April 26 Mounjaro Weight Loss Starters. (title edited by MNHQ at request of the OP)

[TFICoffeetime]

Hi starting mounjaro this week is there a thread already set up I can join?

Also looking for this! Starting on Thursday. Pen arrived today! Eek!

I think you just made it! I was like you a year ago - I ended up making the first ‘late April 2025’ threads and we are still going now - one of the only threads I’ve ever started on here despite using the site since 2011 and I am so glad I did. Seeing this I can’t quite believe we are almost a year later - our April group have lost an astonishing amount of weight and improved health in so many ways - wishing you all the same - you’ll see a big differences by summer, it’s truly life-changing 😃

That's so nice of you to say. Well done. X

I did Mounjaro last August for a month I had full appetite suppression, then stopped due to finances. I have just restarted, and on my 2nd week of 2.5mg and have no appetite suppression at all, does anyone have any advice please, should I up my dose on 3rd week?

I’m joining in, also just got my pen today and waiting for Thursday evening in case of side effects over the weekend.

I’m looking forward to starting too. My plan is to start Wednesday and then I am off work for two weeks. I’ve ordered my Pen. 11 stone 2 and 5ft 1 and gone with Voy

Thanks for started the thread. Hope all goes well for everyone

@TFICoffeetime might be worth reporting your thread and asking them to change the title to reflect it being the new April 26 starters thread?

I might jump on this if you don't mind OP as l did my 1st jab on 21st March so a little later than some on the March thread.

I started 20th March

How are you getting on?

Not so great, I tried last year for a month on 2.5 then had to give it up, the appetite suppression was great then. Did my 2nd dose Friday and I’m still constantly hungry. I was 16st 5lb on first weigh in and 15st 9lb today, but that was pure will power, which is hard for me as I work from home so easy access to food lol. I am pleased with my loss, hoping the appetite suppression will kick in when o increase to 5mg. How are you getting on?

Ah stick with it and hopefully it'll kick in soon. I am feeling great thanks - never been in such control and although it's not cheap, l am saving mo ey on not going out. Had a bit of constiwhich is no fun but am drinking loads.
But still early days so will see how we go x

That’s brilliant, hopefully it will kick in on the 5mg dose for me, only side effect I had was I’m freezing cold all the time. I have all the criteria to have it prescribed, diabetic, high blood pressure and cholesterol but the GP wont prescribe it. I haven’t bought any takeaways or sweet treats so it has paid for itself x

I started mine on Sunday. I've not noticed a massive appetite suppression but I'm certainly not eating as much as I would usually. Looking at ways to try to get more protein and fibre in my diet as I've been tracking my food and that's still low

@Iwannadancewithsomebody88 do you use an app to track food? Good luck on your WL journey.

I started 23rd March so would like to join please. No side effects but only a 1.5lb loss this week. I took my second jab yesterday. Starting weight is 12.5, BMI of 27.9.

Yes, I'm using the Team RH (stupidly signed up last year before I knew how bad he was so getting my money's worth now!). I've also chat gpt advice so going on a big shopping trip today to buy more yoghurt, seeds and fibre filled goodies!!
I seem to have put on 3lbs since Sunday though so not a great start 😢

Thanks for all coming here & sharing stories. Hopefully we can all be able to help support each other as we go through this.
Some questions, I won't be great at answering as I now plan to start after Easter Weekend. But will help show support for you all.
I have about 4 stone to loose. So guess I will be on the journey a while.
My main question at the moment is - does anyone recommend any protein powders, supplements.
I've ordered collagen powder, then a pea protein
& looking to get some additional minerals for bones and muscles, as I don't want to lose muscle...I need the little I have. Lol!
I don't really understand how much I'm supposed to eat but have a juicer so might try use that.
Good luck all. Let's do this.
👏

can I join I’ve just had confirmation my jab has been approved so I’m waiting on delivery of it. It should be here in the next couple of days

The box is safely in the fridge and I'm bricking it about starting! I have a few friends that have been doing this a while so I've been asking them for tips! Planning on starting Thursday evening so I have good Friday off if any side effects.
One friend has said to make sure you up your water intake, I'm awful at drinking enough so that'll be a challenge in itself!
I'm unsure food wise what I should be eating from Thursday onwards, more protein, no fatty sugary foods? What about caffeine? 🫣

🙋Me too please. Can I join? Just got approved today so waiting for delivery. Apprehensive but excited too. Got about 2.5 stone to lose. If I manage it I’ll be ecstatic.
Good luck everyone!!

I'm feeling a bit down. I've had 2 does of 2.5 and only lost 1/2 lb. DH has had 3 does of 2.5 and somehow lost 10lb. I can already see he's lost weight around his face. We are both drinking loads of water, 2-3 litres each day. We take MJ on Fridays. He's only got 1 more 2.5 dose then will be on a 5 dose. A month goes quickly.

I know it sounds a bit strange but I used chat gpt to give me a rough idea of food intake and what my diet should look like. I've realised I'm not eating enough fibre or protein so have asked chat gpt for advice on that and what to eat to help increase it.
With water I've been having a small amount of sugar free juice or electrolytes to add flavour - I hate plain water!!
Good luck

snap!! 😀I’m hoping to lose ideally the same amount of weight as you are fingers crossed
