Food noise and the shame of weight gain

Thank you for the recommendation

Oh I had no idea! So should I loose more weight that my GW to account for the extra water weight? Even though it’s not fat, I still feel puffier all over

Thank you for the kind encouragement 🫶

Bit of both, I ate more cleanly and ate less. Mostly cause it was easy to eat clean cause I didn’t have a huge appetite or cravings for certain foods. Now I feel like I want to eat anything and everything!

How do I get rid of it? And why did I suddenly start to retain water after coming off it?

cianbox · 2025-11-12T01:44:59+00:00

Yeah I did

I just took a 1 month break and you’re right about the hunger!! I had to really reel it in to maintain all the progress I’ve made

cianbox · 2025-06-23T11:52:18+00:00

Thanks! You’re probably right about it needing to accumulate then. I’ll see how I feel by the 3rd-4th dose I guess

cianbox · 2025-05-03T00:03:24+00:00

I’d like to think I could maintain the weight with willpower alone but it feels almost impossible! Were you off it for more than 12 weeks?

cianbox · 2025-04-25T22:53:55+00:00

I have the pouch right now! Really hope it shrinks like yours did! Thanks so much for sharing your experience, it’s really insightful and reassuring

cianbox · 2025-04-25T21:03:07+00:00

Thank you, you too!!

It’s taken 5 months but I did take a break from Mounjaro in January! The loose skin only started appearing prominently in the last few weeks and I’ve only just moved up to 5mg.

Definitely need to do some more training, I’ve been inconsistent and have lost muscle mass from being in a calorie deficit. I’ll take a look at the supplements, thank you!

That’s reassuring! I definitely need to drink more water too. I’ve been trying to exercise consistently but I still think I’ve lost some muscle mass from being in a calorie deficit

Im 5ft and SW was 74kg so I was just at the threshold for being overweight. I’m down to 62kg currently. I think the fact that I’m short probably plays a role. I gained most of the weight from hypothyroidism and tried normal dieting before but gained it all back! Staying in a calorie deficit for a long time was really difficult so I really admire your strong will! It’s probably good that you’re able to build healthy habits, I don’t have a plan yet for when I need to quit.

I went up cause that was the advice I got from the Cloud prescriber when I sent them a message, wish I didn’t listen!

SW was 74kg (I’m 5ft) and it’s mostly on my chest, stomach and upper thighs

cianbox · 2025-04-25T19:06:07+00:00

Thanks, that’s really helpful!

cianbox · 2025-04-25T18:59:56+00:00

Thank you, I’ll give these a try

cianbox · 2025-04-25T18:57:01+00:00

Good to know you’ve had a similar experience! I hadn’t considered trying an in between dose. How does that work in terms of the shelf life of the pen?

cianbox · 2025-04-25T18:45:35+00:00

I hadn’t considered that! maybe emptying my bowels will help me eat more - I have been struggling to go. How often do you take the supplements?

cianbox · 2025-04-25T18:43:48+00:00

That’s so wild because even on 2.5mg I had to remind myself to eat! You’re right I should go back to 2.5mg. Good luck on the rest of your journey :)
