CLOSE CALL AT 11 WEEKS | WHY I ALMOST BLEW IT

[@MPitt-q4l]

Complacency is awful. When i am going in the right direction, I end up getting complacent and talk myself into eating crap food. Im a junk food addict and need to abstain completely. I am easily triggered and cant stop with just one. Food addiction is exactly like other addictions such as cigarettes, alcohol, gambling etc. You sound like you are ready to up your dose? Try that and see how that works. I dont like exercise. At All. My sister in law gave me her treadmill and i actually walked for 20 minutes! That might be a good option? I also heard that 10 minutes of jumping on a trampoline is like 30 minutes of running. They trampolines can hold up to almost 500lbs so no need to worry about breaking it. Make sure you get a bungee held one and not the springs if you decide to give that a go. My weakness is crisps. especially ready salted with homemade french onion dip. Ive accepted I'll never have again :) I took my first jab last Wednesday 11th of Dec. Im a few weeks behind you but so glad i found your channel! Im learning so much from you and really appreciate that you started this journey on you tube to share with all of us.

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

You sound just like me! we have so much in common, how you getting on? xx

[@MPitt-q4l]

@@JackiesJourneyWithLove I took my third dose of 2.5mg and Ive notived i get munchies the day before my shot. So glad im taking this. it really helps so much! I am going to ask my Dr to up my dose after 4th week. Im so glad you are doing better. Gallstones are so painful. Speedy recovery from your thyroid surgery

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

thank you x

Hi sweetie, 65yr old here. I’ve just finished week 5- struggling to eat, drinking plenty but have gone off black coffee ( my addiction 😂 ) . I’m staying on 2.5mg at the moment, suppression is so strong. Never known sleep like it, used to wake up at 5, now its 7.30. I go walking- about 2.5-3 miles 5 times a week, really enjoying it now. The constipation is awful but no other side effects. Would love a FB group, there are so many, but to be honest I’m sick of spammers and Med Ex duscount codes. Xxx

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

totally agree with you, although you are not allowed to share the code but they do. glad your doing it your way hun, do what works best for you and welcome to the channel xxx

[@Bernadette-nb2xw]

I am on 10mg and the appetite suppression is very high with this dose, I think I will be on this dose for at least 8 - 12 weeks. I could very easily stop eating as food just doesn’t taste the same. I am forcing myself to eat to get adequate calories (1200 per day), I have noticed that my choices are getting very lazy, I used to enjoy cooking and prepared healthy meals, lots of veg, good quality proteins etc.. Maintenance will be interesting, I think that Mounjaro will be part of my life going forward

[@beverlybaldwin665]

Im exactly the same on 10mg.. suppression is off the scale but I still crave sugar .. I have all the way through… bizarre 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

agreed, I'm trying not to think to far ahead at the moment but I know I will have to fight those food demons eventually, hopefully feeling wonderful will be strong enough when we do try and maintain xxx

[@JennyEdwards-i8v]

I get the reward and guilt thing. I can’t just have one so the only answer for me is to not have them near by. Don’t beat yourself up. We all fall off the horse once in a while. The strength comes in getting back on. Christmas is terrible for choc and the wrong food. Get over this hump and look forward to better times. A loss is a loss and a pound a week is over 3 stones in a year.

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

Thank you for the kind words of support Jenny. x

[@merci322]

Totally normal. At first I could only eat a few bites every few hours. I can eat about 500 calories- one premade meal. Try to eat chocolate and grosses my stomach out later. Best things so far- tofu-complex carb-veg. Blueberries and almond milk and collagen shake I'll try soon. Right now fatigue is just bonkers... getting used to whole different life

[@julieadams6806]

Stick your hamster picture on your tub of Roses. Walk and enjoy the scenery and start swimming if you are able ,great exercise x

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

this made me laugh out loud thank you hun, i do swim as have a membership but need to do more, I know, kick up the bum for me for 2025! thank you xx

[@elizabeth-annecelebrant6155]

Hi Jackie, I am now 23 weeks and also suffer with weeks where I could just not eat at all. I do not fancy food. I have stayed on 5mg as anything higher would just stop me eating. I do eat little and often as I am terrified of getting sick. As for real cravings I would say give in to them every now and again because otherwise the cravings will get huge. I rely on skinny bars. They are not fabulous but they are low calorie. So I eat one rather than something full of sugar. I can't stop at one choc.as a sugar addict I am not yet at a point where I can stop at one.

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

We sound very similar! I also use the skinny bars, was on protein bars but toooo much, was wasting most of it, thanks for the advice tho, xxxx

[@kareninthegarden]

Hi Jackie, the exercise vlog is a fab idea. Im on week 3 and lost around 4lbs. I am a T2D so have cut my carbs and eat protein & veg at most meals but struggle to get my 1200cals in. I've started some strength training and want to join the gym in Feb (after the numpties have left in Jan). Ive never beenn able to do push ups so like your pull up challenge, im going to do 5 by end of March. Good luck and keeep going xx

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

YEAHHH love it, let's get those challenges in. well done u, it's hard but we need to believe we can do it and aim for it, go girl lol xx

[@therealsongstress]

Do a portion shake you make yourself with yogurt and protein powder almond milk fruit boiled eggs sting cheese. Nuts

[@maxallen-macdonald8791]

When the food noise creeps in, I know I need to bump up my dose a bit! You're doing so well, Jackie. I have lost 25 pounds in 12 weeks and am now on 10 mg. Mentally, I feel so much better and much more clear. I am disabled and can't exercise but I do go to physiotherapy in a pool once a week so my enormous chest isn't an issue in the water. For the clothes issue, I have now purchased sweaters and shirts on EBay as knits are more forgiving when you're changing size. You just hang in there!

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

arh thank you lovely, yes big boobs are a pain and I too swim, I might have to start shopping on Ebay as not one for rummaging around stores thanks for the advice, much appreciated hun xx

[@Amanda-ih7wv]

Would love the excerise vlog & facebook group is a good idea, I’m struggling with fatigue at the mo & motivation to do anything xx

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

yep I completely understand, fatigue is a bugger, it seems most people are saying the same with vlog and FB, thanks for your comments xxxx

[@aprilia64ape54]

I'm on 5g,struggling to eat at week 8. Bread is a no no,it does not seem to be digesting well. I've cleared the cupboards of crap,shopping delivered,to much temptation in the shop. I stupidly had a blow out one day last week,but still lost 2lb. Our bodies are literally in fat burning mode.

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

yes so the same rules don't apply i get that now, it can be confusing when u get into this but im not planning on being on MJ forever so hopefully will be better educated by then, thanks for your comments hun xxx

[@Whitty-zs5yl]

I had very high suppression on 2.5 and by the end of week four I was really sick. I’ve shelved the whole thing until the new year. I did lose 1st 4lbs in a month. I may just inject once a fortnight just so that my body has some recovery time. I don’t need to move up. Fast weight loss is not my goal. Chicken stew and tuna sandwiches have been my saviour.

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

Sorry to hear, yep, I can imagine it doesnt suit everyone the same, well done though on your lose, thats amazing for 1 month! keep at it. x

[@carmenbryan5174]

Good afternoon I have just subscribed to your channel thank you so very much for your time 👍I on my 3 week and enjoying my journey see you next week ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

Thank you so much Carmen, hope the videos help, where bouts in the UK are you? xx

[@carmenbryan5174]

@ I’m in Birmingham have a great week 👍🥰

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

not too far from me xx

[@DreamCreativeBee]

I started weight training and low calories before starting Mounjaro. Best thing I did. Although the weight loss was very slow, until I added Mounjaro. Like you I have all the fat excuses. I did Mounjaro for two months but I have had to stop both strength training and Mounjaro because my sodium levels dropped really low, a lot of the symptoms are similar to the side effects of Mounjaro. Struggling to eat was one and nausea. It turned out to a high blood pressure tablet, my blood pressure is actually very good now, better than it has been in years. So I hoping after Christmas to start back with both as I am struggling just to maintain while not doing either. 😢

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

sounds like you've gone through a rough journey maybe get on board with me and the training? we can do this, stay positive hun xxx

[@luciewager7359]

I’m diabetic. On mounjaro for that. The premise is you have to change your diet. Maybe you’re lifestyle Sugar is additive. There isn’t enough peptide you could take that’ll be a permanent weight loss fix. That’s obviously why you hear the stories of people gaining all back and more. Work with the drug. It’s there to help Think of it as a partnership. There’s literally tons of healthy snacks and easy recipes to ease those cravings. And please,please, please. Drink lots water That will help drop the pounds as well. I wish you good luck

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

thank you hun, wonderful advice, I think the sugar addiction is very much mind related and I plan to work on that, totally agree, MJ is a tool not a cure, if you use it like a tool, it should work. Great advice xxx

[@cherylgarrett4455]

I am a carb/sugar addict and cannot have any. There is no having one. If you are having cravings that is the food chatter. You need to be taking the prescribed dose. MJ DAMPENS THE CRAVINGS. I don't have particular cravings but I do see posts by those who have them and they come back when your body adjusts to the dose.

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

I have been worried about gastro issues as already have some issues but I get what your saying, day at a time I'm learning more about it, but I am like u, no carbs, no sugar is when I'm at my best thanks hun xx

[@cherylgarrett4455]

I am on a roll right now at having BS low, no hunger, or desire to eat. Lost a couple of pounds. In week 13 and Have lost 27#, not a lot but it moves along slowly. I have a difficult time with breakfast/lunch. Use Keto Chow for dinner. Remembered endocrinologist recommended Fair Life protein shakes in a bottle. I hated Premier Protein in a bottle so haven't looked at the Fair life. Broke down and bought a case. They are pretty good and if I say that most people will love. The Core Power has 26 and 42 g protein depending on size of bottle. I don't have many side effects with Mounjaro--not like I did with Ozempic.

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

handy to know thank you, i use protein works meal replacement shakes, life saver when i cant stomach anything in the morning, well done on your loss though, amazing xx

[@claireclowes3705]

Evening Jackie, if you'd like to do a section on weight training, I'd be happy to huff and puff along with you x

[@therealsongstress]

Don’t eat the Cho late eat grapes

[@therealsongstress]

No don’t treat yourself treat yourself to a high protein bar

[@juliehale9491]

Your self sabotaging because you can’t get your head around the fact your actually loosing weight and looking good. I just don’t have temptation around although I’m not saying I don’t have that little devil on my shoulder. Your not depriving yourself your just going back to what you was doing.

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

YES makes perfect sense, I only had stuff in cos of grandkids and xmas but I need to find a new way to have choc that doesn't feel so additive, thanks hun xx

[@therealsongstress]

Boneless skinless chicken with spinach

[@therealsongstress]

Eat some beans or rice

[@deborahharris5683]

Well it looks like you aren't learning to feed yourself healthy habbits,and that's what gpl1 if for😢 protein shakes aren't food,nor is chocolate. Don't that your self with food treats.

[@JackiesJourneyWithLove]

erm think we are well aware of what is good and whats not hun, the point of the vids is to share my journey and from the comments, it seems im a normal imperfect just as much as the rest, thanks for your input though, have a great day
