My first jabs arrived today. Thinking of starting Wednesday which is technically end of April but wanted to start a new group for anyone starting soon!

Nervous but kind of excited for good results. Watched a YouTube video instruction for the pen before, I might get my husband to do it for me!!

Anyone want to join me and share / support each other??

Hi! I started Mounjaro last week.

SW: 96KG
Height: 176cm
BMI: 32

Goal Weight: 60 KG / BMI 20

I've gained an incredible amount of weight, and I think contributing factors are being on the Depo injection since 2022 and taking Mirtazipine for depression.

I've stopped the Depo, last injection was 12 weeks ago, and plan to stop Mirtazipine over the next few months. So these changes long with Mounjaro should be a winner?!

@JojoButBetter welcome, hope the MJ works well for you

Have had 3 jabs of 2.5 now, barely any food noise until later in the day so I’m basically fasting overnight and into late afternoon at least. Have only lost 2lb so far but now trying to increase water to 2 litres a day to see if that helps. Suppose I should also cut down on the rosè as well 🫣 although somehow the noise reduction doesn’t seem to work on wine!! Good luck everyone 🙌🏼🙏🏼

I’m feeling quite unwell today: bloated, nauseous, headachey and lethargic.
But so is my husband! He’s not on the jabs so I think we may have a bug.

Can I please join here?

My start weight was 13st 2 in mid Jan (after having a baby last year) and I lost a around 6/7 pounds by myself before I started on Mounjaro in February. I had to stop dieting after a few weeks but was given the all clear by the doctors a couple of weeks ago to restart. So I restarted on 9th May at 12st 10.

My stats so far:

SW: 12st 10
CW: 12st 5
GW: 10 stone

I have had no symptoms so far apart from a bit of constipation but enjoying being free of the food noise!

Hi everyone. I hope everyone is feeling full and not wanting to snack 😂 I’ve ordered my first pen from assured pharmacy, they were great but I didn’t want to pay the full price for my second pen, so I’ve jumped across to Numan. Here is £100 off your first order if any one else wants to try. I ordered the 5mg but will count clicks and continue on 2.5mg. With the £100 off this worked out at £127.88 which felt like a good price for the 5mg pen.

Well, today I’ve learnt a valuable lesson…Chinese takeaway and MJ do NOT mix. Had a very modest portion(noodles, teeny bit of rice, couple bits of peking chicken and a spring roll) Felt sick as a dog as soon as I ate it and 10 mins later my head was in the toilet. I’d only had a skyr yogurt all day… thought a small portion be ok but nope. Sad times

Are you me? I started with exact same stats 😆

KittensAndCupcakes · Yesterday 19:20

@UntilTheVeryEnd Yikes! Thanks for the warning. Hope you are feeling ok now.

KittensAndCupcakes · Yesterday 19:22

@2025MUM2025 @UntilTheVeryEnd our very own stat twins! 😆

@MrsBuntyS I hope you and your husband can have a relaxing weekend. It sounds like you have had a very stressful time of it.

I have only managed 882 calories today - and just 38g of protein. The fridge is bare as the weekly shop isn't due until Saturday, and I'm feeling stuffed after sea bass, broccoli and mash for dinner. Despite that, I'm eyeing up the wine bottle... it seems MJ doesn't work on that bit of the 'noise' for some of us.

@UntilTheVeryEnd I'm planning a curry tomorrow night (not takeaway), but you have me worried now!

KittensAndCupcakes · Yesterday 21:34

@TeamsThemeTune I’ve been fine with curry. In curry house and home made. Hope you will be too!
