If you’re using Mounjaro to maintain

May I ask:- What was your starting weight? How much did you lose? How long did it take you to get to goal? What was the highest dose you took? How old are you? How tall are you? What dose have you found helps you maintain your weight loss? Im just starting to go back down the doses and given the huge impending price hike I’m hoping that my maintenance dose won’t be higher than 5mg 🙏🏻. I’m presently on 15mg and losing maybe half a pound a week. I started at 190lb am 5” 1”, 62 years old and will have lost 65Lbs over 11 months. I know nothing is written in stone but I thought it might give me an indication. Thanks.

I was 100kg June last year and got to 65kg May this year, maintaining on 10 but wanting to come down now because of the price hike.
I am 60 and 170cm tall.

Well done on your amazing weight loss! Eventually other manufacturers will be able to make identical drugs, roll on that day.

I’m 62, 5.4ft started at 85kg last June reached my goal of 60kg in April this year but have dropped to 57kg since maintaining.
Highest dose was 10 but I got sick on 3rd pen, dropped to 7.5 and again sick after 3rd pen, I think as I lost weight it just got too strong for me.
I’ve been on 5 for 2 pens, thinking about going down to 2.5 soon, the price hike may sway me, I intend to stay on for about a year to stabilise my weight, ideally I’d like to take half doses of 2.5 but I’m not there yet so I’ll see what happens in the future.
I’m eating and exercising more, and I’m more hungry, some days I feel I’m not as healthy as I’d like, but so far I’ve lost weight rather than gained, I really don’t want to loose more, my face and skin have suffered from my weight loss, although generally I feel great and think I look so much better, apart from my face 🤣

SW: 240lbs
CW: 136lbs (104lbs lost or 7st 6lbs)
Time taken: 11 months
Highest Dose: 7.5mg
Age: 32
Height: 5’8

I’ve worked my way back down to 2.5mg (stayed on 5mg for around 2 months, then 3.75mg for two months). I think I’ll do another 2/3 months of 2.5mg and then try to lower to around 1.75 for a few months before coming off completely. However, I’m not opposed to being on 2.5mg if needed.

Congratulations on your fab weight loss and thanks.
