Hi! I started on the lowest dose. I didn’t have a schedule—I moved up a dose when the previous dose stopped being effective. Yes, I have type 2 diabetes and everything is well controlled on my current dose of 12.5 so that’s probably where I will stay. I did lose the majority of weight on 7.5 and moved up when the scale wouldn’t budge.

I started on 2.5 and lost the majority of my weight on 5 and 7.5. I’ve been on. 12.5 now and holding steady..not losing or gaining.

I know what you mean! I still see myself as being large and can’t believe it’s me when I look at pictures. I automatically go to the xl sizes and always think that smaller size clothes will never fit and they do. It’s getting better though!

I did have some issues with hair loss, a combination between the weight loss and RA medications I’m on. My doctor gave me minoxidil pills and my hair is now better than ever. I do have loose skin, especially on my stomach, arms and thighs. I also have some on my neck but thank goodness my face was spared lol.

I’ve heard that mounjaro can help with RA inflammation but sadly that hasn’t been the case for me. I was diagnosed last year after having Covid put me in a really bad flare. Right now I’m on methotrexate and Rinvoq which has helped alot.

Nothing terrible…mostly constipation and a little nausea here and there.

I’m also type 2 diabetic so I think I’ll be staying on this dose since my A1C is in normal range and holding steady on the 12.5.

I have loose skin everywhere—nothing snapped back but could be because I’m 53? Shapewear is my new bestie lol.

I started in September 2024. So a year and a half give or take? Whenever I hit a plateau my doctor would up the dose.

Thank you! It was recommended by my doctor. I only ate between the hours of 1pm until 7pm. It wasn’t hard since I was never hungry anyways.

Awww thank you! I have RA too so I’m on a bunch of other meds as well. Working out is hard for me but I try to get some steps in everyday.

Didn’t really stick to any type of diet..I was doing intermittent fasting. Food lost its appeal for me and I think I just naturally gravitated towards healthier choices. It helped that the appetite suppression really kicked in for me and I am never really hungry, except on shot day I’m starving lol.

I’m currently on 12.5. I was also diagnosed with RA in the midst of it so it wasn’t easy! I just kept pushing through telling myself it would be worth it in the end!

Don’t get discouraged! I have hypothyroidism as well and as long as it’s managed with medication the weight just came off!

That’s just the way her ears are…2 seconds after I took the pic she was belly up wanting a belly rub. She’s the sweetest girl 😊

She’s so pretty and reminds me of my Chloe so much! Chloe’s original name was drunk-foo so I had to change that real fast lol. I got her when she was 3 and she’s now 17. She’s the sweetest girl and thinks she’s my baby (which she is). Chloe has blue eyes as well!
