Mountjaro or Wegovy -not diabetic-How did you choose?

[wildflowersdontcarewheretheygrow]

Just this really. I'm 5'1 and 15st. Been on WW for 6mths and shifted 2stone but need to do something more drastic as perimenopausal and die a knee op in October so it's not going to be easy to lose anymore and keep off what I've lost.

I can't see any real difference other than the risk of hair loss with Mountjaro , and the slight price difference?

Any advice greatly appreciated

Mounjaro inludes the same drug as Wegovy but then a second one too. People seem to lose more and faster on Mounjaro.
I lost my weight on Wegovy and was very happy on it, but if I was starting now I'd choose Mounjaro.

I chose Mounjaro because I read that it's more effective and tends to have fewer side effects.

People I know of on Wegovy have suffered quite a bit with side effects, whereas on Mounjaro I've only had mild constipation and needed to drink a bit more water.

Mounjaro is different to wegovy as it mimics two hormones not just one. I did a lot of research before starting and there seem to be far less side effects on Mounjaro plus in all the medical trials Mounjaro was more effective for weight loss. I’m a a few groups and there are a lot of people swapping to Mounjaro from wegovy and preferring Mounjaro. I haven’t tried wegovy but picked Mounjaro for the above reasons. I’m 3 weeks in and 11lb down. I’ve had a few minor side effects such as bloating, nausea, dry mouth and headaches. But all very mild.

I’m with voy they have a lot of information on their website and you can message with any questions. They offer coaching and support alongside the medications which is why I chose them. They are more expensive than some others but I feel it’s worth it for the support and information they provide. I’ve saved money on my food bill and wine to cover it anyway 🤣
Im mid forties and was finding it extremely difficult to shift the weight. I can’t believe how easy the medication is making it. I am eating healthily and exercising alongside the medication.
if you would like a discount code for VOY let me know 😀

It's not the same drug. Wegovy is semaglutide and Mounjaro is tirzepatide, they are two separate chemical compounds and different actions, albeit similar.

From the research that I did, Mounjaro has better results and not as many side effects.

I did a lot of research before starting and chose Mounjaro as it gives better results and contains 2 peptides as compared to Wegovy's 1.

Mounjaro DOES NOT cause hair loss. Any rapid weight can cause you to lose hair (including that brought on by Wegovy or following a VLCD) so it is important to counter this risk with protein, supplements etc

I have got quite emotional about MJ on occasions as it is incredible!! The silence in my head regarding food is just bliss as is the lack of the nauseating hunger I would feel every morning even when I wasn't restricting calories! It has broken my bottle-a-night wine habit, given me more energy, helped me be more able to tackle everyday stuff, helped me realise I am not 'greedy', 'lazy', 'weak willed' etc oh, and yes, helped me lose 24lbs in 6 weeks! ❤️

Thankyou for the info. Yes please that would be great!

Thankyou all for your responses and information ( and insight).
It is very encouraging to hear your success stories. I've had a good read up over the weekend and think my mind is set!

Best of luck to you all on your weight loss journeys!

Will send you a code now 😀 it is honestly amazing stuff. I’m a stone down after 4 weeks and have just moved up to 5mg. I really struggled for 16 months to lose anything it was so frustrating! Voy are great as you don’t have to do anything they just send the pens automatically. They WhatsApp you weekly with support and if you need anything they are so helpful. Good luck, if you have anymore questions let me know, happy to help.

Sorry to jump on this, would you be able to send me a code ? Thanks.
