7 months with basically no weight loss... I'm honestly heartbroken. Has anyone else gone through this?

Not sure what else to try. Started mounjaro back in October and dropped roughly fifty pounds quickly at first. Everything stalled around December, right after catching the flu threw my routine off, and my body's basically refused to budge since. Bouncing within a narrow range for months now. Currently at a higher dose now, having spent months at a lower strength with zero movement. Hunger's almost nonexistent. Calories stay fairly low already. Eating mediterranean style mostly from scratch. Racking up huge step counts daily chasing my three kids around. Tried lifting, cardio, better sleep, less stress, even eating more in case undereating was the culprit. Constantly sore, drained, honestly devastated. Hoped to feel confident heading into summer, instead months of doing everything right while the number refuses to budge. Curious if anyone's dealt with something similar, whether things picked up eventually, whether a dose bump helped. Dealing with pcos too, which doesn't help.
 
Same here. Nine months in with basically nothing lost. Doctor's kept me steady at 5mg though. Back for my appointment next month, fingers crossed for a bump. I'm 50, dealing with perimenopause, manage type 2 diabetes and take insulin. Got put on Mounjaro strictly for the diabetes side, not weight, but I'd genuinely love to shed 20-30 pounds too.
 
Didn't notice any real shift on the tracker until three months in, at a higher dose. A family member is running the same dose and still hasn't lost anything either.
 
Went a full 6 months without dropping anything. Was on 7.5 that whole stretch, not losing, not gaining. Then out of nowhere the weight started coming off again. Started at 260, sitting at 168 this morning. Planning 8 more pounds then stopping to just run Mounjaro for maintenance from there. Hang in there.
 
Money was a real worry going in, but honestly, I didn't drop even a single kilo across four months on mounjaro. Expensive lesson learned. Wegovy though, that actually got me 10% of my body weight gone in the same four months.
 
20 months in, dropped a ton at the start, then right around New Year's I stalled out for two months and my doctor switched me over to Mounjaro, but I've actually gained 10lbs since. He bumped the dose, though I've still got about two and a half months of 5mg Mounjaro left that I need to work through first.
