Just did my 10th week of 7.5mg and I'm sitting here thinking how wild it is that I'm down 36 lbs already. Curious where everyone else is at right now, so drop your week number and current dose below. Does anyone else get a little ritual going on shot day, or is it just me?
Mounjaro shot day today - drop your dose and week
Week 8 on 5mg, down 23 lbs. My shot day ritual is pretty boring - Sunday night with a pizza-fueled last hurrah dinner the night before since food noise comes back hard for me that first day after.
Week 14 on 10mg here and down around 55 lbs, so you're keeping a faster pace than me at the same stage. My ritual is taking it Friday evenings so any queasiness lands on the weekend instead of a workday.
Week 19 still on 10mg, down 65 lbs, and yeah I've got a ritual too - Saturday morning shots so I can take a walk while it kicks in. Friday evening before a weekend off sounds smart though.
Week 14 on Trulicity 1.5, down 41 so far, and my ritual is Friday night shots followed by a Saturday farmers market walk here in Louisville - gets me moving before the queasiness shows up. Solid progress everyone, keep dropping those numbers.
Week 11 on 7.5 and down 28, so we're on a weirdly similar track. My ritual is less exciting - I do mine Sunday mornings and immediately make a big protein-heavy breakfast, partly superstition, partly it seems to settle my stomach. Friday evening sounds like the smart scheduling move though.
Week 23, still holding at 10mg, down 73 lbs. Shot day is Thursday evenings here, then a long Friday morning walk is my version of a ritual - keeps me from doom-scrolling the first day of side effects.
Week 9 here on 7.5, about 21 lbs gone. My shot day ritual is Sunday night dose, then meal prep for the week while dinner settles - keeps my hands busy through the appetite weirdness. Hearing some of these 20+ week numbers definitely keeps me motivated.
Week 10 on 7.5 with 36 gone is legit, OP - you're pulling numbers close to mine and I had to switch meds to get there. I'm the Trulicity 1.5 one from upthread, and honestly the Sunday meal prep ritual someone mentioned might get added to my market walk routine.
Week 6 on 7.5 and only 14 down so far, so threads like this are the nudge I need. My shot day is Thursday nights, and I've started pairing it with a big glass of water and an early bedtime - the tiredness hits me like clockwork. Congrats on the 36, that's a great spot to be at week 10.
Week 14 on 1mg here and 37 down, so we're basically pacing each other. Friday movie night on shot day is smart - I do mine Saturday mornings before a long walk so I'm distracted through the rough stretch. The 36 at week 10 is a great clip, keep it rolling.
Funny how the numbers land differently - I'm still on my starter 0.25 of Ozempic and sitting at 37 down, so dose size clearly isn't the whole story. Shot nights I do mine Friday evening with a movie queued up, mostly so I don't clock-watch the queasy hours. Week 10 at 36 sounds like a solid pace to me, OP.
Week 9 on 5mg and only 2 lbs gone, so reading these threads is a humbling reality check for me. I inject Sunday evenings and have gotten weirdly attached to making a cup of peppermint tea right after - no idea if it helps, but it's mine now. The slow start stings but I'm sticking with it.
Week 22 on 12.5 and 18 down, so your 2 lbs at week 9 is still ahead of my pace honestly. The peppermint tea thing makes sense to me - mine is Sunday night injection then a walk around Green Lake before bed, and keeping the stomach settled matters more the higher I've gone.
