Down 125+ pounds! My story!

I'm not taking Mounjaro anymore; haven't been for a bit. I stopped being consistent around July '24, and completely stopped in the autumn. I reached the max dose of 15 mg.

The biggest thing in losing the weight and KEEPING it off was changing my whole lifestyle. I had already started exercising BEFORE starting Mounjaro and upped it when I started the injections. I began with a bike at home and Apple Fitness+. Then I started going to the gym and doing weightlifting and strength exercises.

I made HUGE changes to how I eat. I was consistent with eating right and exercising. I was in the gym somewhere between 3 and 7 days a week - either a full workout or even just 20 mins on the bike at home.

I haven't gained any pounds since stopping Mounjaro. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the past, so insurance approval wasn't a problem.

MAKE SURE YOU TRACK YOUR PROGRESS WITH PICTURES! The photos really motivated me. My weight on the scale would bounce around (water, muscle building, constipation, etc), but my weekly photos showed my progress, from slight changes to major ones!

You can do it! It takes time, patience, honesty, real change, being consistent, and determination. Give yourself some grace along the way too! I hope sharing my story encourages someone!
 
Your transparency IS helpful! (definitely to ME!)

What a great story, and what a transformation! You must be incredibly proud. I'm proud for you, even though I don't know you!

Congratulations on your weight loss and engagement!
 
How long were you taking 15mg? I'm doing similar stuff as you, like weight training and healthy eating. I've dropped 85 pounds in exactly a year, but the last 25 are super hard to lose, any advice? You look amazing, btw.
 
Congratulations! That's such an amazing transformation! I have a weekly email newsletter where I highlight success stories. Would you be willing to let me feature you in an upcoming issue?

I was at 15mg for maybe 4-5 months? For those last pounds, maybe change up your workout? Or try intermittent fasting if you aren't already? Good luck!
 
I'm down from 240 to 162, but put 13 back on, and have been struggling between 175 and 180 for a year. I need to get my head straight.

Thanks! I'll try switching up the workouts. I'm already doing some fasting!
 
Wow. Seeing these before and after pics is really inspiring. I still feel like the "before me" even after losing a bunch of weight. It's a head trip!
 
Ran it as a nasal spray for a week. Started at 2 squirts per side (100mcg each, 400 total) once a day—nothing. Doubled to 4 each side (800 total)—still zero. Thinking it might be one of those where you either respond or you don't. GLP-1s hit different, everyone feels something.
