Third month on 15mg, what now?

[PumpkinPatch23]

I have been on Mounjaro since October and have gone from 13stone3lbs to 9stone10lbs. I went up the doses as recommended, staying on some doses for longer as they seemed to be working.

My weight loss has not been linear, I exercise regularly and I'm focusing on nutrition. I always use the extra 5th dose. I feel it's not come off too quick and I've been happy with the progress.

I have just started on my third pen of 15mg. I have not lost any more weight in about 6 weeks, neither have I gained.

I am pretty happy with my weight now, I am 5'4" and size 12s fit well I could probably go to a 10 if I'm honest. Bmi is 23.9. I would like to tone more so I am continuing with gym, lifting weights etc I do have some muscle in my legs as a long term cyclist so I don't pay much attention to the BMI. I think I look ok.

My question is, do I stick now with the 15, do I try and extend the time between jabs in order to build up to stopping? I think my diet is ok but I'm just not sure what to do now

Appreciate any comments from people in a similar situation.

Have you discussed maintenance with your supplier?
You could have a read through the maintenance thread to see what has worked for others

Thanks so much. I hadn't spotted that. I'll have a good read now 😀

Speak to your provider about maintenance. 15mg is the highest dose so most would taper down fully to come off or taper down to a dose that allows them to increase enough calories to maintain rather than lose. Depends if you want to stay on it or come off it. I wouldn't advise just stretching the doses on 15mg as that's only done on the lower doses like upto 5mg. Best results are seen when tapering slowly.

Hello lovely helpful people, I would like to start a new thread about people with under active thyroid and are using mounjaro weight loss please, there is some posts on here but not many people have contributed, Thank you to the people that did 👍🏻 I only used my first injection 4 days ago, of 2.5gm, obviously it’s very early days for me but I would be very grateful to anyone who is willing to share their experiences? Can I ask how soon did people start to feel their appetite suppressing? I’m still hungry a lot, I’m definitely calorie deficit, my biggest problem is being unable to exercise due to disabilities, is this going to hold me back? Any guidance or advice would be so helpful to me TIA

You need to put this on a new thread as you have posted on a thread asking about maintenance etc
