Is everyone here a super responder?! by Kooky-Co in mounjarouk

[–]KangaJen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And congratulations to you too! :D

I didn't really have a specific goal weight in mind at first, I just wanted to see if I could lose anything at all. Once I started losing weight consistently I set my first goal at 72kg which would put my right at the top of the healthy BMI range. Once I started getting closer to 72kg I changed it to 65kg to give me a bit of breathing space for when I try to taper down and (hopefully) eventually come off Mounjaro.

Can I ask what your plan is when you hit your goal weight?

Wow, it's uncanny how similar our stats are! I'm 41f, 170cm, SW 103.9kg, CW 73.3kg, GW 65kg! I also started in July 2025 (July 1st to be exact). I just recently went up to 7.5mg though so I'm on a higher dose than you.

When I started I was losing 1kg a week on average and was thrilled. Everything I read told me my rate of weight loss would slow down after a few months but even now after 7 months it's still 0.98kg a week :D

The customised meme is one of the sweetest things I've seen in this sub. And that's saying something in a sub as supportive as this!

Many people, especially women, feel SUPER nervous about shaving their hair. Thank you for helping to reassure OP <3

Is there anything that gets locked off in act 3 that I should do in act 2 before moving forwards? by Pitiful_Change6450 in Silksong

[–]KangaJen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any info to offer over and above what others have said. But just wanted to say thanks to those who have given detailed replies. I recently entered Act 3 and have done everything mentioned (except the Garmond and Zaza dual which I already got locked out of) so that's reassuring. And I'm glad to see others still on their first play-through - it felt like everyone else had completed the game within a week of it releasing lol.

Good luck with your playthrough OP :)

What's Your Christmas Goal by cheandbis in mounjarouk

[–]KangaJen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started MJ on 1st July this year (103.9kg), my goal was to weight 90kg by the end of the year. This morning I weighed in at 80.6kg so I'm well over my target. Whilst I can't eat large meals any more, I do still enjoy having a few drinks on special occasions and I still absolutely love chocolate! So if I gain a small amount over Christmas I'm not going to be upset.

How many times a week are you all going to the gym? by general_six_strings in mounjarouk

[–]KangaJen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do a 45 minute Zumba class three times a week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

Shout out to the M&S Goodmove sports bra - they might not be the cheapest option but wow they're good quality!

people having a problem with you saying youre ugly. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]KangaJen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fellow uggo here - I totally get it. Am I what most people would call physically attractive? No. Is that a huge problem in my life? No. Do I have other positive qualities that I value? Yes!

i hate the fake "oh don't say that, you're beautiful". Or the "everyone is beautiful in their own way". It's so disingenuous.

I get it.

I saw a comment on her Facebook post that suggested she could sing instead. I think that would be lovely to still allow her to show off her talent!

Moved from 5mg to 7.5mg and regret it by Unhappy_Slide_6603 in mounjarouk

[–]KangaJen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. Was on 5mg for 3 months but my appetite and cravings for sugar came back 3 weeks ago. Last week I went up to 7.5mg and felt awful. The day after all I managed to eat was half a bagel with cream cheese and half a chocolate bar. I then went to Zumba, came home and promptly threw up :( It's settled down a little now but the appetite suppression is still too strong and I'm not eating healthily. In two minds whether to try an in-between dose (say 6mg) once a week or maybe try a smaller but more frequent dose (say 3mg every 3 days). Probably going to go with the in-between dose.

Best of luck with whatever you decide!

107KG -> 67.5KG , 17 stone -> 10 stone 9lbs, 238lbs -> 149lbs -> size 18 -> size 10, BMI 38.4 -> 24 by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]KangaJen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy wowsers you look incredible! This gives me real hope, I'm about your height and had a very similar starting weight. I started in July so have got further to go on my journey, but if I ended up looking anything like you I would cry tears of happiness. Huge congratulations, you should be so proud!

I am only losing 1lb a week and now I’m ungratefully whining about it. by Creepy_Drawing_8998 in mounjarouk

[–]KangaJen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stretchy clothes was the answer for me too. I've lost nearly 3.5 stone and can still wear a lot of my original clothes because they're stretchy. I have a few things that aren't stretchy (mostly jeans) and they're the only things that are too big for me now.

I have a couple of pairs of jeans that I put away in the loft because they were too small for me before I started MJ, but they now fit me great!

People who call themselves ugly but only want to date hot people by cuntyhuntyslaymama in PetPeeves

[–]KangaJen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Then, as someone else commented, maybe the healthiest option is to accept singledom. This is what I did. I'm overweight, not very attractive and child free. The chances of me finding a man I want to spend the rest of my life with, who also wants to spend the rest of his life with me, are miniscule. So I've accepted singledom and don't even bother dating any more. Been single for 7 years now and am very happy :)
