Mounjaro and friends

[M88l]

I started mounjaro last year and so far I have lost 45lbs
I am so proud of myself. I started documenting my progress online and have met some wonderful and supportive people from social media.

But I have found barely any support from my friend. My friend really wants to loose weight and start MJ but it's the cost that is setting her back. I don't bring up my achievements often as it appears a touchy subject, in past conversation if i have mentioned anything it's because where on the topic brought up by others.

I never bring up weightloss now as it makes me feel uncomfortable around her. If she mentions anything about weighloss or mounjaro , if I say one thing the conversation gets shut down immediately.

Has anyone else noticed that their friends are very off about their weightloss?
I'm not looking for a parade or anything like that.

Am I being paranoid?

Not just weight loss. Some people will be jealous of any perceived success
Just make sure you're not bragging or shoving it in their face.

@Gwenhwyfar yeah I suppose. I don't brag or steer the conversation towards it. I only really speak about it if it comes up as it seems all was fine before I started the jabs.

There's no more you can do then.

That's really sad OP, I'm guessing your sucess at losing weight makes her feel inadequate, once you were both in it together and now you've raced ahead and she probably feels like the fat friend.
I think not mentioning it unless she does is probably best way however your weight loss will be very obvious so can't really hide it as it's right in front of her. I would acknowledge that you wouldnt have been able to do it / or found it really challenging without the help of the jabs to acknowledge that you have had a helping hand and she's in a more difficult situation.
But real friends are there for each other regardless.

Isn’t it extremely obvious that she is upset and finds it challenging that she can’t afford to get a prescription for Mounjaro and would love to be able to lose weight in the way you have? So it’s not about the weight loss itself, but about the fact that she knows she hasn’t been able to lose weight so far and knows she can’t access medication that would fix that.

What support were you hoping for from her? What are finding difficult or challenging about your weight loss that you’d need her support with?
