Foundayo starters August 2026

[HarderBetterFasterMother]

I am expecting a delivery of Foundayo tomorrow. Is there anyone else out there?

First up - FD still working well.
Routine - Twice daily weighing during the week, it works for me.

But then - I go on my much-planned post-retirement travels. That’s a whole 5 weeks without scales ! How will I survive ? (Spoiler alert - I fail).

Last weekend, 2 weeks in, our room in Mykonos had digital scales. Hooray ! But - the battery had run out. Unbelievable! Tempted though I was, I simply couldn’t go to reception to ask for a replacement. The shame !!!

Weight = unknown.

Another week in, I checked into my hotel in Osaka. By now, I was getting very jumpy indeed.

After a good look around, I noticed they had some luggage scales in reception. Obviously, that would be ridiculous. But….
The temptation was just too much! I waited for a quiet moment and jumped on. Then I asked Chat GPT to adjust for shoes, clothing and breakfast…

Weight = 4lbs on. Still within maintenance. A few quiet days needed though.

The things we do…

First day of 2.5mg.
Big change. Really not hungry at all. I wonder if sensitivity varies - I can’t see me needing to increase again if this effect lasts? Weigh in tomorrow

That’s hilarious. Sounds like all going OK?

I think so. Not that certain about the actual weight, but in terms of appetite I’m eating normal size meals and usually leaving something. The big change is no snacking. I’m a big fan of FD 2.5mg for maintenance.

Fingers crossed for your weight-in !

Weigh in and I have now lost 3.1kg. Starting to notice clothes fitting better!

Fourth day on 2.5 the appetite suppression has really ramped up. Also gone off wine which has been a surprise. Lost 16 lbs now since beginning of September only want to lose another stone. A tiny bit of nausea but hopefully that will settle when my body adjusts.

Great to see people both losing and maintaining on FD. If this can be replicated on a much bigger scale in the months to come, then could jabbing actually start to become a thing of the past ?

I’m still travelling, and not needing to refrigerate jabs is a real bonus.

I'm going against the grain, at the moment, not losing weight, not having appetite suppression but feeling nauseous/ having an upset stomach on and off. (Now half way through my 2.5mg box.)
I only mention it, just in case there's others out there who are reading all the wonderful weight loss stories and are thinking that they are the only one for whom things don't seem to be going so well.
As a caveat, I possibly should mention that I don't have much weight to lose and I don't have a gallbladder (which might affect things).

Hello, just jumping in for advice. Been on MJ since June 2024, lost over 7 stone, currently maintaining on 5, but would love to move to Foundayo to try and save some money. Am I correct thinking I would I start on 5.5? Thanks for reading.

Sorry to hear that. It’s so easy to assume we’re all doing well.

I also had a gall bladder removal a few years ago.

They started me on 2.5 (Asda). That’s been enough for me to maintain. Obviously, YMMV.

Day 4 of 2.5 really struggling eat and feel fairly nauseous. I’m also very tired today. Hoping it’s just my body adjusting to the new dose.

Is anyone staying on 0.8 or mostly moving up? It's a bit cheaper.

I was previously on MJ for to years, and more recently tried wegovy but didn't seem to feel anything on that. Hence trying this.

Interesting to read how everyone is getting on I think I am feeling some suppression on 0.8 and kind of maintaining (although put on a bit with wegovy) looking to keep costs down for the long term but of course getting some suppression too.

GP has also prescribed metformin to combat weight from another med to go along with it.

I lost 4lbs on 0.8 after 5 days of appetite suppression, then was back to normal. Weight was up and down until I went up to 2.5mg and I’m now at 5lbs loss. No side effects so far but not seeing much appetite suppression either. I’m being pretty good with calorie counting and exercise so I think it’s a mix of the 3 that’s helping with the weight loss. Definitely going up to the next dose after this one, currently on day 6 of the 2.5mg.

Hi everyone. Has anyone moved from a high dose of Mounjaro (just started 15mg) to Foundayo and found that it’s working well? MJ just isn’t doing much for me anymore and still have a couple of stones to lose (lost 8st then had to stop for a couple of months. Been back on it 6 months, having very little suppression and gaining slowly).

Really struggling to afford 15mg so wondering whether switching to something else would work. Thanks.

Hi, I changed over a few months ago from MJ to weygovy tablets but switched to Foundayo as I found the morning routine a bit variable in how weygovy worked, if I was able to wait 2+ hours after taking to eat and drink the suppression was good but this wasn’t always possible so I’ve switched to Foundayo and worked my way up to 14.5 which works really well although I am maintaining on it as I’ve reached my goal weight. I have lost a couple of Kgs on Foundayo but not intentionally. The price is much more affordable and sometimes I skip a day so a pack of 30 tablets last 5 weeks. Side effects are zero for me. Hope this info helps.

I have my order of Foundayo on its way to me as we speak. I was on MJ but only for a few months and lost about a stone but have easily put half of that back on. I was ill over the summer with various infections and my body was craving food (when isn't it?!) to heal so I put in on hold. Then DH decided he wanted a go and, of course, he won! Lost 2st since Summer! I'm back to square one but we can't afford two of us on the MJ (although DH is going to give it a go cold turkey and see if he can maintain). So that's why I'm here, trying a new direction. I need the food noise to go away again. It was so peaceful.

Yes I have @JBJ.
I switched from the 12mg strength Mounjaro that I've been on for a long time to the 0.8 mg foundayo . I put on a couple of kilos the two weeks i was off anything and the subsequent time on 0.8 Foundayo. I've stayed the same weight on the 2.5 but not lost anything.
All the reviews I've read say that we will probably need the higher doses for the Foundayo to really work.

Get the highest strength, and count clicks so you can share it. If he needs 5 and you need 2.5, buy 7.5

On day 11 of the 2.5mg foundayo. No symptoms and no further weight loss. Seem to have stalled at 4.5lb off. Higher dose should be with me around 22nd/23rd of this month. Will probably double up the last couple of current dose to get on the higher one sooner. Still sticking with the calorie counting though been a little lazy with the exercise this week!

Just a warning for those of us that have switched from high dose Mounjaro & are on Hrt. I've been on 2 tablets of progesterone daily due to breakthrough bleeding on the Mounjaro. I've realised I'm now showing symptoms of too much progesterone - sore boobs, headaches, bloating and a puffy face plus night sweats. I've reduced back down to one tablet daily and I feel a lot better. Here's very little advice out on this and I was beginning to think I was seriously ill, as I just felt so rotten.

I'm still on 0.8 and think even at that low dose it is impacting my appetite for the better. Just been reading this which was positive.

I’m 3 weeks in on 0.8 and I think I’ve lost about 1/2 a stone- I had to buy new scales last week because the old wines were being random. My clothes are definitely a little looser. I was between 7 and 17 1/2 stone when I started and 16st 10lbs now.
I can’t decide if I need to go up a dose or not? I’ve ordered 2.5, but I still want enough appetite to eat healthy meals. Maybe I’ll see if I can order more 0.8 instead.

Well done !

I started 3 day ago on 0.8.. my first try of any weight loss drugs.

I’ve had no side effects and all and definitely still have appetite. So I can’t tell if I’m just in some placebo mindset at the moment! I think my evening snacking desire has been reduced and maybe it’s just my boredom/ eating from habit that’s still in mind.

I have about 3 stone to lose.

It’s been very subtle, but I noticed I’ve been in less of a rush to find food at times of day when I would normally have felt my blood sugar dropping.
the water weight coming off in the first few days was torrential 🤣
I hope it works out for you, I’ve lost another lb, which is very encouraging as I’m now under 17st. I have no idea how I put in so much weight, over 4 since my ex husband moved out 2 1/2 years ago.
