is everyone feeling who has started on this now?

would love to hear a daily breakdown of your first week or so, so I can be prepared as to what to expect

Hey, I also took my first dose this evening.It took me ages to read the instructions and needed support by my partner. The actual injection was harmless, I didn't feel a thing.

let's see how it goes ..

Would very much like to be included in the March intake. Approved by Bolt this morning after being made to take a highly dodgy photo of my big girl body. About four stone to lose so want to crack on really. Too many sad fat years to count so hope to put them behind me with the help of mounjaro.

Lots of sad fat years for me too. Feeling so determined to be slimmer this summer. Suppression is good, still feeling slightly hungry when it’s time to eat and I do want the kids chocolate in the cupboard but managing some self control!! Whether that’s the jabs or motivation who knows!

is everyone planning on doing a weekly weigh in?

I’m weighing Thursday mornings (jabbing on Weds eves).

SW 115.4 (am after first jab)
TW 65 (top end of normal BMI which seems like such a pipe dream atm, but maybe I will adjust it if I get nearer).

Feeling ok so far. No noticeable suppression, but I don’t tend to eat breakfast so a bit early to tell. Feel fine, but a bit of a headache. DH and DC2 have woken up with colds, so it may be that. Drinking plenty and keeping my distance!

Hi all,

I received my first pen today (MJ). Have procrastinated for over a year now, time to lock in!

Just weighed myself now, 13st 10lbs. I’d say I have around 5 stone to lose as I’m quite short.

I’m planning to jab in the evening tonight after dinner so if any side effects, hopefully I’ll be asleep and won’t notice! Looking forward to going on this journey with everyone 😊

I jabbed for the first time on Monday.

I’ve not had any side affects at all thankfully. I have definitely looked for snacks less and I haven’t been craving carbs which is a miracle as before carbs made up about 90% of my diet.

I’ve found it easy to stick to 1400 calories without feeling deprived.

my starting weight is 15.8 and I’m 5”7. I’d love to get down to 11 stone.

I’m finding it hard to increase my activity due to time constraints at the moment but I’m hoping to fit more in on the weekend.

Very similar stats and aim as me! :)

I am almost a week into my first Mounjaro pen. Appetite suppression has been really good, I am eating 3 times a day, clean and healthy food, loads of water, zero snacks and I am pretty sure I have lost weight. I've also upped my exercise massively and am speed walking every day as well as doing weights and online workouts.
My main problem is side effects, I feel terrible, and have done since the morning after I did the first jab - thumping headache, heartburn and light headed. I've been relying on painkillers and Gaviscon and I was hopeful that after the first couple of days I'd feel better, but I don't. Bit nervous about doing my second jab at the weekend, but I really need this to work and to get me off the yoyo diets once and for all.
Glad to hear very few others have any side effects and hoping mine will wear off soon

Just done my first jab. A little bit apprehensive

First day and all ok, no issues, did feel a bit hungry this afternoon but it went off. Ate a fairly small dinner, by my usual standards, and actually feel really full so positive start!

Well done everyone so far hope you all are ok, my pen was delivered today and I gave my first injection at 10pm very apprehensive! Plus I messed up the injection slightly I pressed pen down until it went to zero but instead of keeping my finger on an counting to 6 I let go then realised and pushed it again while counting to six chat gpt and Reddit say it’s fine and I still would have got my first dose and won’t die! So that’s good!

I have had MJ in my fridge for a week or so and finally went for it this afternoon. Realistically I have about 7 stone to lose to be healthy. I haven't noticed any change so far and felt a bit disappointed but now that I have read this thread I'm more hopeful that I might start to notice a difference tomorrow. I'm a bit impatient!

Sorry your are not feeling goodI hope you feel better soon Sheba and adjust to your dose let us know how you feel tomorrow.

On my second week and annoyingly have felt much hungrier this week, nine days and three pounds down
