You go girl, that's awesome!

Still working through recovery from a spine fracture that knocked me out and had me stress-eating like crazy. My type 2 spiraled, so mounjaro seems like the lifeline I need right now. You're doing amazing.

seems like going slow is the way to go based on what everyone's saying here. makes sense to not rush the dose increases if you don't need to - might as well take your time and actually enjoy the experience.

I've lost 35 pounds so far and have been on sema for about 5 weeks. I like a lower dose and feel like I can stay on it long-term, using it as a tool.

I've been on it since March 2024. Started at 197, current weight is 162. In October, I hit my lowest of 156, but then I suddenly stopped losing, and now I fluctuate between 157 to 162. I think I've plateaued.

I wish *all* insurance plans covered them! I may have to find a new, crappier job just to get coverage again!

Sorry for the dumb question, but could someone who's not a Canadian citizen buy this at a pharmacy there? I'm close to the border and worried about these crazy tariffs. This med has really changed my life, and I'm terrified of losing access and ending up basically bedridden.

Same starting point here with the same goal. You've got this! Congrats on the breakthrough.

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely prioritize weight lifting and chugging water!

Congratulations! 🙌 You look fantastic! ☺️ I'm just starting Mounjaro and worried about excess skin. Any tips on minimizing it?

I love following your journey and seeing your progress! Congrats! I'm down about 50 pounds, but it's still hard to fully grasp how different I look to others after being overweight for so long.

Thanks everyone for the advice and encouragement!

HawkGal That link is fantastic! Exactly what I needed. Thanks!

I don't think you were blunt at all, Bug_Gal. Solid advice.

Alright, so here's the sitch: I bought some tirzepatide powder probably 13 months ago, intending to mix it and start. Then life happened, and it's been chilling in its original packaging in my bedroom. I'm wondering if it's still okay to mix and use, or is it a lost cause after all this time...

Some testing has actually confirmed the zero-pep issue on certain kits, and a few folks here have noticed efficacy problems. A test group is being set up to get concrete answers soon.

Congrats, you're one of the lucky ones who respond really well to the medication and can stay on a low dose and still see results.

Looking fab! Did you change your diet or workout more?

Patch test any cream on a hidden spot first before putting it on your face. Mine's probably not pharma quality but honestly most animal meds come from the same suppliers anyway. Fish medications just don't get the attention.

I'm a shortie, 5'2", and started sema at close to 175 lbs in the summer of '24. Now I'm around 130 and about to stop taking it. It's been a wild ride, but I feel so much better! I'm hoping to keep it up as I wean off.
