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

This is not a shameless brag...

Does anyone else forget they are on Mounjaro? I don't overeat but can still eat well, just not too much. And I'm not impulsive with food so that's nice. I don't remember forgetting about being on Mounjaro last time.

I have been away for the last 6 days. I will go back and have a catch up on all of your updates. We got back yesterday. I didn’t eat lots while away as I still have a good suppression. I did eat some unhealthy options but not everyday and not excessively. I didn’t have any alcohol or drink fizzy drinks but I don’t think I drank half as much water as I would usually. I haven’t done my workouts but have walked lots. I am also due on in the next few days. I have gained 2.2lb but not overly bothered. We had a great time and now back on it.

I did my next dose when I got home yesterday (normal day) and did 5mg instead of 3.75mg. I hadn’t moved up due to going away and the extreme of the side effects when I moved up to 3.75mg. However knowing I had gained and that the weight loss had slowed significantly I decided to give it a go.

I am feeling it today with the 5mg dose. I feel nauseous and not eaten much at all.

SW 80.15kg / 12.8st
W11 70.90kg/11.2st (-0.8lb)
W12 71.90kg/11.4st (+2.2lb)
Total loss 1st 3.9lb
TW 9.7st

I think I’m quite like you @Shortsally42 - I don’t feel unable to eat or anything, just easier to make better choices

Well done on all the losses.

@A671090I went from 2.5mg to 3.75mg and had awful side effect nausea constantly and some diarrhoea. This was quite bad for the first 3-4ish weeks. But gradually eased. At first it was lasting most the week. Then lessened. I only just yesterday after 8 weeks on 3.75mg went up to 5mg and the side effects have returned. Hopefully it will ease again over the next few weeks. I noticed my weight loss has slowed significantly but didn’t want to up a dose before going away and be meh all week. Maybe try 3.75mg? I counted the clicks on the 5mg pen then used a sharpie to mark in on my one.

@GoldpantherI am the same. I do feel in in my clothes but I look in the mirror and can’t see it!

@JuniperRosyI did have some dizziness when going up to 3.75mg but put it down to nausea, being sick, diarrhoea and not eating/keeping much down. Probably low blood sugars for me. It’s good to hear the 5mg has boosted your weight loss, I have just moved up too 🤞🏼

Well this week, drumroll, Ive lost 3lb!! So down to 13.5. (Ive only lost 1lb a week at the most since I started).

Didn't do anything different at all. But very pleased.

Great progress @Seagullsandsausagerolls

This month I lost about 0.4kg a week. My target is 0.5kg but I'm not surprised as I have barely exercised. I also kept the calorie intake as though I was exercising.

In victory news, I was delighted to see my scales at 69.9kg 😁 this morning though. No more 70s for me!

I genuinely & inadvertently ended up in some photos from an event I attended recently. The photos are all over the social media of the place. It's really nice that for once I'm not ducking the camera, and I don't look fat!

Well done @Seagullsandsausagerolls. And @Shortsally42that is still a great loss. I am hoping to head below 70kg in the next couple of weeks!

WOW! The suppression on 5mg. I have barely eaten a thing over the last two days. Not actually been sick but the nausea is another level. Just thinking of eating is making me 🤢.

How is everyone?

Well done to everyone who's lost this week. I lost 3lb again this week, which I was delighted with! I'm hoping to be in the 16 stones by next week.
