I've been reading that the first dose is a therapeutic dose to get your body used to it.
Has anyone found 2.5 help with weight and hunger too?

NCfor24 · 09/10/2024 13:54

I lost 11lb in my first 5 weeks on Mounjaro dose 2.5mg

ginnybag · 09/10/2024 13:57

18lbs in 5 weeks on 2.5mg.

I've a fair bit to lose, though!

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 09/10/2024 14:07

16lbs off in the first 4 weeks. Felt very full, had little appetite and only had a bit of constipation. In hindsight, I should have given it at least another month but there was t so much feedback on people staying on it a few months ago 🤷‍♀️ Still only on 5 now, 3 months later!

3wDavid · 09/10/2024 14:56

I was on 2.5 for 6 weeks and lost a stone and a half.

ShiftAMountain · 09/10/2024 14:59

About 3 weeks in and about 12lbs down...

Penguinsmum · 09/10/2024 15:00

I have done almost 5 months on 2.5. had good supression throughout. I lost 2 stone 10 lbs going from 12 stone to 9 stone 4. Taking my last jab this afternoon. Then no more pens! I feel fairly confident to maintain. It's been a huge reset for me.

Gladicalled · 09/10/2024 15:06

I lost 17lb while on 2.5lb but I do have a lot to lose. My bmi is still just over 40

TerfTalking · 09/10/2024 15:07

I did a stone in 2.5 in 5 weeks

HeBeaverandSheBeaver · 09/10/2024 15:07

Yes lost 10 kilos since mid July. Not gone up as it has worked at low dose.

Cheesemas · 09/10/2024 15:10

I can't cope with pounds but I've lost just under 4kg on MJ. Currently in the 2nd week on 2.5mg. I started at 29.7BMI, and want to lose 10kg to get my BMI to 25

WorriedRelative · 09/10/2024 15:13

About 4kg on the first pen

SnacklessWonder · 09/10/2024 15:16

Yes, I lost a 11.8lb on 2.5mg. Then I did the bonus dose in the 2.5mg peb which took me to a stone loss. Starting weight was 11st 7.8lb for context.

Bobbinsbop · 09/10/2024 17:57

Thanks for the replies.
i have just ordered so hopefully will be approved.

I weighed myself after 9 days and I’d lost half a stone

Snozzlemaid · 09/10/2024 18:05

I lost a stone on 5 weeks of 2.5mg.
I was lucky that I had suppression from very early on.

Sarahlouise86 · 09/10/2024 19:20

2 stone on 3 x 2.5mg pens. I probably need to order another 1 or 2 pens to reach my target weight and my plan is to stick to 2.5mg, so I won't have ever had any higher. It definitely works for some.

ToBePerfectlyHonest · 09/10/2024 19:27

Im on week six of 2.5 and I’ve lost a stone. I had three stone to lose to get to well within a healthy BMI, so I’m already a third of the way there. I decided to stay for a second month at 2.5 because I was having side effects (huge amount of acid, insomnia and no appetite at all) which is only just started to be able to manage at the end of week four.

I’ve experienced massive suppression, it’s a struggle to eat three tiny meals a day, I can’t imagine what it would be like to move up.

HiveMindEchoChamber · 09/10/2024 20:04

Yes 5 weeks 10 lbs.
If anything I'm slowing down on 5mg!

Please could you explain the bonus dose to me? I've just done my first 2.5 dose tonight, very excited! I've a fair bit to lose. How quickly do you start to feel the appetite suppression?

TheChirpyWasp · 09/10/2024 21:18

I’m on day six of my first injection and have had no suppression at all. I feel absolutely no different, it’s disappointing

Snozzlemaid · 09/10/2024 21:41

Be patient and have faith in it. It's very, very early days for you yet.

NewoIkkin · 10/10/2024 11:18

16.4lbs in four weeks on 2.5mg

Lorie94 · 10/10/2024 11:32

I started 9th September and I have lost 10lbs so far. I will move up to 5mg on Sunday

Adelstrop · 10/10/2024 16:33

in my sixth week at 2.5 Lost 17 lbs. Don't really get hungry, though it does wear off by the end of the week. Absolutely no desire to snack, which is my downfall usually. On the less positive - very bad constipation, that's the only side effect. If I can sort that out I will continue with 2.5 until it stops working for me.
