Mounjaro, 9 months in!

[ThinLizzie]

Started at 420 lbs back on January 5th. As of September 5th, I'm at 259.5 lbs.

I've been holding steady on 7.5mg, and I'm down about 160 pounds. It's been quite a ride! I'm so grateful I started this medication, and even more grateful that it's working for me.

I was mortified by how I looked in my wedding photos. Mentally, I still think of myself that way. It's only when I take a new photo and compare that I see how far I've come.

Don't give up on becoming a better version of yourself!

What's your exercise routine like and what's your daily caloric intake?

Good stuff, dude.

You're looking great!

You look fantastic no matter what! But I'm really thrilled for you and your progress. I know how much it all means.

I kicked things off in Jan 2025, so around 8 months ago. I'm on 12.5mg and only down 41 lbs. Started at 259, and now I'm at 218. My goal is 180-185lbs by 2026, but I don't think I'll make it. Maybe by next spring.

Congrats! Your success must involve more than just Mounjaro. Keep it going!

I began Mounjaro in December at 210 lbs and an A1c of 7.4. Now I'm at 175 lbs and an A1c of 5.2.

I've stuck with a 5mg dose and don't intend to increase it unless I start gaining weight again.

Excellent work!! Wow! Your significant other must be very proud and happy for a healthier you! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Who are you even?! (lol) Huge congrats!

Congratulations. Such an achievement. Keep up the great work.

Mj is fantastic. I agree. I didn’t have as much to lose as you did but I dropped 50 lbs. I was hoping for at least 25 and got so much more.

My glucose levels are stabilizing and I’ve been able to reduce my insulin. Hopefully I can eliminate one of them.

Best of luck with continued success!!

Good on ya, mate. Looking good.

Right on! It's tough, but sticking with it pays off big time. I've been on Oz since last November. Started around 232, now I'm under 200 – 199.6 to be exact! Feels amazing.

That's fantastic! Losing weight can be so beneficial for overall health. What kind of improvements have you noticed?

Don't get discouraged! Everyone's journey is different. I've only lost about 40 since April. It's easy to feel like you're not doing enough, but progress is progress!

Thanks so much! It means a lot to hear that! This whole journey has been a rollercoaster, but I feel like I'm finally on the right track!
