Hi,

I'm looking for anyone who has started mounjaro at a borderline BMI for treatment.
I only just tip into the obese category at 13st 3lb, but the threads I've seen so far seem to be success stories of people starting with BMI 40+

Would it be worth it at my weight? Would I still see losses that would be more than dieting alone does anyone know?

I have just taken my 4th jab @ 2.5mg, my weight when I started was 13 stone 2lbs (5ft7) and I weighed last night at 12 stone 5.5lbs so a loss of 11 lbs. My BMI was 29 at the start (have high BP so am ok to use it) and my BMI is showing as 27.1 now.
I've got another 2.5mg pen as suppression is still ok, plus there will be 2 bonus doses so I'm hoping that will be enough to get to me to 11 stone 7lbs.
It really is quite amazing!

I started on Tuesday with a BMI of 28.8. Official weigh in tomorrow but I’ve lost 5lbs this week. I want to loose 2stone which would put me into the healthy BMI range.

That was my start weight at 5ft 6. I'm now 9st 10. Started around Easter this year

I haven't read all the replies yet, but I started 6 weeks ago, at a bmi of about 32. I'm not weighing myself weekly as I don't want to gain/lose motivation from obsessing over the scales. But a handful of people have already noticed I've lost some weight.
