Really slow

[Rockdaylia44]

Been on Mounjaro 7 weeks lost 8lb, very slow. Cut down, stopped smoking, less fizzy drinks,loads of water.
Very slow process. Extremely tired 😫
Seems like a huge amount of money to lose 8lbs so far

Did you get all the way to 15mg and still no more weight lost?

Did your doctor suggest Wegovy instead? Just a thought.

I think you have to track calories on mounjaro, at least at the beginning, and make sure you are below your TDEE.

I was resistant to tracking as it’s not been good for me before but with the help of mounjaro I was able to cut back on calories and not get obsessed.

I found it really interesting how low I needed to go to lose weight, which is part of the reason I struggled to lose weight before, as I would never manage to eat so little so consistently without the help of the mounjaro.

Sorry to hear that it didn’t work for you op.
I am a slowish loser due to the amount of weight I have to lose and I kinda have a love / hate relationship with it. Feels like a slog at times but I have to keep reminding myself that it is safe rate.
I don’t currently track calories which I should if I was that bothered by it. I will have to eventually.

But it did work? You lost a pound a week. That's all adds up.

But it DID work! You said you lost a pound a week. That means it was working. You can only say it didn't work if you made it all the way up to 15mg and didn't lose any weight at all. It's not magic and takes time to build up in a lot of people.
