April 2026 Mounjaro Starters thread 2

[NorthDevonBeachLover]

Looks like our first thread is almost full so thought I'd start a new one and link it.
The one where we head into the summer feeling lighter and hopefully on the right path x

I had my check in with the nurse, all going well and she suggested multi vitamins, anyone else taking them? I take vitamin D as that’s really low.

Thank you, I am also wondering if it is a blip and just my body trying to keep with what is happening. My headache has gone today and I am not as hungry as I have been and even though the scales have not shown it this week my husband looked at me last night and said I was looking smaller all over. I have stuck to 3.75g again today and I am going to keep going as I am and see how this week goes.

I had to see the nurse this week to have an ulcer dressed and asked her to weigh me for their records. They were old scales and said 135. I was 138 in April and have definitely lost more than 3kg, it is 10kg by my own scales, so I told her not to record it as it couldn't be right. The April weigh was done on digital scales as she said it would be more accurate :( She couldn't find them this week.

I can't believe how far out they were.

I have definitely lost weight because I fit into things easier, I have gone down a size in trousers and tops.

7.5 is giving good suppression, some days I struggle to eat 1200 calories. I haven't manage to increase movement due to a bad knee and trapped nerve, but I am in a deficit every day.

I have been on multivits and vitamin D since covid, and also take prescribed iron and folic acid due to always having low levels in blood tests.

I have had a couple of days of very weird eating - under my calories but just not remembering and then eating, literally, half a duck I roasted which was in the fridge instead of cooking. and forgetting to drink. I know its because Im busy and have been trying to do too much - its a week until our pop up campsite opens at the farm and I had to run a workshop, plus just all over the place. Thios is where it goes wrong!
Suppression still good on 2.5 but keeping on top of tracking has gone a bit haywire

I have had a similar week of eating, it's been incredibly busy, I haven't stopped really -and too hot to eat or cook.

I had my pre holiday weight in this morning, and have hit another milestone, I am now under 11 stone, it felt great to see a new number on the scale. I fully expect this to have gone up by the time I get home in two weeks, but for the first time I feel really relaxed about this, as I know it will be temporary.

I put on the Toast dress and although my boobs are too tight (I didnt have a bra on so they were by my knees but I could sense where they would have been) the size 12 went on. which is a miracle as I am nmost definately not a size 12

Onwards we go.

Well done everyone, everyone's doing such a great job. 🙂

week 13 jab and down 1.3kg this week, despite the weird eating

so a total loss of 14.2kg / 2 st 3 lbs

starting weight 14 st 11 lbs
current weight 12 st 8lbs

target weight is around the 9 - 9.5 stone. If I go over 10 st it impacts my lymphodema and my legs start swelling, then everything spirals from there - think its something to do with compression of lymph vessels in my groin

Hi!

SW 150
SW mounjaro 135.7
CW 122.1
-13.6kg in 14 weeks

past week lost -0.6kg, but it was a very strange week. I had stomach bug 2 days and then was SO hungry. Ate way over calorie allowance so deficit was very small across the week, was expecting to gain or maintain.
Very happy to have a new lower and loss!

Can’t believe I’ve lost 27.8kg in 10.5 months and got my BMI down from 48 to 38! and only 2.1kg away from a new weight bracket. 🎉

Body fat is going down too but still very high at 41%.

10.9kg down today and at the weekend I had comments for the first time, had I lost weight... so people are now starting to notice.

Nettletea I have bad lymphodema as well, and as soon as I started on MJ the swelling in my ankles disappeared , it would be nice if the rest got better as well.

I spoke to my nurse today, and going to remain on 7.5 as still feeling suppression on it and losing.

Nurse explained that their old fashioned scales are rubbish and don't work. I do think they should stop using them...

Found old data on my fitbit app, in 2020 when covid started, I was 145kg, so I went from there to 137 over 6 years, and now down to 127 in 3 months thanks to the MJ.

I am now officially lighter than I was 18 years ago :)

Another 2lb down for me this week so now bang on the 10 stone mark, and still averaging the 2lb a week loss. My new 5mg pen arrives today, I plan to stick to this dose in hope that I achieve my 9 stone target.

Hello!

I am down -0.7kg since Monday, having great suppression this week. It really ebbs and flows each week!

Total loss from 135.7 to 121.4, so close to the “teens”!

Finally, I've hit my two stone target! Feeling quite chuffed today. Hope you are all well, we seem to have gone a little quiet on this thread x

@NorthDevonBeachLoverit’s a great achievement hitting that 2 stone mark, I was over the moon. It made me realise though that perhaps I could take it to one more stone, as physically I can’t see much difference. Some clothes are a little baggy but most of my holiday clothes from last year still fit.

well done everyone on your losses

I'm the same, I'm now my pre-pregnancy weight but according to BMI guidelines I'm still overweight! Think I might do another half stone and see how I feel.

I’ve been on holiday for a fortnight and haven’t been able to weigh myself but I feel like I have gone up. I have had wine and ice cream and lots of food I haven’t had in a long time (chips and rich sauces!) so what do I expect I guess?

I'm away having a lovely time.

Hope everyone is doing ok. 😊

Two weeks in hospital and 2kg off. Not the best way to achieve this I know but I’m not complaining. Delighted to now be into the 11 stone zone after dropping from 14 stone at the start of April. Clothes fitting much better including some things that I have not been able to wear for ages. I had the rather disturbing thought that I had effectively been carrying around a medium sized suitcase full of clothes weight wise on my body back in March.

I hope you are feelking better. I also wonder at the weight I was carrying, and imagining what it looks like, or its equivilent. I have lost another couple of inches from my waist but I believe that once youve lost your initial bout of body fat the next one to go is visceral fat around your organs, which can only be a good thing. Has anyone got any info on that?
Im going out to lunch for my birthday today so am skipping breakfast. I do still need to be quite careful about what I eat - so no chips for me

I am 17lbs down in 13 weeks, slow and steady for me.
My old summer clothes are fitting and I purchased a new swimsuit in the next size down as my current one had no support.
I track my food and manage to get at least 60g of protein each day. I want to increase that and picked up a pack of Trek protein bars, to replace my morning breakfast bar. Well they are full of sugar, yes maybe more protein but not as healthy as first thought. I won’t get them again!

I'm camping in France, so no weighing for me for a couple of weeks. I have definitely been eating more, and things I normally avoid (croissants and ice creams and cheese and delicious butter crisps) but far less than on previous holidays, I now have an off switch it seems! It's also been a pretty active holiday so hopefully that will help. I have really been enjoying wearing my summer clothes, and feeling unselfconscious in my swimmers.
I will still be a bit scared to step on those scales when I get home!

Well, I weighed in this morning after two weeks on holiday with - as I said - wine and pizza and pasta and icecream etc and I lost 1.2kg! I am amazed! Someone else mentioned their ‘off switch’ and I guess that is the same for me; I had the lovely food but just not too much. I am now down 35lbs altogether or 16kgs. Nearing my goal in another 5kg!

just a little loss this week, down 0.3 kg, but its still downwards. and I have been on a course all week and bad with the hydration, plus a birthday lunch yesterday, so although initially disappointed its OK

12kg down now, so almost at the 2 stone mark.

I had an awful day yesterday though. I didn't seem able to control my eating at all, and ate really badly and over my calories. I finished the day with a pile of cheese which I haven't done for months.

I woke up at 4am with terrible acid reflux and wind, so paid for it. I have GORD, HH and gallbladder issues.

I don't know what happened, but I literally seemed to have no willpower whatsoever. I am due on, so blame it on the hormones!

So cross with myself, because I was so thrilled to hit 12kg and people really start to notice, and now wondering how much damage I have done :(
