MOUNJARO MONTH 8 UPDATE: non scale victories - trying on clothes, measuring, happiness…

[@mrholloway104]

Wow Marcia, you look fantastic, what a transofrmation!! I'm delighted for you, you must feel soooo good, and you're such an inspiriation. As you say in the vid there is a difference in being able to get into clothes and the clothes actually fitting. I'm at the end of my first month and have just done the first 5mg injection. I have lost a full stone and I'm back into 36in waist jeans. But the big non-scale victory for me is that I feel so much better (or fitter). I feel more energised I can walk faster and longer and yesterday I jogged (slowly) the length of a football field without getting out of breath. I actually don't remember the last time I was able to do that. I feel at least 15 years younger than my 75 years and that, for me, is priceless, and its all happened in just 5 weeks. Keep the vids coming, Marcia, see you next time.

[@ladymawa]

@@mrholloway104 this is just wonderful to read. You must be thrilled so far. Well done ♥️♥️. Thankyou so much for your lovely comment xxx

[@sandragoss62]

Aww Marcea you look incredible and more importantly happy and healthy ! I’ve been so looking forward to seeing you try on your original clothes. What an amazing transformation. My weight loss has hit a plateau currently and it’s so frustrating. Up a pound down a pound it’s not budged since before Christmas. Seeing your weight loss chart has reassured me that not everyone has consistently big losses every week I was beginning to feel quite deflated. My one massive achievement is I’m not feeling like I need to snack and end up bingeing in the evenings which was my downfall before GLP-1 and I have lost 1 stone overall. I’ve got two to go so I’m tracking meticulously now and see what happens this week. ❤

[@belubhi5805]

This sounds like me 😊

[@ladymawa]

@@sandragoss62 this is exactly how I was. I was dreadful with night time snacking. I am pleased it is reassuring about smaller losses. They really do all add up. Keep going … you are doing great xxx♥️

[@Summerrose400]

Hello I’m new here. I lost 120lb on Ozempic and have maintained my weight loss for two years OFF Ozempic. It is possible to keep the weight off but takes determination and control. Having it lifelong is not possible for several reasons ie cost and as far as I’ve been told ( by GP) there are no research at this time looking at longterm use of these weight loss medications. I had a CC diet and intermittent fasting to lose the weight and I’m still on CC 1500 and intermittent fasting to keep it off. Some people think they can go back to the bad habits and expect to keep the weight loss but research shows most people put the weight back on. I’m determined NOT to be that person. I was a size 24 I’m now a size 10 and am loving it! Good luck on those last few lbs

[@ladymawa]

@@Summerrose400 what an incredible journey you have had. Congratulations …. Truly inspiring. Well done for maintaining all this time. So great to hear such a positive story xxx

Aww Marcia, what an incredibly uplifting video. You look absolutely amazing and your joy is just contagious! I too have been having great fun acquiring a new wardrobe. Still can’t get over the fact that I can now buy medium and sometimes small sized clothes. Last years winter coat was a size 20 and this year I’m wearing a size 14 coat! Still got two stones to go to get to my desired weight of 60kg, or 9st 6lbs, and suspecting that by then I will have dropped down to a size 10. Wonderful problem to have! ❤

[@kimberleyking1289]

These are some of my favourite of your weight loss videos, and even if some of the try-ons are being retired, I think the new things you bring in (like those size 10 jeans! 👏) are going to be brilliant for the next level of non-scale victories 🤗 With those boots, I wonder if they are somehow feeling a bit negative now they can be done up but are a little gappy at the top? I know you were so excited to get into them, but if they are not really fitting then I think they belong with those jeans that Glen said were hanging off you.... Besides, that means you'll need to go new boot shopping, and that can't be bad 😉👢👢 I've got a way to go yet to get into my try-on boots and get them done up, and by the time I do I'll probably have forgotten how to walk in heels, lol! 🤣🤣🤣 xx

[@ladymawa]

@@kimberleyking1289 thanks darling - you always leave such lovely comments. Isn’t it strange about the boots. They are definitely going to be moving in but never mind. It was fun getting into them.

What a fantastic vlog Marcea! You must be so happy - size 10 jeans! Looking forward to your monthly maintenance videos. I agree that the boots are too wide now at the tops of your legs but as some others have suggested, perhaps try jeggings? - they're such a beautiful pair of boots it would be a shame not to wear them. Also the silky dress looks absolutely enormous on you now - how satisfying! Still you'll be collecting a nice pile of clothes to sell on Vinted! I want to up my strength training to build more muscle so that when I do get to my ideal weight I'll have a nice strong body with good tone waiting there for me. I used to train hard 20 years ago when I was slim - I always remember one of the trainers at the gym saying to an heavily overweight man that you should look at your body like a hot dog! You have a potentially meaty, muscular body (I.e the meaty part of the hot dog) under a soft layer of fat (picture the soft white roll hiding the hot dog!). If you train with both weights and cardio and are careful with your food, the bread roll will ultimately disappear to show the strong muscular body you've been hard at work training all the while! Keep it Marcea - you're such a help and inspiration to us all. Xxx❤

Hi Marcea, you have done so well and you look fabulous ❤. Im on wk 23 now and have lost 53lbs still a long way to go, another 42lbs. When i started my journey at end of Aug, I started with what i thought was a headcold/sinusitis, it wouldn't shift with antibiotics, so in December the doctor suggested i had silent reflux , never heard of it before. I knew acid reflux was a side effect of mounjaro but i never had any burning etc, so didn't make the connection. So im on lansoprazole 6 weeks now, cough has gone but still congested/nasal drip/sore throat/hearing problems 😢. Still losing weight though, but it does worry me andcwonder if i should stop mounjaro, see if theres any improvement . If theres anyone else reading this who has it, I would be interested in talking to you xx

[@ladymawa]

Bless you. Silent reflux is pretty common even without mounjaro - I have a couple of friends with this and I used to see it a lot when I was working as a nurse. Glad the cough has settled - this is often the only tell tale sign. I suppose it is your decision whether you come off Mounjaro or no. Good luck whatever you decide hun xxx

OMG 🎉 a size ten ,that is amazing. Although it did make me laugh out loud when you said the size twelve gave you a baggy arse . I’m only a few pounds bigger than you ,but I’ve got no bum and I’m bigger than you around the waist. It’s crazy how different woman’s body’s can be ,even if they are the same height and weight. I’m only 5ft 4in and was aiming for a target weight of about 10 stone 5 lbs . But would really like to get to 10 stone . However like you my weight loss has really slowed down, I lost a pound the week after Christmas but I’ve stayed the same since . I’m still trying to stay at 1400 calories per day ,I sometimes go slightly over ,but even if I don’t loose anymore I don’t think it’s healthy to go any lower . I was thrilled when I got into a size 12 jeans , I often look at the label before I put them on , because I can’t believe it . I’ve got big boobs so I’m in a size 12 or 14 top . Before mounjaro my tops were size 18 or 20 and. I was stuffing myself into size 18 jeans that I could only just fasten . I really really don’t want to gradually put all the weight back on ,like I have in the past ,so I’m going to continue calorie counting and will try to keep my protein intake up ,and I’m really excited about following you on your maintenance journey.

Love the New Look jeans ! Which ones are they ? I started MJ 12 weeks ago & down 26 pounds & my jeans are hanging off me 😂

[@ladymawa]

@@Max-io6eh hahaha it’s the baggy bum that does it isn’t it 😂😂. They are ‘Taylor’ …. First time I’ve seen them and I have been buying their jeans for years. They are a lovely fit xxx

Marcea, first of all, thank you for sharing your journey and being so delightful to watch! I am wondering if you have had any low blood sugar episodes where your blood sugar drops too low. I just started on mounjaro on Jan 2 and have already, nearly a month in, my blood sugar is running so close to normal. I am wondering if I need to be concerned about it continuing to drop and potentially dropping too low. My doctor wants me to use a continuous glucose monitor which I am definitely going to do, but I am wondering what has been your experience with your blood sugar?

[@ladymawa]

I’ve not had any problems but I am not diabetic either. It is something that has not concerned me. I eat well, consume carbs so it’s never been an issue. Have you had hypos? Xxx

[@HealthyinHeart]

​​@@ladymawa​ no, I haven't had any problems with hypos. I was wondering if it was something I should be worried about, though, because it has been so effective at bringing my blood sugar down. Thank you for the response!

[@ladymawa]

Are you diabetic? Were you monitoring your sugars anyway? Sorry for the questions. Just trying to work out what’s made you so worried. Also wondering why your gp wants you to have a cgm … did they prescribe one for you? Xxx

[@HealthyinHeart]

​@@ladymawa yes, I am diabetic. I was concerned because the lowest dose 2.2 dropped my blood sugar so quickly near the normal range. I was worried higher does would continue to drop it. I'm not on any other diabetes medications. I did read that hypoglycemia can be a side effect. No, the doctor did not prescribe a CGM for me. I would likely have to get that from my primary care physician. The doctor I had the appointment with was with Mochi, so not the doctor I see for diabetes care.

[@RosiePinkRose]

Hey lovely, you’re looking amazing! Can I ask how tall you are? You may have said and I missed it 😊

[@ladymawa]

@@RosiePinkRose hi hun … thankyou ♥️. I mentioned at the beginning but lots of people miss it. I’m 5ft 5 inches (165cms) xxx

[@RosiePinkRose]

@ thank you for clarifying, I thought you would have with how detailed everything was 🥰 you look fab, congratulations 🥳

[@ladymawa]

@@RosiePinkRose no worries at all lovely. Thankyou so much. Have a great Sunday xxx

[@trishhickson1550]

Great results. I’m only 8st 2 lb, size 8, but still have a muffin top and scales say my body fat is in the obese range 😱. Infuriating because I can’t shift it. I’m not giving up. 😖 Thankfully though my visceral fat is only 4 according to Renpho,

[@ladymawa]

You are so little sweetie and do so well. You are such a great example. Body composition is so different for each of us. Just keep doing what you are doing xxx

[@itsonlyme4759]

Hi. Quick question. How long will you have to stay on the maintenance dose?

[@ladymawa]

I have no idea until I enter maintenance. I plan to reduce doses each pen so it will be trial and error I guess. I will be checking my weight vs dose vs food noise etc I do not want a rigid plan .... I really do want to just see how I get on and go from there xx

[@lynseygamble2398]

Could you tell me what was the name of the app you used to measure , I’ve just taken my 4th injection but only measured my waist but that looks good to use. And I love those boots I think they’re look good with jeans on as they’re look abit more fitted. I’d love to wear boots like that.

[@ladymawa]

@@lynseygamble2398 hi hun … the app is called remeasure. I would love to wear the boots with jeans but I think the seam at the ankle would make it too bulky. They are really narrow at the ankle area. Might be nice with leggings. Good luck with the rest of your journey hun xxx

[@lynseygamble2398]

@ get some denim jeggings they’re look great.

[@janesyner230]

Hi, I’m actually starting Mounjaro this evening and I won’t lie I’m really nervous. I’ve put it off a couple of times but as I’m knocking on the door of type 2 diabetes I need to just try it as I’ve tried everything else 😬 Just want the threat of that hanging over me gone for good

[@ladymawa]

@@janesyner230 hi there. It’s perfectly normal to feel anxious about starting. Do pop back on later when you have done your injection …. I promise it won’t be as bad as you think. Take your time, read the instructions a couple of times so that you feel confident. It’s honestly really easy. I wish you every success sweetie - it will make such a difference to your HbA1c 🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️

[@janesyner230]

@ I finally took it this morning! All good so far 🤞🏻

[@lyndapet1]

I think you need to try the boots with jeans to really assess them

[@ladymawa]

I just don’t like how wide they are at the top. I’ve gone right off them I think so will be popping them on Vinted xxx

[@kasiagorska7590]

I mean will you keep going for longer the last dose?

[@ladymawa]

@@kasiagorska7590 each dose lasts the same …. Just 7 days between doses xxx

[@samreenkhan7468]

Hi Marcea, I am on 27 week so far. I have lost 14 kg since 21/7/24. I m on 2nd pen of 10 mg . It looks like not shedding much weight and my food noise is coming back. I feel like eating more than required. Do you think I should go for 12.5 mg? Pls suggest.

[@ladymawa]

Hi there - you are doing so well with your journey. Sorry to hear the food noise is returning. Do you track your calories and protein? Maybe make sure you are eating enough and getting enough calories. If those are all ok then maybe you do need to move up a dose like you think. You could always have a chat with your provider but I suspect they would advise to move up dose. Do you have much more to lose? Obviously there is only 12.5 and 15mg left so it is thinking about the rest of your journey and where you go after that if food noise returns xxx

[@kerrybrookes9603]

Omg, I’ve just done my own clothes try on…even my wedding dress 😂 If I’d have walked down the aisle looking like I did today my husband would have run a mile 😂😂😂

[@ladymawa]

Oh babe this made me laugh more than it should. 😂😂. But …. Just think of the monthly try ons from now …. You’ve got this!! Xxx

[@CarolSterling-v3x]

Wow looks like a different dress but definitely too big for you & boots look too big as well What a fantastic achievement well done you 😊

[@ladymawa]

Thankyou so much. I can't believe how different the clothes look. Yes, the boots are so big around the tops - time to sell them I think xxx

[@lindamacdonald1178]

Hi Marcea you are looking fabulous great idea get a belt to measure waist. Xx

[@ladymawa]

@@lindamacdonald1178 thanks hun. Yes it is a really easy way to see your waist getting smaller and very motivating xxx

[@NNN-en9vg]

2 stones in 20 weeks on mounjaro. 🎉 Currently on 10mg.

[@ladymawa]

Well done!!! Fabulous result xxx

[@tinaonoja4389]

Weight stall after losing 13 kg since march 2024. I am now on 10mg. I am currently abroad and can’t get 12.5mg. I have been able to get two pens one of 10mg and another of 7.5mg. Is there any reason why I can’t take two shots , one of 10,mg and ten clicks from the 7.5 mg making a total of 12.5mg. ( ten clicks is the equivalent of 2.5 mg)Help. The food noise is coming back . Has anyone tried something similar?

[@ladymawa]

@@tinaonoja4389 hi there. Are you living abroad? You should probably speak to your provider for the correct advice. Also … 10 clicks does not give 2.5mg if using the 7.5mg pen xxx

[@tinaonoja4389]

@ thank you for the very quick response. I am abroad and will probably wait till I get back home. Thanks

[@ladymawa]

@@tinaonoja4389 ok hun …. Maybe just continue with your 10mg for now. Enjoy your time abroad ♥️xxx

[@lucyloo7896]

Yay well done you look amazing. I’ve taken photos all the way through but didn’t measure myself at all. Wish I had. xx

[@alisonbroadhurst3712]

Me too !

[@ladymawa]

Never too late though to track progress. I am going to be taking a lot more photos now to track the physical appearance. Hoping to see great changes with increase/regular exercise. Not worried now about weight - just wanting to see progress in how my body looks xxx

[@JillBowdin]

hi , im going out tonight for a indian meal . i’m worrying what to have . do you think a mixed meat girl would be a good option . just to say my age height and weight are very similar to you and i’m stalling at the moment . so trying to be careful . any advice ❤ thank you Xx

[@ladymawa]

@@JillBowdin hi hun …. It can be so stressful trying to plan eating out. I suppose it depends what meats and how fatty they are plus potential spices if they upset you. I think we are all different. I would have a look at biryani maybe as an option or chicken tikka? I think just go with what you fancy. If you have any side effects then you will know for next time. Maybe make sure you have some antacids and Imodium instants in incase you need them overnight. Most of all just enjoy yourself hun ….. it’s all trial and error but enjoy the experience xxxx

[@janmurray3155]

I agree with Marcia that chicken tikka and plain rice would be the ideal Indian meal. I had this eating out last weekend with some salad and the calories weren't too horrendous! Good luck and I hope your weight loss kicks back in!😀👍

[@JillBowdin]

@ thank you lovely xx

[@1971gladys]

You look fab but those brown boots need to go 😂

absolutely - heading onto vinted!!
