Hi, as somebody who is using MJ for some regain but has maintained around 80lbs of my original 120 lb plus loss from bariatric surgery, I have spent the time to research what works for me and to understand the science. Eating higher calories one or two days per week works really well. It isn’t a cheat day though. Coaches, others, and I call it a maintenance day or reverse dieting to combat metabolic adaptation. The key is to not go over maintenance calories. Because I also have a hard time eating enough, I choose higher calorie foods on the day or two before my shot. On Eli Lilly’s investor call last week, they said that 7.5 mg will be back on shelves next week, but they are anticipating a shortage of 5 mg. They did not anticipate so many people staying on 5 because it had the least results in the Surmount study. Something to consider.

I like that your doing real food , not all that fat free sugar free stuff that’s full of stuff that’s not healthy , real foods are the key , great progress!

Me and you are exactly a week apart I'm on the 5mg too just took my second week shot Sat I've lost 28 pounds so far I'm on a very strict diet pounds are dropping 😊😊😊😊 congratulations on your weight loss too

I am so proud of you!!

You are doing so well!!!! You look great, very beautiful and I bet you have more energy! Best to you and keep safe!

Congrats on your results!

It’s strange how for me the 2 times that I did my shots in my right thigh, I felt those weeks like I never took a shot (even though I know the injection worked). When I do it in the stomach, either side, it works great. Taking my 2nd shot of 10mg Tuesday. 🤞

Thanks for the update! Glad all is going well🙏 Going to start mounjaro soon and your vids have been so helpful to me🌞

Thank you! I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas!

I take my 7th shot on Tuesday I’ve only lost 10 pounds 22 pounds is awesome weight loss ❤

Your are one week ahead of me. I do Thursdays also and it will be 3rd shot of 5mg on 22nd. I had a tummy tuck also but way back a few years after I had twins in 1994. My biggest problem is insomnia. Last week I waited until 10pm to inject and that worked better for sleep that night. Usually 2nd & 3rd nights are no sleep. I have lost about 20 pds since mid Octobers HW. Seems to have stalled a bit but I am not eating as much as I should, need to correct that. Love your food tips. Keep up the good work!

You look incredible. The difference between the start and finish is noticeable. Makes me stoked to start.

Thank you!’

So glad I found this. I just upped to 5mg. And have been tired and have had heartburn and sulfury smelling burps. I am going to try to not not weight every day. I gained weight the first 24 to 48 also but then just drop. I think I have not been taking enough water. I am a diet soda person and have been weaning off of it. Carbonations is not my friend. Thanks for doing this.

You need protein/fuel or your body holds on to what it gets because it needs nourishment. I’m not counting calories but avoid carbs such as tortillas as much as possible and yes when you eat more protein you will end up losing more weight. You also want to maintain as much muscle as possible and protein helps with that.

Thank you 🙏🏾

This is a real amazing game changing medication! I am another content creator doing my reviews on Mounjaro. Down 300-195 at 15mg! Keep it up!

My doctor put it in a very interesting light to me. She said that in the same way medication helps people with blood pressure or cholesterol, sometimes keeping weight off, needs a medication as well. I truly believe that in addition to eating healthy some thing else is needed, for me. And yes, this looks like it’s going to work for me. I can’t wait to see what happens after I go to 5.

I have a chocolate lab too named Stella. She is my heart! They are such great dogs!

I just finished my first week and had lost 8.5 but the last two days I went over board on eating. Not because I was hungry, just stress eating peanut butter and honey 😮so I ended the week with only a 6.1 loss which is still something to celebrate 🎉and I know the rest of the weeks will be much less.

I’m curious how you were able to do that. I’ll even say I’m going to have a cheat meal, and then just can’t eat very much if it

We did so much with the parties as well, felt like I was constantly running back & forth lol

Hi , I just started the injection a week ago and I hope that I have successfully lost some weight.

Hi Brittany I’m happy for you 😊 to get the results you want You know Brittany I’m thinking about starting mounjaro but I’m little scared of its sides effects I’m going to talk with my doctor and ask her if it’s a good idea I’ve been struggling with my weight since my 3 pregnancies each one I gained about 20 to 30lbs after 3 pregnancies I’m 60lbs 😢😢😢overweight I tried working out dieting the results are discouraging that why I’m thinking to give it a try what do you think???

I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m going to be starting mounjaro in two weeks. I’ve been doing keto and I plan to stay on keto while I do it but I am concerned about the risk of hypoglycemia. Is that a concern doing keto with mounjaro?

@Brittanylosing

Жыл бұрын

I think that’s a risk with keto in general, and the Mounjaro may make it more likely to happen. I’d talk to your doctor about it for sure!

I should be starting 5.0 this weekend, but it's impossible to get, by me. My DR offered 10, and I declined - back to 2.5. I know it's double the dose, but do you feel 2.5 was still worth sticking around for?

You definitely won't gain weight only eating an extra few hundred calories. It takes an additional 3500 calories to gain a pound. You could probably could eat 1500-1600 and still lose weight.

My Gastro told me to not eat veggies with skin on it and not to eat veggies raw while on Mounjaro. I’m going to be starting this wk bc of Diabetes and hoping to loose a little weight.

I'm anxiously waiting on an update...

@Brittany Rose: Awesome! I started the week u did.

I just took my first dose of 5mg yesterday Friday 12/16 and I had the same issue with not sleeping. This is why I follow you and your journey. You share your experiences with Mounjaro and it helps me not to feel alone with my symptoms. Keep up the great work! SW 11-18 - 218.6 CW 12-16 - 200.6

I've been on monjaro for 13 weeks and only lost 10 pounds. I also had 2 weight loss surgeries and didn't lose much with them either. 😔

When refilling the prescription does it automatically go to 5mg or do we have to ask the pharmacist to go up to 5mg?

Yes, I am. After speaking with my Doctor, we’ve decided To just stay on it for the time being. He presented me with a ton of data that backs up its safety. It essentially is adderall, it’s in the same class. And people take that forever. (I’m referring to people who take it the right way, lol)

I never hear you update ypur weight loss just symptoms and issues. Am i missing it?

I was told the coupons expired in mid November. I paid like $540 for 4 injections.

@Brittanylosing

So yes, on November 11th they changed the way the coupon works. If you had activated a coupon prior to the 11th, it still works. If not, then I believe it covers 500$ a month.

For those who are like me and who just want to hear the main point about weight loss, go to 10:28. You are welcome! Mamma mia!

Don’t eat if you aren’t hungry

It seems the main focus here from you and the comments is how much did one lose? No info on eating no info exercises no info glucose level…. These are crucial info way beyond weight loss only
