I, too, am on Mounjaro. Went from 230 to 190 in about 3 to 4 months. I suspect I am just maintaining now too. I'm on the lowest dose. I wonder if I should ask to go up a dose to try and get to 160. I'm just under 5'8" ...

I'd ask.  I didn't see any issues with going from 2.5 to 5 as far as side effects.  Congrats on dropping down 40 lbs in short time!

Mounjaro sounds like what you'd call Mount Kilimanjaro if you're drunk.

An update on my weight loss journey. I started Mounjaro on 20 January. I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 4.4 kgs. I’m pleased with that.

Over the last three years, I dropped 4inches in my waist and added a lot of muscle.   In the last few weeks, I gained 10!   My core diet and exercise routines are unchanged.   My only rationale is that I haven’t been diligent in avoiding gluten which triggers an inflammatory response.

So, I’m recommitting to clean eating AND got my first Ozempic shot yesterday - after consulting with my Dr - to see if I can resync the trend.  He recommends Mountjaro, but didn’t have a sample on hand.  So we will go that route if I tolerate the ozempic

I've been on Mounjaro for nearly a year and , please be careful with the dosage. While I did lose the weight, the side effects were way more than I bargained for. I dealt with some severe stomach issues that just wouldn't go away even after I stopped taking it.

To resolve this issue from a legal standpoint, I have been connected with GLP-1 Drug Lawsuits after my doctor admitted the drug caused permanent digestive damage. It’s a lot to handle, so just make sure you’re talking through all the long-term risks with your doctor before you start, especially if you have a sensitive stomach.

My brother a diabetic who needed to lose weight was fine until 7.5 and then the shit hit the fan and everywhere else.  He could not leave his house for more than two weeks and he was off the medication for another month.  In that time he regained the 30 pounds he had lost. 

A family member had a similar reaction when raising her dose of Mounjaro. She’s now back on ozempic (which she had been on first) but it’s not really impacting her appetite or helping her lose weight.

An update. I weighed myself this morning and since 20 January I have lost 6.2 kgs!
