How much did you lose in the first month?

[Itsmyturntobehappy]

Considering starting Mounjaro 2.5mg for the first 4 weeks. 87kg with 169cm height How much do you lose in the first month?

Started at 188lbs / 85kg. Lost 9lbs in the first month. But I kept losing at roughly that rate till I had lost 50lbs. Best gift I have ever given myself.

@Itsmyturntobehappy so you have been doing it for nearly 6 months?the question is what happens when we stop?

0!!!

I’m not far off you, I was 84kg with 160cms height. I lost nothing in the first month. I think it takes upping the dose to work for some people. I’ve started the next dose and on week two and starting to not eat as much. I’ve lost 1kg over 1.2 months now. I think it’s a gradual thing, well for me anyway (hopefully!!)

thanks for this @Newhi did it not stop you from eating as much in the first month?

Everyone loses differently. For me, I was 87.1kg and around 164cm when I started and this is my 4 week loss stat
Week 1: -2.9kg or 6.39lbs
Week 2: -3.1kg or 6.83lbs
Week 3: -1.3kg or 2.87lbs
Week 4: -0.7kg or 1.5lbs

I lost 8kg in 4 weeks which was massive though the first 2 weeks will mostly be water . The weight loss has been slower and steady since then which I’m happy with so it’s evened out.
However, there are people who won’t lose until they go up a dose and there’s no way to say how it’ll impact you.

You need to change your lifestyle and diet whilst you are on it and carry those changes on when you stop otherwise you put the weight back on .

Can I ask how you wean yourself off once you achieve your target weight? Is it a case of just stopping the weight loss drugs?

I lost 14lb in the first 4 weeks. I’m now 12 weeks in and have lost a total of 33lbs. I only needed to go up to the 7.5mg dose. I am nearly at my target weight so plan to go back to 5mg as a maintenance dose for a few months. See how I go before coming off completely.

Nothing.

@Itsmyturntobehappy No if anything I ate lots! More sugary things than I did before and more wine! I put on a kilo for the first month and it was stagnant. I’m hoping to get the appetite suppression soon. But I have eaten so much more chocolate than I ever have, but not really put in as much weight as I thought. I just craved sugar and I’ve never been a sweet person before.

I lost 17lbs in the first month. 10 weeks in now and I've lost 32lbs

I'm in week 4 now, started at 89.5kg, 172cm height. I have lost about 5kg since starting, which I'm chuffed with, especially as it's been Christmas!
