I started Mounjaro 5 weeks ago, it's like a miracle, no side effects, lost a stone just because it's switched off the food noise, so no snacking say all! Good luck.
I’m in the middle of my third week. It’s amazing. There are so many health benefits. More than weight loss. Best decision I’ve made.
What other health benefits have you seen so far lovely? I agree I’m really happy so far x
You do you Helen ❤ I started with this drug four weeks ago after struggling with menopause weight gain. Ive literally not been able to lose a single pound for months. Im four weeks in and ive lost 12lb. Ive just ordered my next pen and will continue until ive lost another 14lb. Its literally changed my life. Im looking forward to seeing how you get on ❤❤ ❤❤
Trying to lose weight in menopause is so hard and I’ve documented trying for the last 2-3 years so all I’m doing now is continuing to document it and being honest. I understand people have their opinions but the extra weight is taking a toll on my body. I don’t want the extra weight on my bones. I want to just have something help me along a bit and I’ve done my research. Im another 2lb down this week. So that’s 1/2 stone and I already feel so much better. That loss is amazing Debs well done xxx
It's really not, I started this 5 weeks ago, no side effects, lost a stone, it's been like a miracle, this has worked where everything else hasn't. 14:22
I'm on week 4 of mounjaro, I've lost 11 lbs in 3 weeks !! I used to think of food from waking up to going to bed and was addicted to sugary foods. This injection is life changing, I no longer think of food and the appetite suppression started within a couple of hours of my first injection. I have just ordered my second pen and have decided to stay on 2.5mg as my suppression is great and I don't feel the need to increase my dosage. I've not experienced any negative side effects. Wishing you well on your journey ✨️
I’m just starting week 3 and I feel pretty much the same way. Well done on your losses so far! I think im going to stay on 2.5 too x
I am on compouded Tirzepatide in U.S.A. and being able to adjust your dose to what your body does really helps manage side effects and weight loss. I started on name brand zepbound 2.5mg and lost 20 pounds in 4 weeks and was not educated on what to eat but after the 4wks I have lost 1 to 2lbs a week for the past 5 months total 50 lbs now.good luck,be happy.
I have taken it for a while, it is the best thing I have ever done. My relationship with food and my health has completely changed, I enjoy food etc now instead of having my mind consumed with food noise etc. I have had a couple of side effects but you learn how to manage them/what triggers them. It is really nice to see you talk about it on TH-cam. Looking after your health is something that should be looked on positively, not negatively. Good luck and I look forward to watching your content ☺️
From America here. I’ve been on semaglutide (ozempic) for 10 1/2 months. I’ve lost 114 lbs so far. Very little side effects and I feel great. I couldn’t lose more than 7 lbs with diet and exercise. My body feels like it’s working properly now. I see that some are saying it’s dangerous but if you eat right and get your blood work done regularly you are at low risk for bad side effects. There is a dr that does podcasts and she is very informative. Dr Tyna Moore. She has a 4-5 part series on ozempic. Great listen
I love your honesty Helen, looking forward to seeing your progress, good luck xx
I was so nervous the first time i injected. Now im a pro 😂 ive been on Mounjaro and ive lost 20lbs in 9 weeks. Im so much happier already. Xx
Just started mine yesterday! I’m 5’3 and around 13 stone! I’m on ozempic from the UK but living in Canada! Will be following along - all the best 🧡
I’ve just subbed! I’m a fellow petite girly at 4ft 9 and have always struggled with the 1lb on and off situation. So happy you’ve lost that much weight on your first week! Waiting for mine to come through the post today. Looking forward to your updates x
Hi Helen, im on mounjaro to , my first week I also lost 5 pounds , I’m also on HRT patches as I had horrible sugar cravings that were so overwhelming. So decided to do this best thing I’ve done to help me lose the rest of my weight, you have to do what’s right for you, like I did good luck on your journey lovely.xx
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve go Mounjaro from MedExpress today.
So appreciative of this video, please make updated vids. ❤
Good luck for when you start!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I just started mine about an hour ago.... wish I had seen this video before I was panicking if I was getting it right... good luck with your journey.
Hi Helen, I have never heard of Mounjaro, but I am looking forward to following you on your journey. Good luck, lovely xx
Ive so been looking for someone just starting this journey like myself i cant wait to follow u good luck
Thank you good luck to you too x
@@babblingbythebrook any chance u might do what you're eating in detail ,I'm really not eating I've been really put off with nausea I'm drinking loads of water and I'm gonna get some of these electrolytes that people are taking but I'd love some food ideas x
Thanks for posting this! You have a really great, personable way about you 😊 good luck on your journey!
Hi Helen, excited to join you on your journey. I’m going to take my first injection Friday afternoon, here’s to a 5lb weight loss like you!! 🤞🤞
Good luck 🤞
Mounjaros an antiinflammatory so it really reduces the fluid in your legs. My body's now starting to break the lipedema fat down as there's very little fat anywhere else, so alot of it will matabolise in the end xxx I'm 2st 6lbs down in 15 weeks. 2 stone 7lbs to target which is 9 stone xx good luck on your journey I'm looking forward to seeing how happy MJ makes you xx
That’s incredible well done xx 😘 nice to hear from someone else who has lipedema x
Hi do u know or have anyone felt severe asthma Tigger or heart fasting best anyone 5hanx
Aww im glad i found you. I’ve been on it for two month and have lost nearly 11lbs. I’m also 4ft 10.5.
I struggle so much with my weight and food thoughts consume my everyday life! Excited to see how you get on ❤
You do you love would never criticise anyone. If it works for you and makes you happy so be it. You have been through enough. Lots of love ❤
😘😘😘
Thank you so much for this video I started last Monday and have no side affects thus far.
Look forward to following your journey with mounjaro Helen. I’m seriously considering it myself… hope you have a great week ❤
I've been on it for the last 4 weeks and I lost 16 pounds. Its crazy how awesome this medication really is!!!
That’s amazing!! Well done 👏
@@babblingbythebrook Im sure youre going to have the same outcomes. The journey won't be super quick, but it will be well worth it!
Thank you for talking about the food noise. I relate to that so much. All the best darling. X
Hi Helen. Thank you for your informative video. Well done for taking this step to improve your health. If you are on calcium ask your doctor if you need to take vitamin K too. You can also get Vitamin D with added vitamin K
Vitamin k helps you to absorb the calcium and send it to the right tissues.
I also started Mounjaro yesterday. So I hope you keep updating your progress xx
Good luck on your journey. I’ve just started week 21 and lost almost 3 stone. It’s honestly changed everything for me.
Just so you know the alcohol swab is for the top of your pen lovely …. You don’t have to swab your skin. Good luck ,…. Well done on your week 1. Glad your symptoms are improving already xxx❤️
Good luck on your journey, thank you for sharing as always xx
I’ve been on this for 5 weeks first 4 on 2.5mg then only upped to 3.75mg I’ve lost 1 stone so very pleased and had hardly any side effects I eat and drink plenty of water
Which one you on please? X
I totally understand you and it's up to you don't listen to any bad negative, good luck with it if it works then I might look at it myself xx❤
I relate to the food noise. One reason I’m thinking about getting help. Nervous about the idea but I’ve been struggling for 45 years
Thank you for sharing your journey. Great to hear your doing well.
Fiber supplement: the gummies are unlikely to be of much use. If youd like to supplement try a green powder , like applied nutrition or huel.
Much cheaper, more fiber and none of the fillers. Also be careful with too much b vitamin supplementation it can have some negative effects.
All the best
Good luck on your journey. Please keep us posted on how you get on.
I lost 70 lbs I’ve kept it off. I’m 8%. Please. Stop trying quick fixes. It’s all about will power and discipline. Eat less move more. Figure out how many calories you eat. It’s sucks, it’s hard. There is nothing secret. Calories in and calories out. Your house looks beautifully kept. Treat your body the same. Wishing you all the luck in the world.
Hi there . Was looking for a U.K video based on mounjaro and found yours. Just started on Friday but i keep thinking i did it wrong. I twisted the dose pen, then applied the needle. Not sure whether it worked or not. I was in such a hurry to inject ! Lol. Anyway. After 2 days ,(yesterday) i weighed myself but havent lost anything yet. I decided to go for mounjaro as my blood sugar levels were out of control and pretty sure they would be classed as diabetic. I do not take other medication nor do i want to spend my life taking meds. So hence i made the decision to go for a weightloss injection. I need to lose around 2 stone too. Hope it works for me! All the best on your journey.
Hi Helen I’m a newbie here , I’ve been on mounjaro for 15 weeks now and a slow looser 19 lbs , on 5mg but need to up to 7.5 mg but getting too expensive. My appetite is suppressed but food noise is rampant !! So I’m eating less but craving chewy sweets and cake more !! Even had chocolate last night so consumed less food but now getting constipated and frustrated with myself. I can’t afford to keep on this for another 3-6 months with very little success. 😢
When is the next update, i cant wait ❤😊
I just took my first shot today and I also have lipedema. I'm really hoping it'll help with the inflammation and pain!
Hi I'm literally waiting for the postman to delivery my 1st mounjaro order from medexpress so interesting to see your unboxing and progress.
I started mine yesterday, been healthy shopping today and got my carrot 🥕 sticks and celery to nibble on if I feel hungry. Good luck
Good luck gorg x so many people are opposed to medication - I took orlistat for a year along with IF , gym and a high protein low fat diet - sometimes we all need a little help along the way - good luck sweetie - will follow you on your journey ❤
I don’t think you need to lose loads of weight ! Be really careful -8 stone is quite low - you are gorgeous as you so do r go too crazy xxx
Ive just researched the drug and it mentions gall stones and problems with the bladder so its put me off already. Im short like you Helen but would rather be a bit cuddly than poorly. Do you have to speak to a doctor before taking the drug? I really hope you are ok on this Helen xx
More of this please ! Very detailed and personal ❤ I’m also on a weight loss journey and have lost 30 lbs in over 3 months and have less than 15 lbs to go & with help of Tirzepatide 😊😊😊
Omg it’s like listening to me and now you mentioned lipadima I think that what I’ve had. My husband thinks I’m exaggerating when he pinches my legs and I yelp…..I also have swelling around my knees and ankles. I have had my own 4 weeks in fridge and scared to take the leap!! X
So happy to see this video as i started today and have followed you on Instagram for yearssss, i have 5 stone to lose ans really struggle with food noise so im excited for my journey and to follow yours. Dont let people be to negative about it because normally they either dont struggle with weight or they havnt even tried it, at the end of the day it is approved for weight loss and has even been recorded for other benefits
I have Lipoedema too. Hoping MJ will help at least a bit, I've got it getting the waist down.
Ive been on ozempic for nearly a year for type 2 diabeties and since feb ive lost nearly 4 1/2 stone..it has changed my life and im 4ft 11 too..i would like another 2 stone of too..i think you are doing amazing and making the right choice for you... well done you :) xxx
@@haboobean4389 wow! That’s amazing! Are you getting any side effects on it? I feel less hungry & can’t finish all my food! Are you the same? Xx
Amazing start and so excited to watch your journey as it progresses! I think you’ll find it was well worth giving it a go! 😊 I’m on week 11 now and currently down 33 lbs - one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Quality of life is improving every day I am just so grateful 🙏xxx
Also I have electrolytes in my first Stanley cup in the morning and I also have multivitamins and biotin gummies
Be careful with gummies. Can cause kidney stones I was told.
No, your weight will not go down constantly. Prepare that it will stall in a few weeks for one or 2 months, but dont worry just hang in, it will start again after that. Wait for going up to 5mg at least 2 better 3 months. And DRINK DRINK DRINK. Like 2l a day minimum.
Hi Helen,
Ive been hearing about it alot now , with good results,
Your a sensible girl so i have full confidence that you have done your research and are well informed as you can be , i wish you every success on your weight loss journey, will be interesting to hear how you feel on it ( side affects ) ect ,
Did it hurt when you injected ?
Im such a wimp , i had to peep through my fingers when you did it lol,
Fabulous 1st week , x
See you in the next one 💗
well done im starting sun
This is so exciting! This has been such a life changer for me. Not only have I lost weight but inflammation has gone down and I feel so so so much better.
Don’t listen to the negativity; be smart and always stay in contact with your provider….you’ll be just fine! 🩷
Same! It fixed my facial paralysis in two shots. All the sudden my eye brows and lips were even again. So many good things.
There are some injection videos on here that walk you through the process.
Looking forward to seeing your progress… well done on a fab first week x
I didnt loose anything my first week but i only did 1/2 of the .25 dose bc i was scared. I just did the full dose today and im still scared 😂
Would love to see what you eat and how much x
This is so exciting, I'm starting soon , mainly for health reasons & losing weight is a bonus . Good luck on your journey ❤
Was it a pain to Get the perscription ? I'm thinking to get one but I got feeling ill get refused :/
It was easy through MedExpress you fill in a questionnaire and then send photo I’d and a photo of yourself. It might be worth speaking to your GP first if you think you might not be eligible. If you need a referral code you can use 3RX118 on MedExpress and it will knock £40 off the cost of the prescription x
@@babblingbythebrook I'll give it a go thank you x
Your suppose to hold it in you for about 10 seconds after the dose has been administered
Well done on loosing 5 lbs 👍🏻 keep safe
I am not sure this is a good idea. Bad press about it. Do you follow a diet as well?
Aww little Connie's face 💕
The bad press is from people who buy bad stuff from beauticians and not registered pharmacies, buying it from pharmacies is safe.
Is this the same as Ozempic? Xx
It’s not the same as Ozempic but it works in a similar way x
@@babblingbythebrook I’ve been on Ozempic for a few months….i am on the 1mg dose now xx
Best of luck, I'm looking forward to watching your journey ...... i'm really tempted to try this myself, i'm worried about the delivery though, as im at work through the week and worried that royal mail will take it back to the depot if i'm not home, then it'll be out of the fridge till i can collect it!! 😢 XX
I might be reading this wrong, but I’m pretty confident you’re wasting your money on the Wellgard fibre supplement. I was curious myself as sometimes I only hit 15g of fibre (and my aim is 30), so on those days a supp may be helpful.
I went on the brand’s website and on the label it says you get 4044mg of fibre in 3 gummies. That’s 4g of fibre!
A medium apple has 3.3g (3300mg) of fibre!
So with one gummy you’re getting like 1.4g…
If you want a supplement, psyllium husk or insulin powder (1kg giving you 100 servings is about £13 on Amazon) or something like Well within fibre boost is much better I’d say value for money.
As the amount of fibre in these is so little..
Just sharing as I’ve been looking at supplements myself and always find them not really worth the money.
What I personally found that helps is trying to eat more apples, legumes (beans of any kind like black beans, kidney beans, cannoli beans etc as they have loads of fibre)
Can i ask how much is people paying for mounjaro. Also do you go to a higher strength every 4wks. I paid £127 for 2.5mg in the UK.....😊
I paid £113 for my first 2.5mg through MedExpress with code 3RX118 so you could try that for your next prescription. I’ve decided to stay on 2.5mg for week 5-9 because I think the suppression I’m getting is enough at the moment x
I’m on 15mg and I pay $499 USD/Month. I’ve lost 80lbs in 4 1/2 months
Looking forward to YOUR journey please keep us updated ❤
good luck with your journey ,good amount lost in first week xx
❤❤❤❤❤
Fyi...don't be surprised if you lose .5 to 2lbs a week after this first big week. 2lbs is a high number for a weekly average. 😁
I just not sure I could afford that for the rest of my life. It’s pricey. Not against it though. I listened to Dr Terry Bubrow she says good things about it.
Hello 😊
Just diet and exercise works .. don’t need drugs. Who knows long term what this DRUG will do to your body.
It’s not a drug, it is a peptide. Watch some videos from Dr Tyna Moore, it’s really not what you think!
@@AislingMojojojo like what? Yes, is a drug, semaglutide drug, these 'doctors' sellers get paid for saying nonsense
@@ANGELATEDESCHI-sc4vq no, it is a peptide ☺️ you should learn about them and the difference! Interesting stuff!
Your body your choice but I think you're making a huge mistake
You’ve probably never met anyone who has taken this, VERY unlikely she will regret it. The weight will just melt off her.
It's not a huge mistake to try and get healthy
And why is that?
I find it’s a bit pretentious to come and say this to someone you’ve never met and likely have never walked in their shoes.
But if you do have to express genuine concern, why not highlight your reasoning?
33 lbs lost in 11 weeks and physical and mental health and overall quality of life massively improved is no mistake 😅
@@AislingMojojojothey are experimenting with us, so, this products have huge side effects, including tiroid canc3r, they modified your endocrine system and also trigger your brain in an unhealthy way, we will see, we are the rats here..
Oh god please please please don't do this. This is a massive horrible dangerous mistake
It DOESNT WORK unless you change your lifestyle, in which case you don't need to take it. The side effects can be deadly. It's not worth it. You need to change what you're doing as it's not working. Slimming world is a scam. It doesn't work either
I am changing my lifestyle and I’ll be using mounjaro to aid my weight loss alongside those changes. I want to try it and if I get any bad side effects, I won’t continue with it. I’ve done my research and it’s my personal choice but I do appreciate people have their concerns about it and you have a right to share your opinion x
@@babblingbythebrook that's good, if you change your lifestyle I just don't understand why you need it. Anything with the risk of gastroparesis is an absolute no from me unless it's lifesaving, and you're really not dangerously overweight and I'm shocked you got approved for it 😔 stay safe!!
Hi from Scotland, hi helen hope your OK on this I know you have been having trouble loosing weight I have been a subscriber for a long time I to have been having trouble loosing weight just like you it was one pound off and then 1 pound on but I have lost a stone counting my calories but it's been slow but I am happy with my results take care helen great that your a wee mummy. Anne from Scotland
It's changing my life too, no side effects, this works when nothing else does, it's like a miracle.
