Google tells me that people loose 10% of their body weight over a year. so if you started at 100kg, you would be 90kg after a whole year!! that is not good weight loss at all. definitely not worth, what it costs

but people loose significantly more than that, don't they?? certainly people on social media have definitely lost more than 10% and in a shorter space of time

2nd question from a place of considering trying it because I have mobility issues and it would really be beneficial to not be over weight. but, I don't particularly eat loads and loads. I have a sweet tooth and I emotionally eat, I'm not eating because I am hungry. so am I correct in thinking that it probably wouldn't help me much?

That is great @nevertuesday! I am on week 8 of taking Mounjaro and hopefully by the end of this week I'll have hit 1.5 stones lost.

No heart rate issues for me either, and no major side effects despite increasing to 5mg last week. Just a bit tired and occasionally lightheadedness but that's due to not eating enough (because I don't feel hungry.) Protein shakes have been very useful for me if I've not wanted a meal so that I'm not running on empty.
