After how much weight loss did you notice a difference?

Hello
I know this answer is going to be so different for everybody but I'm really curious. How much weight did you lose before you felt your clothes weren't as tight?
Before you were able to buy a size smaller?
And before anybody else noticed

Thank you

Is it possible to use this for a quick fix?

I could do with losing maybe a stone, have a wedding to go to soon & quite fancy the idea, so my outfit looks just right.

How much will it cost me and where do I look for an ethical supplier?

No. Ethical and quick fix are opposite ends of the scale.

Surely it's just a case of getting it from a provider and taking it?
I'm probably not even overweight technically but feel better at a stone lighter.

@Cervidae in order to "get it from a provider" you need to be prescribed it, which means meeting the prescribing criteria. That applies to any of the regulated UK online providers of Mounjaro. It's a prescription-only medication, you can't just buy it.

It took me 3 stone to see any difference

Someone described it to me once as being like a kitchen roll, when you first start 1 sheet makes no difference to the thickness of the roll. As the roll gets smaller each sheet makes a more noticeable difference.

Thats how it’s worked for me. I started as size 22/24 and it took a good 2 stone before I felt like I should size down. As I’ve got smaller the clothes sizes change more frequently, I’ve now lost 4 stone total and wearing size 14, sometimes 12.

Yeah this, it took me from 1 and a half stone to get from a size 16/18 to 14/16 (5ft 2 started at 12 1/2 stone). I’m hoping with weight training and another stone I can get into 12/14.

You’ll need to prove you meet the eligibility criteria which means:
BMI 30+ or 27+ with weight related conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure etc)

in order to prove that you’ll need to submit photo ID that they can use to compare against a full body pic of you in tight clothing to show your body shape, they will also notify your GP of the prescription.

If you find a prescriber who isn’t following these guidelines then be very very careful as they are dodgy and may be selling you something other than Mounjaro. The dodgy places are selling stuff like insulin and calling it Mounjaro which is sending people to hospital.
