small loss week 1

[ForBrickSnake]

I started mounjaro a week ago 2.5mg. I've lost 2lbs.

I'm 5.5st overweight and suppose was hoping for more - read about 6 or 8lb losses.

I've stopped snacking and cut back on a lot of rubbish.

Why did you expect more? The 2.5mg dose isn't intended to produce weight loss for the majority. Losing 2 pounds is fantastic. Some people can respond quickly and lose a larger amount in the first week but that's not typical nor to be expected.

What is your calorie deficit?

To lose 2lbs you've eaten 1000 calories less a week compared to your maintenance calories. But it depends on what you were eating, if you were overeating by a lot more than needed, then it's worth tracking your food and working out your deficit calories to lose the optimum calories. To do this use a TDEE calculator online and a food logging app. Drink lots of water to avoid water retention and avoid dehydration which can cause side effects. Eat more protein to keep full and less carbs, reducing alcohol, potatoes, bread and pasta should help.

It'll be 1000kcal per day, rather than per week. Over the week it will be 7000

Yeh sorry that's what I meant 😅
