6 lbs in first 2 weeks is a great start. Especially after losing 50lbs without it. Best of luck. I am currently on the lowest dose and having success so far.

Hi Cindy! It's my understanding that the side-effects get better as your body gets used to the drug. I hope that's the case for you! Good luck! You're having amazing progress!
Thank you for sharing, I just started Mounjaro yesterday, I too have 100 pds to lose. So here is the start of my journey AGAIN! LOL

Hi, Thank you for sharing your experiences on entering this weight loss journey. Like you my whole life has been a constant challenge battling weight loss and my weight has always fluctuated over the years. I started Mounjaro on the 24th September and this is Week 2 for me. I have lost 6 lbs so far. I feel great and this is the best thing I ever could have done. Since taking Mounjaro my appetite for sugary snacks and food in general has decreased dramatically! Before , I always needed dessert after dinner and I would eat late night time snacks after an evening workout. Now, I really don’t feel that urge to snack and can be satisfied with some fruit instead. It truly is amazing! I feel so much more in control of my life and happier since I cut down on sugar. Keep us all posted on your journey. I look forward to sharing your experiences. I am very lucky, no side effects at all so far. Mounjaro is really a game changer.

Thanks Shamy! I was really surprised with how this medication stopped the food noise in my head too! I'm so glad you're seeing such good results on Mounjaro.
Appreciate your vulnerability to share your story and take us along in your weight journey! I’m on a “Quest for Wellness” (makes it sound more exciting 😂) to lose 100 pounds myself! The last five years were trauma filled and the pounds just packed on. Excited to see your progress, it will help motivate me to keep going!

Thanks Julie! A Quest for Wellness is a great way to phase it! I'm not fond of a 'weightloss journey' myself. I may steal your term if that's OK with you. 😉 I'm glad I can be a source of motivation for you! We can do this!

Thank you for sharing this my story is similar to yours . I’ve been overweight since elementary, have always been on some sort of diet. As an adult I’ve lost about 66 pounds. Gained a little back and it seems like I can’t get past a certain weight. I am doing research on this medication but I am praying to start soon. Keep up the good work ❤

@@Page079 I am not type two diabetic, do you know if the coupon from the manufacturer’s website actually works ? Also I have anxiety so that’s kind of delaying my start process too. Any major side effects that seem debilitating? Or is it something a person could push through?
@Page079

I'm not diabetic either. The coupon does work but you need to have private insurance. They have added a check box when you go to download the coupon where you confirm you have T2D. I think it's more of a legal thing for liability as they cannot promote this drug for weightloss per FDA regulation. I have anxiety issues too. 🙂 Have you thought about anxiety medication? I started on Zoloft and it was a game changer for me. Other than some minor cramping that felt like pms. And some dry mouth when sleeping I haven't had any problems on the med! Hope this helps!

I am a type 2 diabetic and took my first shot last Tuesday. I lost 4 pounds this week and have had almost no side effects. My blood sugar has fallen thirty points I am hoping to lose 60 pounds and get off insulin.

Hi! Paige, Thanks for sharing your experience and congratulations. Today is my first day on the injection. Were you still hungry on day one? Just wondering how soon it kicked in for appetite suppressant in Week 1.

You have no reason to be scared! This med was really welk tolerated during the trials! Many people don't have any side effects, and the ones that do are just very vocal about it. 🙂

Saturday evening of week one...week two (shot day) starts Monday. Lost a couple of pounds. Not quite as hungry as before, but it's sort of hit and miss. Some days I'm hungrier. But it's just week one. Day 2 after first shot was awful for me. I don't throw up, not even during pregnancy, but I definitely did that day. Fortunately I got a prescription for Zofran and that helped. Have only taken 2 so far. VERY glad I have it PRIOR to shot 2. I'm extremely concerned that after this first month I won't be able to get another month of Mounjaro due to cost since the coupon is so restricted now. It's a little depressing as thst isn't what I need during the holidays. But for now I'm doing ok with it. Im not being super strict, eating when I am hungry and not eating when I'm not. Looking forward to seeing how week two goes. Best wishes to all who are on this journey. (Trying to lose 40)

@@Page079 Thanks so much! After a week and a day I'm down about 5 pounds, give or take. Definitely eating less, now I need to get moving more. I was on the go CONSTANTLY at my old job, now I'm just on my feet all day, but mostly in a very confined space. I actually work in a pharmacy. I'm not snacking all day long now so that's a really good thing. I have a problem with associating guilt to eating. It's hard, especially at 50, to break thst habit. Food is a necessity, not a luxury. I need to stop seeing it as the enemy. Best wishes to you!!
Good job and thank you for sharing. What is your height? I always like to know roughly how tall people are as it puts wait a little bit more into perspective… Just started this medication myself and I am about to take my second injection tomorrow or Wednesday. Looking to lose probably just 20 or 25 pounds so I think we are about the same. I am 5‘7“.

Hi. How much does the Mounjaro end up costing you after the coupon discount?

After the coupon it's $25/month. 🙂
Hello I am on week 3. I've lost about 12 pounds. I'm walking more. I had no appetite at first. Week 2 I started feeling hungry. I still can not eat much as I'm full faster. I had already started changing my diet to healthier foods. I don't completely stop all food groups because that's not realistic long term. I did cut out sweets and sugary drinks. I also tried not to overeat. I did not have many bad side effects on Mounjaro. I am thirsty and drink lots of water. I do feel dizzy and tired a little the day of injection. So far so good. 😊

Hello update. I lost 30 pounds during the short time I took Mounjaro. I had to stop the injections because I got really sick. It took my stomach weeks to get back right after stopping the medication. I'm trying not to go back to bad eating habits. It's a fight. I wish I could have tolerated the medication better.
Did you have to be a type 2 diabetic to get Mounjaro? I’m going to ask my Ob/Gyn on Monday ❤
@Page079
Жыл бұрын
You don't need to be Type 2 diabetic. I was prescribed this for off label use. GLP-1 meds have been shown to be very effective to help with weightloss. Eli Lilly is currently working in a study to get this drug approved for weightloss specifically. Per FDA regulation they cannot market this drug for anything other than what it has been approved for. But many doctors are already prescribing it for weightloss as it is their medical decision.
Did you stopped drinking alcohol too?
