Nope, we're keeping it at 5mg, still weekly. What scared me most was regaining after dropping from 12.5 straight to 5mg. The first week brought some tummy trouble and food noise, then it's been smooth sailing. I'd reached my goal weight and my doctor was on board with moving to maintenance.

Forum talk and the trial results are often pretty different. Around here it's mostly the smallest dose that does the job, for losing and for keeping it off. That cuts side effects but also caps the benefits, and it leads to constant posts asking why a tiny dose isn't cutting it. I think the...

That's amazing, for me mounjaro finally quieted my brain down enough that I could actually hear myself and understand what I need. Down around 150 pounds, and best of all it reshaped my whole relationship with food. Food's no longer running the show, just playing a supporting role now. Got my...

Crossed the two-year mark just as May wrapped up. Sitting at 12.5 right now, roughly 3 lbs shy of my target, though I'd honestly like to lose another 10 past that. Taking in a little more food these days, but moving my body way more too, focused on building muscle. Three months now at the 12.5...

Started back in August of last year. Only bumped the dose whenever suppression faded. Reached 10mg and it's held steady for over a year now without needing to go higher. Roughly 20 pounds left before goal. Probably sticking with Mounjaro long term, costs nothing out of pocket since the...

On my third week now, so just speaking from my own limited experience here. Starting a workout routine can feel rough if you're not used to it, so ease in gradually and prioritize hitting your daily steps. Any movement beats none at all. Been keeping that mindset myself.

Then there might even be a backup option available if a switch becomes necessary down the line should progress stall. That said, the current combo should cover things fine, assuming that ever becomes relevant at all.

Just three weeks deep, so your system's still settling in. Plenty of folks say they get pulled toward pop or sugary stuff right before the week wraps up.

Seems fairly interesting when combined with testosterone therapy, curious if anyone's actually tried this combo before. Potential side effects sound somewhat concerning though.

Pretty sure I'm in that same boat, just hit month three and have been stalled since month two, probably need to add more movement into the mix.

Running fairly high doses of this medication class, and even three hours post-meal there's still that lingering full stomach feeling, or so it seems. Trying to avoid spiking insulin or dampening natural hormone release, so mornings work best for now.

Not even at an actual therapeutic dose yet honestly. Easing in is the whole point of the process. Give it time, what's happening here sounds completely normal, this exact scenario shows up constantly among folks who eventually dropped 100 pounds.

Going to look into beta blockers, appreciate the suggestion and info! Was on an antidepressant as a teen and missing even one day made me feel awful, so I get exactly what you mean. Steering clear of ssris this time around.

Please talk to your medical team about this as soon as you can. They might end up supporting the idea of you starting a GLP-1 down the line, but what you're currently doing sounds genuinely unhealthy.

Tracking and maintaining a routine before optimizing the content of the routine is the right sequence. The OP noticing how much better exercise feels on these meds is exactly the opening for building that structure. Calorie deficit too aggressive for too long is the other thing that shows up -...
