26 weeks post-Mounjaro and why I’m starting again (for a bit)
So it’s been 26 weeks since I took Mounjaro and I haven’t really gained that much since being off it. I currently weigh 14st 0.3lbs (196.3 lb, 89.04 kg)
The last time I posted was 16 weeks ago and I weighed 13st 10lbs. (192lbs, 87kg)
Before I stopped taking it, I weighed, 13st 8lbs. (190lbs, 86kg)
So all in all. It’s going pretty well. I put this down to getting rid of any ‘safety clothes’ I had. So I’m mindful
When things are starting to get uncomfortable.
But I’ve decided to start up again. (For a bit.). I have this idea of getting down to 12st 7lbs. I don’t need to start it up just to lose just over a stone. I feel it really helps curb my bad habits. Such as binge drinking and it definitely curbs my coffee consumption. I have been told recently it’s possible I have ADHD and I remember being less impulsive whilst taking it.
It’s strange because in the time, I’ve been off it. I’ve encountered lots of people on it who are close to me. My mum has even said she’d be interested in taking it! But I have never told anyone I’ve been on it. Not sure why. I feel it’s personal? But I feel it could really help my mum. She was so against it around 6 months ago. But a family friend who is a doctor started taking it and her worries seem to have evaporated.
I have toyed with the idea of taking Wegovy. Especially the pills as they’re much cheaper. But I feel this far in the game it’s best to stick with what you know. Hopefully the introduction of pills will lower the prices of the jabs. But we can only hope!
