    Hi Helen great you are doing well , couple of tips as I’ve been on this weight lost drug longer and lost over 3 stone . Don’t move up if you are losing weight , as moving up does not mean you will lose more ( I have been on 2.5 , 5mg then 7.5 mg and lost no more each week ) and don’t move up if you are having any bad side effects. Moving up will cost more money , you can Oder more then one pen at a time which makes it cheaper as only one delivery charge and they don’t charge as much when ordering the pens . It’s a good idea to watch what you eat as when you come off your appetite does return . What ever does you go up to you then have to work back down to find off and maintain . Hope this helps

    Hi Helen! I am so glad you brought up the fact that you are having vivid dreams! I am as well and I can see from the comments so are others. I was wondering if it might be the Mounjaro because im not under any kind of stress etc and my life is pretty great (touch wood). but these dreams... so vivid and always negative! ugh. thankfully it is not every night but maybe once a week? Ive completed 6 weeks and doing my next jab tomorrow. Im on 5mg. tomorrow will be my 7th jab. and 3rd jab of 5mg. I think i will stay on 5mg until the food noise returns. right now, i feel very good and dont experience food noise til day 5 and 6 which is manageable. Since beginning my journey, I have lost just over a stone which i didnt expect since I am Type 2 diabetic. I keep hearing how it takes longer for diabetics. I feel very fortunate that mine is coming off so quick

      Hi maybe it is a side effect of Mounjaro if you’ve been having strange dreams too. The last couple of night have been fine so hopefully they stop for both of us. You’ve done amazingly well so far!! 😘😘

    Hi Helen! I'm 10lbs down on monjaro, I have definitely experienced vivid dreams, I wake up feeling like the dream has happened it's mad! I've just moved up to 5ml and don't really feel any different so I'm going to try a different place to inject like my leg, thanks for the update 🩷🩷

    When you mentioned vivid dreams… yes!! Ever since I started I’ve had really vivid dreams every single night. They normally wake me up 4/5 times in a night 😭 these have been my only symptom.

    • @babblingbythebrook
      @babblingbythebrook  6 днів тому

      Oh no do you mind me asking what dose you are on? I’m speaking to my provider about it and I’m possibly going to move back down to 2.5mg. My suppression is a bit too strong on 5mg and I wasn’t having weird dreams on the lower dose x

    • @Dariaaa117

    Well done on your weight loss Helen and thanks for sharing your recipes and your method of cooking chicken breast as mine in the pan turns out like rubber 😂 Is it 220 deg fan forced or regular bake? Thanks for your lovely videos and don’t pay attention to the negative comments from those less informed 💕

    • @babblingbythebrook
      @babblingbythebrook  11 днів тому

      Thank you so much. Yes if I just do chicken breast in the oven it always turns out dry but pan frying it first makes such a big difference I learnt that from making hello fresh recipes. It’s 220 fan 12-15 mins depending on the size of the chicken breast x

    If you're eating 3 healthy meals a day then you dont need that injection. It is ridiculous promoting this! I can tell you now as soon as you stop using it and go back to eating 'normal food' you will bang the weight straight back on because although you are eating healthy. You're not having nowhere near the calories that is healthy for you!

    • @babblingbythebrook

      This medication is doing more for me than just aiding weightloss. It has massively reduced my symptoms of lipodema. If you have watched any of my previous videos about this, you will know I went into early menopause at the age of 27, making it extremely hard for me to maintain a healthy weight since. I highly doubt you are in the same situation, so unless you are in the same situation and have the same medical conditions and experiences I have, you're not in a position to comment on what I need or don't need, sorry! Yes, you are entitled to your opinion of course but that's all it is. I'm all for opinions being shared by the way but there are other ways of sharing what you think without being rude. I'm not promoting Mounjaro either. I am sharing my experience for those who are interested. Also, yes I am having enough calories. My TDEE right now is 1,456 calories as I am 4ft11. So to be in a calorie deficit, I have to eat less than that. Thank you for your concern but I'm a 35 year old woman and I know what I'm doing.
