I have just made my first order using your code. Thank you for allowing us on your journey, you’re doing so well. I’ve spent a while researching and I can’t wait to start on my journey. I’m at my heaviest weight and feel so embarrassed. Keep on being you 💞💞
Hi Helen, well done on your weight loss so far, lovely. Bless you I do love your channel, you are what I call what you see is what you get girl, so honest and down to earth, never change. Take care xx
Hi Helen, Well done on your progress so far ! Youre looking great .Never mind the naysayers unfortunnately there will always be negative comments. Keep doing you ❤
Leg cramps... try adding electrolytes to your water. (and drink tons of water!) Look into taking magnesium (it also keeps you regular). Congrats on your success so far. You have a great attitude and are very sweet. I applaud your decision to stay on 2.5mg. I was able to stay on it for 2 months. As long as you don't have food noise and your satiety is good, stay on each dose as long as possible. But, if it stops working, don't fret about going up! Many people get so wrapped up in staying on a dose, but then struggle. listen to your body. You got this!! 🎉❤ I started June 24th at 358lbs. I have lost 45lbs... my goal weight is 155-160. I am using compound tirzepatide so I can adjust my dose in smaller increments. I went from 2.5mg (8 weeks) and then to 3.5mg, then 4.5mg and now I am very steady and happy at about 5mg to 5.5mg. Sometimes I go down point 5 mg if things are really good. Each week is different depending on how I feel. I make sure I have no food noise. I do get hungry, but at all the right times, so I eat a healthy protein focused meal and I am satisfied for 4 to 6 hours. I think it is good to feel REAL hunger. Very different than before the medication. I was exactly like you... eyeballing people's food, and thinking always about my next meal or snack. ❤
I used your code so thank you. I’d been thinking about starting on mounjaro too but watching your video last week was reassuring and I took the decision. Week one and I feel great so far. No side effects but I’m ready for them should they happen. 5lbs lost which is unheard of for me. That never happens. So pleased I decided to do this for myself. I feel very positive for my journey ahead. Thank you so much for sharing yours xx
Well done! I'm currently on my 2nd week of 2.5mg and so far no side effects other than a mild headache...I get those anyway so may not be the medication. Lost 3lbs my first week, the one thing I have noticed is that my stomach does not rumble anymore! It's so strange, I do still feel hunger at times but no belly rumble....odd haha x
I am on week 2, from your video I started my journey 5 pounds like you first week, I have been waiting for this video, you are such a lovely lady and I will be watching your journey about this and also your lovely daughter so thank you x
Hi Helen ! Congrats Chick -well done on your weightloss ❤ You do exactly what you want to do and ignore everyone else - no I am not going to tell anyone to “shut up” lol, but there will always people that disagree I have lost over 5 stone one weightloss medication and guess what once you come off it - it is easy to maintain - you have probably adapted a more healthy eating food plan - stick to this when you come off and you will be absolutely fine ❤❤❤
As with any caloric restriction, you will lose muscle as well as fat. Prioritising protein and vegetables as you noted, exercising (especially resistance training) will help counter this and help keep your metabolism up. As to gaining weight after stopping, as you said it's something to worry about then. But one thing that can apparently help is to taper off rather than simple stop (ie if you stay on 2.5, half dosing, if you do end up on 5mg, going back to 2.5mg etc). From personal experience, I'd recommend watching your mineral intake, esp electrolytes. Magnesium citrate esp will help, doubly so with... any bowel movement issues. I love your attitude, well done and keep going 💪
I'm going into my 8th week and today I hit the 1 stone loss . Super happy!! X you made me laugh out load about you sitting and watching your sister eat . 😂
As a fellow early menopause ( due to cancer) person. I have also started the same journey, on week 9 staying on 2.5mg for now, things that have really helped me is prioritising protein, not calorie counting, taking B12, vitamin D, magnesium and collagen to help with avoiding loose skin, adding protein powder to your arvo coffee really helps to hit your daily protein goals, my inflammation has gone down massively and i feel so much better, congratulations on your progress 😊
My nutritionist gave me a great solution to constipation. Buy some whole flax seeds(not ground) 1 tablespoon in a cup pour on boiling water. Leave for 20 minutes then drain and drink water. Do this I evening. Works a treat. Thanks for sharing your journey
Hi Helen. Great video. And you do you. Don’t get caught up in negativity. I’ve been taking mounjaro for 18 weeks and not increased past 5mg. I’m now navigating maintenance. Constipation comes and goes from week to week. I’ve found taking senokot works best for me. 2 tablets before bed usually takes 2-3 days to get back to normal. Good luck for the next 4 weeks.
Hi well done on your weight loss so far. I am also on this journey nearly at the end of week one. I’m so glad I found your video. As your journey is just in front of mine it’s nice to have the tips and advice thank you ☺️
Well done Helen! I’m currently on orlistat prescribed by my gp and lost 13lbs in just over 2 weeks! I will continue to take for 3 months and see what I think, otherwise might try this one, I saw them both on med express so you may of seen it. And love watching you 😊xx
Hi, I’ve been on Mounjaro for a couple of months, had terrible legs cramps and restless legs, I took magnesium anyway as I have fibromyalgia but I found out I needed a stronger one, I use one from Amazon that contains 6 types of magnesium, the leg cramps stopped straight away and helps me sleep massively, would definitely recommend, I also by electrolytes on Amazon too, good luck xx
thanks for sharing your journey! on week 6 and decided like you to stick with 2.5mg. I have PCOS and that the only thing that helped me shift the weight. so far 13.3lbs 😊. hoping it continues x
Hi Helen, Ive enjoyed your update and glad its going well, also the chat as always you make me smile, And I agree it is just people's opinions, and you should stick to what you want to do, i do read other comments and completely understand why you have mentioned it, some do get a bit high rate lol, I loved your jumper/ sweatshirt looked really cosy, Well keep up the good work Helen and see you in the next one 💞
The vet has today given us calming tablets ahead of fireworks night , to take daily until the fireworks stop being let off . The tablets are Yumove calming care ( cheaper at Amazon wish I had realised 🤦🏻♀️) . Your looking well and I’m glad things are working for you . X
Well done on your weight loss. I now have cheek bones😊. I’ve noticed since starting MJ, my acid reflux has gone. It use to be painful. But it’s completely gone now 😊
hey there, looks like you doing great! .... I had my first jab 2 days ago but not noticed any appetite suppression as of yet .... how long after the first jab did you start to notice less hunger? thanks and keep up there vids, its great to see other peoples journeys :) ..... I'm prob just being impatient and need to wait longer for it to kick in. LOL
As soon as I saw the video I could tell you have lost weight straight away in your face! I’m laughing my head off about the cheesecake thing because that is me😂 so mad that food can control your mind so much! Sounds like you’re doing really well as long as you’re happy that’s all that matters ❤❤
I'm on my 2nd week lost 7lb in my 1st week . Only slight heartburn but otherwise I think it's bloody amazing. I've always had large glands they have gone down . Inflammation is the same as you I can really see it on my wrists . This is life changing , oh & I don't count calories just eat 3 healthy small meals but food I fancy ❤
@babblingbythebrook hi helen I am good I am going to morroco end of November so I am back on a diet trying to loose weight I have lost ten pounds but it has took me months to loose it I am glad you are happy on you weight lose journey this time don't listen to bad comments ,I am so happy for you and Tom being mummy and daddy to you wee new princess take care anne from Scotland
Well done on your weight loss, you really made me laugh about the cheesecake I can relate to that, I would sit and watch them hoping they would leave some then make out I wasn’t that bothered about it when offered the left overs and snatch it quick before they changed their minds lol xx
Thanks for the update. Made me LOL. when people said they were full up when offered some chocolate or a treat..I’d think. What difference does that make😂. Beware of bananas. Loaded with sugar as is pineapple and grapes. Not all fruit is that healthy. I’m diabetic so have to be wary.
