Morning everyone. Actually have a day off today so will be hugging the ac and joining the kids in the paddling pool. I think it is only going up to 33 today so not as bad as yesterday!

I'm going up to 5mg this morning (by taking the last two doses of my second 2.5 pen) after chickening out last month.

Fingers crossed!

Good luck @Rockgrin . Let us know how it goes!

Anyone else feeling OK in the heat? I mean, it’s a furnace out there (we’re in the SE) but I kind of feel fine most of the time. Other menopausal women I know are visibly struggling, but despite being obese, Im fine. I’m guessing feeling colder is an MJ side effect?

Thanks for the thread!

Some updates from me:

Weigh & Measure
3lbs off this week.
Measurements since two weeks ago: half an inch gone from my waist. Two inches gone from lower stomach. 1.5 inch gone from upper arm. Half an inch gone from upper thigh.

Golden dose
My first ever golden dose came out at 3.1mg. Taken yesterday at noon. No side effects so far. Fairly good suppression. Will move to 3.5 with next dose.

I’ve been tempted to do this as well but also out for a Chinese on Thursday and I don’t hear great stories of how people’s bodies react to Chinese food on MJ!

Oh dear! How do they react?

Hi all, hope everyone is doing okay in the heat!

is anyone obsessed with following peoples mounjaro stories and watching YouTube videos and listening to podcasts about it?! I think it’s my ADHD hyperfocus maybe!? But if anyone has any recommendations of people to follow on YouTube or instagram or good videos / interviews you’ve watched etc, please throw them my way. And if anyone wants any recommendations then I’ll post a couple too x

Are you taking ADHD meds alongside MJ? I’ve found my ADHD meds don’t work much anymore after starting MJ

Can I ask. My DH is on his second month. Hes having mood swings is this normal, long lasting or just the body adjusting. Family and friends have noticed.

I'm walking on eggshells re cooking food because I keep buying the wrong stuff. Apparently root vegetables are bad, dairy is bad. Red meat is bad. He shouts if I buy it. But I'm concerned about vitamins. He also lost a stone quickly but now it's slowed down to a rate he's annoyed about.

Thanks for listening.

You have a DH problem not a MJ problem :(

You shouldn’t be shouted at.

Post in Relationships for better advice. Good luck

5th jab here last night, delayed it a day because of the heat. Lost basically 4kg and happy with that. .

Massive indigestion for me…brutal.

Hillsmakeyoustrong · Yesterday 22:30

My indigestion is worse on MJ anyway. I think its the fat. I am eating a lot of dairy - milk in my shakes, babybels, yoghurt for the protein content.
