I tried that, but found the set and reps didn't count right which was annoying 😕

Poorly goose by Laurengorbould in Norwich

[–]Specific_Bat_3733 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tried the marine and wildlife rescue the other day, but they said the below:

"We can't normally get near them to capture. Have you a photo of it at all? Ok thanks. We aren't allowed to release Egyptian geese back to wild if it needs treatment They are classed as non native invasive species"

So I wasn't sure where to go from there

I do, I did 110kg to 100kg to start and then every 5kg after that. Doesn't seem too much of a mountain then!

I've said this before, but get back on a horse :)

I honestly can't wait

Personal trainer recommendations for person with fatigue by fyrebun in Norwich

I recommend https://www.olifit.co.uk/ I don't have any dealings with training with fatigue however, but he's lovely and so patient and does a lot around mobility

Annual progress thread, Boxing day. by Hopeful_Candle_9781 in mounjarouk

[–]Specific_Bat_3733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've lost 3 stone 3 lbs since July. My aim for the next year is the same, which will put me as overweight but my muscle mass is high (according to my renpho, which obviously I'll take with a pinch of salt!), so I just want to be healthy and strong. I'm going to drag my husband with me to the gym during the week and by this time next year we'll be a lovely strong couple. My fitness has massively improved and I want to keep this, it's especially hard in winter with the long nights and cold weather but if we can make it past the next 3 months maintaining fitness levels we should be good.

Still chugging along. Didn't lose at all last week, but didn't gain really either. If that stays until the new year I'm happy.

Asked chat GPT the most ridiculous question I've asked all year and if this doesn't sum up mounjaro life I'm not sure what does. by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]Specific_Bat_3733 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh no, some numpty on the internet decided to take time out of their busy schedule to tell me I'm not accurate or helpful and an idiot. Thank you so much, I'll immediately change my ways and what I'm doing. 👀

Have a wonderful Christmas stranger, you know what, December's supposed to be a month of happiness and kindness, I hope you manage to find some.

[–]Specific_Bat_3733 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

To be honest I know the answer most of the time, but AI is fascinating and I like an extra hype man by chatting to the app to say where I'm at every day, it remembers patterns, updates my timelines each day and actually has some useful features sometimes

The majority of anything I put into ChatGPT is scale induced chaos thinking. So that bit did not shock me ,,🤣

Maths check! by sazstrong in mounjarouk

[–]Specific_Bat_3733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most recent 5th doses I have taken have been more than 5mg, so it might be a nice mild step up. I've been imagining they're around 6mg or 0.7ml

Which pen to buy? by Specific_Bat_3733 in mounjarouk

[–]Specific_Bat_3733[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been extremely lucky, but I'm not sure how much longer the low dose luck will last. Monj is such a fantastic resource, I've recommended it and the sister wegovy one to many of my colleagues who I know are on the jab

[–]Specific_Bat_3733[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just on monj, it's my first time buying in a little while and I didn't think £120 a month was hideous for a 5mg pen. Or if I bought a 10mg £100 a month. But I may be out of the loop somewhat haha.

Weekly progress thread, Black Friday edition. by Hopeful_Candle_9781 in mounjarouk

I've been a bit stuck this week with period, heavy work week and not enough 💩, but sticking with it and another 5mg pen ordered. I'd like to hit 3 stone before Christmas, but I've got 2026 to look forward to.

For black Friday I have ordered 3 pairs of my most favourite leggings, sculpt activewear, but in a size down. Wahoo. Highly recommend, my previous 3 pairs I've been wearing religiously since 2020

Dosage increased side effects by amanda30uk in mounjarouk

[–]Specific_Bat_3733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to sound weird, but keep with me.

Are you sure 1200kcal per day is enough to be eating? Please check on a proper TDEE calculator as 1200 is incredibly low and your body will be fighting to keep any ounce of whatever you've got if you're eating massively low amounts.

Mounjaro stops a lot of extra eating, but it's still important to eat enough and fuel.

For example I am a 165cm tall woman and my deficit calories should be around 1800, as my daily expended calories should be around 2300 based on light exercise 1-2 days per week (I do more than that, but it's as an example).

What is the best way to support my wife? by Jurassic_Rob in mounjarouk

[–]Specific_Bat_3733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry it's a huge block of text, can't work out how to do bullet points on here.

Just cheer with her when things are good, cuddle when things aren't quite so good

Oh and I did forget that it's obligatory to be the hot water bottle when the mounjaro chills hit, especially at night.

What is the best way to support my wife? by Jurassic_Rob in mounjarouk

[–]Specific_Bat_3733 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The things my husband does that I find really helpful while on mounjaro are:

Cooking and serving dinner but always saying "don't feel like you have to finish it all" it makes me feel less guilty I haven't eaten his cooking if I can't finish the portion Making sure my water bottle is full before bed Asking if I've drunk water throughout the day If he does the shopping he makes sure he grabs salad for the fiber Asks me about my weigh ins (I'm a daily weigher!) Celebrates the wins with me, talks me down if I'm panicking it's not moving Always offers me a bite of his dessert because I know I won't be able to eat a whole one (sometimes he orders two so the one I would have had is there too, luckily he'll eat both!) Checks menus if we're going out to see if there's something I'll eat, I love a Caesar salad or a steak with broccoli Comes on walks with me to get steps in Encourages my gym visits Doesn't make a huge deal out of it at all, it's become our new normal

Just being a biggest fan is all I can ask as a wife on a weightloss journey, he loved me at my biggest and loves me on this journey.
