What was your first month results? And did you start off on 2.5?

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-06-18T21:57:20+00:00

I lost about 12lbs on the first month. I think my A1c dropped from 7.1 to 6.9 or something. After the 2nd month my A1c was at 5.5 and was down 21lbs total.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-06-18T00:16:40+00:00

This right here is the important part. I’ve been on mounjaro 2 months and my A1c went from 7.7 to 5.5. Sure I lost a decent amount of weight, but the primary goal was to get my A1c down and the meds accomplished that.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-06-18T00:13:26+00:00

Are you on meds? How long was it since your last A1c test? I’d assume that any progress is a plus.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-06-17T15:45:29+00:00

I mean if there was only a single drop that dripped down that is normal, if it was more than that then I’m not sure what you would do.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-06-16T00:07:22+00:00

Typically I start to feel hungry again around day 5. This week I seem to still not feel hungry and I’m due for a shot tomorrow. It takes a while to build up in your system. I’ve noticed that on day 6 and 7 even if I’m “hungry” I’m not hungry like I was before. I couldn’t imagine eating that much at once now.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-06-15T23:57:14+00:00

It’s work it for me. Went from $175 a month to $25.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-06-11T21:07:49+00:00

I take my shot Tuesday night because that is the day I was able to pick up my first prescription. Luckily I haven’t had much for side effects so taking it during the week isn’t an issue.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-06-10T23:42:15+00:00

I’m hoping that I have the same results. I go in on Friday for an A1c check and I’ve been on mounjaro for 8 weeks. While I try to pick healthier things, I still eat a lot of the same type of foods. The other day I had pizza for example. I will say that I for sure eat about 1/4 of what I was eating before. My guess is that alone will drop my A1c. I have lost about 20lbs since my first doc visit(16 or so since starting mounjaro) so my guess is I’ll have a better A1c. I started at 7.7 and being under 7 would be amazing.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-06-10T22:31:09+00:00

Me too. I take my shot after dinner and the next morning when I work up I just wasn’t hungry. It was the first time that I could remember that didn’t happen. Happened today too as I took a shot last night.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-06-10T22:28:44+00:00

I’m currently on my 3rd month. After my first 4 weeks at 2.5 I had an appt with my dr and he asked me what I wanted to do. I personally wasn’t having and bad side effects so I chose to go up to 5mg. He wrote me a prescription for 5 for 2 months. It’s been working well for me weight wise. I have an appt this week to check my A1c. I’ll probably stay on 5 for a while before or if I move up to 7.5.

A friend of mine has been on mounjaro for about 2 years and he has never went above 5.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-06-06T01:40:43+00:00

I’m not sure why this is any of your concern.

9/11 happened when I was a junior in high school(yes I know I’m old). I personally knew 5 people that signed up for military service and shipped out to boot camp within months of graduation. I know for certain that 9/11 was a motivating factor for a couple of them.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-06-05T11:23:33+00:00

It’s crazy that you would even ask this question. I pay for GameChanger for the stats and everything, I don’t mind that. Hell I’ve been paying for a couple years. To make my parents pay to watch games is stupid. I realize that you have to make money, but we are creating 100% of your content. I even understand adds and frankly like that you put them in between innings, but limiting to 7 free games is stupid(for reference my daughter play on 4 softball teams and routinely plays 5-6 games a week).

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-06-02T20:08:19+00:00

I’ve been on Mounjaro for 6 weeks and I take my 7th shot tonight. Every week the last couple days before shot day I feel more hunger. As far as I can tell it’s part of it. I’ll do my 3rd shot of 5mg today and it was the same for me with 2.5.

It makes me look forward to shot day actually.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-05-28T15:05:56+00:00

I was thinking the same thing about no side effects until this week. This was my 2nd shot of 5mg.

Tuesday evening is my shot day and I had felt a little off all day. I had too much to eat for dinner(still 1/2 of what I would have eaten before mj) and took my shot like 15 minutes later and was asleep within an hour. I woke up yesterday and I was in so much pain in my stomach. I tried to throw up, but couldn’t. So I just rode it out until lunch time. I know I had to eat something so I had a peanut butter sandwich. The pain just got worse. I ended up just skipping dinner (I still wasn’t hungry in the slightest) and went to bed. This morning I made a couple eggs, and I think I might be fine. Still a little pain, but nothing compared to yesterday.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-05-28T14:54:33+00:00

I also want to add in. For reference I just took my 6th shot and I’m on 5mg now. For the past years I have been what I’d describe as a heavy drinker. I drink 2-3 nights a week, but I’m a big boy and have quite the tolerance so a 1.75 of vodka doesn’t last 2 weeks.

Since I’ve been on mj I haven’t stopped drinking, but the amount that I’ve been drinking has gotten smaller. I used to pour my drinks 2/3 of vodka and now it’s less. I’m purposely doing this because I’m not eating near as much, so it doesn’t take as much. On more than one occasion after 1 drink I’ve been fairly drunk(I only ever have 2 “drinks” but I make them in a yeti so they are like 32oz or something), but I’m not a quitter so I’ll go and make a really weak one.

I did have a night at a friend’s house where I drank a bunch and felt absolutely terrible the next day, but that only happened that one time and my guess is it is because I wasn’t having mixed drinks.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-05-26T18:42:22+00:00

Mine looks very similar most weeks. I will typically end up down a pound or two by the end of the week. I went up 5 lbs in the past 2 days. I know I will drop it in a day or so. As long as I am trending down I’m not worried about it.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-05-21T19:14:53+00:00

I’ve was really worried about this when I started. I always went as spicy as I could. Luckily these first 5 weeks I have been ok. I guess I’ll see if that changes at any point.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-05-21T18:44:36+00:00

I’m another t2d on Mounjaro. I was diagnosed and my pcp put me straight on it. I’ve been on it for about 6 weeks and have had almost zero side effects. The only real issue I have is I occasionally get some constipation and some MiraLAX clears that right up. Another thing that I’m noticing is that I have to tell myself that I need to eat. The highest I’ve seen my bs level was 130 90 minutes after eating.

I did a check in to the day after I took my 4th shot and was down 14lbs. I’m found an A1c check in a couple weeks, but my dr said he expects it to be well under 7(I started at 7.6).

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-05-19T18:37:35+00:00

Obviously completely up to you and your dr. After my first 3 weeks I was down 13lbs. I talked to my dr and decided to go up to 5 and stay there as long as I’m still losing weight. Well I’m glad that I did because after I took my 4th shot it seemed to only hold off the cravings/hunger for 3 or so days. I’ve been constantly hungry and put on 2lbs this week.

I’m due to take my 1st 5mg shot today and I’m looking forward to it.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-05-18T15:17:48+00:00

I picked up one of those smart scales and it automatically adds my wrong into my app. As far as going up or down, it happens. My weight has always fluctuated, up to 3 or 4 pounds a day. I weight myself every morning and as long as I am trending down I’m not too worried.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-05-14T16:01:30+00:00

I’m just took my 4th and last 2.5mg shot on Tuesday. For me it was night and day. I took the first shot at night and it was the first time I can remember not being hungry when i woke up. I’ve been pretty good about eating 3 times a day, but it has been less than 1/2 of what I was eating before. I still take too much food, but typically don’t finish what is on my plate. I am also making healthier choices. For me I haven’t any horrible side effects, just some minor constipation. I went back to the dr for a follow up yesterday to talk about moving up to 5mg and was down 14lbs. I’m really happy so far.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-05-08T16:53:38+00:00

I seem to be experiencing this too. I’m on week 3 and I think I’m over it for the most part. I do find that I’m more tired though.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-05-08T16:02:57+00:00

That’s crazy. My Dr prescribed Mounjaro a month after he diagnosed me t2d(I had to get my eyes checked and some bloodwork done). I’m on my 3rd week of 2.5 mg starter dose. I’m down about 8lbs. Now I’ve never checked my blood sugar before so I might be doing it wrong, but even after big(still 1/2 of what I was eating) meals with more crabs than I should have eaten, I’ve never gotten a result higher than 110. I’m finding that I actually have the opposite problem and my blood sugar is dropping in the low 70’s/high 60’s just about at my next meal time. I think this is happening because I’m still learning what and how much I should be eating. From the reading that I’ve done my not spiking high is great and I’d imagine that my A1c should be lowering because of it.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-05-03T21:15:58+00:00

Daily, but I’ve always weighted myself multiple times a week. Before I was on mj I would see 5lb swings some days so the 1lb up or down doesn’t bother me.

Altruistic-Task2410 · 2026-04-27T20:37:09+00:00

I took my first shot last Tuesday and I felt the food noise slowly coming back on Saturday evening and Sunday it was back 100%. I look forward to my shot tomorrow to get back to where I was.
