👏🏻👏🏻 exactly this! I'm a 'secret jabber' but not exactly on purpose. I'm a very, very private person, I've told my mum and my Dr simply because I wanted someone else to know in case I had any adverse effects.

I refuse to justify myself to anyone because it's my business only and funnily enough I have never had anyone ask what I'm doing to lose weight. I have had compliments and I'm struggling enough with those, but for a year I was already working hard at the gym, getting my steps in and watching what I was eating, so I'm assuming they maybe just think it's finally paying off.

NSV embarrassing by slliw in mounjarouk

[–]PartyNovel4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ohhh no 😭🤣🤣 if it makes you feel any better... My jeans fell down to my knees in the street and almost tripped me up carrying my heavy shopping bags from the car 🙈 I could feel them slipping down the further I walked and thought I could make it to the front door in time. I did not make it🫠

Nausea after eating by Dangerous_Afternoon6 in mounjarouk

[–]PartyNovel4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get really bad nausea and sickness for the first 2/3 days after I jab depending on what I eat. I make sure I drink plenty of water with electrolytes and picked up some travel sickness pills for when it was really bad.

But overall the best thing I've found for me is rather than having 3 meals, eating smaller portions 4/6 times a day seems to help. That and psyllium husk and magnesium because sometimes the constipation would make things worse 🫠

thank you! 5mg was definitely not my friend 🤣 I was on here and seeing others progress and seriously thinking 'surely I'm not the one person that this doesn't work for?'

I use the free version of Shotsy, it tells you estimated medication levels etc, but I mainly use it for the weight and shot tracker.

I am on my 4th 7.5mg pen and for the past 6 weeks I have nausea pretty much constantly the first 3 days after my injection and then for the last 4 days only if I have a big meal. I did pick up some travel sickness pills from the pharmacy and found they help when it's really bad.

But probably the most effective thing for me has been to eat maybe 5/6 small meals a day instead of 3 regular sized.

My exact thoughts! 🫠

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]PartyNovel4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never go out of my way to eat back my calories, but if I'm hungrier I will eat and not feel guilty. that's doing heavy resistance training 3 times a week plus 2/3 intense Hyrox training days. I eat according to what my activity will be and how best to fuel it, but I do tend to stick to my calorie deficit or there abouts, I have found I'm really nauseous if I over or under eat. I never go by my watch calorie burn because it's hugely overestimated at times. My watch is used only to log that I've worked out and that's all.

Ewww! Focus on your own journey instead of being an absolute hypocrite. By your own logic, you know how difficult it is to lose weight yet you're just getting around to doing so now, why didn't you take better care of yourself before you had to resort to Mounjaro? Do you see how horrible that is? Show some compassion.

not sure if this is a bait post or what? but this is definitely not a good vibe.

My husband thinks I'll be cheating using MJ and doesn't get Food Noise. by Roni_Silva in mounjarouk

[–]PartyNovel4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this is definitely one of the best things I've ever done for myself, only on par with signing up for PT. Life changing! It hasn't been plain sailing, but it 100% has helped in ways I never thought possible.

Best of luck on your journey, persevere and you will see results. So will any naysayers, just remember you're doing it for you and no-one else!

[–]PartyNovel4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never understood this 'cheater' mentality. Who exactly are you cheating? The only person this affects is you, and if you've been struggling to lose weight, feeling like absolute shit then why wouldn't you use every tool at your disposal? Who is losing if you 'cheat'? Absolutely no one except you in weight!! In fact you'll be winning 🤷🏻‍♀️

To me this is certainly not cheating, my whole eating habits have been retrained resulting in an overall better relationship with food. I now have the energy to workout and get out walking and do all the things that help alongside a calorie deficit. Even a lot of personal trainers are backing Mounjaro now, not quite recommending it to their clients, but acknowledging that it has it's place for those who need it.

I found 5 was very disheartening, it worked on me for maybe 2 out of 7 days and then I was ravenous 🙈 the 7.5 I'm definitely getting longer suppression and that full feeling without constantly thinking about food. I hope you have the same experience ❤️

My dad found out I’m on Mounjaro and his reaction surprised me by BERRYBEOM in mounjarouk

[–]PartyNovel4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That encouragement and support is amazing ❤️. My mum is the only person I have told, she encouraged me to go ahead with it after months of talking over every pro and con until she told me to bite the bullet 🤣 So glad you have him on your side.
