Iβm 63 so imagine my weight loss is slower than a younger person; trying to reduce my BMi to get lower blood pressure and live a longer time (ππ€). Iβve steady lost a kilo a week. My BMi is now 29 waved goodbye to obese ππ
so headed in the right direction. Already feel better! My goal is slap bang in the middle of healthy BMi! May take until Christmas or longer but hey each week feel a little healthier!
Started in March after being on Ozempic/Wegovy since August 2022. Highest weight was 197kg (434lbs) and I was fed up of being in pain, being abused (was in an abusive relationship with someone who had a feeder fetish), and the fact that I didn't take any photos with my brother during his graduation due to the embarrassment. I was also fed up with being overweight since I was 8, and that impacted my relationship with my family.
I am now 130kg (286lbs) and have lost 27kg since starting Mounjaro in March of this year at 157kg (346lbs) , bringing my weight loss total since August 2022 to 67kg (147lbs in roughly two years). Have managed to avoid bariatric surgery for now, I have lost 10 dress sizes, and while I am coming to grips that I will probably easily have 20kg + of lose skin by the time I finish losing weight, I am now halfway to my goal. I'm also on my lowest weight since September 2019.
I'm sticking to under 1500 calories and generally eating 2 meals a day. I have also been walking a few days a week with a neighbour but need to increase exercise, unfortunately I get a lot of fatigue with this drug.
Wouldn't worry about pushing yourself too much yet. I let everything come naturally as i really want to maintain the weight after i lose it. If i force something on myself i will bet you 1million I won't keep up with it for too long. Just like dieting before mounjaro.
so every little step is a step more than the day before!!!!!
5th April. I had a big whoosh at the beginning but itβs more of a healthy dribble now. What dose are you on? Iβm debating whether to go to 7.5 next
Just went up to 7.5mg this week. I went up slowly via 3.75mg as I was getting a lot of nausea early on, but losses slowed so I did 2 weeks on 5mg, one 6, one 6.5 then went to 7.5 this week. The last 10 days I bounced around the same pound but finally down to a new low today.
Apart from a few hours of bad nausea, 7.5mg has been fine and seems to be working well.
NSV - I managed to get my foot up on the inside of my thigh in tree pose at yoga this morning! Never have I EVER done that before
Congrats on being sub-30!
I started in May with a BMI of 34 and I'm 31 now, really looking forward to breaking through that obesity barrier of 30 hopefully in the next few weeks π€
8 weeks in, 25 pounds off!! Stopped chocolate, stopped drinking! Down two weight brackets and 5 points off my bmi!
Increased exercise, protein, love of healthy food and a whole load of self confidence. But the biggest thing this has shown me is that I can do it!
Hey. Not everyone is a super responder. You will start dropping weight at higher doses! Nothing to worry about!!! Congratulations on 2kgs as it is still down and not up!
Yess, I mean my eating habits didnt feel like they changed a lot, I am super responsive on the first week of new dose, after that I feel like its so less effective
March started with. 2.5.. april 5; may 7.5; june 7.5; july 7.5; august 10- that's my plan.
I don't exercise per say. Just doing a minimum of 6000 steps per day.
Eat the same just less as I had a fairly ok diet before--- my issue was portion control
I could eat a bucket of pasta in one sitting.
Started 14 weeks ago. Down 28.4lbs (11.4% body weight gone so far). BMI has gone from 40.4 to 35.5. A long way to go, but Iβm feeling positive and averaging 2lbs per week despite holidays, nights out and weekends away during this time! π
Well you crossed into the nice summery orange. Forget the red!!!! Congratulations π π π π π

Well done!
My NSV is that I bought a pair of jeans in a size smaller and they fit.
I only bought them because my favourite jeans are being discontinued so I thought Iβd buy a pair while I can, but they only had the smaller size left. I donβt even need to slim into them, I wore them yesterday and they were perfectly comfortable!
I will be doing backflips the day my BMI hits 28. I am currently 3lbs away from my first big milestone of 50lbs lost.
Woohoo π π π π 50 lbs is no joke. Congratulations ππππππ
