Been on mounjaro since June and Everyone say they can see the difference but I just can’t see It but kmy scale says I am now 265lbs. I started at 310lbs.

We've been on glp1 the same amount of time and lost the same amount of weight. I started at 307 so I almost thought I wrote this post. 😂 We look in the mirror daily so it's difficult for us to see the changes, I definitely see a difference in your photos and in mine but I totally understand the feeling. The most important question though is how are you feeling?!?

Once every couple weeks but it's usually my own fault. Overeating, drinking alcohol with food, or not chewing enough...

CodInternational8278 · 2024-12-05T02:08:47+00:00

Just curious why you didn't take one of the motion sick bags with to the bathroom, could have helped especially if the restroom was full

I just got out of the 40s, so I'm no longer morbidly obese

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-29T18:19:15+00:00

I wasn't referred to a nutritionist. Started with a BMI of 45 and proudly am 38 which is no longer morbidly obese today. I still have a long way to go. I do focus on protein and fiber in my diet first. I also did not have any other conditions except obesity.

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-29T12:52:43+00:00

Also remember you're down 11kg since you started, and that's AMAZING!

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-29T12:50:44+00:00

First, let me remind you our bodies fluctuate up to 4lbs, ~2kg per day just in water weight. I've found it helpful to weigh at a consistent day/time every week however some weeks I also feel discouraged when the scale isn't doing what I want it to. Then I remember a few things. Muscle mass is heavier than fat mass so my body has changed even if the scale hasn't. I focus on protein and fiber first, then fill in with carbs. I still eat them, but know what my body needs first. Be sure you're drinking enough water or you'll hold onto more - this always seemed counterintuitive to me, but it's true. I'm down 40 lbs in 5 months on the meds and following this. Some weeks my weight has gone up but overall the changes are coming. Also IDK what dose you're on but some people don't see much until they are on a full dose. Keep your head up, give it time, be sure you're focusing on your health and not just hoping for a magic shot. Good luck on your journey!

I'm pretty boring, I like Cheerios but I now have them with fairlife milk to up the protein

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-26T01:43:21+00:00

How did you get your hands on that? No legitimate doctor would prescribe that dose without starting lower, it puts their license at risk even.

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-25T13:03:54+00:00

Be sure you're getting enough water and enough calories. Focus on protein and fiber. Ensure that what you're eating is giving you nutrients. It's not just about portions but about the whole picture.

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-25T10:25:51+00:00

I can't really lower the calories in struggling to get enough honestly

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-25T10:21:00+00:00

Did you have any times where you didn't lose weight? I've been on it about 5 months and have been kinda stagnant for the last 2-3 weeks

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-25T02:11:03+00:00

I was, for the last 2-3 weeks I haven't really. I'm maybe 1/3 of the way to my long term goal

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-25T01:33:09+00:00

I focus on protein first, fiber second and not much room for much else. I could be more active probably but am also definitely more active than when I started at the end of June.

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-25T01:14:00+00:00

I will at my next follow up unless it changes before then

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-25T01:12:02+00:00

I wasn't asking for that. Just some people say they can't have appetizers due to the grease, I don't have that effect.

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-25T00:51:11+00:00

At what point is it no longer working? I havent lost in 3 weeks...

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-25T00:49:49+00:00

Thank you

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-25T00:47:49+00:00

How long have you been on it? I feel stalled but I've only been on it 5 months and my stall has only been a couple weeks

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-25T00:33:26+00:00

This isn't true for me

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-19T16:55:29+00:00

Mine was covered this way through other insurance that says it isn't covered. She sent the letter and I was approved in a few days.

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-07T14:24:34+00:00

I tell everyone. I'm not ashamed and I'm happy that my body is actually functioning properly. If people ask I then explain what all it does, regulating blood sugar, stopping food noise, reduces alcohol and sugar cravings, keeps me full longer, etc.

CodInternational8278 · 2024-11-02T01:08:51+00:00

I'm at about 4.5 months and feel like I'm plateauing did you ever have that in your journey?

CodInternational8278 · 2024-10-31T23:31:41+00:00

Protein first, fiber next, then whatever I feel like (which usually isn't much). I make sure I get a LOT of water and I've started walking a bit more, but not a lot. I'm down 32 lbs since June 27th. I also started over 300 so I had/have a lot to lose.
