Mounjaro October 2026 accountability thread

[Wishfulshrinker25]

I've been on Mounjaro since April, kept it low and not really seen great results. I'm on 7.5mg now and hoping to step it up so thought I'd start an accountability thread for daily check ins. I've joined a 10000k steps a day thread and it's really helping!

Anyone else want to join? Newbies and not so newbies all welcome!

Yay, another 1b down today, woohoo!

@CoolRubyDreamer, did you make it to your workout?

@Frenchjamisbest, sorry you're struggling, my sister had the same after starting MJ. She had lots and lots of water and last time we spoke about it was looking into prune juice as she didnt want to take more medicine to balance out the effects of the MJ.

@Wishfulshrinker25 I did thanks! Took me most the day but I got it done 💪 how is your day going?
@Frenchjamisbest I agree with wishfulshrinker25 make sure you're drinking lots of water and trying to eat lots of fibre

@CoolRubyDreamer, yesterday was not great. Fine most of the day but an absolute snack attack in the evening. I went to bed too late the night before so wanted everything salty. Still within my calories but considering it was jab day, I felt out of control!
I hope you had a better Thursday than me!

@Wishfulshrinker25 I definitely feel sometimes that it can feel worse being on mj and having that out of control feeling like it's not working or something but remember you stayed within your calories which might not have been the case before! Hope today is feeling better 😊

How's everyone getting on? I did my second jab yesterday no headache this time so far so that's good!

@CoolRubyDreamer , that's great news- hope your headache has stayed away!

This weekend I've been away with friends and we had picky bits for both evenings. My friend summed it up really well and she said "you're great at making good choices for meals, but not so great when it comes to snacking". She's absolutely right and nice to have a reminder of that to keep me focused, because on a positive, I made really good meal choices and didn't overeat. Today has been a good day - I had a good brunch and then didn't eat again until I got home this evening and (with a bit of prompting!) my husband made me a healthy but filling meal. I even went for a run this morning and then a big walk with friends. Feel positive for the week coming! 💪

How was your weekend @CoolRubyDreamer ? How's everyone else getting on @Frenchjamisbest , @Greenfingers37, @LovelyLapin , @AxisofEvelKnievel , @SilenceInside ?

I’ve been away for the weekend-hardly ate anything (very little appetite despite it being over a week since my last jab) but drank loads! 😬🤣
I’ll jump on the scales in the morning and report back!

I'm on week two and am finding my weight is going up and down. I don't understand why. I weighed 12.13 yesterday morning and today I am 13.1! Is this normal? I have been eating very little and exercising everyday.

Sounds like a great weekend @Wishfulshrinker25 I'm the same my meals aren't the problem but what goes on between the meals is a different story so mj is helping me reset that right now! @Greenfingers37 that also sounds like a great weekend 🤣 @Frenchjamisbest I find the scales do that to me I weigh daily and they can be up and down all week but remember to do your measurements as well as I find if the scales aren't doing what I want my measurements will still be changing

My plan for this week is to keep making sure I keep my steps up and my water as still not being that great at making that a priority!

I had a tricky weekend last weekend with visitors, but that was just three meals and then straight back to my normal way of eating.

I had my first PT session on Monday and was really achey Tue & Wed. It’s just about finished now and I’m back to a class this morning! Hopefully week 2 won’t be as bad!

How did your weigh in go post drinking @Greenfingers37? I always feel it in terms of snacking if I've been drinking!

How is it going a few days later @Frenchjamisbest?

Your targets are the same as mine @CoolRubyDreamer. Ive been OK with water this week but my steps on Monday and Tuesday were pitifully low. Got to 10k steps Wednesday and yesterday and had a little run, feel determined again now and have jabbed yesterday morning.

@LovelyLapin fingers crossed that it's better for you this week!

This week has been a good one with keeping to my plans for the week. Food and exercise have been good. I am going out tonight and don't know whether to have a drink or not? How has everyone found drinking whilst on it?

I'm at the beginning of week three. i am on holiday and struggling due to lack of exercise and eating two large meals a day. I can't cope with alcohol and don't want all the puddings which is good but I am very cold and feeling sick and shivery. I am leaving in a week and wondering whether to pause for week or not. I don't think it will do my body much good if I do. I am frustrated that i don't know if I've lost any weight this week due to lack of scales either.

Also has anyone struggled with insomnia? I just can't sleep and don't know if it's due to the medication or not.

I feel the cold more and have a sick feeling when it's clear I've left it too long in between eating. I've had bad sleep this week but not sure if related to mj or hormones!hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Oh blimey, I am completely out of the loop. I have a brick to stop my doomscrolling habits but it locks after a very minimal time and I keep missing the chance to update 🤦‍♀️

How is everyone doing? I am a bit all over the place this week. In the wishfulshrinker household, we're all ready for half term - a bit poorly and absolutely shattered. Jabbing tomorrow but very much feels needed as I'm struggling!

Would you say a brick is worth it? I keep thinking about getting one as when I put the blocks on individual apps I always end up overriding it anyway!
I was finding it weird this last week didn't feel any effects all week felt like it was white knuckling it then jab day came and everything settled and I ended up forgetting to jab for 3 days!

@CoolRubyDreamer, it's so good, really useful, especially when working from home! I've had the same previously, just forever adding 10 mins 🤦‍♀️

Amazing that you forgot, I never forget and always feel very ready for it! Maybe I should be going up to 10mg!

@Wishfulshrinker25 I know I couldn't believe it when I forgot seeing as I spent most the week not feeling anything!feeling the effects this week though so just an odd week I guess
