Hope this isn’t too derailing but I’m thinking of starting Mounjaro. I need to lose 3 stone, have anyone in here taken it for the same goal and how long did it take for you to lose it and how much did you spend?

pressed post to quickly, excuse the terrible grammar.

@ALittleBitWooo I lost just over 6 stone - it took me about 5 months to lose the first three and about 8 months to lose the next three. Most of it was at 10mg, not sure how much I spent but that’s probably not very useful info anyway as prices have gone up quite a lot since then 👍

Week 7, day 6, 5mg

B: pain aux raisin, two coffees

L: low fat sausages, scrambled egg and baked beans on thin slice of sourdough, two easy peelers

D: leftover chicken curry and rice

Lots of mugs of tea and squash.

Week 8, day 1, 2.5mg
B - coffee with collagen protein
L - oat, fat free greek yogurt, chai & flax seeds
D - veg and sardine scrambled egg
S - protein yogurt
E - HIIT and circuit training

B: decaf black coffee

L: leftover lamb, lentil and black pudding hotpot with carrots, parsnips, swede, a few sprouts on the side. Protein yogurt with a plum

S: handful of nuts

D: sausage casserole with cavolo nero, sprout tops, beans. An apple with some cheese

@ALittleBitWooo It took me 6 months to lose 3 stone. BMI 30 to BMI 22.5. I could probably have done it faster. I never went higher than 5mg and ate 3 meals most days. I have no idea how much I spent - probably around £2000 but I have enough pens in the fridge to keep me in maintenance for almost a year.
