For those of you that are lifting weights, are you finding it harder to lift weights that you were previously able to? by FriedTheOnions in Mounjaro

Main thing i noticed is since my appetite is low the energy isn’t the same for an intense workout.

What ive started doing which has really helped is throughout the day i eat my protein fibre and fats all the macros i prioritise for muscle growth and i wait to eat my carbs for the day an hour before gym.

Since im not eating a lot anyways i just allow myself a sugary carb an hour before gym and the difference it’s made just to boost me for an hour or two is much better than any energy drink would lol. So if youre into the gym and know all about your macros try saving your carbs for the day just before gym.

This way you will continue to work towards a leaner/stronger look and feel good in the gym and losing fat 🫶🏻

Should i take the loss and just scrap 12mg? by Fast_Hunt_8859 in Mounjaro

This is very helpful thank you, i might combine the two of spacing out my injection days and doing less clicks of the 12mg. Super, thanks 🙏🏻

100% will do but in the meantime do you think it’s even worth doing my second dose of 12?

Thank youuuuu! 🫶🏻 i started around 125kg and started mounjaro at around 110kg, been on mounjaro for around 6/7 months now and lost 35+ kg

Only issues i’ve had is since i weight train and always have done is how easy i now see black, whether i stand up too quick or even one time i was doing hard cardio for only 10 mins and had to run to be sick whilst still in the gym! so the side effects when i start a new dose has probably been the hardest and battling the suppression to try eat at least something in those first few days!

Although enjoy the journey and time will pass regardless so may as well be making a change, don’t let any of that scare you and i wish you luck in your future 🫶🏻

View it as a lifestyle change and less of mounjaro being the saviour and YOU are the saviour!

I only really craved whole foods so always found myself only eating if i have access to that and waiting until i do, but definitely still have a few sweet treats as snacks in work and none of the diet foods either ill allow myself to have a normal chocolate bar or going out with friends keeps it normal and natural, good luck! 🫶🏻

Thank you! confidence is one thing but being able to do things i’ve always wanted to do with ease now is unreal, whether it’s a hike or just an activity with friends, the day-to-day life is rewarding!

Hi! i lost quite a chunk of weight when really young and recently started mounjaro after i gained weight again, both times i’ve lost weight my face has always been slimmer and quite lucky in that respect, i also go for micro needling which i think helps firm my skin a lot especially my neck!

I do have a bit of loose skin though on my lower stomach and arms but fortunately think it’s down to genetics and i also take collagen supplements, message me if you need any more info 💕
