So after my first week on 5mg MJ I've lost 2.5lbs.
That's 16.5lbs in my first five weeks.
Glad I'm taking measurements too, as I've lost 8 inches from my waist!, 5 from my hips and 4 from my chest.
Struggled massively with constipation this week, so I think my 'true' loss is probably more than the scales show.
Really need to focus this week on getting in the right amount of water to help flush my body as my calorie intake is so reduced.
My other half wanted a chippy tea last night. I said I'd try just a mini fish as I didn't think I could manage much more. Literally ate 4 bites and couldn't manage anything else, so need to try and plan food combinations better to make sure I'm getting the nutrition I need.

Is it best to calorie count and what time do you take yours? Thanks
Don't take it if you are taking it as a short term fix. It probably won't start working until you are on 1mg, that means you'll have been on it for over 8 weeks before it starts to work. That is how it's supposed to work.unfortunately some of us can’t afford to wait 12 weeks to even have any suggestion that it’s workingI’m by no means expecting an instant fix (the weight didn’t go on instantly and won’t come off instantly!) but if I don’t have some indication that I haven’t just been injecting myself with saline after the first four weeks I don’t think I could justify the, to me, huge expense of buying the next month. Some indication of it working doesn’t even need to be weight loss it could even be unpleasant side effects - just some indication that it’s getting into my system and doing something, you know?

I was on it for 18 months I've stopped taking it now and not put any weight back on thankfully but I am calorie counting. I lost 4 stone but it only started working when I was on 1mg, so it didn't work for 2 - 3 months which I was totally happy with as that's what the instructions said.
Sorry, I'm probably setting a bad example by posting my early losses. It just seemed to work for me quickly. Mainly as it stopped me snacking and put me off alcohol.
I’m on 2.4 Wegovy and people are only just noticing my weight loss now so with me I’m a slow weight loss Person but feel great . It’s not been a quick fix and it’s been a very much trust the process kind of thing for me . Just coming up to 3 stone loss now 
some people lose quickly and some take a bit longer , every human body is different

I loosely calorie count, but I’m not really monitoring it. I take mine on a Monday morning when I’m getting ready for work.
Awww no, don’t ever apologise for sharing your journey and being honest about it. It’s brilliant you’ve had early losses and the medication has worked quickly.
I think the important thing when starting the medication is not to expect a quick fix and to stop comparing to others.
I’ve had big and small losses and I’ve also gained. Everyone’s journey is different and everyone’s body reacts differently.
So please don’t apologise or ever think you are setting a bad example because you are not
