Weight Watcher's Thread

Aimed to be down to about 87Kg now from a January starting of 94kg. Currently 95.5kg

After being roundly fed up with the lack of progress, I thought I'd give Mounjaro a go - started in April at 97kg.

Currently at 82kg, losing approx 0.8kg a week.

Only side effect is a lighter wallet.

Are you very muscular? I reckon that you are 3-4" shorter than me (I am 6' 1"), and I still had a significant 'aero belly' at 80 kg. I think that I would need to be around 73 kg to get rid of it altogether, or a few kg heavier if I put on some (probably much-needed) upper body muscle.

My legs certainly are ! 73kg would be too low for me. Just keeping at it for the improvement in HBA1C as it was creeping up with excess weight.- We'll see how that's going in a couple of weeks with my usual annual blood tests. Could only get an evening one which isn't ideal for the 'usual test' for testosterone as I will be low. Morning tests are a bit hit and miss, take a reading before meds it's very low, take one 2 hours after meds it should be 'normal' but usually low end of the range. Wife has similar issues with thyroid meds, the meds surpress certain readings and unless you properly understand what they mean, the doctor goes ;oh you are on too much'. She's had to explain it every time to a new GP (she was under a consultant endocrinologist like me, but they have retired).

Good progress, and colleagues have seen similar losses, and most have kept it off.

Weight / height measures like BMI are a bit blunt, given differing body shapes /builds. A very simple keep your waist measurement (measured around the belly button) at less that half your height is a much better guideline.
