Mounjaro start weights and losses

[ClawdiaCattipuss]

Hi all

I know there's a dedicated thread but I'd be really interested to know people's actual stats so I know what to maybe expect

I've only been on MJ for 4 days so far and my start weight is 15 st 6

Can I ask your start weight, weekly losses and dosage?

Many thanks!

Following!

Hi. I’m taking dose 7 (my second 5mg dose, as I got five doses out of the 2.5mg pen) tonight, so only have 6 weeks of stats to share.
SW 4/3 14st 11 (BMI 37.8)
11/3 14st 3 (total loss 8lb)
18/3 14st 0 (total loss 11lb)
25/3 13st 13 (total loss 12lb)
1/4 13st 9 (total loss 1st 2)
8/4 13st 7 (total loss 1st 4)
14/4 13st 4 (total loss 1st 7)
So, a stone and a half off in 6 weeks, taking my BMI from 37.8 to 34. HTH.

@EsotericMnemonic wow that's really good! Do you mind me asking what your calorie intake has been like? I've just started MJ this week too

@askingquestions25 on the 3-4 days after my jab, around 1,000-1,200 as I find it hard to eat more, and prioritize lean protein and veg. Days 5-7, more like 1,400. I use those days to ensure I get lots of nutrients as it’s tougher on the days immediately following the injection.

@EsotericMnemonic thanks for sharing. I've really struggled to get my calories in so far but only started on Wednesday this week. Most I've been able to get to is about 700 so trying to get as much nutrition in there as I can. Definitely want to be aiming closer to what you're doing.

@askingquestions25 my nutrition definitely wasn’t great in week 1, I was so nauseous I lived on cream crackers for 2 days! It will get easier. I use protein supplements or drinks like Huel (400 calories) to help sometimes on days 1-4.

@EsotericMnemonic I've stocked up on some protein drinks and snack to help get that in where I can. It's just so hard to remember to eat when I feel no hunger!

Start weight: 15 stone 2 (2.5mg)
week 1: 15 stone (2.5mg)
Week 2: 14 stone 9 (2.5mg)
Week 3: 14 stone 7 (2.5mg plus extra dose)
Week 4: 14 stone 4 (5mg)
Week 5: 14 stone 3 (5mg)
Week 6: 13 stone 13 (5mg)

Total: 1 stone 3lb so far

I’m staying on 5mg for my next pen

Start weight - 14st 7
Week 1 - 14st 1 (2.5mg)
Week 2 - 13st 13 (2.5mg)
Week 3 - 13st 12 (2.5mg)

Took my last 2.5mg shot this morning and also used a pair of pliers to twist the last little dose out.

9lbs for me in 3 weeks without trying too hard! (Hardest bit is coming up with why I'm not eating much, as husband doesn't know what I'm up to!)

Only 1lb this week as well, but trying to look at the bigger picture and am hoping for a good loss next week, when I then move up to 5mg.

Also, interestingly (and I'm not advising this in any way), when my pen arrived, I put it at the back of the fridge and it froze.

Was so annoyed with myself, but allowed it to defrost, and after checking it wasn't cloudy/didn't have sediment etc, injected it any way, and it has definitely worked for me. (Have always had an ill-advised, mental "fuck it" button!)

As I said, definitely not good advice, but I haven't yet dropped dead, so thought I'd share my experience!

Start weight 13 stone 9
Week 1 - 13 stone 4
Week 2 - 13 stone 1
Week 3 - 12 stone 13
Week 4 - 12 stone 13
Week 5 - 12 stone 11
Week 6 - 12 stone 10
Week 7 - 12 stone 11
Week 8 - 12 stone 10

I've stayed on 2.5mg the whole time due to nausea. Just ordered 5mg. Not looking forward to it but I'm not losing enough just now

SW 12 stone
Week 1: 11.12
Week 2: 11.10
Week 3: 11.8
Week 4: 11.4
Week 5: 11.2

I’m so glad you asked this! I’ve literally joined mumsnet to follow this post and feel some comradery/hope on this journey. Everyone’s losses seem so different. My pen has arrived and I’m nervous (looking to start tonight or tomorrow).
My start weight is the exact same as yours. How are you getting on?

@ClawdiaCattipuss you can see I’m new to this and didn’t tag you!
how are you getting on with MJ?

any updates on losses for everyone else?

SW - 15st 6
CW - 13st 11
GW - 10st 6 (ish)

Week 1: 11lbs
Week 2: 5lbs
Week 3: 1lbs
Week 4: 3lbs
Week 5 so far (week starts on a Monday for me): 3lbs

Total loss in 33 days: 23lbs/1 stone 9 pounds

Really pleased with how it's going so far - I definitely need to start adding in some form of exercise as I don't feel very fit within myself at the moment so that'll be the next thing I tackle :)

@evolute hi! How are you doing with it all?

I've been doing well. I'll post more tomorrow when I'm more awake but I've lost a total of 7 lbs in my first week and just onto my second injection now

@askingquestions25 thats incredible!! Over 2 stone sounds like a dream right now for me. You are SW twins with me and @ClawdiaCattipuss. I know we shouldn’t compare but it’s given me some hope that you’re doing well on it and no complaints?

@ClawdiaCattipuss good to hear from you too-and a smashing first week!
im only two days in and just felt a little less interested in food/full. Looking forward to hearing more on your journey x

@evolute thank you! there are days where I feel slightly under the weather at times but never anything I can't manage and usually goes away with plenty of water or a nap! I've been fortunate not to suffer with any major side effects unlike some others - definitely luck of the draw on that.

I'm sure you'll do great too!

@evolute I've not felt appetite suppression as such either - it's more of a definite reduction in that food noise. I eat when I'm hungry and my portions are small. And even the hunger isn't all consuming either - I'm not clock watching for lunch or anything

SW MJ:16st 3lbs

Week 1: 3lbs
Week 2: 3lbs
Week 3: + 2lbs(holiday)
Week 4: 5lbs (inc the 2lb gain from hol) (started 5mg)
Week 5: 4lbs
Week 6: 2lbs
Week 7: 4lbs
Week 8: 2lbs
Week 9: 2lbs
Week 10: 1lb (started 7.5mg)
Week 11: 5lbs

Current weight 14st 2lbs
Total loss on MJ : 2st 1lb

Tomorrow will be 2 months since I started.

Starting weight: 119.6kg
Current weight: 106kg
Loss: 13.6kg, which is about 2st 2lb.

BMI has reduced by 5 over that time.

I stuck with the 5mg for my third month as it was still working well but think I'll move up to 7.5mg for month four.

So far it's been great to remove food noise and has cut cravings like nobody's business. I do my best to eat well, I have a high daily protein goal and eat relatively few carbs - not on purpose, I'd just rather use my calories more wisely. I aim for 2-3L of water per day and my 5 serves of fruit and veggies. I track everything with nutracheck which makes it easier.

I have PCOS so it's probably helping with those symptoms as well.

Exactly this!
I realised I’d kind of forgot to have a dinner yesterday as I’d had a healthy snack late afternoon and was busy. By that point it felt like I would be eating for the sake of it, so didn’t. It will be more of a test for me I think when bored, but much easier to ignore with this strange ‘full’ feeling.

SW 110.8kg (approx 17.5 stone)
CW 102kg (approx 16 stone) after 9 weeks.
I did 5 weeks on 2.5mg Mounjaro and lost 6kg, then did 4 shots of 3.75mg so far and down another 2-3kg but I had a STS week due to period and eating too many takeaways.
I'm eating around 1500 calories a day, so not trying to lose particularly quickly.

That's incredible. Thanks so much for sharing

Started MJ on 19th March -

4 weeks on 2.5
Week 5 was the 'Bonus dose' which came to approximately 3.5
Then onto the 5mg, of which I've had 3 or 4 injections (I always forget what week I'm on!)

Total loss; 2 stone 3lbs in 8 weeks ish.

I'm 2 months in and have been weighing daily since about the 3rd week so I haven't ever totted up my weekly losses until now.
I didn't adjust my diet really for first 2 weeks or so and just relied on eating less. I reckon I could be a further 7lbs along if I'd done that!

2.5mg
15/3 SW 194lb (was 196 which is 14st but lost 2lb before starting)
22/3 lost 2
29/3 stay same
5/4 lost 4
12/4 lost 1.75

5mg
19/4 lost 1.5
26/4 lost 2.75
3/5 lost 3
10/5 lost 1.5
17/5 lost 3

From 14st down to 12st 6.5lb in 9 weeks
I have my 7.5mg pen but will do bonus 5mg today then will likely stay on 5mg by counting clicks until I feel the need to go up.
Remembering that 2.5mg and 5mg still aren't considered therapeutic doses!
