Mounjaro injection

Sorry I have not posted for a few weeks, it is because I have been very busy. I am getting ready to publish my blog as a book. My hope is that my story will help other people embarking on this journey. This drug is still very new, so new people are starting every day. When I read the Facebook group messages, the same questions are being asked again and again, which is to be expected. It means that the information isn’t easily available without seeking it out, and I hope this can help people who like nothing better than to curl up on the sofa with a cup of tea and a book.

I’ll let you know when it is available on Amazon. until then, Happy Christmas and all the best for a healthier, slimmer, fitter 2025

Today marks 6 months since I began my skinny jab story, 26 weeks ago I excitedly took that very first injection and today I am 3.5 stones lighter (49.2 lbs to be precise) and have lost 20% of my body weight.

I’m all packed up and ready to be picked up to go to the airport. My suitcase is just as heavy as it was when I came, let’s hope I’m not!

It’s been a week so far in an all-inclusive resort with no access to scales! And I am having a gloriously relaxing time.

Firstly, some practical information.

Airport security searched my hand luggage at Birmingham airport! Panic!

This week was the time of the month and my birthday. At the start of the week my weight had gone up a couple of pounds. I rationalise it, but it doesn’t make me happy. Then suddenly I get back on the scales and 1.4lb has gone.

It’s been a very busy week as I get nearer to my holiday. It feels like I have crammed a month worth of stuff into the last fortnight before I go. The good news is it means I am not really thinking about food, calories, or dieting. I have only lost 0.4lb this week. But, as I have said before, I have never had an experience of losing weight every week, week by week, for over 4 months so I am not disappointed.

I wasn’t even going to write a blog this week because it felt like there was nothing to say.

Then yesterday afternoon I don’t even know what happened.

This has been my first week on 7.5mg and it’s been fine. I’ve hit my 3 stone loss and I’m feeling great. I’ve also just watched the ITV ‘Tonight’ program ‘The Skinny Jab: Who’s getting it’ and they make it sound like I’m doing something dodgy.

It’s time to move up, this weekend I will take my first 7.5 mg shot.

Yes, my weight loss has slowed, but for me it’s more about noticing that the food noise creeps back in earlier and earlier in the week and the symptoms have all gone away.
