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

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

Ah that's rubbish, I'm sorry. As you say, maybe 2.5 will help. I'd say it's worth a try.

I think I will, if things don't improve rapidly in the next few days, I have too much to do to feel this exhausted!

Agreed - I have to be firing on all cylinders to get life done. 😊

Hello!

I am on holiday, so without a scale and eating without tracking.
Trying to keep the protein and water up. Will see how I’ve done “intuitively” on Mounjaro next Monday.

Had a major NSV - I don’t need an airplane seat extension anymore 🙌 I was well chuffed with that!

I took my 9th jab on Monday, and got 3 more 5mg jabs left, and a 2.5mg pen lined up.
Dare I say it, I have felt a bit less exhausted the past week but still crazy compared to 2.5mg.

After a maintain last week I am pleased that it's a loss this one and I'm now down 1.5 stone since the start of April. I did do a 3.75mg jab last Thursday so wonder if that gave my body the kickstart it needed? Who knows, I'm happy anyway! Had a clear out the other day and took a bin bag full of clothes to a charity shop, it did make me realise how many pairs of jeans I actually have, way, way too many!
How is everyone else doing?

I weighed in this morning and first time I've seen 10stone on the scales in a very long time. 10 stone 12. I had a bad week, busy and diet wasn't perfect but it's 2lb loss, so considering I ate out 3 nights with some vino I'm pleased. I was really worried about going and it setting me back so pleased.
That's my last 5 mg and I'm due to start 7.5 today. The 5 I was fine on after first two so worried about feeling low energy on 7.5 so I am waiting until tonight.
Hope everyone is having a good week. Xx

I also saw a new stone bracket today, the 11's! Very happy about that, it's been a while!

I bit the bullet and done my first 7.5mg jab. I'm hoping side effects clear quickly. Got a really important day Monday and need to be bright eyed and bushy tailed. I'm drinking loads water today & had my fibre & protein lol. 🤞

It’s jab number 8 for me, 2.5. I have lost 1 1/2lb this week and it’s been a total of 13lbs altogether.
It is really showing in my stomach area.

Well done @Isabelle70 it's so great when you can see a physical change!

My new pen arrived from a new provider and I'm absolutely thrilled that they sent extras! So 2 packs of 4 needles and a box of 100 alcohol wipes, that'll keep me going for a while 😂 not sure if it was accidental or not but it's perfect timing as I've got a 5mg pen to micro dose from and aiming for 3.3mg ish so it saves me buying separate needles!

Not expecting much of a loss this week despite eating fairly well as I've snacked a fair bit, but I took measurements again this week and have lost a few more cm off my waist and legs which I'm happy with!

so happy for people seeing new numbers. My kiwis wont ripen and so Im back with a bit of the bunged up. I had an under ripe one today, that should get things moving. I think Ive been so busy working that I forgot to drink and had a horrible headache for a couple of days, but it could be a bug. Im making sure I drink today.

Well done everyone. Brilliant achievements. New numbers too! 🙌

You've just reminded me that I need to do my measurements! Job for this evening. Jabbed last night, bit of a headache today, could be a coincidence but I've also had a completely blocked ear for 10 days now so might be related to that too. Must drink more water today too!

Weigh in day for me today and I’ve lost…. Just under 1 lb. I’m not surprised - I was travelling for work this week which meant I had dinners out and wine so pleased to have still lost overall.

I am supposed to move up to 5mg later today however I did have three alcoholic drinks at an event last night and was waking up nauseous in the night and then had a dodgy tummy this morning… so now I am bit worried about moving up!

Well done everyone, great to see such progress.
Another 2lbs down this week, and my BMI is now 25! 1 stone 11lbs down, and I can zip up my aspirationaly sized party dress up! Delighted, as my 50th celebration is four weeks away now.
My energy has lifted a bit over the last couple of days, so I shall stick with 3.75 and hope the fatigue improves next week.

@pomegranatepie that's amazing news. Well done for achieving your dress goal. I bet you will look and feel amazing. Xx

Week ten jab today and ninth weigh in.

Week 1 - 7lbs
Week 2 - 2lbs
Week 3 - 2lbs
Week 4 - 2lbs
Week 5 - 1lb
Week 6 - 1lb
Week 7 - 2lb (first 3.75 dose this week)
Week 8 - 3lb
Week 9 - 2lb

Starting weight: 15 stone 7lbs
Todays weight: 13 stone 13lbs

Into the 13's, yahooooo.

Happy weekend everyone. Keep up the great work. 😊

Well done 👍 xx

So i've done 8 jabs of 2.5mg so far. No massive side effects. Maybe occasional stomach cramps. The food noise and hunger are definitely coming back over last 2 weeks so I'm wondering whether to try 3.75mg on Monday. I just really don't want side effects to make an appearance...I also like that if I'm eating with friends I can eat a pretty normal meal at the moment without feeling sick. It makes it easy for me not to disclose I'm on jabs. But I guess I can always move back down if I don't like 3.75.
Ive lost 1st 8.5 so far and am a couple of pounds off being overweight instead of obese!
Well done everyone on great losses.

Thank you 😊

That’s interesting. I’ve ordered my first 5ml pen this week. I’ve still got a couple of doses at 2.5 to take but after that I think I’m going to up to 3.75. Looks like it’s working well for you 👍

I'd definitely say 3.75 is working for me. I do 45 clicks of my 5mg pen.

It gives me great suppression and no real side effects other than occasional heart burn but that's all. It's also cheaper.

Worth a go I'd say.

fantastic progress!!!

Weigh in today and a loss of 1.2 kg / 2.6 lbs
still on 2.5 and 'officially' the end of my 2.5 pen, but due to golden dose I still have 2 more doses. My 5mg pen is coming this week and I plan to keep on 2.5 as its working for me. I have a referral code to use from someone, and I will suspend my prescription on Bolt and use that for the next pen, and see if Bolt will offer me anything to come back- I know some of them do, so Im keeping fingers crossed. Im still well over the BMI needed to access other clinics easily and have time in hand to look around, so will be looking at the monj site to see how the land lies
