Should I move up a dose?

I’ve been on Mounjaro for nearly a year. I did a month at 2.5, probably about 4 at 5, 4 again at 7.5 and now I’m heading into month 3 of 10mg. In that time I’ve lost 7 stone 1.7lbs.

I feel like this is a good loss for a year, but also that it’s slowed down a lot over the last two months. I am tempted to move up to 12.5, but I’m also aware that there isn’t much further to go in terms of dosages when you hit the final ones.

I will drop a large amount of weight the first week of my menstrual cycle and then slowly gain it over the month, before a big drop before my period and then the same cycle again. This has happened for 2-3 months now

What should I do???

1500 sounds like a pretty good deficit at 15 stone with all the exercise you do! I expect you’re already making sure you have lots of protein and water? Hopefully next dose plus a bit of time will see you into a better loss rate again.

SO much water. Protein is something I work on, I try to hit 100g a day but I’m not always getting it.
