I was on mounjaro for a year & got down to a weight I was happy with. Had to come off it cause of cost last September & my weight has crept back up. I’m not as high as I was starting out last time but want to nip it in the bud now. (I started hrt in March & had other medical issues & the weight has been slowly increasing). So I’m thinking of starting the wegovy tablets as I’ve read MJ doesn’t work as good the second time round. Just wondering if anyone has done the same? And if so, how are you getting on.

Following and thinking the same due to cost!

im guessing it’ll obviously be less effective but my bmi is going up again so thought the pills might help,

Where are you starting from op? My BMI on MJ but it’s creeping back up, even with 4 gym days a week plus gousto under 600

When I stopped the MJ last year I was 9 stone 10. I weighed myself this morning and I'm 11 stone 6lb. ( I feel so embarrassed I'm after putting that much back on). I'm refusing to go back to where I started originally ( 13st 7lb) and the MJ is just too expensive. So I'm hoping I'll be able to stay on the pills longterm once I hit target. The best I've ever felt is when I was on the MJ and the food noise was gone. I feel in a constant battle with myself lately regarding food.

Oh wow that's great! How are you finding them? Any side effects? Is the food noise gone?
