Anyone not lost weight on Mounjaro

4 weeks in on 2.5 and I've lost a lb if that. Definitely not eating much (I counted calories at 1400-1500). I am hoping this might change on 5mg but I am not sure.
Has this happened to anyone else

I only lost 3lbs on my month at 2.5mg but as soon as I went up to 5mg things started to move. 3lbs last week and 4lbs this week.

I also found I had very few side effects and started to get hungry after 5 days on 2.5. On 5mg I still have few side effects but am feeling full all the way through.

It's pretty normal I think. The initial 4 weeks on the 2.5mg dose is to become accustomed to the drug in your system and to build up the amount. You should see some improvement on 5mg as that's the first dose level that's meant to produce weight loss.

I wonder if you need to reduce calories? I'm usually 1000-1200 cals a day

Did you get any improvements on this? I’m in the same position - first month done and no weight lost. I’m wondering why it’s not working for me. And I’m not planning to live on 1000 calories a day! That’s madness

The first month is a low dose just to get your body used to the drug

if you read all the guidance it says it can take 10 to 12 weeks for you to start to lose weight
