Mounjaro

[Stockpot1234]

I am a 75kg ‘40something’ overweight with hip and back trouble. I’m perimenopausal and have stacked the weight on. Nothing is shifting it, and I mean nothing. I’m seriously thinking about these weight loss pens but am frightened. Anyone enlighten me? I don’t trust the website reviews so want to know peoples stories please?

Have you been on the weight loss injections board? It's absolutely packed with peoples' stories.

No I haven’t, thank you. I’m very new to this site. I’ll look now 😊

Hi
I started Mounjaro 11 days ago. I went to my local chemist as I was afraid to order online. Honestly it has been great I am 8 pounds down and don’t feel that restriction that I would with dieting. I have had no side effects. My mum is doing it with me and she has had no issues either. I am eating three small meals a day and no desire for snacking or for wine!! Be careful where you order from don’t go for cheap. I heard on news that a batch of counterfeit injections had been seized in Ireland.

Thank you Mamabear999. I think I’m going to order from Manual as they seem to be reputable, I hope! Can I get them from just walking in to a chemist?? I didn’t know this… I’m glad it’s working so well for you, can I ask what weight you were when you started? I’m only wanting to lose a stone or two, so wondering if the bigger you are the more quickly you lose? I really don’t know how it works….😊

Certain chemists have weight loss clinics. I found it great as pharmacist actually did the first injection.
I am ashamed to say I was 13stone and only 5 foot 2🙈 ( size 16).
i had tried WW, and SW and have lost weight before. I am 44 peri and just had no will to try. Honestly from the first injection I had no desire to snack and portions so much smaller. Even went out to eat in a restaurant with my daughter could have ordered nothing and had a coffee, but for the look of it had to have something as really don’t want my teen daughter to be aware of this. I picked overnight oats and only ate half. I would have been a big fat fry girl 🤣
I was also on a slippery slope with alcohol and feel this has cut that craving as well. My friend is a doctor and I discussed with her and she just said if you are doing it buy from somewhere reputable and that is what I did. Sunday night would have been a wine and junk night but last night I went for a walk, went into the hot tub and read a book. I am very hopeful that this will be successful. Also my blood pressure was shocking! Did that this morning and it was perfect. You normally have to have a BMI of over 30 to be prescribed. If you are 5 foot 2 and 75kg then this would be ok. But if you are tall and 75kg you may not fit into the prescribing range. But they may consider other medical conditions. Good luck

Thank you for this, very helpful indeed. I’m 5’4” so not obese, but overweight. I have had lots of operations on my back and hips so i struggle with running/walking. I’ve just been accepted on the Manual website, so we’ll see what happens. I’m nervous about side effects but I’ll just have to ride them if I get any. Congratulations on your loss, I think it’s great. I just need to lose a stone or two then I’ll be able to walk a bit easier without the weight on my hips.

I started mounjaro 2 weeks ago. Have just had my 3rd injection. I have lost 5lbs so far. Aiming to lose at least 4 stone overall.

I haven't had any bad side effects just loss of appetite.

I used voy to purchase which has been good so far. 48 hours from order to delivery. They have a good app and am pleased with the emails they are sending me. I could also have online calls with a coach but that's not my thing.

Ah that’s great you got it. Good luck with it.
if I can get down to a healthy BMI I will be delighted 🙏🎉

Thank you so much! Good luck with your journey, I hope mine is as successful!

I'm over 3 stone down having been on it for about 5 months- I am obese and have a few stone more to go. It definitely takes away your appetite. I never used to understand how people could say "I forgot to eat lunch" as I was always constantly starving but with this I get it. I just don't think about food that much.

Ah that’s brilliant, well done! I want to lose a couple of stone, then I’ll be happy 😊

Wow, well done! Thank you, but I’ve signed up with Manual now. Good luck with your journey 😊
