I am diabetic and I haven't been able to start it due to the shortage. I have been diabetic over 25 years and I am also SUBSTANTIALLY overweight. However, I don't feel slighted. Do what you have to do to be healthier for you!

Look at this way your weight loss could prevent you from developing type 2 diabetes and needing medication in the future, so never feel bad, you're helping yourself stay healthy. I was type 2 and took Metformin and it was great, I lost weight by eating less and exercising and have been in remission for 2 years now but I really need to buck up my ideas, I'm starting to eat the wrong things again , so in the new year I'm restarting my healthy eating and exercise.

You’ve got this! I totally agree!!

Great Video Brittany ❤, YOU LOOK GREAT!!!!😍😍

Wow, congrats on your loss over the holidays! So glad you were able to get it. I have had similar comments on my video's and I just sent back a nice reply. This medication is amazing and I feel blessed to be able to take it. Like you, if that changes, I will deal with it then. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the update! 🌞🙏 I have mine but nervous to start 😬 waiting till next week.

Just took my first 5mg dose this week - no side effects! Except the good one - not hungry, ❤️❤️!! So glad this is working for me! And you!

So happy for you & your results! My insurance ended up denying everything :/ waiting to hear what my doctor says about an alternative for me. But I’m just glad to be back in the gym, I’ll get these regardless 💪🏻

Great information, thank you! New subscriber on week one of 2.5.

Thank unso much for thinking of us who have type 2 diabetes but ur also trying to prevent it from happening. My doctor prescribed the Mounjaro 10mg ... didn't even start me off slowly. I was supper scared cause I had a bad reaction to Ozempic 2mg . I will say I took it when I knew I was going to have a few days off and I'm glad I did !!!! The 10mg made my fibromyalgia flare up, I was on the sofa laying down cause I was unable to move. I did get a bit nauseous but I took a Zofran. The 1st week it took about 2 days for me to get to sleep normally . I took my 2nd dose and I slept normal. Good luck to u on thus journey!!!!

I switched to 11pm at night so I can sleep THAT night. Then I know I will have trouble sleeping next night for 2-3 nights. Insomnia has been my worse side effect. I had that icky, tired feeling first two weeks of 5mg as well. This last week I did it in my stomach as 5mg has been big stall for me. I mostly did thighs to avoid side effects. The scale finally moved this week by 3 pds! I am down 45.7pds now but 8.5 inches gone. I start 7.5mg this Thursday night and I will combine 2.5 & 5.0 to =7.5mg (Dr suggested it). So I have two boxes of each so for 2 monthes I will be on 7.5mg. I enjoyed your video. Thank you

There is no shortage. Pharmacist can compound it. Do not feel guilty for helping yourself. Thanks for sharing.

I started this drug 2 weeks before Thanksgiving and incorporated it with a keto diet. I’m not strict with the diet as most are but it helps my mindset when faced with the holiday food fest weeks. It’s been amazing but I did have a brief time where it seemed like I plateaued in the weight loss which just led me to tighten back up on my diet and now I feel like I’m back to losing again. We will have those rollercoaster moments but let’s stay strong and we’ll make it!! You’re doing great and you look fabulous!!

Doctors recommend the glycemic index and Mediterranean diet. I was told specifically not to do Keto because we need carbs. I used to do Keto and still am a pre-diabetic. Mine is genetic, though.

@@LissetteLissie - Genetics suck sometimes, don’t they? I start Mounjaro and strict Keto at the beginning of November with an A1C of 6.4 which hadn’t changed in the past 6 months before Nov. My glucose and BMI were just scary (and embarrassingly) high and that was when it (finally) hit me that I would end up with diabetes in 2023. So I chose Keto as a mindset as well as a good starter lifestyle change and I haven’t looked back. My A1C is now 5.6 and glucose sits at an average of 110. My BMI is still a work in progress but I have lost 30lbs since Nov. I agree that working with your Dr. is the smartest way to start any diet plan. Keto’s mindset just works for me and I have yet to have any issues. I’m also going through menopause and I am in a much better headspace than I was a year ago. But I won’t lie - I do cheat every now and then but I also adjust for those days. I will admit that I don’t get my calorie intake daily but that’s just because I don’t get hungry.

I was on Ozempic, worked good, loss 30lbs. Now I’ve been off since the beginning of this month bc they don’t have it. Hunger definitely comes back, so make sure this becomes a lifestyle change not just a diet. Sucks

My doctor told me to do it the same day. Not time. I do mine on Sunday's. I have 1 more injection of 5mg which I will be doing this Sunday. Did the 2.5mg & 5mg for 2 months. The 5mg curved my appetite A LOT I was forcing myself to eat. Was nervous to go upto 7.5mg last month because I probably would of been fasting for days 😆. However, I'm ready to go upto 7.5mg now. My doctor's appointment is next week Jan 10. I'm pre diabetic, insulin resistance & my blood pressure been elevated. My doctor prescribed Mounjaro to me because I fall under what they call "Metabolic Syndrome" I don't think it's selfish At ALL if its Preventing Us from Becoming a diabetic. I know people who are diabetic & seen the damage this disease can do. Please don't allow anybody negative comments make you feel bad for trying to be healthy. I'm sure if this drug was out before & those who are diabetic could of did something to prevent the disease they would have. Don't ever feel bad for taking control of your health. Your doctor prescribed it to you for a reason. Obesity is a Disease & most of the time is out of people's control. Even with exercise, diets or whatever. I struggled with my weight my WHOLE life was always 10 to 15 pds heavier than my peers. Not a snack eater, lazy or whatever else people try to say about people who are overweight/obese. I've done all kinds of diets, exercise programs, had trainers etc.. I was always still bigger than what the charts said my BMI & numbers should be for my height, age, weight etc... Add in having a child & other life changes. Diets & exercise that was done in the past no longer Worked. Insulin resistance is no joke. However, started my journey Sept 26, 2022 at 219.5 I'm 5'4 was 41yrs old at my start date. Today Jan 5, 2023 I'm now 42yrs old & I'm down 39.7pds weighing in at 179.8pds. That's amazing!, I'm proud of myself & So Grateful for this medication. I'm doing to work & Mounjaro is assisting. Not only is the scale going down but my blood pressure numbers has been lower each doctor visit as well. Looking forward to see where my a1c # will be when I redo my bloodwork this year. 39.7 down 30 more to go. Prevention & good health is my goal. I'm a single mom & I NEED to be here for my child as long as possible. Never feel bad for trying to be healthy & living your life to the best that you can. I know I won't.

I'm taking it because my A1c is high. I'm pre-diabetic. I haven't had an issue filling my prescription. Thank God. I guess it's best to get on it before you get to where I am, right? I'm on my second week of 5mg. On one month on the 2.5, my A1c went from 6.4 to 6.1. A Diabetes diagnosis starts at 6.5. I was one point away. My good cholesterol went up, and my bad cholesterol went down. I've lost like 6 pounds. I hear about so many people losing so much weight while I'm losing slowly. I wonder why I'm not losing as much. My hunger is almost gone, and when I do get hungry, I eat very little. I am trying, but I am still not losing like others.

Can you do intermittent fasting with Manjaro?

Hi Brittany, Great results! First, I do not think you are being selfish. I believe it can help people in so many ways. It can be used as a preventable measure from someone becoming a diabetic because of weight loss. I’ve been a T-2 diabetic for 18 years now. I just started Monjouro a month ago. 1st month was 2.5mg with no significant change…But I didn’t eat or exercise. I’m on week 5 now starting now 5 mg. Great video❤ PS I’m hoping for once this will be my miracle med to reduce blood sugar levels, get off some meds & of course lose weight. I will focus on eating better & exercise as well.

I am a diabetic and on Mounjaro and am overweight as well. YOU ARE NOT BEING SELFISH FOR USING MOUNJARO FOR WEIGHT REDUCTION! Being overweight is a health issue with its own concerns and if Mounjaro helps you address and reduce those issues then more power to you.
