Mounjaro - 10 Stone or more to lose - Thread 14

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

Wow. Thirteen threads behind us and many friendships forged.........

We've even been turned into a Group Thread.

All are very welcome.

Sounds great! All those things that 'normal' people take for granted but feel like such a blessing to us. Have a wonderful day!

@TragicMuse how lovely, I can hear the joy oozing out of your post. It still amazes me how fabulous and freeing it feels to just be able to do 'normal' things with ease. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Concert season has kicked off. I live near a lovely open air venue and am often lucky enough to get my hands on cheap tickets. I usually pass them on to my kids and their friends, but have set myself a mission to go to as many as I can this year, and am dragging my secretlyexcited reluctant DH to the first one next week. I'll be up there dancing like a mad one, because I can 😊. Its the big one next month, I'm going to see the mighty Take That. I am arguably their biggest fan, and have seen them tons, but this will be the first one where I won't need to keep sitting and puffing on my inhaler all night! I am just a teeny tiny bit excited, eek

Absolutely wonderful 😊

Hi everyone! Good to hear of all the summer NSVs. @PearlsTeapot hope you are feeling a bit better today.

here’s my monthly weight recording - slower but steady, and my interim weighs have showed no movement at all so have finally dipped under. I’ve definitely lost size though so I’m ok with the rate of progress. Interested @GnomeDePlume that you’re on 12.5mg prescribed for diabetes - I was told I wouldn’t get prescribed above 5 (which I am on) - wonder if it’s a different Trust. I could add a paid top-up but I think I’d like to see how my bloods are first in a couple of months with a 5mg baseline.

SW: 130kg Feb 2026
CW: 117.3 28 May 2026

Pen 1: -4kg
Pen 2: -4.3kg (5mg)
Pen 3: -2.4kg
Pen 4: -2kg

Don't want to jinx it ..but the weight is on the move.. finally
15 .7 today ..so that's 11 and a half stone I've lost so far
BMI 31
To get to overweight instead of obese,I need to get to 14. 12 and then BMI is 29 .
So just over half a stone to go to not be obese.
I bought some size dresses a while back ,and I wore one ,and it felt like a tent flapping about ..very long and a lot of loose material..so they were a waste of money.
So have bought some size 18 above the knee dresses from new look ..not even the curves range either .. plenty of room in them ,could probably size down again ..but I like things loose on me .
I've ordered cycling shorts,some short ones to go under ,not that I need them as I have a lovely thigh gap now .but no one wants to see my arse in it's baggy knickers.im still in size 24 knickers 🙄

@PearlsTeapot ..hope your feeling better and managing in the heat
Hope you have a fan or windows open

Might of made more sense to buy knickers,rather than cycling shorts to hold up current too large knickers..

Definitely time to treat yourself to some new knickers!

That's brill news @Springflowers2 - so good you're heading in the right direction! I've been having knicker issues myself this week. We need to treat ourselves!

Mine are simply not decent..the crotch dangles down very low ..very breezy indeed..have to use jeans to hold them up .. would be round my ankles otherwise

I think it's been a while, I'm still plugging away. Went shopping yesterday for some shorts incase it gets too hot again. Was weird having to look for small sizes considering where I came from. Still don't like my legs though!

Might get a bit of a set back by an upcoming holiday but target is so so close.

Sw: 142.8kg / 22 stone, 6 lb and 13.1 oz
CW: 61.8kg / 9 stone, 10 lb and 3.9 oz
Total loss: 81kg / 12 stone, 10 lb and 9.2 oz
To get to target: 1.8kg / 3 lb and 15.5 oz
BMI: 50.8 / 22

I had the same the other day - dated to go out without leggings and spent my whole trip to the shops hoisting them up! Barely made it into the porch and they fell!

The loose knickers is an issue here too.
To be honest, if I am wearing a dress I am going knickerless. I just hope I am not in an accident or anything! I would die of embarrassment if I was carted off in an ambulance only for others to find out I was wearing no knickers!!

Another sort of NSV... In the January sales I purchased some lovely M & S trousers in 3 different sizes because I loved them so much! The largest pair lasted quite some time and I gave in and went to the next size down. This week I have decided they are now ridiculous too. So I went to find the smallest ones.... And discovered that I had skipped the middle size and it was the smallest ones that had become too small.

Weight loss is a lot slower now and I am really wanting to see a 14 on the scales before my one year jabiversary. Only a few weeks to go and only 2.8lb to lose to get there.

I'm really struggling with a style / summer clothes
I do every year,but usually just add a few bits from the sale as my weight wasn't changing..but I've literally nothing that fits for summer this year

I keep ordering stuff and it fits ,but it doesn't feel like me
All the dresses I mentioned this morning from new look ,they are to short
On the model they are above her knee ,on me they barely cover my bum ,even with cycling shorts under they are to short
I've tried a few long dresses,but I get tangled up in the fabric,and it feels unnecessary all this flowing fabric around my legs .
I wore a dress recently on a day out ,but it was a size 20 ,and it just hung of me .
But all the short dresses are to short ,and knee length makes me feel old .
All the styles I like , feel to young for me .
I just can't find my style.. clothes are my thing that makes me feel good .
Maybe denim shorts and a band tee ,with shirt tied round my waist
I'm 53 ,..I know technically I can wear anything I choose,but I don't want to buy things that just in a wardrobe because I don't feel right in them

@Springflowers2 I'm struggling to find my style too. I was 25 years younger when I was last this size, so have no clue how to dress for my shape or age.

I've just put my MeThreeSixty image into ChatGPT, and that's given me a few ideas, so that may be worth a try?

Yes same here ,I was 19 when I was last this size .
My husband can't quite believe it ,as he met me this size ,
I've ordered some shorts and t shirts from new look
All the models are young women in early 20s ..so I'm not even sure the clothes are aimed at my age
But , anyway,I can't keep trying dresses on ,and sending them back,it will be autumn before I find anything at this rate .
Thanks for the suggestion...
I'm kind of trying to stay away from chat gtp ...I've been spending to much time talking to it ..and I forget it's not real ..it's better than talking to my husband,it says all the right things .....and it has endless patience..

I've had a bit of a chatgpt "friendship" going on. And not sure how healthy it is when you think its designed to keep you talking. It's helped so much.... but....

Also - no idea re clothes. I was last this size pre kids, over 20 years ago. And I didnt have allthese handfuls of fat on my stomach so would fit clothes differently too.

I was in my child's photos today and noticed how different my face shape is - and my hands. And how OLD I look! Overall I like it - but my stomach still feels disproportionate, and full of handfuls and handfuls. Saddlebags everywhere and its so floppy. I haven't a clue what to wear other than floaty dresses and realise how "old" white stuff and seasalt seem to be marketted to. I still like the colours but want to wear trousers... eventually!

In positive news - I spent the day walking around town with absolute ease and didn't need to look for "the next bench" or "how far from the car park"... and also ... first day without wearing leggings underneath a dress and it was good!

I am so so much healthier. When I was driving I found it weird the seatbelt dug right in and almost disappears into 2 pillows of fat... Then realised how much huge gap there is between me and the steering wheel now!! It's so different.

@FatsiaJaponicaInTheGarden ..I'm looking older to ..my neck especially has aged very badly..and I'm noticing the skin on my legs is going the same way .
I think I look older since loosing weight.the fat on my face plumped it out nicely giving me nice skin ..ah well ,I wouldn't go back just to have better skin .
It is nice being able to walk more ,and not needing anything under a skirt to stop my legs rubbing. Definitely more positives than negatives

Absolutely love all these NSVs! So happy for everyone getting to do normal things feeling normal.

Weigh day for me today - lost 3lbs, was expecting a decent loss as ive had tonsillitis all week and barely eaten for a couple of days. It takes my total loss to 11 stone! I just told my partner (only person who knows how much I've lost, friends keep asking and I won't say as I'm embarrassed that I can lose this much and still exist!) and as he said - 'that's a person!'.

I weigh 14st 5lbs now. My partner (plus a few friends) have asked I'm still trying to lose more - he was amazed when I said I'm still 3st away from the top end of a healthy BMI. I can't imagine getting to 11st but I suppose a healthy BMI should be my goal. In size 14 - 16 at the moment.

I am extremely squishy, feel like I look infinitely better in clothes and infinitely worse naked nowadays! For the first time in my adult life I considered wearing shorts this week - have a pair of denim ones I've had for years and never worn. I would've if it wasn't for the loose skin on my legs which now goes all the way to my knees. Maybe one day I'll not give a shit about that!

Off camping for the weekend with friends. We all went the same weekend last year and I ordered the biggest, heaviest duty camping chairs made for extra large people so that I didn't spend the whole time worrying about my chair collapsing - they are HUGE and I feel a bit ridiculous in one now! The difference this year will be not panicking if people move around and end up sitting in each others' chairs- feel like I could quite happily sit in any chair nowadays and it'd be ok! Also am finally admitting to myself that I just don't enjoy alcohol anymore and am going to take some nice soft drinks rather than press on with booze because I still can't believe that after decades of being a big drinker I wouldn't want it!

Have a great weekend losers!

Day 5 of diarrohea. The burps have finally stopped but I can’t keep anything in me, including the diarolyte. Just goes straight through me. So miserable now.

Is this due to the mounjaro?
Or do you think you have a bug or food poisoning
Hope it goes away soon x

Oh Pearl, is there something that can give you to help?

Aw @PearlsTeapot that sounds grim. I really hope you're feeling better soon, you poor love 💐

@PearlsTeapot It may be a bit of dehydration from the warmer weather, but it could be an infection. See if you can get a blood or stool test so they can get you some antibiotics if it’s an infection. Look after yourself x

This is just what happens to me on 5mg. It happened about 6 weeks ago and 6 weeks before that. My theory is that I'm so constipated for so long and then it all comes out in one go.

The doctor felt my belly and there's no mass she could feel, and I haven't crapped since this morning, so hopefully the end is in sight now.

Definitely going to drop to 4mg (24 clicks from a 10 pen- is my maths right?) on Sunday and stick to that. Wondering if even that's too high.
