W5D3: still don't feel much like eating so had a protein shake after the gym for breakfast and scrambled eggs for lunch. Enjoy the food when I have it but have little thought of it otherwise. Just done a food shop and bought much less than normal & certainly no cakes / chocolate #mounjaro

W4D6: a pretty good week with no real hunger issues. Been to the gym a few times and done cardio workouts but going to add weights / strength training next week. #mounjaro

They don't call back when you leave a voicemail and when you arrive for your appointment they've put parking charges up. I know the NHS is supposedly wonderful but they're adim systems are so antiquated and unfit for purpose! #nhs 2/2

Slightly off topic but I'm going to have a moan about NHS beaurocracy...I have to have regular appointments at the eye infirmary. For the latest one they sent my appointment letter to my old address (3 years old!) they don't answer the phone when you try to rearrange an appointment 1/2 #nhs

W4D1: weighed myself again this morning and there's been some slight loss. Now 190lbs. Pleased to still be (slowly) losing and have had absolutely zero side effects #mounjaro

W3 review: the numbers remain identical to last week...so either my scale is faulty or despite the diet / gym etc nothing's changed! I'm certainly feeling 'slimmer' and clothes are certainly looser but I'm going to have increase the visits to the gym #mounjaro 4th injection taken this morning

W3D4: Fell off the wagon today!!! Ate a load of chocolates that were meant for Christmas 🙄 the crap food noises was back in my head with a vengeance. Must have lots more 'healthy' food ready to eat available to keep my feeling full. Hunger has increased though so definitely need to increase dose!

W3D3: the food noises have started to creep in today and been feeling hungrier than the last 2 weeks. Been trying to eat little & often #mounjaro

W3D2: 5K row at the gym this morning and off to work now. Feeling good today after a couple of good nights sleep and my hunger is manageable #mounjaro

Week 2 review: here's the numbers for the week. Weight 192.0 lbs (-3.9 lbs) BMI 26.9 (-0.5) Body fat 23.8% (-0.7%). Another positive week but still need to get a routine of going to the gym / exercising and a more regular diet. Onwards!! #mounjaro

W2D7: just had a piece of birthday cake...it was someone at works b'day. Been feeling hungrier as the weeks gone on so a difference to last week. Have been researching/ debating whether to go up a dose for my next order but I definitely will. #mounjaro

W2D6: As I'm new to #mounjaro I'm not sure how it should feel but so far no side effects and some appetite suppression. I didn't eat loads previously but I did eat far too much of the wrong type of food. The temptation to eat like that has completely gone but I'm struggling a bit to replace 1/2

W2D5: feeling hungrier today which is good as I needed to up my calorie intake. No chocolate, cakes etc since starting #mounjaro and not feeling like any now. Gym y'day & did 5K on treadmill and went today and did weights...feeling it now and working 1-11pm 🙁 think I'll leave weights for days off

W2D4: my calorie intake is too low, apparently this triggers my body to store fat so I'm going to have to eat more, although I don't ever feel that hungry, when I do eat it's not unwelcome #mounjaro if you have suggestions for healthy means that would be great. Have a good day 🙂

W2D3: it now seems that not feeling hungry is my new normal plus never having those thoughts creeping into my head telling me to eat a large bar of chocolate or a whole bag of doughnuts is a strange, but welcome, feeling. Porridge for b'fast, scrambled eggs for lunch and nothing in-between #mounjaro

W2D2: no change in hunger levels but that voice in my head that was always telling me to eat etc is very quiet. Gym this morning and continuing with the stretching which seems to be making a difference #mounjaro

W2D1: second injection this morning. Don't feeling any less / more hungry today. Gym later...the overall impression I'm left with since the start of this is that voice in your head that's normally telling you that you need to eat has gone. Sugar spikes and crashes are gone too #mounjaro

Week 1 review: cont. A more structured and regular attendance at the gym would be good to...do a fair bit of cardio currently but I probably need to add in strength / weights too #mounjaro
