I'm 5 foot 3 and 10 stone 4. I'm a size 10 still but wobbly. I have pcos. I've done work with a personal trainer and at the gym. Diet generally good but I cannot shift a stone. Aibu to use mounjaro for 1 month?

If you have PCOS look into the ketogenic diet, it can help reduce inflammation and there is some evidence that PCOS is linked to insulin resistance, and going low carb can really help sort that out. Low carb will also help with the weight loss.
Best of luck!

Don't be ridiculous. It doesn't work like that anyway and you wouldn't lose a stone in a month.

You are only just overweight so you are not eligible for a prescription.

YABU. It's not for people who want to lose a few pounds. No legitimate pharmacy will prescribe it at that BMI.

If you have pcso have you asked your doc for metformin? That also helps with weight loss

It's not a drug for someone who is 10 stone. Your BMI isn't high enough. So yeah YABU.

It doesn't work like that. It's not a drug for someone your size. You'd be better off spending the money on personal trainer sessions.

No one will prescribe it to you unless your BMI is 30+

Assuming you're acquiring it correctly, your BMI needs to be 30.
