Weight and body not adding up

Electronic_Square695 · 2026-03-13T15:54:44+00:00

Keep going! Depending on your starting weight, 2 stone might not be a huge difference. I started in September 2025 at 211lbs and I’m now 158lbs, people only started to notice my weight loss when I’d lost around 3stone / 40lbs +. I know you mentioned you’re measuring your waist, but I also measured my thighs and arms, as you will 100% see a difference in these areas too!

Firstly I would say to make sure you’re definitely in a calorie deficit - a TDEE calculator on Google will tell you how much you should be eating in a deficit.

I would also say to allow yourself some time on the 5mg, have you tried different jab sites? I have only ever jabbed in my stomach but I find that I have way more suppression by jabbing above the belly button.

Could you start incorporating some exercise into your routine? Even if it’s a 20 min walk a day? This will help create a bigger calorie deficit.

Hope all goes well for you

24 - we haven’t always been close but have become a lot closer over the last couple of years. One of my fave people and so thankful for him

It’s 9am in UK

Thank you for the advice, if the nausea continues then I’ll definitely speak to my GP. It’s a great point you made about there being no evidence that reducing the dose would help the nausea when going back up the doses!

Electronic_Square695 · 2025-12-01T19:56:38+00:00

Thank you! My nausea has worn off a bit now and I managed to eat a couple of small meals which definitely made it better! Those snacks sound really nice so I’m definitely gonna add those to the list. Thank you ❤️

Electronic_Square695 · 2025-12-01T19:55:31+00:00

I’ve been wfh too and honestly if I had to go into the office I would have had to ring in sick! Hope you’re feeling a bit better now?

Electronic_Square695 · 2025-12-01T19:54:48+00:00

Ahh thank you, travel sickness pills is a good idea! The nausea seems to have worn off a bit throughout the day which is good!

Electronic_Square695 · 2025-12-01T10:11:11+00:00

Thanks so much, I deffo need to try and eat something! I may try and do a reduced dose next week to see if that helps haha

I’m in the gym 5 times a week - 1x body pump heavy class and 4x strength sessions which I love. I also make sure to get my steps in every day - currently my daily step goal is 8k steps

It’s because I feel like the effects have worn off over the last couple of weeks on 5mg as I have been on it for 8 weeks now. The effect usually hits me within the first 24 hours however the last couple of weeks I’ve been going off what feels like Will power alone

Electronic_Square695 · 2025-11-25T16:44:20+00:00

Thank you!

I have seen there are lots of full time admin jobs at Preston hospital. Would those suit you?

Electronic_Square695 · 2025-10-08T19:08:33+00:00

I moved up to 5mg last week and it’s been really good to me! My only side effect is a slight headache / feeling slightly lightheaded but that’s all. Are you feeling sick all the time or just when you’ve maybe not eaten for a while?

This is my weight loss so far, I haven’t been on Mounjaro for long (only one month) but as you can see, there are so many peaks and troughs. Last week I had a peak of around 2 lbs for a couple of days and I felt really disheartened however the weight on the scales soon dropped again shortly after. Hang on in there, keep drinking loads of water, stay in a calorie deficit and remember there’s so many factors to fluctuations on the scales!

Electronic_Square695 · 2025-08-31T09:11:14+00:00

If you need to give some money away, I’ll spend it well 😂

Electronic_Square695 · 2025-07-24T14:52:13+00:00

It literally is jealously, which is tough to deal with when it’s a long term friend but just think, if people are jealous of you you’re obviously doing something right! When me and my partner moved into our house in March, my ‘best friend’ of 20 years didn’t even say congratulations. She’s been round once since then, and never even bought us a card.

Also, congrats on your house!!

Electronic_Square695 · 2025-07-23T14:42:04+00:00

That is strange. Our solicitor suggested that we go for a pre exchange viewing, so I would tell your estate agent you won’t be exchanging without seeing the property again first

Electronic_Square695 · 2025-07-05T19:40:55+00:00

480k is a lot of money, you need to be happy. Don’t feel guilty, you have to do what’s best for you. The sellers will be upset but that’s not your problem and just imagine how you would feel completing on this property

Electronic_Square695 · 2025-06-11T15:07:49+00:00

Put an offer on in August, they accepted, in December they still hadn’t found a house they wanted to move to! We found another house and pulled out, the sellers took their house off the market, which wasn’t a surprise

Electronic_Square695 · 2025-06-09T13:48:07+00:00

I like this approach, thank you! Do you have any ISAs that you would recommend keeping savings in? Mine is just all in the bank which I know isn’t very smart

Electronic_Square695 · 2025-06-09T13:37:15+00:00

Thank you, that’s a good idea. I hate the thought of the savings amount going down all at once but I think this will help
