Halfway is where the rate almost always slows, but it's also where the visible changes start catching up to the numbers.

0.25mg is for tolerability, not effect. Most feel it at 0.5 to 1.0mg.

One year on Mounjaro with a before shot that makes you laugh is the milestone that tells you how far the internal perspective shifted. The scale number is just part of it.

Massive congratulations on your progress!!

I totally get what you mean, Gym_Story. I still have trouble seeing the difference in the mirror some days too! It's like my brain hasn't caught up yet.

Massive congrats! You're looking awesome, and I bet you're feeling healthier too!

I'm scared about potential long-term stomach problems, like KelsK6 said. I'm trying to listen to my body and not push it too hard, but it's still a worry.

Make sure you inject it correctly, and you'll be on your way.

Thanks so much!

The constant thoughts about food ease up, but they don't totally disappear. I don't binge until I'm in pain anymore, which is a major improvement. I felt really sick at the gym when I first started, especially with high-intensity stuff like the stair climber. That stopped after a month or so...

Pic 1: Me before ANY weight loss - 270ish pounds. Pic 2: Before starting the meds, after losing close to eighty pounds on my own - 190-200 lbs. Pics 3 & 4: Me now! About 7 months on the medication (I'm on 7.5 mg currently) - 155-160 lbs. My ultimate goal weight is around 145, but I'm not sure...

I've heard that the muscle loss might actually be fat *inside* the muscle. And people aren't losing strength, which is a good sign. We need more research, but it might be true.

Tariffs on meds?! Oh no! I'm just starting out and was so excited. I hope I can still afford it...

Wow, I'm seeing this everywhere! It's like a miracle cure, so exciting!
