Put on weight on mounjaro

I have been on mounjaro for two months. 2.5mg.

I don't feel like I have been eating anymore than normal.

I have put ON five pounds. It is very annoying.

Two threads now? Which ones are they then?

Oh you know. 😂

You get them quite a lot on the WLI board, I've noticed. There's something about it being quite a positive space that draws them in.

My personal favourites were SideEffectsLady who shat herself in an airport but still insisted on moving up the doses, whilst simultaneously talking about how dangerous WLIs were and that really weird woman with a normal BMI who kept posting really condescending 'advice' threads like she was a doctor. I think that one had a husband on the meds but it honestly cane off like she had a fetish of some kind.

I remember the airport lady and the subsequent thread.
We do try to help them but I think some are just after attention or trying to release rage!

I just tried to look but it was too long ago to still be visible (on the app anyway). She was very jolly and bossy - come along everyone, I’m going to tell you all about how to lose weight on Mounjaro - but she wasn’t actually on MJ and just stated the bleedin’ obvious all the time. And got really touchy when people called her out, thought everyone was most ungrateful for not appreciating her wisdom 😂

She was fabulous! You're right - 'jolly' was the perfect word. She sounded like one of those doctors who write advice columns or answer letters in Take A Break or similar.

No I really haven't a clue what you are on about. I haven't written any other threads on this forum. Genuinely.

Come along now everyone, sit quietly please, because today we’re going to be learning what a calorie is. And then I shall reveal a little-known fact - exercise is good for your health.

Ah maybe she was just trying to be helpful.

I haven't seen that thread, but It doesn't sound as nasty as some of the other posts that I've seen on here.

Now are we all sitting comfortably? I know it will be hard because we all do love cake don't we? But did you know that eating lettuce instead can significantly improve your chances of weight loss? That's right! I hope we are all taking notes? There will be a fun, low-stakes quiz at the end.

I don’t remember it being particularly nasty but people did get annoyed when they knew more about MJ than she did and yet she was so superior about it all. So she did get put in her place and eventually disappeared after a few tries at becoming the MN Mounjaro guru.

I miss her. Come back, you preachy loon, if you’re reading this!

It's hard to lose weight when you're eating for 5!

Just reading “tips-tricks-clicks-for-the-pricks” has made my day 😂

I had forgotten about her! ‘Buying clothes in charity shops can help you to afford WLI!’

I bet she is one of the MNers who suggest that hard-up OPs take in ironing.

Even the first paragraph has me laughing!

"You could be a few weeks, months or a year into it and you’re probably still wondering what on Earth is this sorcery and will I be Cinderella’d back in to smocky tops and circulation cutting waist bands once I’ve stopped."

You poor, fat, unfashionable fucks.

She is literally advising people not to forget to look in the mirror when trying on clothes 😂😂

Sorry, do you think that I am all of those posters?

Because I am definitely not.

So am I supposed to have made five threads on the Mounjaro forum now? That has gone up from two threads.

Next it'll be ten threads. Haha its so crazy.

If only there was a way to prove it..

I liked the use of 'that cozzy' - a similar tone that I've heard nurse's use to elderly patients when they mistake being old for being stupid.

Also loved the random 'cheeky!' after suggesting getting 'those Levis' turned into a skirt.
