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

What a great loss @Chiffchaff7 we are now a similar weight.

I started on 3rd June and this week is my 14th and my 2nd 5mg pen.

i have finally broached the stone mark 🙌 and have gone from 12:7.2 to 11:6.7. It’s been a very slow process, as approx 8 pounds was lost on the first pen. So, that aside, I’m averaging 0.5 pound a week.

I think I’ll go up to 7.5mg for my next pen. But I’m still thrilled 🤩 .

What’s got things moving this week (1.5 pounds down) seems to be the addition of a new evening job to my usual job (so an extra 2.5 hours manual labour and 12k steps to and from).

onwards and downwards everyone 🥂

Sleepeazie · 11/09/2026 09:30

Oh I also just remembered that i jabbed on day 6 this time too…

AplineDaisies · 12/09/2026 23:29

I've gone up to 3mg but I don't feel the suppression at this level so will try 3.75mg before going up to 5mg. Anyone else done similar?

Goldpanther · 14/09/2026 11:36

@Chiffchaff7 well done on your weight loss!

I've done 3 months on 2.5mg, down 12kg (almost 2 stone) and then went down to 2mg,1.5mg,1mg and this is my second week of not jabbing 😬😬

I still have a 5mg pen as backup, but happy with my weight and don't want to get obsessed with just losing more and more weight. I'm going to try maintain for the next 3 months and then reassess.

Seagullsandsausagerolls · 16/09/2026 10:44

After a bit of an up and down week or two I've lost a 1lb so down to 13.4.

Hopefully Im feeling a bit better and back on track! Between the end and mum has quite advanced Alzheimers I lost focus. I actually missed an injection without noticing.

We're back on the Very Hungry Greek app picking our favourites again and staying as far away as possible from Woe is Me "aka Just Eat app" in the house 😂

Tonight Hoisin Crispy Beef and Egg Fried Rice.

Edited as I can't type, Ive endo Im not waiting for my end (hopefully).

Sleepeazie · 16/09/2026 14:34

I posted last week, how id finally lost 1.5 pounds on week 14- having been stagnant for a couple of months really with a (prior) total weight loss of 13lbs.

This week I have lost another 1.2 pounds.

i thought I’d update as I was a bit despondent with my weight loss journey, and I think it’s helpful for any new starters to see different journeys. So in summary I pretty much lost all my weight on pen 1, week 1. Then a small amount on pen 2, essentially nothing on pen 3 and have picked up the pace averaging 1lb+ a week on pen 4.

Everyone’s journey and response to Mounjaro is really different.

Some great losses on here.

Good morning all ❤️ Week 13 completed on 2.5mg and another 3lb off! Now taking me to 11st 6lb and a total of 3st 6lb lost. I’m now below my initial target weight. I’m genuinely thrilled but also quite nervous about whether I want to maintain or continue on and see if I how I feel. To be in the 10 stone bracket would be amazing so I’m considering a final target weight of 10st 12lb - this would be a 4 stone loss which blows my mind! Jab 14 this morning. Hope everyone is well and has a good week xx

@Chiffchaff7 yoir losses have been amazing. I’d love to know your secret.

I have posted about my sudden surge of weight loss (on the penultimate jab from my 4th pen) and I’m pleased to say this has continued. This morning I weighed in at 11:4.6. Officially overweight.

I get married on 30th October, and my dress was made to measure. So I’m now in a conundrum of not wanting this weeks epic loss to continue at its current pace… but actually wanting it to 😂.

looking to lose another 1 - 1.5 stone overall. So half way there.

Hope everybody else is doing well 🤗

HelenDenver · 18/09/2026 12:16

Well done on the improved BMI milestone @Sleepeazie !

Shortsally42 · 18/09/2026 20:40

What an exciting incentive and dilemma! @Sleepeazie Great news.

This is going to be sound like a humble brag to some. I promise it's not. I'm just nearing the end of 3 weeks of travel. All work related and only home on weekends.

I've had great fun mixing and matching clothes. I've made the weekends fun by trying on different combinations of a very simple wardrobe. Have loved having no worry at all about clothes being too tight or making me look fatter than I was. It's actually encouraged me to shop my wardrobe more often. The best thing is it hasn't cost me a penny. Thoroughly recommend it!

Notweirdatall · 19/09/2026 15:33

Well done @Sleepeazie!!! Trying on all your clothes with new eyes sounds like a great idea @Shortsally42 - we’re going away in 3 weeks so I might try the same this weekend. The one thing I’ve had to rebuy is a swimsuit as my old one was way too big and baggy now!

Another 1.5lb this week so 31.5lbs down and hoping for another 3lbs off before we go. Have found the suppression quite high again this week after a full pen of lower suppression - does anyone know why this changes along the way?!

Happy Saturday everyone xx

TheLoupGarou · 19/09/2026 16:57

First week on 7.5mg this week and i lost a pound 🎉
Am v happy to see the scales moving again after 4 week plateau.
Start weight - 13st 11 lb (start of June, altnough i did lose a few pounds i think before i started MJ)
Today's weight - 12st 1.5lb
So total loss 1st 9.5lb so far.

I am so desperate to get under 12st 🙏 I am going to be extra good with tracking calories this week.
I would like to get another stone and a half off - slow and steady I guess...

Hi everyone. I'm checking back in for the first time in a couple of weeks.

I lost 2lb last week, which I was delighted with after staying the same the week before.

I've then had 8 days on holiday where I tried to balance making healthy choices and keeping up my gym regime with allowing myself a few treats (including a fantastic Michelin Star tasting menu). As a result I only gained 1lb, whereas it would usually have been much more than that, so I was pleased with that.

Aiming for 3lb off next week. Wish me luck!

Start date: 15 June 2026
Starting weight: 18st 7lb
Current weight: 17st 0lb
Loss so far: 1 stone 7lb
Initial target weight: 12st 6lb
