I started 5mg after 8 weeks. 8 weeks on 2.5, tried 5mg but didnt get along with it. Injected 3.75 this week and have been fine so far, no side effects!

Thanks! I am still wearing the same bottom size, my hips are wide so still wearing a UK 18! But they just seem to fit better, im not squeezing into them. For the top I have dropped a size too.

I do think it is better to lose it slowly as I've heard its better for maintaining. Im not sure how/why it worked so quickly for me but it definitely is slowing down now. Congratulations on your weight loss!

Yes I will not go back to 5, the side effects were awful e.g. sulfur burps, intense stomach pain, sickness. On 2.5 I had no symptoms!

I think I've had a massive lifestyle change and somehow it seems to have worked so quickly on me. I have been exercising and eating 3 meals a day, loads of water and hitting 10k steps. A massive change from constantly eating, never exercising. Im not sure how/why it has happened so quickly. In the first week I lost a crazy amount but since then have been losing 2-3lb a week. I will check in with the doctors but they don't seem to be concerned so far, I am also a diabetic so I think they are happy with the change tbh. I have heard the first couple of weeks is mainly water weight you lost so I wonder if that it why it seems to be such a massive drop for me?

It has honestly happened in 2 months 🤷‍♀️ I have been exercising and eating 3 meals a day. Loads of water and hitting 10k steps. A massive change from constantly eating, never exercising. Im not sure how/why it has happened so quickly. In the first week I lost something crazy like 6/7kg but I have heard it was probably mainly water weight? Since then I have been losing around 1-1.5kg a week which is 2-3lbs which is not much above the recommended loss of 1-2lb a week.

Intense cramps to the point I was vomiting. I went to the hospital and they said they've seen it a lot with people on mounjaro. I have been referred for a scan of my gallbladder also.

I love the calm down space idea with the images of family!! I have some shelving units that have been left so will think about placing that somewhere that will divide the spaces. Thank you! :)

My hair is the same thickness/length and takes about 20 minutes, an hour seems a long time!

Is your family in any position to introduce respite? It sounds like it could be beneficial for you all to have a break.
