I’ve recently begun using Mounjaro for weight loss. This account is to provide a day by day update on my experience - the good & the bad. Hopefully what I share will come in handy for anyone thinking of trying it or those just setting out on the journey.
Haven’t posted in a while but huge positives to report. Been on an all-inclusive holiday. Enjoyed it tremendously and came home with a 1kg weight loss! Amazed as I felt I really upped my calories on holiday. But I needed to eat more and it led me to feel so much better.

I had my first serious ‘wobble’ yesterday at a music festival. I couldn’t face food, especially the fried fast food on offer. I had 3 chicken nuggets all day as well as 3 vodkas & coke. I felt so ill in the evening and it ruined the whole experience. I thought I’ve gone up a dose too soon

Had Chinese food-ate a lot less than I would have pre-Mounjaro but more than I have for weeks. Now I feel sick. I knew that battered fatty food would make me feel ill. I did it anyway. Food issues persist even when appetite is suppressed. There were healthy choices I could have made but didn’t.

After 13 weeks, my weight is down by 20kg. I’m feeling good on this new 7.5mg dose. Appetite is quite low but I’m trying to eat regularly and to get at least 1000 calories a day. Sometimes that’s a struggle. I’m feeling SO cold -esp my feet.

1lb away from 3 stone loss in 12 weeks. Very happy with that. Clothes fit better and my body feels ‘tighter’. Notice it when I put my hands on my hips. Still a long way to go but I’m feeling positive. Getting fitter too but still feels like my PT is trying to kill me!

Hit a plateau for the past week or so - maybe because I increased calorie intake to closer to 1400 cals. Down 1lb today so 39 lbs down in 12 weeks. Hopefully will continue to see the downward trend.

2 days away from the end of the 10th week on Mounjaro. Weight consistently decreasing - down 37lbs/16.9kg. 2-3 dress sizes down. Can see muscle development from gym work. Main struggle is one I could never have foreseen - I’m finding it hard to eat enough. I just don’t enjoy food anymore.

Start of week 10 - total weight loss so far: 35 lbs. Gone down 2 clothes sizes, feel the change in my body. Still have some way to go but I’m feeling very positive.

‘Mounjaro is cheating’ is a sentiment I don’t understand at all. If it is, is chemo for lung cancer ‘cheating’ too? In any case the hours I’m putting in at the gym doesn’t feel like cheating! Does Mounjaro make the eating side of weight loss easier? For me, a million times easier. But …

No loss this week. A few weeks ago I’d have been devastated but not now. Positive is I haven’t gained. I know I’m eating well and exercising so the results will come. There’s not a clock on it. Also exercising so much more than before can lead to inflammation & water retention & it’ll settle.

I’ve realised that not consuming enough calories is a terrible idea. I’ve been so tired and irritable and spoke to a professional who explained I’m past weight loss and into systems starting to shut down. Great advice and a good jolt to making sure I’m eating good food regularly.

Week 8: jab 8, 5mg. No weight change since 4 days ago but the trend is downward so this doesn’t bother me. I’ve been doing 3 long walks a week, going to the gym and staying well within my calorie allowance so I’m hopeful it will happen.

I committed to sharing the good & bad of this journey so I’m fessing up to some solid gold stupidity today. I decided to up my calories so went out for breakfast with friends and enjoyed waffle, bacon & syrup. Delicious. About 800 calories. More than I’ve had in a whole day for the past 6.5 weeks.

On my mind today: appetite. I’m in my 7th week on Mounjaro and my appetite for food is virtually zero. I have to psych myself up to eat anything. I know it’s important to keep the calories up but it’s challenging as I have no desire for food. 1/2

Will be taking my 7th Mounjaro shot tomorrow and looking forward to weighing in day as I feel the difference in my body. Most of the side effects have disappeared and I still find it much easier to not overeat. Possibly still getting too few calories but I’m active & exercising a lot more.

End of 5th week: 9.8kg off (21 pounds). Took my 6th jab this morning. This week has been tough in terms of feeling sick. I feel I’m not really getting enough calories and although I have enough fuel to lose, I worry about how I maintain weight loss and stay healthy. Just going with if for now.

Day 2 after moving up to a 5mg dose of Mounjaro. I feel really ill. Stomach cramps, diarrhoea and nausea. Hoping this improves soon!

After feeling down yesterday about a slight increase in weight after 2 days - weighed myself today and was 1kg lower than yesterday morning. Fluctuations can mess with your head! Headline is - 17lbs down after 4 weeks. I’m so happy!

Had a bit of a psychological setback today. I weighed myself and was 0.3kg heavier than 2 days ago. I KNOW this is just natural fluctuation & I keep telling myself that. But it’s a blow. I’m trying so hard & being so good at staying away from processed & ‘bad’ foods. I know I need to be realistic.

Week 5: 1st dose at 5mg. Felt good up to a few mins ago where I had cramps and diarrhea. TMI I’m sure but I’ve committed to sharing the good & the bad!

A pair of jeans that were tight are now on the loose side. So I went for an early weigh-in this week. Delighted with the results so far. Just under 4 weeks into this journey and 16lbs off.

I said this last week but clearly ignored my own advice - it’s a bad idea to drink alcohol with Mounjaro. I felt so ill on a night out after a couple of drinks. Ended up being sick and I still feel very sick today. Just not worth it.

The early side effects I had have all gone now - mainly fatigue & nausea. They weren’t too bad and didn’t last too long. The fatigue was the worst but I feel so much more energetic now.
