April 16th 2025 – Day 1 of My 1 Year Weight Loss Journey
Today marks the start of something big – quite literally!
I weigh 20 stone (280lbs), which is a lot for a 5’9″ guy. But I’ve set myself a clear goal: Lose 5 stone (70lbs) and get to 15 stone (210lbs) by 16th April 2026!
You can read here about how I got to this point, but the important thing is that I’m fully motivated now to turn things around.
I’ll be posting regular updates here on this site – the highs, the lows, what’s working, and what’s not – so you can follow along and give me a kick up the ass when i need it.
Putting myself out here like this isn’t easy, but I’m doing it to keep myself on track and stay honest about the process.
To give myself the best possible shot of success this time around, I’ve just started using Mounjaro 2.5mg weight loss injections. I know – a bit controversial. right! I ordered it from MedExpress, a fully approved UK online chemist. This wasn’t a snap decision. I’ve spent months researching all the options – different injections, side effects, pricing, and the best (and safest) ways to get it. (Pro tip: don’t buy meds from a TikTok shop). Sidenote: As a new customer MedExpress have also given me a discount voucher i can share with anyone else thinking of signing up! Please email me if you for more info.
So todays update: Within the last hour, i just took my very first dose of Mounjaro (2.5ml). Ive also just created my own Weight Loss Injection Tracker to help me keep on top of my injections over the year too. The injection process is pretty straight forward as long as you follow the step by step instructions Mounjaro provide. Going into this, even the thought of sticking a needle in myself wasn’t fun, but to be honest the needle is so tiny I barely felt it. So far so good. Im still alive and well and dont feel sick, so lets hope it stays that way.
I’ll be documenting everything, including any side effects from the injections, alongside my overall diet and fitness progress here on my website. And since weight isn’t the only thing that matters, I’ll also be tracking key body measurements throughout the year.
Day 1 Measurements: (sorry about the belly shot lol)
- Belly: 50 inches
- Neck: 19 inches
- Arse: 49 inches
Total: 118 inches
Let’s see how these numbers shift over time.
I’d love for you to follow me on this journey. Drop your tips, tricks or motivation in the comments – I’ll need all the help I can get!
