Expect ups and downs for the first month or so. Just keep going while the medication builds up in your system.

I appreciate this, I've been feeling so down on myself. It's hard to remember that it's not just about willpower.

I must say I dropped close to 50 pounds but have gained back most of it. I'm back on it now, but the scale isn't moving. It feels like my body isn't responding as well as it did before. I may try tirzepatide.

I will gladly use these meds for the rest of my days just for the anti-inflammatory effects.

🎉🎉🎉👍🍀🍀🍀

You're looking superb. Congratulations 🎊

I'm always curious about what happens after people reach their goal weight and stop the meds. Anyone worried about regaining?

I was trying to figure out what 'AMAM' meant for longer than I'd like to admit. 🤦‍♀️

I needed to read this. Thank you for sharing! I've been working so hard, both with exercise and my diet, but the scale isn't cooperating. It's easy to get discouraged.

Thanks everyone for the support! It's good to know others have had similar experiences. I wanted to add, BigTex_LessNextYear, that I also felt like the initial lower dose was strong when restarting. I think our bodies get more sensitive after being on the higher doses for a while.

I feel like the opposite is happening to me!! I'm down 60 pounds, but I don't see it 🤦🏻‍♀️. I should have taken pics, but oh well, it is what it is lol

Awesome to hear!

Okay, I've been taking Mounjaro since spring of last year and have shed about 95lbs in 10 months. My dose was stable at 15mg because I'm managing type 2 diabetes. Everything was smooth sailing until about 3-4 months ago... then it just stopped. My A1C went bonkers and I've regained like 35...

I agree. You look like you shed 10 years!

For anyone just starting, don't get discouraged if it feels far away. Time will pass, so believe in yourself. I started taking it in May 2024, it was scary but so was being overweight. For the first time in a long time the food noise is quieter, I don’t hate my existence, and I can move.

You are not the same person! Congrats on all the success!

You might want to take it easy going up so fast. It takes time to build up. The starting dose for sema is 0.25 for 4 weeks. If you start losing, don't go up until you stop.

1. Some get bad side effects. I barely got any. The only side effect for me was constipation, but I have IBS so I needed it! 2. Some insurance won't pay, so check. If you can get the real deal, why not? My insurance didn't cover weight loss stuff, even though I have a family history of diabetes...

We need a Spider-Man for size comparison!! Great job

Fantastic!!!!
