Hi Marcia! Fab video 🙂 This is my 4th day...so far feeling great and haven't had any bad side effects. Cravings for snacks have all but disappeared! Amazing isn''t it. I'm still eating a normal dinner...but there's no way I could eat my usual breakfast and lunch too! I've swapped out my breakfast for a low fat protein shake 🙂 I've had some crazy dreams the last couple of nights 😄 -7lbs down too!! 😲
Oh my God I’d forgotten about the dreams 🤣🤣 yes …. Soooo vivid lol. You are doing amazing!!!! I’m so happy for you hun. It’s an incredible drug and really helps so much.
Wishing you a great week ahead. Xxx♥️
So good to see a U.K. journey on this mounjaro. Thank you! I’m on day 13 (45 years old & the perimenopause weight gain is real! Never really had a weight issue other than pregnancies) just cannot shift these gaining pounds & made me feel horrible, sluggish & just not myself. So far 8lb down & feeling fantastic. No adverse side effects other than constipation in week 2. My head feels clearer, my anxiety is even reducing & my mood is way better. I’ve heard with new research it works well in conjunction with menopause symptoms so this is ticking so many boxes for me. Thanks for sharing your journey 🙏🏼👍🏼
Hiya hun …. You are off to an amazing start - well done!!!!
Oh the struggle is real as l isn’t it. It’s just the worst thing putting on this weight. I felt I was losing my identity which sounds so dramatic.
I’m the happiest I’ve been in years. Definitely the best decision for me. Good luck with your continued journey. Keep me posted with your progress - would love to know how you are doing xxx♥️
@@ladymawa btw…I think your energy is fabulous! Glad I found your account.
Yes will deffo keep you updated! Thanks for the help & info on your channel 🫶🏼 xx
Aw you are so welcome ♥️ Thankyou for making me smile xx
Dealing with new side effects can be tough, but you're handling it with such grace. Keep listening to your body
Woop woop 🙌 well done you!!!!!!
Amazing!!!!!!!
Nearly 15lbs in 5 weeks…. Without the food noise! That’s a mega result!
It’s just incredible Michelle. I’m honestly blown away by it. Even the odd day feeling crap is totally worth it to me. I feel I have a little spring back in my step. Xxx♥️
It's refreshing to hear you have just started your weight loss.as I wanted to follow someone who has just stated their jounary. I sent my injections in a few weeks time I can't wait I have been very unhappy within myself even though family loves me but are not happy about going down this route, but nothing is working. My fears are the side affects
Hi there. Thankyou so much for messaging me and watching my video. It can feel very daunting at the start of your journey and it’s completely normal to feel anxious about it. I can honestly say there has not been a single day that I’ve regretted my decision. It’s the best thing I have ever done. I feel so much happier and honestly the side effects have mainly been very mild. Everyone’s journey is their own but I honestly wish you the very best of luck. If I can help with any information at all please just let me know xxx♥️
Thank you for your videos, I started yesterday with Tirzepetade, no secondary effects, same hunger levels yesterday and today, I’m microdosing, starting very low, half of baby dosis and I’m going to monitor how I feel.
Thankyou so much for watching ♥️
That’s interesting that you are taking small doses. So are you taking 1.25mg? Xxx
New subscriber here….I am thoroughly enjoying your channel.Love your positivity and honest description of how your path on Mounjaro is going. Congratulations on your consistent, wonderful health changes.
I am in the US (Florida) and on my third month of Mounjaro……also thrilled with the results!🥰. Just finished 4th injection of 5 dose. Initially a small reaction with heartburn, but feeling great now. Isn’t it incredible how everyone reacts differently? But we are BRAVE and PATIENT and we WILL win!💪🏼🩵🙌🏻
Hi there and a very warm welcome hun. So pleased that you have watched my video and taken the time to leave such a lovely comment♥️
I’m happy to hear that you are having such a positive experience on mounjaro … I absolutely love it and am feeling so good. It really makes you feel so positive about everything.
We most certainly will get there …. We’ve got this!!!!
Have a wonderful week and do keep in touch
🥰😘♥️
Love your vlogs you are so friendly and relatable. I've ordered Mounjaro and just about to take my first 2.5 dose. Can I ask where you recommend to inject being a nurse previously, and does it hurt as not a fan of needles. Thank you
Hi there …. Thankyou so much♥️ this means so much honest. I am really excited to hear you’ve got your mounjaro …. Let me know each week how you are doing.
I personally think that the tummy is the best site and so easy to do on yourself. Thighs are also meant to be easy but I’ve only used my tummy. I haven’t felt it at all but I understand your anxiety. I was nervous too the first time. Just make sure you change the injection site each week. Oh and count to 10 with the needle still in after you’ve given yourself the injection.
Best of luck darling - you’ve got this xxx♥️
I love these videos so much, so happy I found your channel. I took my first shot of semaglutide on Thursday eve and have been too scared to tell anyone. These videos make me feel a lot less lonely about it ❤ also you remind me of Meryl Streep, stunning!
Hey there …. A huge welcome ♥️
Please share here if you feel happy to do so. It’s nice to be able to have a little communication with someone to feel less alone. One thing I’ve discovered through sharing my journey so far is that there are a lot of people using this medication. I wish you every success my love. If you have any questions or would like me to discuss anything in particular please do ask.
Thankyou for your lovely comments ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for your videos. It's nice to hear a British perspective on these medications. Like you, I'm currently on Mounjaro 5mg and have suffered all the side effects that you have mentioned as well as a couple of bouts of diarrhoea which were very unpleasant 😮😮.
I've taken a week off of the jab as im currently on my holiday and didn't want to experience any nasty side effects whilst sitting by the pool 😊😊.
Could I ask which Facebook groups you are on? The ones I've found are all American. Also any chance you could do your weights in kilos? Aged 56 down 5 kilos so far.😊😊
I hope the side effects get better soon and you feel all the benefits..Hope you enjoy the wedding too.Take cars and congratulations o😊n your fab weight loss.xx
Hi hunny. I’m feeling so much better this evening thank goodness. I’m looking forward to the wedding so much.
Have a lovely evening xxx
Hi new subscriber here, in the last 2 years I’ve lost 70 lb on low carb then 20 lbs back on sadly,so I’m startstarting mounjaro today 😬 ,nice to find someone from the Uk and a fellow Yorkshire lass x
Hi hun. Wow that’s an amazing weightloss!! Huge congratulations on that. Good luck with your new phase of your weightloss.
Where are you in Yorkshire - waving right back xxx♥️
@@ladymawa Holmfirth x
Beautiful … my son lives in Golcar so not that far away.
Enjoy the sunshine hun xxx
Loving the updates Marcea, well done on your progress and enjoy the wedding xx
Thankyou so much ♥️ I can’t wait for the wedding xxx
Congrats on your progress and I'm glad you are feeling better. I like the app you are using as a tracker- so much good info in one app!
Yeah it’s really good isn’t it. It’s the RENPHO app which pairs with my scales. Was really cheap off Amazon.
Thanks for your support and kind message ♥️
@@ladymawa Thanks for the tip, needed a new scale anyway and this one looks perfect, and well inexpensive!
It’s really great for the price. Does everything you could need xxx
Awesome! You're doing great! Have fun at the wedding!🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳 Safe travels, sweetie!❤
Thankyou ♥️. I’ve been looking forward to it for ages. Xxx
Hi I think that was me. Glad you are feeling a bit better today. I’m on my second week of Mounjaro. Today I feel much better. My third dose is Friday. I have got some anti sickness tablets from behind the counter and I’m hoping that next week it might help me. I have already ordered the 7.5mg and I am hoping that I am used to the medication by then 😢.I hope you have a fantastic time at the wedding. Scotland is beautiful. I live in the borders. Xx
Glad you are feeling better today hun. Is it your 2nd week of 5mg (6 weeks in total). Bless you, hope your symptoms settle. If not will you see about trying to get another 5mg instead or will you still move up to 7.5?
Yes we love Scotland. Or house is up for sale, plan to move around Castle Douglas/Kirkcudbright area ♥️
Hope you have a good week hunny xxx
@@ladymawa Hi so I will be going into my 3rd week of 5mg on Friday. I think I am going to try the 7.5mg as I’m still quite hungry on the 5mg xx
Good luck hun. Keep going till you reach your happy dose … hope your side effects remain in check xxx
You're doing fabulously well lovely and your exuberance is infectious 🥰. Did my first jab Sunday. So far so good except today I'm so bloated I look like Jabba the hut 😳. Bit off putting I must say! Hope it subsides 🤞🙏. Loving your vlogs xx thank you for doing them
Thankyou so much … I feel so happy 🤗
Ooh that’s exciting that you have got started on your journey. The bloating can be so uncomfortable. Mine has finally settled down for now thank goodness. Hang in there, it’s all worth it xxx♥️
Well done Marcea! I hope that the side effects wear off. I agree that your blood sugars may have dipped yesterday. Enjoy your wedding event. Taje care x
Thanks Ursula. Thankfully feeling fantastic again - yay lol.
Hope you are having a good week my love xx
Hello from Arizona. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Hello and welcome 🤗 so great to have you here with me ☀️☀️☀️
Thankyou for taking the time to comment. It’s very much appreciated xx♥️
Congrats! Hope the wedding is lovely x
Thanks my love ♥️♥️
I’ve not found many uk TH-cam videos on this . On week 6 myself x❤
Hi and welcome. I know … this is one of the reasons I decided to share my journey. There just aren’t the personal journeys here on yt. We are around the same point on our journey. How are you getting on.
Thankyou for watching and taking the time to comment xx♥️
@@ladymawa I had no effect good or bad on 4 weeks of 2.5 . Was worried about side effects I’ve seen when upping to 5 so I’m doing 2.5 twice a week , glad I did as 2nd 2.5/of the week hit me. Food suppression so bad could barely get down water at all . Now two days later can drink but not eating much at all . Have had crazy vivid dreams from the start and on second double week dose had insomnia. I’ve lost 6lb in 5 weeks which I was disappointed with as eating good but the first month really didn’t have any effect on food suppression x
@elf9967 are you planning to continue giving twice a week? Maybe have a chat with your provider to see what they would suggest. You might be better going back to just 2.5mg once a week then look at increasing to 5mg with your next pen. I’m worried about the frequency of your injections my love. This is off license and can’t be that good for you. Hope you don’t mind me saying. Of course I respect it’s your journey but I would honestly have a chat with your Prescriber for dosing advice.
It is not uncommon in the first month not to have any suppression. This is a loading dose for your body to get used to the medication. You should still feel hungry but should start to be fuller on less food as the weeks go on. Good luck my love - hope you are able to manage your side effects safely xx
@@ladymawa no I wasn’t looking to keep it up twice a week , just I’ve seen others say doubling to 5 made them sick so they moved up to it gradually . 2.5 once a week didn’t do anything for me , twice a week has knocked my hunger away completely . Def don’t want more jabs than I need x
@elf9967 just checking sweetie. Don’t want you making yourself ill. Once a week is the best way my love ♥️
Have a great day and can’t wait to hear how you are getting on.
I feel great again on my 5mg - hope that helps xxx
Hiya what’s the fb page please you mentioned ? Amazing results well done, just catching up on your vlogs as and when I can lol 😂xx
Hi hun, so many of the Facebook groups have now been taken down. I’ll mention a few new ones in my next weekly update xxx
@@ladymawa Hi thank you and no probs if not :)
Marcea, you look beautiful!!!
I feel a bit of a sweaty mess but Thankyou hunny ♥️
Thanks for sharing your journey
Thankyou so much ♥️♥️ glad to have you here xx
As a nurse- how do you settle yourself w all the reported issues ?
Which issues are you referring to my love? Xx
Well done Marcia & thank you for sharing your journey it is so helpful! Can I ask what app or scales you have for your weight/ body composition? Also is the Weightwatchers GLP1 program worth signing up to? I’m about to go through a consultation with the pharmacy you are with & wondered about the Weightwatchers app, are you on their GLP1 programme? Have an amazing time at the wedding! X
Hi there my love. I bought my scales from Amazon - these are the ones amzn.to/4ciLTPc
There is an app you download and it sends the info to your app via Bluetooth.
As for weightwatchers. I was already a member prior to starting mounjaro so I just switched the settings to use the glp1 tracking section. There’s lots of info on there too.
Do you mean do I get my injection from WW? If so the answer is no. I think that’s only in America as far as I believe. I get my injections from Med Express and then just use the WW app to log my food. They have some good recipes too.
Not sure if that answers your question. 🙈xx
That’s great thank you - I believe you get your prescription from MEDEXPRESS and I have just put in the order & awaiting approval so I can start this journey which has been inspired by you so thank you & I look forward to watching your updates & tips! It would be great if you could share your strength training regime as i will need to start to prevent too much muscle loss! Thanks again Marcia x
Ooh that’s so exciting. I’m so glad I could help inspire you …. Thankyou, that means so much to me ♥️♥️
Of course I’ll share my exercises etc. protecting muscle is one of the most important things you have to do on any glp1 weightloss journey xxx
Good luck hun xxxxx♥️
Hi well done so far. Are u able to show how u adminster the injections please
Hi hun
Right now I don’t really think I want to. Not sure what the TH-cam regulations are either about showing myself injecting a drug. There are other videos though that are on TH-cam that do.
I will show how to set the pen up though in another video xx
❤❤
😘♥️
I’m going on holiday on Friday driving to France/ferry and I’m due to do my first 5mg dose the day before! I’m a bit worried about a big jump in side effects so do I just do another 2.5 and wait, yikes!
Hi hun
So I suppose you have a couple of options really.
You could repeat the dose or move up and just see how it goes. Or you could maybe take a couple of days early.
It’s hard to say. If you have an extra dose of 2.5 I’d probably do that on my normal day. I have kept same dose previously when I went away just because I was worried.
Take Imodium instants is my one piece of advice just incase xxx
@@ladymawa ok thanks so much. I took the 5 a day early so far I feel a bit nauseous……
Hopefully it will pass quickly. If you still feel nauseous maybe see if you can get an anti emetic prescribed. Xxxx
Woke up today feeling so much better and I lost 4lb this week! Thanks for your replies and helpful videos x

Todays my 4th shot of 2.5mg, slight brusing on the left thigh, last week no bruising on right thigh 😑
Hope you have a good week. How is your journey going so far. Are you planning to move up dose or stick on the 2.5mg for another pen. I’ve not injected in thigh yet xx
@@ladymawaI've lost 16.2lbs in 3wks, started on the 4 June. Today's my last shot of 2.5mg, I haven't lost anything for a few days now, stuck on 68.4kg. Next Tuesday I'm going on 5mg for 12wks. I got 3 pens already purchased, I may adjust to 7.5mg for the last 2wks if i need. Well done on your journey, your very active.
Well done hun. Can I ask how you got 3 pens in one go? Just wondering what happens if you needed to move up sooner or wanted to go back to 2.5mg
You have done so well with your weightloss. Can I ask if you are in the uk or US?
Good luck getting to your goal xx
@@ladymawathank you. I'm in the UK London. I've got the initial 2.5mg pen with another 5mg. Then went to another company and got 2x 5mg pens, I thought I can adjust the dosage from 5mg to 7.5mg if I need that extra suppressant x
@shazanakhan9807 ah fair enough. Good luck hun ♥️
Hope you get on well with it xxx
I am on my 2nd week, so far no side effects except little tired . Down 5lbs . I take my med on Saturday. I was wondering if anyone has stayed on the starter pack longer than the initial 4 weeks I was prescribed?
Hi there. Well done on the weight you have lost so far. Glad you are getting on well with your injections.
I have heard of lots of people that stay on 2.5mg of it is working for them. In would say see how you feel when it is your 3rd injection and order then. If you are getting food noise out you aren’t getting that early satiety it may be worth considering moving up. If you have a chat with your provider they will be able to advise you. Just do what feels right xxx good luck ❤️
Is it honestly worth all the side effects of feeling so unwell?
I’ve hardly had any at all. The ones I mention are usually fairly mild. I think in my daily vlogs you can see how well I am feeling 🤗. Only one day of feeling really nauseous. So yes … it absolutely is worth it ♥️♥️
Which app are you using,?
Hi … do you mean for my weight? It It is the RENPHO app which pairs in with RENPHO scales
I bought these ones really cheaply from Amazon
amzn.to/4cj11Mu
Hope that helps xx♥️
Always want to watch your vids but you are too rambly honestly who has 40/50 minutes? Js
I appreciate your feedback and this is something I’ve been working on. This weeks is 23 minutes so I’m getting there . Sorry you think I’m rambly … I just talk a lot xx
Thanks for your videos. It's nice to hear a British perspective on these medications. Like you, I'm currently on Mounjaro 5mg and have suffered all the side effects that you have mentioned as well as a couple of bouts of diarrhoea which were very unpleasant 😮😮.
I've taken a week off of the jab as im currently on my holiday and didn't want to experience any nasty side effects whilst sitting by the pool 😊😊.

Hi hun. So sorry you’ve had some horrid side effects. I hope you are having a fantastic holiday right now.
I’ll add some links to the Facebook groups that I joined. I don’t really use them that much now but initially I searched mounjaro uk on Facebook and added a load lol.
I’ll start adding kilos to my weekly and monthly updates … if I forget drop me a message and I’ll add it after as a pinned comment xxx
