The first dose anxiety is real and almost always worse than the actual experience - most people find the mental barrier was the hard part once they've done it.

Trials need a floor dose that moves the needle - 2.5mg was that threshold.

Still working at 2.5mg after 5 months is the unusual end of the response curve - most see the suppression floor drop by now. If food isn't appetizing without restricting consciously, the GLP-1 is doing more than the dose typically suggests. The case for staying is real.

Thanks for all the quick feedback everyone! Seems like the consensus is to start making the changes now, even if I don't feel much from the shot yet. And also that 2.5mg is a pretty low dose and I should expect more when I go up. SnackSet that's a good point about the water. I'll ask my doc...

Hey everyone, I'm brand new to this. I'm a 52 year old male, 5'11", currently weigh 302, and have type 2 diabetes. I start my third shot of 2.5mg tomorrow. So far, I mainly feel really full, have some heartburn, and I've been burping a lot late in the day on weekends. I haven't changed much of...

Thanks all! Lou, on 12.5mg the main thing is some constipation. Gotta stay on top of the hydration and fiber!

You look great man

Omg is that a cat?! Oh and congratulations on your weight loss journey!!

Cheers!

Down 14 pounds -- a whole stone! Been on this journey for about two years, and 5.5 stone of that has been since I started Mounjaro around April. Currently taking 12.5mg. Aiming for about 1300 calories a day, really focusing on protein. I'm trying to run a few times weekly, plus swimming and some...

That's sick, dude. You look great 👍

That's incredible, what a transformation!

I thought I was kinda strong until I saw a pole fitness performance. Much respect, because my forty-something, 350+lb body could never.

You look so happy, it's wonderful to see! :)

That's an incredible change! Congratulations!

I took Ozempic and Mounjaro for weight loss (down 260+ pounds!) and it totally stopped my Lymphedema flares. As long as I take it, they're GONE! No more sudden fluid gains. It's been miraculous. My Lymphedema was awful, and now it's been over 2 years flare-free. I'm so happy you've found...

I've been on it for 6 months, pretty consistent results. Started at 244lbs, now I'm around 214. 1800 cals, lots of chicken and salad. It's working!

Great job!

Hey, for those using injectable pens, what do you all do with your used needles? I'm just curious. A lot of people just toss them out. I know there are ways to dispose of them safely and legally. What do you actually do? Drop box? Mail-back kit? Or just… the trash?

That's an interesting thought. I wonder if cycling off of it for a bit would help.
