Can I just say I HUGELY appreciate all the positivity in the comments, and also a big thank you to those who have shared their own stories as well - so much useful information there for everybody who has an interest in this subject.
@@katieg5138 I find if there’s nausea fluid really helps but electrolytes should be used occasionally as they can cause strain on the kidneys, I didn’t know this but mentioned I was using them daily. As they say every day is a school day. 😊
This is exactly what I needed !!! PLEASE PLEASE do a monthly honest update like this as we can not find this information as it was excellent !!! I am considering taking this at the moment and want to research everything as realise its a life long commitment which is ok as taking blood pressure meds / thyroid meds is a life long commitment too so that was what was putting me off which now I feel is not a worthy excuse , too plus the expense as you say could easily off set in takeaways / meals out / snacks. I am on thyroid meds and need to find out more about munjaro round these issues first . So well done Caroline please keep us informed monthly xxx
So much respect for you in posting this, Caroline ! I wish you every continued success. I could’ve said everything you’ve said here - ‘food noise’, goodness me but that’s the perfect way to describe it ! I’m 56 and the heaviest that I’ve ever been too. A close friend has been on Mounjaro since the summer, she has had brilliant success with it and reversed many of her longstanding health issues as well as looking great and dropping several dress sizes. She has been gently encouraging me to try it too but I’ve been too scared. Seeing your video has really made me think seriously about trying it out for myself now. Please do us an update if you feel that you can ! Much love to you x
Thank you for sharing this very personal story. Really well done on the weight loss. The video was so informative and handled so sensitively regarding not wanting to talk about where you get the drug from. A really great video and I genuinely applaud your openness. x
Hi Caroline - I'm a 70 year old Type 1 diabetic who has had the disease for 56 years and put weight on continually over the years. I was prescribed Mounjaro by my endocrinologist because it has been shown to help us with reducing the amount of insulin we use and also weight. its been a huge game-changer for me! I went from a size 16 (US) to a size 8 pair of jeans!! I also use about one-third of the amount of insulin I used to use, plus I came off blood pressure meds. I hope you continue your journey with Mounjaro because you will feel so much better and have so much more energy! Kudos to you for taking this step.
@@CarolineMrsM I really hope you keep letting us know how you're doing. I think more videos of your experiences will be wonderful to see as the weight comes off. And then you can talk about the surprising NSV's (non-scale victories) you have too!!
That's brilliant Caroline. Well done. My husband has been on the tablet form of this drug for a year now and has lost 25 kg (from 110kg). He has had similar side effects to you but nothing he couldn't put up with and which gradually stopped after the first few months. He's now in maintenance and doing well. One thing that has really helped has been walking. He often does 20k steps a day. Please give us an update every so often.
Wow , your video has really given me a lot of food for thought. Such a lot of what you said I can totally relate to and it has really made me think. Thank you Caroline - a very well put together video - you are sharing your thoughts , experiences etc to help people make their own choices ....... not preaching. Well done. x
Well done Caroline, it’s probably the most positive thing you can do for yourself…My daughter has been on Mounjaro and has just finished the 7.5.. she’s looking and feeling great and like you, says the disappearance of food noise is just incredible and wonders if this mindset is how naturally slim people feel…please do a monthly update xx
Hello Caroline I'm 68 yrs old had high blood pressure high colestrol etc etc and decided to go on wagovy and it's changed my life! My doctor was shocked when he took my BP and checked my colestrol as it was normal for first time in years I lost 3 stone but I've gone from size 28 to size 16/18 my weight hasn't moved much now but I'm still loosing in inches I bought this myself as my doctor said go to slimming class lol My friends can't believe the change in me and other day I gave 60 pieces of clothing to charity as too big. It's given me a new lease of life. I'm so happy to see your video and keep going Love your video never post but had to say Well done and ignore any neg comments it's your life! Look forward to see how you do hugs Catherine oap lol xx❤
Nobody understands that ‘you just like to eat’ story unless you have been there yourself. So happy it’s working for you. I am 76 so know the weight story well.
Thank you so much for sharing. The “ food noise” is something that will resonate with many of us. Well done on making a very positive health choice. xx
Can’t thank you enough for this Caroline. I’m of a similar age and I too have struggled for most of my adult life. Slimming clubs didn’t help me. I’ve been considering doing Mounjaro also ❤
Well done Caroline! I have been on wegovy for a few months and although I am a slow user have lost 2 1/2 stone and am the lightest I have been for 8 years would you believe! I think these drugs definitely have their place and I am delighted with the results so far! Take care.
Was so happy to see this video Caroline .I am in my second week of Mounjaro and have it for my diabetes as my blood sugar levels were difficult to control with tablets.Already my sugar levels are reading normal and I have lost a lot 7 pounds.I needed to lol.I'm also hoping that losing weight will help with my back pain (arthritis and deteriorated discs).My side effects have been nausea and indigestion.My appetite also went straight away and I feel full after very little food.My food choices have to be quite plain and low fat or I get stomach pain and diarrhea.I am staying on 2.5 at the moment as it is working for me.Thank you again for being brave enough to post this it was great to hear the experiences of an honest reviewer.I have followed you for a while now.I wish you every success on your Mounjaro journey.xx
Hi Caroline I'm currently doing a weight loss app and am interested to find out how your journey with mounjaro goes along on a monthly basis Im presently needing to loose a couple of stones and have been wondering about these weight loss injections thanks for doing this vlog
How fascinating. I really hadn’t given this serious thought before. I imagine that all your reasons for taking it are shared by a lot of us out here. I wish you all the very best with it. Thank you for sharing. Side note, I know it’s all about health but don’t forget you’re super gorgeous, super interesting and have a very kind heart regardless of what you weigh ❤
Hi Caroline, thank you for making this video. I'm 62 and I have this same story as you more or less . It is very hard to lose weight as I got older . I started mounjaro in September. I'm so glad you're not having side effects as mine are quite bad . I have lost 19lb . I'm over the moon with that . So dispite the terrible side effect I have kept taking it. I did go up but then back down to the 2.5 mg . I would love update videos please x
Am so glad Caroline that you posted this video, I am 56, in exactly the same position, food obsessed, weight gain - worse since the lock downs, cannot shift it due to physical limitations, I would love you to update every now and then, I wish you luck on your journey 😊xx
Thank you Caroline for sharing so much personal information in such a frank and realistic way. Those of us who are also middle aged or slightly older, overweight, and not succeeding on the recognised weight loss programmes will identify with so much of what you have said here. I am so interested to hear about your Mounjaro journey because I'm considering it also, and I would love to hear how you get on as the weeks roll by. Like many, I guess, I'm deterred by the reports of side-effects. Please do more and ignore any unpleasant comments that you might receive. ❤
You are such an inspiration......listening to you talk about your weight and struggles with losing weight is like I am listening to myself thinking! I do hope you continue with another follow-up. I started Weight Watchers in April of this year and have been pleased with myself for losing 30 pounds but it is so and up and down and I seem to have hit a plateau - which I know is common. The information you shared has definitely helped me with my thoughts on trying the shots. Bless you!
Hi Caroline I've just stumbled across your channel and was delighted to find a UK person of a certain age sharing their journey. I've just taken my 4th dose and have lost 11lbs 😊 Good luck on your journey, kind regards Dawn
Well done, Ms Caroline! I was diagnosed with Diabetes 2 in May weighing too much. Ozempic helped me lose 40+ pounds in 4 months. The food noise stopped, the weight fell off. I changed my diet dramatically and eat tons of veggies, lean protein, and drink a lot of water. Half of my plate is always veggies, 1/4 is protein, 1/4 is a complex carb. No sweets, no caffeine, my treat of choice is a small serving of fruit twice a day. It’s a journey! Good luck, Sweet Lady!
Good on you Caroline! If you receive any negativity, ignore it - you do what you feel is right for you. What you said about control makes such sense to me - I lost a lot of weight with LighterLife, and the sense of control over everything, not just food, was mind boggling. I felt confident and able to achieve anything. You go for it, I’d love to know how you get on! 👍
Caroline thank you for sharing. I started on mounjaro this week due to health issues I have, I was really worried about the side effects but luckily haven’t experienced any yet, the food noise stops and so does the wanting alcohol which has been game changing. I too struggled to find someone in the uk talking about it and could only find lady mawa who has some good advice and tips. I really do hope you keep us updated. I think you are incredibly brave, I’ve only told two people as I’m very worried about the comments I may get.
Don’t worry about what others say!! Do what’s right for you, it’s none of their business!! A lot of people have low self esteem and need to put people down to make themselves feel better. It’s very sad really. Good for you looking after number 1 😘👍
Hi Caroline, I just want to say I’ve been on Mounjaro since mid June and to date have lost 51lb, I found it got rid of my food noise and has really been a useful tool. Now I’ll watch this video.😊😊
@@gigilou thank you, believe me as a woman in my 60’s and really fat since childhood I’ve tried everything, so to find myself actually losing weight and not feeling deprived is a welcome change, obviously everyone will react differently to this drug, for me though my gp felt I was at such a risk of heart attack,stroke etc that despite possible side effects of the drug it was definitely worth the risk.
Hi Caroline, I could not have been happier to have seen your vidio this morning, I too are in thr process of researching this way of weight loss for the very same reasons. I must say I enjoy your videos immensely and always seem to brighten my day. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you Caroline. Anybody who has been overweight will know how debilitating it can be. Listening to you just now I heard so much of what I have experienced. Keep going and do what you know is right for you.
Hi Caroline - I have tried like you to lose weight for years but since starting Wegovy I’ve lost 22lbs and feel great. Shopping for clothes is now a pleasure. Well done you I wish you every success.
OMG Caroline, I am so proud of you for being brave enough to put out a weight loss vlog. There are some really horrible people out there somewhere, that don't hold back on their opinion. So poo to them !! I am so pleased for you, this sounds like it could be just the thing you needed. I am behind you 100% and hope that this works a charm. I was at my Doctors Yesterday and we were talking about Ozempic, I was on it last year, but then it was too hard to get it at the chemist, so we agreed to give it a rest. However I have put on so much more weight and my health is now suffering so it looks like I will be going back on it soon. You will be a New Woman when you get to New York. Have a wonderful week and stay safe. ❤🦘❤
What a brave lady you are to do this vlog on such a sensitive and private issue and to run the gauntlet of possible ugly negative insensitive comment ( which I dearly hope are on the few side). Well done on the weight loss and an immense thank you for sharing all the information which by reading the comments so far have definitely helped so many ❤ Rosey
Caroline, I think you are very brave sharing this with us all, it’s something I’m sure a lot of us are interested in. You are doing so well , just keep going and PLEASE do follow ups on this. I just hope you don’t get any negative comments, you certainly don’t deserve any. Well done you .💖
Good morning Caroline, I know the struggle to lose weight and fighting the “food noise” is the hardest. Good for you I say, you do what’s right for you. If you want to share I’m sure it would help others but you are the priority do what’s right for you. All best wishes to you. I look forward to seeing an even more gorgeous version of you. ❤
Omg Caroline this could not have come at a better time I’m starting mine this Sunday! I’ve been watching Lady Mawa (on UA-cam) lovely lady from Yorkshire so have a look at her channel as her results are amazing! I too have struggled with my weight and since my illness ME/Cfs been getting worse plus peri menopause my weight has piled on and now starting to affect my health negatively so I thought enough is enough and taken the plunge. Good luck to you too and I look forward to great results xx
This video has come at a great time as I am considering taking Mounjaro myself. Like many others , I have struggled with my weight for all my life (including my childhood when I was on meal replacements/ "slimming biscuits" at junior school!) . I've tried many different weight loss methods and had some significant success with LighterLife 20 years ago, but over the years, the 6 stone I lost has nearly all returned and I was feeling helpless , now suffering from hip arthritis and facing possible hip replacement surgery that I'm desperate to avoid. So Mounjaro seemed to be a new possible solution and seeing your video has given me the impetus to go ahead with it. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Hi Caroline. I’m T2 diabetic and been on Mounjaro for this since May 2024. Lost 44lbs and normalised blood sugar. I don’t know what people who buy this will do when they come off it as the food noise and weight comes back on with a vengeance I’ve heard. I’m on this for life and I guess fortunate that I get this on the NHS but I worry for people who can’t sustain the cost forever. It’s been a wonderful tool for me who’s been overweight since childhood but I know I’d be back at square one without it.
Hello Caroline, I have watched your videos for a long time and really appreciate you sharing your personal journey. Your weight loss is amazing. I will always watch your content and wish you health and happiness x
Thank you so much for posting this video, I’m so glad I came across it. I’m the same age as you and started my mounjaro journey 3.5 weeks ago and have just ordered my 5mg dose. I’ve (touch wood) not had too many side effects and after my 3 week weigh in lost 12lb. I’m feeling great and positive. Please keep us updated on your progress. 😊
Thank you Caroline for your honesty. Weight loss is such a personal subject, I can feel your reluctance to discuss it on your channel.I am sure you will have helped many people who might be thinking of going down this weight loss path. If taking this drug makes you feel better about yourself, reduces your BMI and has several positive health effects, why not give it a try? Perhaps a Q&A after 3 months might be useful. Thank you so much.
Hi Caroline, its Betty , I have been intouch with you in the past..and i have always loved your channel. I just want to thank you and encourage you on your Mounjaro journey. I started mine in the beginning of September this year..have lost 20 pounds so far. 1st month 2.5, 2nd month 5 and just started 7.5 on Wednesday past. I agree 💯 with you it's life changing and for me so many other health benefits. I do hope you do a follow up and I hope and pray those naysayers leave you alone and dont deter you in any way. Well done on yiur wonderful weightloss so far and well done for sharing. I for one am tremendously grateful and encouraged. Much love and prayers and blessings Betty x
Appreciate you sharing this information Caroline. I am 68 and have a very similar story to you. I am definitely going to look into this . Thankyou so much for your honesty.
Thank you for this Caroline. It’s not something I have considered recently, but am experiencing similar health problems to yourself, plus difficulty regulating my blood sugar levels, so this may be an answer. Hope it keeps working satisfactorily for you.
I wish I could articulate my emotions as eloquently as you, Caroline. The concept of "food noise" that you mentioned resonated with me, as I've experienced it for years, and your words helped me realize that I'm not alone. Two years ago, I successfully lost nearly 7 stone with Slimming World and have maintained my target weight. However, the "food noise" persists, and it's a daily struggle to stay on course. I wholeheartedly wish you the best on your journey, Caroline. We must each find what works for us to maintain our health. Your honesty is truly appreciated.
This podcast reinforces why i enjoy your podcasts so much. You keep it real and honest. I wish you every good wish, not just in your weight loss journey, but in everything you. Thank you for the the time and effort this must take and the information you share.
Hi Caroline, thanks so much for making this video. I have struggled with my weight for years and at 55 it has started to have a detrimental impact on my health. I too have tried diets and diet clubs with very little success. Weight loss drugs have crossed my mind but sounded a bit scary, it is really helpful to learn about someone else's experience with them. l will certainly be doing some research now and want to wish you every success with your weight loss journey x
Thank you so much for recording this vlog. I have been interested in the weight loss drug since first reading about it and it wasn’t well known. I asked my Doctors who said they were not prescribing it and recommended diet and exercise. I have bad arthritis and currently undergoing tests for diabetes. I really wanted a safe way of purchasing and this helps immensely. I am over 40 BMI and have tried everything. I don’t drive or leave the house unless I have a lift. I’m not sure of taking it for life but I really want to try it. Thank you for your advice and the experience of your first month Caroline 👌🏼💗
Thank you for making this video...I have ozempic in my fridge for a month and am scared to start using it . After watching you I've decided to start next Monday. I will have my fingers crossed for success for both of us!
Oh Caroline am so pleased you are trying it . Am 55 done all the diets of course 🙈 I’ve loved being on this drug and lost 30ibs got 10ib to go it’s changed my life . I agree the metal food noise has been amazing. You sound like me a good responser I’ve stayed on 2.5 for 3 months and just gone up to 5mg I don’t plan on going up . I’ve had hardy any side affects. Just keep going it works ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for doing this video. Would love to hear more about your journey. Only the constipation worries me as I’ve got that problem to start with. Please don’t let trolls put you off telling your story. It’s fascinating hearing the truth from someone I trust on such an important issue.
Fiber gummies, flax seed, chia seeds and fresh fiber filled fruits and veggies seem to help me. I make overnight oats with added berries and chia seeds everyday for breakfast. Hope this helps…good luck!
Thank you so much Caroline for this video it’s come at just the right time for me. I totally trust you and respect your decision, l am now looking into going on Mounjaro myself. My weight has consistently gone up year upon year and l am now the heaviest I’ve even been. The cost is a factor for me but l believe the health benefits will be more than worth it. I have high BP, knee and back pain which l am sure are exacerbated by my excess weight. I’ll be very interested to have updates of how you’re getting on. Thank you for sharing and inspiring ❤️ xxxxxx
What a great post, so interesting and informative. I hope you do continue to update us because I’m sure there are plenty of your followers, me included, who have been considering weight loss medication but don’t know where to start or even if it works. You also hear so many horror stories that it’s quite scary. I wish you every success and look forward to your next update - hopefully.
Caroline, great video and I appreciate your openness. I would love to hear how you progress on with is. As far as the rude comments go....just delete the buggers lol don't let them ruin it for the ones that support you.
Thank you for sharing and your honesty, so many inflencers have suddenly lost weight, look fantastic, were plus size influencers that refuse to acknowledge there incredible weight loss ! Thank you Caroline 😊
Thank you Caroline, I've been thinking about this both my daughters use it and so far the results are encouraging, share an update if you feel comfortable, good luck on your journey, remember its a marathon not a sprint ❤
Caroline, thank you so much for being so brave about talking about this. Your journey mimics mine to some extent except that I have been big all of my life and nobody could "figure out" why. They said I didn't eat enough to weigh what I did. Turns out that my body produces too much insulin + glucose and, as explained to me, insulin makes you fat. I am diabetic now but under extremely good control and was on Ozempic for 9 years and its predecessor for another 5 and while I live on fewer than 900 calories per day, low carb, my weight never budged. If I threw caution to the wind and splurged on a piece of bread or a potato, the weight went up even more. I never had any of the Ozempic side effects that people harp about but never lost weight either. Fed up with my stubborn weight, I swapped the Ozempic for Mounjaro 2.5 on August 24th (conservative endocrinologist) and while I watched every single thing I ate, I only lost 2 pounds. Dose finally increased to 5 Sept 21st and I have lost 8 pounds over the past 6 weeks. The food noise continues but at least I can see a fast food commercial on tv without going out and jumping in the car to go get some. Like you, I have no side effects so far. I have my appointment with the endo this afternoon and I am praying that she increases my dose. I cannot thank you enough for explaining your journey to those who either might be in our shoes or slim folks who just don't understand and tell us to just eat less.
Hi Caroline Your openness and honesty are just wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing. Really interesting to hear how these drugs work and why you decided to take them. I wish you all the best on your weight loss journey. A follow up in another few weeks would be great although we will probably be able to see how you’re doing from your other videos such as try ons etc, so good luck and take care . Xx
Thank you for sharing Caroline ❤. I’ve also been taking this for 6 months and lost over 3 stone so far. I’ve also struggled with my weight all my adult life. I haven’t been open about using Mounjaro due to negative attitudes from people about ‘taking the easy way out’. I’ve still been putting in a lot of effort into eating healthily and exercising. In time I hope that more people will realise that obesity is a chronic illness requiring medication, rather than some sort of failure in an individual’s willpower.
Hi Caroline, I was in my mid sixties and had a routine blood test and then I got a phone call from my doctor, you have pre diabetes and fatty liver 😮damn!!!! She asked me how much alcohol I had, NONE!! it was all down to food. I did research and went on a Keto diet. 65 lbs later, all my health issues went. It’s a struggle still but worth it. If I tried to lift 65 lbs now I wouldn’t be able to, yet I was carrying that around daily!! And Caroline…..all the new clothes to look forward to 😂😂🎉 yay
I felt like it could have been me talking through that video. Food noise is constant for me too, when I’m eating a meal I’m planning what I can have for pudding! Like you, I rarely eat because I’m hungry, more that the food noise convinces me that I need should have something. I did Slimming World for a number of years and lost several stone but as I’ve gone into my 50’s weight loss has become a lot harder. I hope it works out for you Caroline, the self positivity and confidence that comes from feeling good about yourself is worth every moment of effort you put in.
Thank you SO much for posting this Caroline! My weight loss journey is very similar to you, to the point where I have now given up. However many of my health issues would be so much better if I lost weight - I have been told this by the medical profession many many times! You have given me the confidence to go ahead and look into this more thoroughly now! Thank you! PS would love a follow up!
Hi Caroline, Thank you for making this video, you have made it a lot clearer for me now to make an informed choice. Please keep these videos coming as I’m sure there are a lot of people who want to try it but are worried as they only briefly get to see others, who only have a few minutes to talk about this on their social media platform xx
Well done Caroline, great you felt you could share this video. If you feel you can I for one would love to be able to follow your journey. What an insperation to all of us over weight people. Wishing you all the best❤
Hi Caroline, thank you for sharing something deeply personal. I am 56 and I have joined and sometimes being successful every weight loss club. I also have high blood pressure and my BMI is over 30. I absolutely understand where you’re coming from and your shared lived experiences. it would be lovely if it was something you wanted to do to give us an update. Well done for looking after you X.
Well done Caroline. Losing weight is always hard and I’m on a weight loss journey myself. I really hope this works for you.keep going you’re doing amazing. Xx
Wow Caroline that's awesome. Well done on your loss and thank you for sharing it all with us👏. Been to S/world....lost 5 stone then had planned orthopaedic surgery followed by a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, there goes my weight loss! Have a couple of friends who have used the injections and they got on really well with it. Your talking about this issue seems to have given those contemplating it a real thumbs up and the courage to look into it further. Thanks again 👍
Brilliant. Thanks for this. Great to see a familiar face sharing this information, and clearly not for ‘ clicks ‘ or your own financial gain. Fantastic explanation and very relevant info.
Just watched this video and wanted to say thank you for making it. You are very brave to be so honest and open about this . Well done on your weight loss already and I wish you all the best in this and would be very interested to hear more.Take care and thanks again
Hi Caroline, Well done you , there’s no way you should feel uncomfortable about this. I have lost 24 pounds on a similar medication and I am so pleased. Enjoy the journey xxx
Thank you so much for this, it’s something I have been researching so as one of your followers, I was really pleased to discover you are taking this course of action. I am a bit scared to actually take the plunge myself at the moment. Please do keep us up to date with your progress. I hope it continues to work for you.
Thank you Caroline for doing this. I too have noticed there is no long form content on utube about monjaro in the UK. I have been put on monjaro for my type 2 diabetes. However, thus far my blood sugar has not come down and I haven't lost any weight. I have never had a good appetite but now I often feel sick at the thought of food. I do get severe nausea. I totally agree about feeling in control, I love the sense of freedom I get. With diabetes I have always been controlled by food and having to eat with medication. Now I don't have to worry about that. Please continue with these videos even if it means setting up a paid for group because we all need the support ❤
Caroline I have loved this video. Well done for covering this subject so thourghlyas most overweight women wonder about it. Good luck with your weight loss I would love for you to do update. My cousin used one as did lose three stone-so they must work. I am very tempted. Going to research it now
I am a style 2 Diabetic and have been on Mounjaro about 8 months. I have lost 32 pounds and the food noise is mostly gone. My story is fairly similar to yours but now that I am in my 60s losing weight was impossible. So glad to have something that really works at last but I am a little miffed that I had to wait until I am 67 to find it. So happy you are doing well with it. Love your channel.
I could not love you more Mrs. M, most of us middle aged over weight people have tried it all but cannot face the misery of dieting. You do you babe, no judgement here, and no lies from you ❤
I do hope you don't get negative or nasty comments, as I would like to see more blogs and see your progression, there will be people out there that can't relate to any of this, and that's fine, but there are so many more of us, that were watching and relating with your story, keep going it's inspiring. x
Thanks Caroline for sharing your journey so far, I am interested in how you progress, it is something I have thought about but not acted upon. Love your channel, you are so honest and open and I look forward to your videos every week xxx
Thank you for sharing your mounjaro journey. Really helpful review, i have started mounjaro this week and hopefully i get to experience a positive outcome.
My heart went out to you as you described your weight struggles. Also admire your very level headed approach to trying this out and your honesty. I wish you all the best and success in reaching and maintaining a healthier weight.❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I too am overweight and have developed a few health issues almost the same ones as you. Also like you I have been overweight most of my adult life. I lost a lot of weight with slimming world and kept it off for several years but after a very traumatic time I began to put it back on and I’m now 67 yrs old and find it so hard to lose weight as I’m not as active as I was. I would love you to do a follow up video with your progress and you thought and how you feel whilst taking the drug. U wish you all the best on your weight loss journey x
“ Food noise “ what a perfect description :) I assumed that because I don’t eat through hunger (just through habit or wanting to eat !) that this wouldn’t be an option since my appetite isn’t the issue (my brain is !) but after listening to you I’m wondering if it may be worth speaking to the GP ? I would be interested in further updates if you are happy to do them :)
Good woman for trying to find a solution to your weight loss,it will bring huge health benefits.I’m two stone overweight so I understand.. I feel the criticism in the media about weight loss injections comes from the thin presenters who spout on about eat less and move more! It’s really not that simple. Appreciate your honesty.
I’m a bit late to this! This video is one of the most helpful UA-cam videos I have ever seen. Thank you so much Caroline, I so identify with everything you said. Wishing you every success , thank you again xx
I'm so glad you've talked about this, and you did a great job. My doctor put me on Ozempic because I have diabetes and he said that many people also lost some weight wile taking it. I was so scared to inject myself also, but you're right - no pain and easy peasy! I'll be honest, I have only injected and not done anything about the weight loss (exercise, food modification etc) -- I just decided to try the medication to help the diabetes be more controlled. However, after a few months I did lose some weight (started at .25 mg and am now at 2 mg) and you're right, the food "noise" seemed much less. Nice. I hope you'll get lots of positive feedback and will enjoy anything you tell us in future vids. Many thanks.
Thanks for giving a very clear and concise explanation of this drug, its effects and your results. Previously I just dismissed these drugs, but having listened to you I’m now considering them. Thanks, oh, and great weight loss 👍
Thank you so much for sharing! I have just started in Mounjaro and have been watching a few you tube reviews but found that your review felt honest, genuine and trustworthy, thank you x
Thank you for sharing! So much rings true when you talk about emotional eating and thinking of food. It's certainly me, and it's a tough battle against myself. Well done so far and well done having the courage to try a new approach. I'm looking forward to all the great new opportunities this will bring to you xx
Caroline, that was a really interesting and informative video. Weight loss is a very personal thing and no one has a right to condone you for doing it your way...if it works for you, why wouldn't you use it. Thanks for the honesty and please update us as you go along.
Well done, lots of follow up please. I am on Mounjaro , have been for about 6 weeks, but have had to stop as I have to go in for an operation and the anaesthetist would not carry on until I have been off the injections for over a week. They could not tell me why only saying that they were not sure of side effects. My op is classed as 'urgent' so they must know something may go wrong. I will be back on the injections straight away and look forward to seeing your progress, along with my own xx
So interesting, great weight loss. My weight gain has shot up these last two years due to stress; stuffing down emotions. My blood pressure is up and I’m sure my blood sugar levels are raised. For me this was a very timely video. Thank you.
Can I just say I HUGELY appreciate all the positivity in the comments, and also a big thank you to those who have shared their own stories as well - so much useful information there for everybody who has an interest in this subject.
@@CarolineMrsM Thank you for opening up the subject, for the nausea my daughter says electrolytes tabs from B&M help as well as keeping well hydrated.
@@katieg5138 I find if there’s nausea fluid really helps but electrolytes should be used occasionally as they can cause strain on the kidneys, I didn’t know this but mentioned I was using them daily. As they say every day is a school day. 😊
Well done Caroline ….this is so interesting…you’re honestly as always is so inspiring..xxxx
Thank you Caroline, I found this so interesting and informative. I do hope you post a follow up. You look glowing 💐💐
I'm on wegovy and iv lost nearly 3 stone since June. Would love for you to do updates on how your getting on. Well done on your weight loss ❤ x
This is exactly what I needed !!! PLEASE PLEASE do a monthly honest update like this as we can not find this information as it was excellent !!! I am considering taking this at the moment and want to research everything as realise its a life long commitment which is ok as taking blood pressure meds / thyroid meds is a life long commitment too so that was what was putting me off which now I feel is not a worthy excuse , too plus the expense as you say could easily off set in takeaways / meals out / snacks. I am on thyroid meds and need to find out more about munjaro round these issues first . So well done Caroline please keep us informed monthly xxx
So much respect for you in posting this, Caroline ! I wish you every continued success. I could’ve said everything you’ve said here - ‘food noise’, goodness me but that’s the perfect way to describe it ! I’m 56 and the heaviest that I’ve ever been too. A close friend has been on Mounjaro since the summer, she has had brilliant success with it and reversed many of her longstanding health issues as well as looking great and dropping several dress sizes. She has been gently encouraging me to try it too but I’ve been too scared. Seeing your video has really made me think seriously about trying it out for myself now. Please do us an update if you feel that you can ! Much love to you x
Thank you for sharing this very personal story. Really well done on the weight loss. The video was so informative and handled so sensitively regarding not wanting to talk about where you get the drug from. A really great video and I genuinely applaud your openness. x
Hi Caroline - I'm a 70 year old Type 1 diabetic who has had the disease for 56 years and put weight on continually over the years. I was prescribed Mounjaro by my endocrinologist because it has been shown to help us with reducing the amount of insulin we use and also weight. its been a huge game-changer for me! I went from a size 16 (US) to a size 8 pair of jeans!! I also use about one-third of the amount of insulin I used to use, plus I came off blood pressure meds. I hope you continue your journey with Mounjaro because you will feel so much better and have so much more energy! Kudos to you for taking this step.
Well done, amazing loss!
@@CarolineMrsM I really hope you keep letting us know how you're doing. I think more videos of your experiences will be wonderful to see as the weight comes off. And then you can talk about the surprising NSV's (non-scale victories) you have too!!
That's brilliant Caroline. Well done. My husband has been on the tablet form of this drug for a year now and has lost 25 kg (from 110kg). He has had similar side effects to you but nothing he couldn't put up with and which gradually stopped after the first few months. He's now in maintenance and doing well. One thing that has really helped has been walking. He often does 20k steps a day. Please give us an update every so often.
Wow , your video has really given me a lot of food for thought. Such a lot of what you said I can totally relate to and it has really made me think. Thank you Caroline - a very well put together video - you are sharing your thoughts , experiences etc to help people make their own choices ....... not preaching. Well done. x
Well done Caroline, it’s probably the most positive thing you can do for yourself…My daughter has been on Mounjaro and has just finished the 7.5.. she’s looking and feeling great and like you, says the disappearance of food noise is just incredible and wonders if this mindset is how naturally slim people feel…please do a monthly update xx
Hope your daughter is getting good results, too, Katie x
@ She’s lost 26 lbs so far and her goal is 31/2 stone..think the menopause years are hard on women, everything slows down! (Though hrt helps)
Hello Caroline I'm 68 yrs old had high blood pressure high colestrol etc etc and decided to go on wagovy and it's changed my life! My doctor was shocked when he took my BP and checked my colestrol as it was normal for first time in years I lost 3 stone but I've gone from size 28 to size 16/18 my weight hasn't moved much now but I'm still loosing in inches I bought this myself as my doctor said go to slimming class lol My friends can't believe the change in me and other day I gave 60 pieces of clothing to charity as too big. It's given me a new lease of life. I'm so happy to see your video and keep going Love your video never post but had to say Well done and ignore any neg comments it's your life! Look forward to see how you do hugs Catherine oap lol xx❤
Fabulous story, so glad it's worked so well for you, thanks for sharing x
How inspiring! I am 67 and have battle weight all my life.
Nobody understands that ‘you just like to eat’ story unless you have been there yourself. So happy it’s working for you. I am 76 so know the weight story well.
@@CarolineMrsM thank you I just wanted you to know it works! 💕 Look forward to see how you manage You won't regret it xx
Very inspiring , I’m 62 with similar issues. I’m going to look into this.
Thank you so much for sharing. The “ food noise” is something that will resonate with many of us. Well done on making a very positive health choice. xx
Can’t thank you enough for this Caroline. I’m of a similar age and I too have struggled for most of my adult life. Slimming clubs didn’t help me. I’ve been considering doing Mounjaro also ❤
Well done Caroline! I have been on wegovy for a few months and although I am a slow user have lost 2 1/2 stone and am the lightest I have been for 8 years would you believe! I think these drugs definitely have their place and I am delighted with the results so far! Take care.
Well done, amazing!
Was so happy to see this video Caroline .I am in my second week of Mounjaro and have it for my diabetes as my blood sugar levels were difficult to control with tablets.Already my sugar levels are reading normal and I have lost a lot 7 pounds.I needed to lol.I'm also hoping that losing weight will help with my back pain (arthritis and deteriorated discs).My side effects have been nausea and indigestion.My appetite also went straight away and I feel full after very little food.My food choices have to be quite plain and low fat or I get stomach pain and diarrhea.I am staying on 2.5 at the moment as it is working for me.Thank you again for being brave enough to post this it was great to hear the experiences of an honest reviewer.I have followed you for a while now.I wish you every success on your Mounjaro journey.xx
Hi Caroline I'm currently doing a weight loss app and am interested to find out how your journey with mounjaro goes along on a monthly basis Im presently needing to loose a couple of stones and have been wondering about these weight loss injections thanks for doing this vlog
How fascinating. I really hadn’t given this serious thought before. I imagine that all your reasons for taking it are shared by a lot of us out here. I wish you all the very best with it. Thank you for sharing.
Side note, I know it’s all about health but don’t forget you’re super gorgeous, super interesting and have a very kind heart regardless of what you weigh ❤
Hi Caroline, thank you for making this video. I'm 62 and I have this same story as you more or less . It is very hard to lose weight as I got older . I started mounjaro in September. I'm so glad you're not having side effects as mine are quite bad . I have lost 19lb . I'm over the moon with that . So dispite the terrible side effect I have kept taking it. I did go up but then back down to the 2.5 mg . I would love update videos please x
I knew something was up. Your jawline and your lift in mood. Your comment on food noise.....what a great description. Living it.....sorry to admit.
Am so glad Caroline that you posted this video, I am 56, in exactly the same position, food obsessed, weight gain - worse since the lock downs, cannot shift it due to physical limitations, I would love you to update every now and then, I wish you luck on your journey 😊xx
Thank you Caroline for sharing so much personal information in such a frank and realistic way. Those of us who are also middle aged or slightly older, overweight, and not succeeding on the recognised weight loss programmes will identify with so much of what you have said here. I am so interested to hear about your Mounjaro journey because I'm considering it also, and I would love to hear how you get on as the weeks roll by. Like many, I guess, I'm deterred by the reports of side-effects. Please do more and ignore any unpleasant comments that you might receive. ❤
You are such an inspiration......listening to you talk about your weight and struggles with losing weight is like I am listening to myself thinking! I do hope you continue with another follow-up. I started Weight Watchers in April of this year and have been pleased with myself for losing 30 pounds but it is so and up and down and I seem to have hit a plateau - which I know is common. The information you shared has definitely helped me with my thoughts on trying the shots. Bless you!
Hi Caroline I've just stumbled across your channel and was delighted to find a UK person of a certain age sharing their journey. I've just taken my 4th dose and have lost 11lbs 😊 Good luck on your journey, kind regards Dawn
Well done to you, Dawn, that’s a great loss - lovely to ‘meet’ you!
Well done, Ms Caroline!
I was diagnosed with Diabetes 2 in May weighing too much. Ozempic helped me lose 40+ pounds in 4 months. The food noise stopped, the weight fell off. I changed my diet dramatically and eat tons of veggies, lean protein, and drink a lot of water. Half of my plate is always veggies, 1/4 is protein, 1/4 is a complex carb. No sweets, no caffeine, my treat of choice is a small serving of fruit twice a day.
It’s a journey! Good luck, Sweet Lady!
Good on you Caroline! If you receive any negativity, ignore it - you do what you feel is right for you. What you said about control makes such sense to me - I lost a lot of weight with LighterLife, and the sense of control over everything, not just food, was mind boggling. I felt confident and able to achieve anything. You go for it, I’d love to know how you get on! 👍
Caroline thank you for sharing. I started on mounjaro this week due to health issues I have, I was really worried about the side effects but luckily haven’t experienced any yet, the food noise stops and so does the wanting alcohol which has been game changing. I too struggled to find someone in the uk talking about it and could only find lady mawa who has some good advice and tips. I really do hope you keep us updated. I think you are incredibly brave, I’ve only told two people as I’m very worried about the comments I may get.
I haven't even told my best friend or my brother. My brother does watch my videos occasionally though, so will possibly know now!
Don’t worry about what others say!! Do what’s right for you, it’s none of their business!! A lot of people have low self esteem and need to put people down to make themselves feel better. It’s very sad really. Good for you looking after number 1 😘👍
Hi Caroline, I just want to say I’ve been on Mounjaro since mid June and to date have lost 51lb, I found it got rid of my food noise and has really been a useful tool. Now I’ll watch this video.😊😊
That's incredible. Well done you!! 🤍 That's amazing you found something that really works for you xxx
I really want to go on it but I’ve heard that when you come off it the weight goes back on and “food noise” gets lounder
Fabulous!
Well done, that's amazing!!
@@gigilou thank you, believe me as a woman in my 60’s and really fat since childhood I’ve tried everything, so to find myself actually losing weight and not feeling deprived is a welcome change, obviously everyone will react differently to this drug, for me though my gp felt I was at such a risk of heart attack,stroke etc that despite possible side effects of the drug it was definitely worth the risk.
Hi Caroline, I could not have been happier to have seen your vidio this morning, I too are in thr process of researching this way of weight loss for the very same reasons.
I must say I enjoy your videos immensely and always seem to brighten my day. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you Caroline. Anybody who has been overweight will know how debilitating it can be. Listening to you just now I heard so much of what I have experienced. Keep going and do what you know is right for you.
It’s an amazing loss, Caroline, good luck for the months ahead
Hi Caroline - I have tried like you to lose weight for years but since starting Wegovy I’ve lost 22lbs and feel great. Shopping for clothes is now a pleasure. Well done you I wish you every success.
OMG Caroline, I am so proud of you for being brave enough to put out a weight loss vlog. There are some really horrible people out there somewhere, that don't hold back on their opinion. So poo to them !! I am so pleased for you, this sounds like it could be just the thing you needed. I am behind you 100% and hope that this works a charm. I was at my Doctors Yesterday and we were talking about Ozempic, I was on it last year, but then it was too hard to get it at the chemist, so we agreed to give it a rest. However I have put on so much more weight and my health is now suffering so it looks like I will be going back on it soon. You will be a New Woman when you get to New York. Have a wonderful week and stay safe. ❤🦘❤
Well done Caroline I’m sure there will be a lot of people very interested in your journey
I'm about to start using this as I have type 2 diabetes I'm so glad u posted about this please post more I'm excited for good results hopefully x
What a brave lady you are to do this vlog on such a sensitive and private issue and to run the gauntlet of possible ugly negative insensitive comment ( which I dearly hope are on the few side). Well done on the weight loss and an immense thank you for sharing all the information which by reading the comments so far have definitely helped so many ❤ Rosey
Caroline, I think you are very brave sharing this with us all, it’s something I’m sure a lot of us are interested in. You are doing so well , just keep going and PLEASE do follow ups on this. I just hope you don’t get any negative comments, you certainly don’t deserve any. Well done you .💖
Good morning Caroline, I know the struggle to lose weight and fighting the “food noise” is the hardest. Good for you I say, you do what’s right for you. If you want to share I’m sure it would help others but you are the priority do what’s right for you. All best wishes to you. I look forward to seeing an even more gorgeous version of you. ❤
Omg Caroline this could not have come at a better time I’m starting mine this Sunday! I’ve been watching Lady Mawa (on UA-cam) lovely lady from Yorkshire so have a look at her channel as her results are amazing!
I too have struggled with my weight and since my illness ME/Cfs been getting worse plus peri menopause my weight has piled on and now starting to affect my health negatively so I thought enough is enough and taken the plunge. Good luck to you too and I look forward to great results xx
I second the recommendation to watch Lady Mawa, very inspirational.
This video has come at a great time as I am considering taking Mounjaro myself. Like many others , I have struggled with my weight for all my life (including my childhood when I was on meal replacements/ "slimming biscuits" at junior school!) . I've tried many different weight loss methods and had some significant success with LighterLife 20 years ago, but over the years, the 6 stone I lost has nearly all returned and I was feeling helpless , now suffering from hip arthritis and facing possible hip replacement surgery that I'm desperate to avoid. So Mounjaro seemed to be a new possible solution and seeing your video has given me the impetus to go ahead with it. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Hi Caroline. I’m T2 diabetic and been on Mounjaro for this since May 2024. Lost 44lbs and normalised blood sugar. I don’t know what people who buy this will do when they come off it as the food noise and weight comes back on with a vengeance I’ve heard. I’m on this for life and I guess fortunate that I get this on the NHS but I worry for people who can’t sustain the cost forever. It’s been a wonderful tool for me who’s been overweight since childhood but I know I’d be back at square one without it.
Hello Caroline, I have watched your videos for a long time and really appreciate you sharing your personal journey. Your weight loss is amazing. I will always watch your content and wish you health and happiness x
Thank you so much for posting this video, I’m so glad I came across it. I’m the same age as you and started my mounjaro journey 3.5 weeks ago and have just ordered my 5mg dose. I’ve (touch wood) not had too many side effects and after my 3 week weigh in lost 12lb. I’m feeling great and positive. Please keep us updated on your progress. 😊
Thank you Caroline for your honesty. Weight loss is such a personal subject, I can feel your reluctance to discuss it on your channel.I am sure you will have helped many people who might be thinking of going down this weight loss path. If taking this drug makes you feel better about yourself, reduces your BMI and has several positive health effects, why not give it a try? Perhaps a Q&A after 3 months might be useful. Thank you so much.
Hi Caroline, its Betty , I have been intouch with you in the past..and i have always loved your channel. I just want to thank you and encourage you on your Mounjaro journey. I started mine in the beginning of September this year..have lost 20 pounds so far. 1st month 2.5, 2nd month 5 and just started 7.5 on Wednesday past. I agree 💯 with you it's life changing and for me so many other health benefits. I do hope you do a follow up and I hope and pray those naysayers leave you alone and dont deter you in any way. Well done on yiur wonderful weightloss so far and well done for sharing. I for one am tremendously grateful and encouraged. Much love and prayers and blessings Betty x
Hi Betty, nice to hear from you, I remember your messages :) Hope you are well, and congrats on the weight loss.
Appreciate you sharing this information Caroline. I am 68 and have a very similar story to you. I am definitely going to look into this . Thankyou so much for your honesty.
Thank you for this Caroline. It’s not something I have considered recently, but am experiencing similar health problems to yourself, plus difficulty regulating my blood sugar levels, so this may be an answer. Hope it keeps working satisfactorily for you.
I wish I could articulate my emotions as eloquently as you, Caroline. The concept of "food noise" that you mentioned resonated with me, as I've experienced it for years, and your words helped me realize that I'm not alone. Two years ago, I successfully lost nearly 7 stone with Slimming World and have maintained my target weight. However, the "food noise" persists, and it's a daily struggle to stay on course. I wholeheartedly wish you the best on your journey, Caroline. We must each find what works for us to maintain our health. Your honesty is truly appreciated.
This podcast reinforces why i enjoy your podcasts so much. You keep it real and honest. I wish you every good wish, not just in your weight loss journey, but in everything you. Thank you for the the time and effort this must take and the information you share.
I agree and couldn’t have put it better❤
Hi Caroline, thanks so much for making this video. I have struggled with my weight for years and at 55 it has started to have a detrimental impact on my health. I too have tried diets and diet clubs with very little success. Weight loss drugs have crossed my mind but sounded a bit scary, it is really helpful to learn about someone else's experience with them. l will certainly be doing some research now and want to wish you every success with your weight loss journey x
Thank you so much for recording this vlog. I have been interested in the weight loss drug since first reading about it and it wasn’t well known. I asked my Doctors who said they were not prescribing it and recommended diet and exercise. I have bad arthritis and currently undergoing tests for diabetes. I really wanted a safe way of purchasing and this helps immensely. I am over 40 BMI and have tried everything. I don’t drive or leave the house unless I have a lift. I’m not sure of taking it for life but I really want to try it. Thank you for your advice and the experience of your first month Caroline 👌🏼💗
Thank you for making this video...I have ozempic in my fridge for a month and am scared to start using it . After watching you I've decided to start next Monday. I will have my fingers crossed for success for both of us!
Best of luck, wishing you every success with it :)
Oh Caroline am so pleased you are trying it . Am 55 done all the diets of course 🙈 I’ve loved being on this drug and lost 30ibs got 10ib to go it’s changed my life . I agree the metal food noise has been amazing. You sound like me a good responser I’ve stayed on 2.5 for 3 months and just gone up to 5mg I don’t plan on going up . I’ve had hardy any side affects. Just keep going it works ❤️❤️
Thank you Caroline, this is very interesting, any more info/updates would be appreciated, hope that you continue to benefit from it ❤
Thank you so much for doing this video. Would love to hear more about your journey. Only the constipation worries me as I’ve got that problem to start with. Please don’t let trolls put you off telling your story. It’s fascinating hearing the truth from someone I trust on such an important issue.
Fiber gummies, flax seed, chia seeds and fresh fiber filled fruits and veggies seem to help me. I make overnight oats with added berries and chia seeds everyday for breakfast. Hope this helps…good luck!
Thank you so much Caroline for this video it’s come at just the right time for me. I totally trust you and respect your decision, l am now looking into going on Mounjaro myself. My weight has consistently gone up year upon year and l am now the heaviest I’ve even been. The cost is a factor for me but l believe the health benefits will be more than worth it. I have high BP, knee and back pain which l am sure are exacerbated by my excess weight. I’ll be very interested to have updates of how you’re getting on. Thank you for sharing and inspiring ❤️ xxxxxx
What a great post, so interesting and informative. I hope you do continue to update us because I’m sure there are plenty of your followers, me included, who have been considering weight loss medication but don’t know where to start or even if it works. You also hear so many horror stories that it’s quite scary. I wish you every success and look forward to your next update - hopefully.
I love your candid approach Caroline. Well done, what an amazing weight loss! I would really like to follow your journey. You've got this! xx
Caroline, great video and I appreciate your openness. I would love to hear how you progress on with is. As far as the rude comments go....just delete the buggers lol don't let them ruin it for the ones that support you.
Thank you for sharing and your honesty, so many inflencers have suddenly lost weight, look fantastic, were plus size influencers that refuse to acknowledge there incredible weight loss ! Thank you Caroline 😊
Thank you Caroline, I've been thinking about this both my daughters use it and so far the results are encouraging, share an update if you feel comfortable, good luck on your journey, remember its a marathon not a sprint ❤
Caroline, thank you so much for being so brave about talking about this. Your journey mimics mine to some extent except that I have been big all of my life and nobody could "figure out" why. They said I didn't eat enough to weigh what I did. Turns out that my body produces too much insulin + glucose and, as explained to me, insulin makes you fat. I am diabetic now but under extremely good control and was on Ozempic for 9 years and its predecessor for another 5 and while I live on fewer than 900 calories per day, low carb, my weight never budged. If I threw caution to the wind and splurged on a piece of bread or a potato, the weight went up even more. I never had any of the Ozempic side effects that people harp about but never lost weight either. Fed up with my stubborn weight, I swapped the Ozempic for Mounjaro 2.5 on August 24th (conservative endocrinologist) and while I watched every single thing I ate, I only lost 2 pounds. Dose finally increased to 5 Sept 21st and I have lost 8 pounds over the past 6 weeks. The food noise continues but at least I can see a fast food commercial on tv without going out and jumping in the car to go get some. Like you, I have no side effects so far. I have my appointment with the endo this afternoon and I am praying that she increases my dose. I cannot thank you enough for explaining your journey to those who either might be in our shoes or slim folks who just don't understand and tell us to just eat less.
Well done, really hope the weight loss continues well for you 😊
Hi Caroline
Your openness and honesty are just wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing. Really interesting to hear how these drugs work and why you decided to take them. I wish you all the best on your weight loss journey. A follow up in another few weeks would be great although we will probably be able to see how you’re doing from your other videos such as try ons etc, so good luck and take care . Xx
Carolyn I think you’re Incredibly Brave to come out and admit that you need help in losing weight. You Go Girl!!! Love you, Vicki
Thank you for sharing Caroline ❤. I’ve also been taking this for 6 months and lost over 3 stone so far. I’ve also struggled with my weight all my adult life. I haven’t been open about using Mounjaro due to negative attitudes from people about ‘taking the easy way out’. I’ve still been putting in a lot of effort into eating healthily and exercising. In time I hope that more people will realise that obesity is a chronic illness requiring medication, rather than some sort of failure in an individual’s willpower.
I so agree with you!
Well done, amazing results!!
❤
Hi Caroline, I was in my mid sixties and had a routine blood test and then I got a phone call from my doctor, you have pre diabetes and fatty liver 😮damn!!!! She asked me how much alcohol I had, NONE!! it was all down to food. I did research and went on a Keto diet. 65 lbs later, all my health issues went. It’s a struggle still but worth it. If I tried to lift 65 lbs now I wouldn’t be able to, yet I was carrying that around daily!! And Caroline…..all the new clothes to look forward to 😂😂🎉 yay
@@yvonnegillman5095 Well done, amazing weight loss!
Thank you for making this video.. so informative and helpful. Please do keep us updated. Would love to follow your journey! Good luck for month 2 xx
I felt like it could have been me talking through that video. Food noise is constant for me too, when I’m eating a meal I’m planning what I can have for pudding! Like you, I rarely eat because I’m hungry, more that the food noise convinces me that I need should have something. I did Slimming World for a number of years and lost several stone but as I’ve gone into my 50’s weight loss has become a lot harder. I hope it works out for you Caroline, the self positivity and confidence that comes from feeling good about yourself is worth every moment of effort you put in.
I think whatever helps you is a good thing. I’d be interested in future updates. Well done on your weight loss, Caroline.
Thank you SO much for posting this Caroline! My weight loss journey is very similar to you, to the point where I have now given up. However many of my health issues would be so much better if I lost weight - I have been told this by the medical profession many many times! You have given me the confidence to go ahead and look into this more thoroughly now! Thank you! PS would love a follow up!
Hi Caroline,
Thank you for making this video, you have made it a lot clearer for me now to make an informed choice.
Please keep these videos coming as I’m sure there are a lot of people who want to try it but are worried as they only briefly get to see others, who only have a few minutes to talk about this on their social media platform xx
Well done Caroline, great you felt you could share this video. If you feel you can I for one would love to be able to follow your journey. What an insperation to all of us over weight people. Wishing you all the best❤
You’ve inspired me to order my first dose, Caroline. Please post more about it 😊
Hi Caroline, thank you for sharing something deeply personal. I am 56 and I have joined and sometimes being successful every weight loss club. I also have high blood pressure and my BMI is over 30. I absolutely understand where you’re coming from and your shared lived experiences. it would be lovely if it was something you wanted to do to give us an update. Well done for looking after you X.
Well done Caroline. Losing weight is always hard and I’m on a weight loss journey myself. I really hope this works for you.keep going you’re doing amazing. Xx
Wow Caroline that's awesome. Well done on your loss and thank you for sharing it all with us👏. Been to S/world....lost 5 stone then had planned orthopaedic surgery followed by a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, there goes my weight loss! Have a couple of friends who have used the injections and they got on really well with it. Your talking about this issue seems to have given those contemplating it a real thumbs up and the courage to look into it further. Thanks again 👍
Brilliant. Thanks for this. Great to see a familiar face sharing this information, and clearly not for ‘ clicks ‘ or your own financial gain. Fantastic explanation and very relevant info.
Amazing well done I started in September have lost a stone and a half but have saved on snacks and eating out .. good luck on ur journey caroline
Just watched this video and wanted to say thank you for making it. You are very brave to be so honest and open about this . Well done on your weight loss already and I wish you all the best in this and would be very interested to hear more.Take care and thanks again
Hi Caroline, Well done you , there’s no way you should feel uncomfortable about this. I have lost 24 pounds on a similar medication and I am so pleased. Enjoy the journey xxx
Thank you so much for this, it’s something I have been researching so as one of your followers, I was really pleased to discover you are taking this course of action. I am a bit scared to actually take the plunge myself at the moment. Please do keep us up to date with your progress. I hope it continues to work for you.
Thank you Caroline for doing this. I too have noticed there is no long form content on utube about monjaro in the UK. I have been put on monjaro for my type 2 diabetes. However, thus far my blood sugar has not come down and I haven't lost any weight. I have never had a good appetite but now I often feel sick at the thought of food. I do get severe nausea. I totally agree about feeling in control, I love the sense of freedom I get. With diabetes I have always been controlled by food and having to eat with medication. Now I don't have to worry about that.
Please continue with these videos even if it means setting up a paid for group because we all need the support ❤
Caroline I have loved this video. Well done for covering this subject so thourghlyas most overweight women wonder about it. Good luck with your weight loss I would love for you to do update. My cousin used one as did lose three stone-so they must work. I am very tempted. Going to research it now
I am a style 2 Diabetic and have been on Mounjaro about 8 months. I have lost 32 pounds and the food noise is mostly gone. My story is fairly similar to yours but now that I am in my 60s losing weight was impossible. So glad to have something that really works at last but I am a little miffed that I had to wait until I am 67 to find it. So happy you are doing well with it. Love your channel.
Type 2 not Style 2. Sheesh!
I could not love you more Mrs. M, most of us middle aged over weight people have tried it all but cannot face the misery of dieting. You do you babe, no judgement here, and no lies from you ❤
Aww, thank you :)
I do hope you don't get negative or nasty comments, as I would like to see more blogs and see your progression, there will be people out there that can't relate to any of this, and that's fine, but there are so many more of us, that were watching and relating with your story, keep going it's inspiring. x
Thanks Caroline for sharing your journey so far, I am interested in how you progress, it is something I have thought about but not acted upon. Love your channel, you are so honest and open and I look forward to your videos every week xxx
Thank you for sharing your mounjaro journey. Really helpful review, i have started mounjaro this week and hopefully i get to experience a positive outcome.
My heart went out to you as you described your weight struggles. Also admire your very level headed approach to trying this out and your honesty.
I wish you all the best and success in reaching and maintaining a healthier weight.❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I too am overweight and have developed a few health issues almost the same ones as you. Also like you I have been overweight most of my adult life. I lost a lot of weight with slimming world and kept it off for several years but after a very traumatic time I began to put it back on and I’m now 67 yrs old and find it so hard to lose weight as I’m not as active as I was. I would love you to do a follow up video with your progress and you thought and how you feel whilst taking the drug. U wish you all the best on your weight loss journey x
Thank you for this video. Everything you said resonated with me. Please do an update and congratulations on your weight loss.
“ Food noise “ what a perfect description :) I assumed that because I don’t eat through hunger (just through habit or wanting to eat !) that this wouldn’t be an option since my appetite isn’t the issue (my brain is !) but after listening to you I’m wondering if it may be worth speaking to the GP ? I would be interested in further updates if you are happy to do them :)
Good woman for trying to find a solution to your weight loss,it will bring huge health benefits.I’m two stone overweight so I understand.. I feel the criticism in the media about weight loss injections comes from the thin presenters who spout on about eat less and move more! It’s really not that simple. Appreciate your honesty.
Your positivity is shining through. I am going to watch your progress with great interest and I am cheering you on ❤
Well done Caroline. Youre helping lots of people.
I’m a bit late to this! This video is one of the most helpful UA-cam videos I have ever seen. Thank you so much Caroline, I so identify with everything you said. Wishing you every success , thank you again xx
I'm so glad you've talked about this, and you did a great job. My doctor put me on Ozempic because I have diabetes and he said that many people also lost some weight wile taking it. I was so scared to inject myself also, but you're right - no pain and easy peasy! I'll be honest, I have only injected and not done anything about the weight loss (exercise, food modification etc) -- I just decided to try the medication to help the diabetes be more controlled. However, after a few months I did lose some weight (started at .25 mg and am now at 2 mg) and you're right, the food "noise" seemed much less. Nice. I hope you'll get lots of positive feedback and will enjoy anything you tell us in future vids. Many thanks.
Thanks for giving a very clear and concise explanation of this drug, its effects and your results. Previously I just dismissed these drugs, but having listened to you I’m now considering them. Thanks, oh, and great weight loss 👍
Thank you so much for sharing! I have just started in Mounjaro and have been watching a few you tube reviews but found that your review felt honest, genuine and trustworthy, thank you x
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much Caroline, very helpful. I identify very much with that talk of food noise. Please do update us after another month.
Well done hen and thank you for sharing it can only be a positive thing to lose weight and be healthy surely. I will look forward to your updates 🎉😊
Thank you for sharing! So much rings true when you talk about emotional eating and thinking of food. It's certainly me, and it's a tough battle against myself. Well done so far and well done having the courage to try a new approach. I'm looking forward to all the great new opportunities this will bring to you xx
Caroline, that was a really interesting and informative video. Weight loss is a very personal thing and no one has a right to condone you for doing it your way...if it works for you, why wouldn't you use it.
Thanks for the honesty and please update us as you go along.
Well done, lots of follow up please. I am on Mounjaro , have been for about 6 weeks, but have had to stop as I have to go in for an operation and the anaesthetist would not carry on until I have been off the injections for over a week. They could not tell me why only saying that they were not sure of side effects. My op is classed as 'urgent' so they must know something may go wrong. I will be back on the injections straight away and look forward to seeing your progress, along with my own xx
So interesting, great weight loss. My weight gain has shot up these last two years due to stress; stuffing down emotions. My blood pressure is up and I’m sure my blood sugar levels are raised. For me this was a very timely video. Thank you.
I can relate to using food to silence emotions so much. So much.
