Name changed for this.
my weight ballooned over the last 4 years (size 8 to 14). The GP insisted it was due to my desk job/ lifestyle. I tried everything to budge it (diet / exercise) and no luck. Finally tried Mounjaro a month ago. I’ve been weighing and tracking my calories, average 800 a day, never over 1,200. I’m sedentary (about 5000 steps a day average) but not ridiculously so as I work from an office and have two school runs. After a month on Mounjaro I’ve gained a kg. It just doesn’t seem right, but I can’t face another useless appointment with the GP.
for context, I’m south Asian, 5’2”, 75 kg, 39. Don’t think I’m peri (no other symptoms really). I’m in a rush to loose weight because of joint issues the GP attributes to my weight. Mum and sister have thyroid issues but my blood tests were clear a year ago.
