Good luck on your mounjaro journey. God bless
Did you find your rings sis?
Hi Lauren. I'm 330 lbs. I'm also diabetic and the doctor just prescribed mounjaro for me for both diabetes and weight loss. I let my prescription sit at the pharmacy afraid to pick it up. Seeing this video has convinced me to start it. Thank you for sharing with us.
You don't have to EVER feel like you have to answer to anyone for your weight. This is your journey. We will be here to encourage you and cheer for you. No one has any right to shame you!
Well Roby you took the words right out of my mouth. You’re in my prayers and thoughts Lauren you’ve got this!!!!
Love ❤ you
I was thinking the same thing!!!!! This is your journey. Take it day by day, feel the ups and the downs. People will encourage you, don’t let negativity get to you.
Mounjaro is the best thing I’ve ever done. It’s amazing how it shuts up all the thoughts of food and cravings. Been on it 3 months and lost 40lbs.
does your insurance cover it?
@@BrianAndEyadI believe healthcare has changed its restrictions on weight loss meds. To prevent diabetes and ALL it’s complications. I am on med assistance and it covers my Wegovy.
I am so proud of you! Old Lauren would have worked herself up into a panic. New Lauren took a few breaths to recenter herself and conquered the thing that scared her. I’ve been since the first window vlog, I am looking forward to following this new journey towards wellness. Ignore the haters and just remember you have a whole crew of cheerleaders that want to see you live your best life, whatever that looks like.
I also have PCOS and insulin resistance, so I’m with you girl. Just took my fourth mounjaro shot today. It has made me not crave food all the time and I’ve lost a good amount of weight my first month. Super excited for what’s next. Love you friend! ❤
Three years ago this month I dropped my daughter off at school, said what the hell am I doing and went to the park and walked 4 laps.... Today I am down 90 pounds and at a healthy weight.... I found that walking, intermittent fasting, low carb works for me... Never felt better!
I take ozempic for type2 diabetes and weight loss it dose make you a little nauseous
Me too. Walking and low carb. Finally got my period back after years
Lauren you are sooo brave! To start a weight loss journey in front of everyone to help other people is very very brave
I've been Ozempic for 8 months ( I am a diabetic ) and my starting weight was 306 and now I'm down to 276 . The weight is coming off slowly but at least it is coming off. Good luck on your weight loss journey, remember you got this. Much love from West Virginia ❤.
Hey lady I have been taking MJ since August 6 I took 2.5 3 months been on 5 mg for November I’m down 38.4 pounds since August for a total loss of 76.8 pounds since January 13. I have about 22 pounds left to lose. MJ has been such an awesome and amazing tool to have. I was stalled on WW for 1 1/2 months my PCP prescribed MJ and I feel amazing. It’s exactly what I needed ♥️♥️♥️ Keep me posted and updated 🥰
Yes my sister is doing great on that medication. She also backed out on bypass surgery and opted to try the mounjaro first and Im glad she did. She encouraged the whole family on a healthier lifestyle. You will do great good luck!
I’m SO glad she opted out and found something to help her live her best life!
Healthy lifestyle is the biggest change that will benefit people.
I’m SO proud of you!!! You are a total rockstar!❤ you are doing what so many of of us want to do!! Thank you for being brave and taking the first step!!
I am sooo proud of you! Seriously! I think it’s so nice of you that you share what you are doing! I hope it will help you! The fact that you share your „ real live „, is what people like me love about you. And also, you don’t have the need to force your daughter in front of the camera, just so you can grow your channel. But at the same time, you still let her decide if and when she likes to make her seen. I really like you and John and the kids! Way to go! God bless you!
Lauren both my husband are on the second one you mentioned. my husband for type 2 diabetes and my daughter for weight loss. These are amazing new drugs they work extremely well. The side effects go away don't lose hope. Not only has my husband lost weight (which he needed to lose) but his blood sugar numbers are amazing. My daughter who had 6 pregnancies 3 of those were lost then had twins. Her body and her mind went to hell and back. She gained so much weight that I hardly recognized her. She has lost lots and still has more to go. Good luck
I’m trying to get mounjaro also. Insurance is denying ever medication. I have PCOS also. I weigh the most I ever have. I appreciate your openness and rawness. These are the videos I look for as a fellow pcos big girl. Thank you!
Proud of you sharing such personal information. You’re doing great!
My brother is doing something very similar (or maybe it’s the same medication) and it has been very helpful to him. He is classified obese (6’4” and about 375ish pounds). He has been taking the medication for about a month now and has lost about 25 lbs. no side effects other then lack of appetite. Lots of water and definitely protein is helpful. Wishing you the very best and I will definitely be here to support you and your family! 🥰😘
Love this for you!! Remember weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint, a lifestyle change not a quick fix. U got this Lauren!!! Just in case you didn’t know, it’s not a good idea to put the used pen in the regular bin, get a sharps container &/or take the used pens back to ur pharmacy. Not good stuff for landfill.❤
Bless you. Your courage and openness is inspiring. I have had WLS (w/ 60% regain). Have struggled with and been ashamed of my physical size/weight for most of my life.
I love watching your blogs. Your authenticity is palpable.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That is the most amazing compliment ever ❤️❤️❤️
I got approved for VSG in July then failed the psych eval a month later lol I've been pretty discouraged. Cue the "FINE, I'LL DO IT MYSELF" Tiktok sound. I have PCOS and insulin resistance and no willpower. Great combo. My doc brought up these injections last month. Can't wait to see you on it! Love that you're not giving numbers power anymore. It's helpful for us to relate when we see tangible progress.
I literally didn’t get life insurance recently because of my weight. I didn’t want to say it to the insurance broker.
That’s when I realized I HAD to make a change. I’m not sure how much I’m down but clothes are starting to fit.
You got this! I took weightloss meds and I was totally fine. I actually got pregnant 😂💗
Omg same with the life insurance thing😢
@@thebrownbrood7238 we got this 💗🫶🏼
Good on you for taking control. I am on Ozempic and have been for about 18mths. I find I do feel nausious like morning sickness. I find that food is not a priority in my life. I don't worry that I have missed a meal. But doesn't really interest me. Hang in there it will get better and you don't feel nausious. I feel it is a chemical imbalance is why we keep seeking food even though you are not hungry. There is a shortage of Ozempic in Australia at the moment and is very hard to get.
Omg I’m so proud of you Lauren, I just had a baby boy 4 months ago and I’m at 337lbs. I’m desperately wanting to get my weight back down to 250lbs but it is hard so I’m right in the boat with you girl. I’m so hoping this medication shows great results for you because if so I’m definitely in 👍🏼
thank you for sharing Lauren. You are not alone and it’s SO refreshing to have someone on social media admit they are not perfect! Cannot wait to see how Mounjaro works for you! Fingers crossed !!
Hey! I'm on mounjaro myself it's been 6 weeks so far. I'm suppose to be moving to the 7.5 for my next dose. I've lost almost 16lbs so far. I haven't been having the dramatic weight lose like you read about, but I'm happy to be losing at all as a food addict.
Mounjaro is amazing.. not only does it help with appetite suppression.. it makes you stop think about food/bingeing. I’ve yet to have nausea and I’ve been on it for months.. but I will say sulfur burps are a common side effect.. they’re the worst but if you take a quick swig of pepto bismal they go right away. When giving yourself the injection jusy listen for the second click .. that’s the needle retracting no need to hold it after that… good luck! It really is life changing
Girl the things you say Crack me up!!!
I appreciate your honesty and you sharing this. I am the same size and I am the plus size friend in all my friendships so it's so nice to have your channel and to connect with someone who feels and goes through the same struggles. I can't wait to see your journey on this!
I hope it works for you. But my only issue with people using diabetic meds for weight loss is that it can cause a shortage and diabetics may have trouble getting a constant supply which is a real issue cause you need to stay on the same med. I am type 2 diabetic insulin dependent. Went on keto and lost 120lb for 4 years but as life goes put alot of it back on last year. I actually got off insulin but recently had an episode of diabetic ketoacidosis which landed me in ER. I can no longer take my oral meds so am back on insulin which causes abdominal weight gain. I want to go onto Ozempic but am worried that I won't be able get a constant supply because of people getting it for weight loss. Anyway as I said I hope it works for you. But just thought I'd highlight this knock on effect. PS From my understanding of how the drug works it's weight loss effect comes from 3 factors 1. Initial adaption phase where nausea and dioreah means your caloric intake is less. 2. Slow down of digestion of food 3. Normalised blood sugars. I think food will only sound unappealing for a time until you adjust to the side effects of the drug.
Exactly. This is why people who aren't pre diabetic/ diabetic really shouldn't be using it because it's taking away from people who truly need it!
This is exactly the same scenario my wife ran into. She’s T2D and has been on Ozempic for two years and now cannot get it due to a nationwide shortage because doctors are prescribing it for obesity. She had to switch to Mounjaro recently and now has to start all over with the side effects. There should be separate stock for those who need it as a diabetic and those who want it for weight loss.
Your weight is your business. People can be so mean don’t set yourself up for un-necessary criticism. You know you’re your own worst enemy. Stick with positive people. I ❤ love watching your journey and support your success’s and your failures no judgments ❤ you rock girl
I just want to say you go girl! You have been through so much and thank you for speaking up for those of us that just can’t “exercise and eat healthy” and lose all the weight 😊
You are such an inspiration not only to myself but to a lot of other people. I love your positivity. Thank you for your kindness
I'm going to talk to my doctor about this and see if I can get on it too. I'm diabetic and about 300lbs. Hope it works for you! Thanks for sharing
I don't own a scale. I just go by how my clothes fit. I have a pretty good idea of what my weight is without getting on a scale. I Hate scale's with a passion. My heaviest i was 230 and man my back felt every bit of it. I stay at about 210-215. Id love to be 175, that'y comfy weight for me. Haven't seen 175 in a good 15yrs. Good Luck Girly on your Journey, I'm rooting for ya.💜
💕Lauren, wishing you well on your weight loss journey please remember that you are beautiful no matter what! Love ya girl 🫶🏻
So proud of you Lauren, regardless of how this journey goes, you are incredible and the effort you are putting in to being the healthiest version of yourself for your kiddos is wonderful! Best wishes to you frand!
I just wanted to leave a comment to say that you're brave for getting as vulnerable as you did in this video. It's taboo for even thin people to share their weight publicly. If anyone sees your raw honesty in this video and decides to say something negative to you, their opinion should hold absolutely no value because it takes a really cold-hearted, nasty person to see someone being vulnerable and to choose to be hurtful in response.
My weight increased this summer due to 3 surgeries. Once school started I starting being more serious since it is impacting healing from my knee surgery. Lost 6 pounds in the last 9 weeks. Need to be positive to myself. At least working and showing some loss but also think have gained muscle. So I look at how the pants fit. We all got this. No matter how you go about it.
You are a beautiful person regardless of what the scale says! I am proud of you for taking this step! You got this 💪🏻
Girl you do you and thank you for sharing your personal information. What you do is amazing and will be with you on your journey!
Lauren I’m truly happy for you, you’ve got this weight loss journey... I’m over weight too and I’ve been on every diet known to man.. I lost a lot of weight years ago and things happened and next thing I know I’m back to square one. But you’ve got an Army behind you my friend....
Thank you for being so vulnerable with us. One item I/we need to know - how tall are you? I am 5 ft. tall & about 220 lb. Thanks again for you letting us into your world. I like that you call me/us friend(s) bc my Great Niece (about 7 years old) said to me on Thanksgiving why don’t you get a friend already? I am on the Autism Spectrum and am also a Senior Citizen. Did I reveal too much? Lord protect me.
That's awesome that you've started this new journey! I've never heard of this medicine before! I'm definitely going to ask my PCP about it because I'm 42, 5"1', 270 and confined to a wheelchair bc I was born with Spina Bifida. I really want to have control of at least 1 thing in my life! Best of luck sweetheart!!! You will be in my prayers for extreme success!! I love you & your family! Merry Christmas!!!🎄 ❤️
GIRL YES!!! Thank you for sharing this entire video!! When we start allowing the number to not control us, we take ownership and our power back to all of the stigma around it! I am a bit more than you, but it makes me so so so thankful to have you sharing your story so we do know we're not alone and that number never defines us!! For what it's worth, I literally would've estimated your # to be 75lbs lower bc you literally look SO much skinnier than I do!
Thank you for posting this !! Im starting my mounjaro today!! Super nervous about side effects also ! But have to get over the hump... high five ❤
I’m so proud of you for taking this step. I took this step 6 months ago and I’m down 49 pounds now and I’m so happy about it that’s for sure. And it really does work and help. I will tell u I had the nausea for the first month really bad but I hung in there and now it’s way better. Only on occasion will I get really truly nauseous. And like I said I’m so proud that you did it. You will not regret it… good luck from one struggling mom to another we can do it I no we can. Our kids are our motivation and they are worth everything in life!!!!
Girl I have been on victosa for about a year and have lost over 230 pounds. Good luck to you! Love and hugs
You got this and I’ve been there. I was 400 lost down to 386 before I had surgery now I’m down to 235 it’s been one year 4 months. I every happy for and supporting you on your journey!!!❤
Both my husband and I both were switched to this from Ozempic because we are diabetic. He has been fine. I spent 6 weeks sick to my stomach, two trips to ER for dehydration. And then they took me off it. I'm back to the Ozempic. Each person is different. He hasn't lost any weight from it but it has done wonders for his blood sugar. He is very happy on it. I hope it works for you too!
You crack me up! 🤣🤣 Don't feel judged your always trying to better yourself and that's what counts not the number on a scale❤️❤️
Way to go Lauren! I love your family, I love your vlogs. Never be ashamed or embarrassed of who you are. There are many judges out there that need a piece of Jesus to calm their words and actions. You keep doing you for you and your family that is all that matters. Those of us that care will be here with you along your journey no matter what! Love to you and the fam❤❤
There's nothing to be scared of! The side effects are only for a little while and you can fight through them like I did. I'm taking the Ozempic 2 mg now. Stay with it and good luck!
Welcome to the MOJO club...its been a game changer medication for me. Good luck on your jorney!
PCOS here and also on Mounjaro!! Down 14 lbs in 6 wks. Can’t wait!
When I had Gastric Bypass surgery, the nutritionist explained that we have to eat to lose weight. If we hold back meals, our body goes into starvation mode and holds on to the fat to use for energy. If you feed your body the calories it needs, you will lose weight.
I am a diabetic and I started this medication last week. Definitely appetite suppressant. I had a headache the 1st day and slight nausea on day 4 other than that it’s been good. Best of luck on this journey. I am looking forward to following your journey as I am on mine.
I get it! I am way overweight for many, many years. I hate weighing myself and I won't tell anyone my weight. Mind you, here goes the excuses, I am 68 years old, I had five children and I don't eat properly. I have lost and gained many times over. I have never found a diet that is sustainable. I self sabotage and I am also defensive. My ex husband used to call me names, my father tells me I'm fat, like I don't know already and then I don't want to lose weight and convince myself that I am happy the way I am. You do you Lauren, to tell or not to tell is entirely up to you. Big hugs to you!
Same here ❤
Good luck Lauren! You’ve got this!! Please stop being so hard on yourself 😘
All the very best of luck and I hope the new med is a great tools for you 😊 I’m also currently on the same journey although I tried two meds and was sick with them so now I’m following a medical bariatric program (no surgery though)
I am so tired of others who feel the need to judge whatever happened to “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything” if we all just could support each other and lift each other up instead of the opposite wouldn’t it be fabulous?
All the best and all the luck can’t wait to see this journey for you ❤️
So dang proud of you! I was 241 now I’m 222! Working hard too. Your an inspiration!
I used Mounjaro for awhile and it is fantastic! I did get bariatric sleeve surgery a few weeks ago but to get me to the weight I needed to get the surgery I used the Mounjaro. I have PCOS and facial hair and have a hard time losing weight even on Keto. Girl I know you're struggle and what you are doing is great! I wish you the best in your journey and I love this for you! Oh and if people stretch their stomachs after bariatric surgery there is a pouch reset that you can do by going back to a liquid diet and progressing back to regular foods in a week. 😉 So far I am happy with my surgery so we will see how it goes. 30lbs lost in 4 weeks.
@Lauren Brazee, I’m on Ozempic as a T2D and I’ve lost 54 lbs since September. Also, I bought my Helix a long time ago, using your code of course, and LOOVVVVEEEE it!
You are truly amazing and I’m rooting for you the whole way! I am starting my weight loss journey! You got this mama ❤
Excited for this journey for you!!!
Thank you for documenting your journey. I have been considering this to help me but desire so many unanswered questions. You are Appreciated!
I started my shots last Sunday and I was so nervous and excited but Monday was the hardest day I was nauseous and had a headache. I hope you the best I’m so excited we are on this journey together!!!❤️😊
Can i get an update? How’s the drug doing? Did you really loose weight ?
Wow, one shot a week. I thought it would be daily! ! That's amazing.
A lot of people use weight loss medication. I'm so impressed that you started on Mounjaro.
Proud of you Lauren you are an inspiration to us.
You’re amazing you are helping so many thank you I’m rooting for you ❤
thank you for this... my doctor suggested this to me after
my weight spiraled out of control after having a baby. sent me home with a few pamphlets and told me to do my research...plus with the small task of losing 2-5lbs. i go back on the 13th to make my decision. videos like this help me so much 😅
Good luck on your weight loss journey ,You can do it just keep positive and just remember your doing it for yourself and your family especially your kids .GOD BLESS
It’s so weird to me that people will judge you for what you weigh !!! Your on a self care journey and I’m rooting for you all the way ❤
I tried exam pack and I've got the worst stomach ache ever. I am major sensitive to medication's. I can only take half of what they say pain, medicines or anything like that. I had to gastric bypass and please do not do it! I traded four different problems with four more different problems, and if I could just sit down and you and I could be friends and have coffee together and talk to you about it. I'm glad you're going to go this route and I hope it works for you. I have been on different medication's for weight loss and nothing seems to work for me so I'm really hoping it works for you. Honestly, I really am.❤️
So excited for you & to follow along! I started mounjaro on 11/8 😊
I was terrified to do my first shot. Then I laughed because it didn't hurt at all. I did have major nausea. But I love how it takes the cravings away. Best wishes for you.
I love that you are sharing this!!! Please keep us updated!! I have tried so many types of weight loss and nothing is working
You rocked that injection! We have to learn to (especially woman) accept and like ourselves . Wishing you all the best !
Good luck, hope it works for you. I also find it difficult to lose weight even when making long term healthy changes that everyone goes on about! I’ll be following this journey x
I’m so excited for you! Can’t wait to follow your journey. I started seeing mounjaro all over TikTok recently. I already had my heart set on bariatric surgery and had gone through most of the long approval process for my insurance. Had my sadi duodenal switch surgery in September. I’m so glad there are options out now to help so many people. Thanks for always being transparent and real. You got this!!
Happy for you Girl!! You definitely got this 🥰
Just decided to book gastric sleeve surgery in January. Finally going to take the time to work on myself.
Just found your channel!!!! Best of luck with your life style change!!!
You can do this!! Will follow your journey!!
Thanks friend!!
Thank you for sharing this Lauren. I've been looking into this medication. ❤️
Thanks for all your useful information about weight loss. I am also around your weight and desperately need knee replacement which I can’t have due to my size. Will definitely be speaking to my physician about this.
I'm so proud of you, who am I to be proud of you though, I just wish I could be half as courageous as you are, thanks for sharing and as always stay safe and God bless love ya Nancy ps I'm as big as you are and I have an appointment next week I am definitely asking about that.
You have a lot courage doing this on your channel, good luck on your weight loss journey. I hope it works wee for you
Congratulations Lauren I know this has bothered you for years I have the same problem. Don’t worry about what some may say. You are doing this for you not them. Best my girl. Love you and the family ❤
So excited for this journey. Watching carefully for the results
Thank you Lauren! Im completely struggling with my weight right now. You are an inspiration! I feel so uncomfortable in my body as well, and have super low energy. I also have PCOS. Weight loss journey together!
So proud of you Lauren!
Yay. I'm finally got first. Lol. Good luck on your new journey. Always remember we're here for you girl. Your going to do great things.
I weigh 190lbs and I’m 5ft 2inches I’ve been struggling to lose weight and keep it off since puberty and I’m now 60. I lost weight in my mid 40s but gained it all back plus more when going through menopause. I just really don’t know what to do. I’m overwhelmed and don’t even know where to begin. I just wanted you to know your not alone.😁
I’ve been on Ozempic for 4 months and I am down 37 lbs. it works great especially if you’re active which you are! I know you are taking Mounjaro but they do the same thing! So excited for you 🎉
I start MJ on the 26th and I'm SO nervous. LOL
Love your videos!
Also, I LOL when you said "eating like I'm going to the chair." Hahahaha~ I'm gonna have to start using that. ;-)
I’m nervous also . I’m watching this because I’m starting in the morning. Thank you for letting me know I shouldn’t be freaking out . That shot didn’t seem so bad . Thanks again!
Good luck Lauren can’t wait to see your progress
Hey Lauren!! Hope all goes well with weight loss!! My fiancee has type 2 diabetes but now he has to (well,I give him) a shot once a week of trulicity It seems to have reduced his appitite quite a bit!! Have faith sister!! It WILL work!! Much love from Omaha,nebraska!!
I go to my Doctor on the 15th of December and have type 2 diabetes. I'll ask her about it. Thanks for sharing. You do such a good job explaining things. I love you and your family.
Are you and Jill gonna still do podcasts?
Med assistant covers Wegovy which is similar.
I shoot mine in my thigh. I feel like when I shoot it in my stomach I get sick.
I was recently diagnosed with type 2 and am overweight. I lost 30lbs so far. Reversed the diabetes.
Good luck!
Oh and make sure you are eating proteins! Hair loss can be a real B with extreme weight loss. I have lost so much hair. Don’t mean to scare anyone but it can be shocking and the Drs don’t tell you about that part!
Lovely home and lovely you! Gonna look for updates ! I wish you happiness, health and lots of humor . I had sleeve surgery in 2019 at EOC in Tijuana it was wonderful experience . However I have regained 20 from old habits and stresses etc that we call life and as a emotional eater I feel this may be what I need to get me over the hump . Thanks for sharing
I started ozempic for 4 weeks. Lost 11 pounds. Sending you positive vibes you will do great. I was nerves to and I did not even feel it when I did it for the first time.
I was prescribed this as well. I pick mine up tomorrow. I’m excited
