Could you share your Mounjaro journey with me?

[User99999999]

I’m absolutely fascinated by these threads and can’t get enough of all your stories! I think it’s because I’m so excited to start it myself and having made the decision to order some after my holiday next week, I’d love to know more about your journey with Mounjaro to keep me going while I wait!

1. How long have you been using Mounjaro?
2. How long did you stay at each dose before increasing?
3. How much weight have you lost so far?
4. If you’ve reached your goal weight, what dose are you maintaining on?
5. What’s the one piece of advice you wish you’d been given when you started?

I have lost 6kg since starting on the Mounjaro.
And in the weeks before that I lost 2kg on my own.

I need to keep positive I know. I have aqua aerobics this evening which I enjoy.

i thought I’d lose 1kg a week steadily. It’s disheartening after steady loss to see nothing at all for 10 days.

I’m going to be on 3.75 for the next four weeks.

thanks to all the supportive lovely people on this board. It’s so good to be able to talk about this

depending on how much you have to lose 1kg a week is a lot.

sounds like you've just been on 2.5mg to date and that is just a starter dose - so any loss is a bonus.

Keep going - it works

I’m on week 19. Originally 2.5 mg for 4 weeks. Week 5-8 5 mg. Week 9-13 7.5 mg. I then went back to 5 mg as I found the 7.5 too high. Back up to 7.5 mg for weeks 14-18. Will be going up to 10 mg for my next dose. My starting weight was 13.1 stone. I’m now at 9 stone 13 🫢
my goal is 9.3 stone.
my side effects have been constipation throughout. In the beginning I had dizziness and fatigue but, that’s disappeared now.

How long have you been using Mounjaro?
1 Year on 9th June.
How long did you stay at each dose before increasing?
1 pen on each dose except 5mg which i did 2 pens.
How much weight have you lost so far?
114lb
If you’ve reached your goal weight, what dose are you maintaining on?
Almost at goal, 5 lb to go. I plan on taking 7.5mg for a while.
What’s the one piece of advice you wish you’d been given when you started?
Nothing really. I think I've done pretty good on my own.
