Down 125+ pounds! My story!

Ozempic was quicker off the blocks for me too - got some early movement that mounjaro took longer to show. But the mounjaro results at 6 months looked noticeably different even without the scale matching it. The body composition shift is real and doesn't always track the numbers.

Sure, but I need something stronger. Maybe stepping up to 5mg would help more. Kicked off at 217 back in March, tried going solo and only managed to drop 2kg down to 215, but after three months I switched to mounjaro and dropped 3.75kg in just three weeks. Just excited to finally see myself under 200kg.

A doctor's script is required before Mounjaro can be obtained.

My suggestion would be restarting properly, 2.5mg across four weeks then bumping to 5mg until you hit a wall, and generally it's not advised to push the dose higher once it's already working well.

Similar profile to yours here, 29M, 173cm, started my journey at 107kg. Overhauled everything from diet to exercise but still stalled at 96kg for a year and a half straight. Broke through by starting Mounjaro late April 2026, and woke up at a fresh low of 82kg this morning

Stay committed, follow the plan properly, eat enough protein and fiber, and push your body physically to whatever degree you're capable of.

If it's really that rough for you, bumping the dose makes sense to me.

Like you, I went with a custom titration, 2.5mg, 3.75mg, then 5mg, spending roughly 8-10 weeks on each level. That smaller 1.25mg jump worked fine for me, but if that's not cutting it for you, nothing to be embarrassed about. Mounjaro's meant to be adjusted until you land on whatever setup actually suits you.

You mentioned weekends hitting hardest. What day do you actually inject? I go with Thursday nights so the medication peaks right over the weekend, giving extra backup when I've got more free time around. My lowest levels then fall midweek when work keeps me distracted and helps me stay on top of calories.

You need more exercise, especially heavy lifting. I'm close to sixty, my intake is about 1600 cal, and I'm down three kilos, 70 to 67, on maintenance 5mg, which I credit entirely to lifting. I wouldn't quit Mounjaro with the eating and exercise you have now. The weight will likely return. Best of luck.

im at 103lbs now, two months into mounjaro at 2.5mg, started at 120. what works for me is eating one solid balanced meal a day and loading up on protein to stay full through the rest of the day. and dont skip on water, i toss in a pinch of pink himalayan salt for the electrolytes too

3.5 years of Mounjaro so far. Im about 15 lbs heavier than my ideal weight and have sat here for 1.5 years. Stopping is off the table for me. Whenever I skip two weeks while travelling (my trips are multi-day hikes, 10 days walking 15-20 miles daily) the weight returns immediately, same as twice before, pre-drugs, when I lost a huge amount, however hard I trained and starved. Why? Obesity counts as a disease, and willpower, gym time or eating less wont cure it. Someone who isnt naturally obese and only wants to shed baby weight can certainly come off. Yet for the majority taking it, the goal is treating a disease, not the number.

My husband started Mounjaro 2 years ago. 118 lbs came off him, and he eased down from the top dose to zero. Over the last three months he's held onto smaller meals and extra workouts and dropped 9 more lbs. May was my start, and having him around for tips when things go sideways is a relief.

15mg currently, started around 309, down to 206, about 103 gone. 73, 6'1, on mounjaro since this past January. My results went differently though. Three months back the person managing my weight loss said I was done losing, reasoning that my age called for some reserve. Still toying with dropping another 7 pounds to hit a number I haven't seen since high school, but if that doesn't happen, so be it, life's dramatically better regardless, aside from staying perpetually cold now, which I just dress around. Staying hydrated, roughly 80 to 90 ounces daily, light resistance training daily, sticking to around 2000 calories with the occasional splurge, consistent with other prescriptions too. That reasoning sounds off to me, not every diabetic drops huge numbers, but most see some movement.
