Coming off with maintained results is the goal the medication is supposed to set up, not the exception - the people who transition off successfully are typically the ones where appetite recalibration and portion habits locked in during the treatment window.

Eating small meals every few hours, instead of one or two big meals, has been the best way to speed up my metabolism. Mounjaro also makes you feel full faster and slows down digestion, so you naturally eat less.

It's DEFINITELY helped my metabolism. I had a gastric bypass years ago, which restricted how much I could eat, but I didn't lose that much weight. On Mounjaro, I've lost around 70 lbs in about 8 months eating the same amount.

Congrats! You look amazing!

Don't get discouraged! Everyone's journey is different. I've only lost about 40 since April. It's easy to feel like you're not doing enough, but progress is progress!

Huge congratulations by the way!

You're looking fantastic! That dress is way too big now! Time for a shopping trip!

You look fantastic no matter what! But I'm really thrilled for you and your progress. I know how much it all means.

I'm so ready for my next dose! I'm at 205, and my weight loss has slowed to about 2 pounds a month.

You're killing it! Congrats!

That's amazing! I haven't seen a number that low in probably 2 decades. Yesterday I saw 298 on the scale and I was over the moon.

So far, I have only experienced benefits. The BPC/TB stack has been great for my elbow and lower back pain.
