June 2026 Mounjaro Starters

[rosecbrm]

Hi all,

Ive bit the bullet and have ordered and been accepted to start mounjaro through Voy.

something I’ve been debating for a while but finally decided to try it. I had a baby last year and have managed the get back down to pre baby weight, but still have a bit extra to lose, I want to lose around 1.5/2st.

I regularly exercise through swimming a few times a week but diet is very up and down hence being at a standstill with my weight, so wanted the extra help to create some better relationships with food. I’ll be good all week and then ruin it in a few days with takeaways and snacks!

Nervous but excited!

Wanted to make this thread for anyone else starting their journey soon! Anyone else in the same boat?

Current weight: 12st 10 / 5ft5

Same here in sleep - going to cut down caffeine a bit as wonder if that is just going through my system more slowly?

Sounds like most people are making great progress so far!

Just started my 2nd Pen, down 4.3kg (9lb) since the start! Can't believe how easy it has been to lose the weight. I've stayed on 2.5mg as I had some really bad d+v the first 3 weeks, so I want that to settle and I'm still feeling the surpression.

Third dose today and 4 lbs down this week, 12.5 lbs total! Very happy with it and hope not to have a bad reaction to dose 3!

I don’t know what this is? Would like to hear more, if you don’t mind 😊

@littleraecloud The pen actually arrived today, but I’ve got a headache and bit of nausea this evening (feels hormonal) and I haven’t felt like dinner, so I’m going to wait until tomorrow. I’m quite scared though!

I’m starting tomorrow, is it better to inject in the morning or evening?

Do I need to be careful what I eat during the first days in case of tummy upset?

I think they are changing the pens in the near future to only have 4 doses but mine are the original ones…basically you’ll do your 4 doses and then the pen mechanism will stop working but there is still a full dose of liquid left in it.
You need to use a syringe to pull it out of the pen and then inject (0.6ml is a dose so a 1ml syringe is ideal).
There will probably be loads of discussions on it in other threads, it’s usually referred to as the golden dose

Apparently you can force the clicker round to get the golden dose so I'll try that first and if not get a syringe. From what I remember reading they've already changed the 5mg and maybe 10mg pens to the new style.

Just about to take my third dose. Thinking of ordering 5mg but doing 3.75mg. Has anyone done this? I know I will have to count the clicks but I don’t know much about it.

Sw 80.15kg / 12.8st
W1 77.85kg / 12.3st (5lb)
W2 76.75kg/ 12.1st (2.4lb)
total loss = 7.4lb

So happy I am finally loosing. Hoping to loose 2lb a week 🤞🏼

@HNAN36 rhats a great loss well done! I'm planning on doing the same. You can find the click dose easily enough online but I'm pretty sure it's 45 clicks (5mg=60clicks 2.5mg=30 so 3.75=45)

Jab and weigh in day today. Surprised to see I haven’t lost anything this week, but sure I read somewhere that this can happen in week 3, so although I’m a little disappointed, I’m not overly concerned. It’s a long game, after all! Still not 100% about whether to go up to 5mg next time. I’m due to order today so need to make the decision!

Thank you @WishiwasatailorI think I am going to give that a go. I’m due on in the next week so I know that means my weight will fluctuate a little 🤦🏼‍♀️

How are you getting on?

Good morning, can I join please? First injection Thursday evening and so far it’s been ok. Nausea and restless sleep the first night. Felt a bit achy yesterday and didn’t sleep well again last night. Appetite practically zero and struggling to find things I want to eat. Drinking plenty of water. Have about 2.5 stone to lose x

Hello 👋 My first pen arrives today. Feeling nervous! I’m 5ft 3 and 70KG. Would love to get to 60kg which was my weight for decades! I had a premature menopause, underactive thyroid and lipadeoma, which were all pretty much diagnosed at once. Since then I’ve really struggled to lose weight, despite being very active and eating healthily. Hoping the MJ will
give me a boost. Very nervous about starting and side effects. I have a big wedding to attend in 12 days time … I’m not sure whether to start before or after? Just worried about any side effects at the wedding (I’ll be away from home for four days ). What do you think?

@Frolieexactly the same stats as me! I took my 7th dose last night and I now weigh 64kg. This stuff is magic! I found the first few weeks really hard with nausea but realise now this was due to not eating for hours and hours. If I eat breakfast lunch and dinner, small portions and have them even with no appetite, I don’t feel sick. If I were you I would just start now and get any side effects over with before you are away.

Just done my fourth jab. I've only lost a pound on week 3 but my suppression just wasn't there this week. I need to get organised to ensure I'm getting my protein in as I know I just haven't been 'on it' this week and definitely haven't drunk enough water. So at least a loss, which is better than I was expecting and onwards to a new week. I might need to go up to 5mg if the suppression doesn't come back.

Having said all that, I went out for a meal last night and could only eat half of it. Only had about three of the chips as I just didn't feel like them and then didn't have a pudding (even though sticky toffee pudding was on the menu!) so something is obviously happening to my appetite.

3rd jab & weight in this morning. 3lbs down this week (11.4lbs in total).

I’m thinking I’ll stay on 2.5mg for my next pen but going to wait a few more days before ordering to see how this week is going before I commit, especially if people think week 3 tends to be a tricky one for weight loss.

Hi @Chiffchaff7 I’m going to take my first jab today. I received it on Thursday evening but wanted to read through everything, so put it off until Friday, then chickened out as I already had a bit of a headache and had family coming over. I’m definitely going to take it today though!

I thought about mid-afternoon, so that I’ve had a meal and a chance to drink quite a bit of water. I really don’t want my sleep to be affected as I suffer with that anyway.

Hope you start feeling better soon.

Good luck @ElviraZoffany !

Daye 5 today & I was pretty hungry yesterday afternoon/evening! Strange feeling 🤣 had some extra calories as I'm not here to strlarve myself and they were still lower than I'd ever end a day on usually.

Weighed myself this morning & 3lb down.
Good start!

Thanks @littleraecloud !

I’ve just realised there’s only needles in the pack.

Is that a mistake, are we supposed to order them separately or is it a ploy to get the next order in as soon as possible?!

@ElviraZoffany I am also starting today! Did the first jab about an hour ago, was advised that after Saturday lunch was quite a good time to start so there was time for any immediate side effects to be felt over the weekend!

Week three for me. I’ve lost a stone only another 7 to go lol) . No side effects unless I forget to eat (which is novel)… and I’ve made friends with the protein section at Lidl.

My post above was supposed to say that there’s only THREE needles in my pack!

Is this normal?

No side effects since the first jab at lunchtime today, apart from a rather impressive burp after my small dinner. 😁

Good luck @HelenDenver !
