Mounjaro Wks 1-4 only lost 2 or 3kg

[Crazycatlady79]

Hi, All.
I know its not a competition and we're all different, but just wondered how much other people have lost during their first 4 weeks on Mounjaro.
On the starter dose, I haven't experienced much 'loss of appetite' and, perhaps unrealistically, I thought I might have lost more.
Clearly, it's because I haven't sufficiently reduced my calorie intake (and, overeating is a lifelong issue, hence...obesity and Mounjaro, having tried everything else over the years).
I'm doing MJ in conjunction with increasing my activity levels slowly and trying to make changes to what I eat and when etc, so not seeing MJ as a quick fix, but feeling a bit useless and greedy, as not even even weight loss injections seems to curb my scoffing.

2 to 3 kgs is exactly the expected amount of weight loss on any calorie controlled diet, it's about 1 to 2 pounds per week. Please don't feel useless or greedy, you're doing absolutely fine. You've lost weight, at a sustainable rate, on the starter dose which isn't going to produce weight loss for everyone.

Same. I found it did curb my appetite the first couple of weeks on 2.5, but my appetite returned the second half of the month. Onwards and upwards @Crazycatlady79
