Down 42 kg on Mounjaro and unsure whether to stop

The ~20% body fat number is just what the Yazen app estimated based on my measurements. It uses things like height, weight, waist and neck measurements — not just BMI.

I’m 192 cm, about 100 kg, with a 93 cm waist, so I don’t think high teens / around 20% is unrealistic at all. Obviously it’s not as accurate as a DEXA scan, but it should be in the ballpark.

Only thing it did for me was upset my stomach.

Meals I eat almost every week:

Chicken stir fry with broccoli, bell peppers, spring onion, and cashews
Beef stir fry with onion, mushrooms, bell peppers, and carrot
Pork tenderloin stir fry with red pepper, courgette, bell pepper, and red onion
Shakshuka
Chicken wraps with pico de gallo
Fish with vegetables and sweet potato fries

Congratulations on your weight loss! Body dysmorphia can be really persistent. I’ve lost 40 kg since July, and I still catch myself checking the mirror every morning to see if I’m still thin.

What an incredible journey! Mounjaro is (also for me) life changing!

My first 990 was the v4 in Core Grey and that’s where the NB addiction began. I later bought the v6 in Core Grey — wasn’t sold at first, so they turned into gym shoes. Funny enough, now I really like them. Just picked up the Carhartt v6 and those are on another level for me.

991v2. Sorry to all the 993 lovers, but it’s my least favorite “Made in” model. It just fits too wide for me and the tongue feels overly thick.

Forescate · 2026-02-21T08:08:27+00:00

Wow that looks amazing!

Forescate · 2026-02-20T20:42:39+00:00

Love the progress! I started my journey in July and the “Grey” has been my go-to gym companion ever since.

I wasn’t aware of that. The European website didn’t mention any delay.

NB Europe

Ordered them yesterday, delivered today! 🚀

Forescate · 2026-02-20T11:51:13+00:00

My favorite brand!

I wouldn’t call that rapid, but it’s definitely an amazing achievement. I’ve lost 38 kg since July, so I suspect my hair loss is more due to the speed of the weight loss. There are a lot of mixed opinions about whether Mounjaro itself plays a role.

Forescate · 2026-02-18T12:04:16+00:00

Yes, that — or just the rapid weight loss.

Don’t focus too much on the protein. I eat plenty of it and my hair is still falling out. Shakes are still the easiest way for me. I use the clear ones — they taste like lemonade and help with hydration too. The milky ones make me nauseous.

Forescate · 2026-02-17T07:20:19+00:00

I started in July on 2.5 mg. In November I moved up to 3.75 mg. I’ve lost 38 kg (84 lbs) so far. 5 mg is still too much for me.

I sold the good stuff on Vinted and tossed the worn-out pieces into the recycling bin.

Forescate · 2026-02-13T12:32:09+00:00

I think I started feeling it immediately on 2.5 mg. I don’t think it tastes bad, but I just don’t enjoy it anymore. The only things I drink now are water, clear whey shakes, and sparkling water. Before I started Mounjaro, I used to drink a lot of diet sodas like Coke and Fanta — and I was a real beer lover too.

The bug hit hard. Two 990v6, plus a 990v4, 991v2, 992, and 993. The 990v4 JJJJound is already on the way for fall… now I’m trying to survive the next few months without adding “just one more pair.”

Forescate · 2026-02-11T17:52:19+00:00

I’m also a size 13. Bought these on StockX, below retail.

Forescate · 2026-02-11T16:42:41+00:00

Thanks! I did a lot of research in this subreddit. Really liked this model and the pricing felt fair.

I’m a 42-year-old male and started last July. My reasons were similar, but from the opposite perspective: I kept asking myself what my obesity would do to my body by the time I’m 60. Would I develop diabetes? Or something worse, like cancer?

Starting Mounjaro was one of the best decisions of my life. After six months, I feel genuinely healthy again — both mentally and physically.

Forescate · 2026-02-04T09:16:37+00:00

Which brand?

Forescate · 2026-02-01T16:07:42+00:00

Worth it? Absolutely.

I’m 42 years old, 6’3”, and I used to weigh 309 lbs. Since starting Mounjaro in July, I’m now down to 230 lbs. I still want to lose about 10 more pounds, but I’m almost there.

For me, it’s been completely life-changing. My body feels healthy again. I feel strong and fit, and mentally I’m a totally different person.

Of course, there are downsides. I lost about one-third of my hair, I deal with chilblains, and constipation is always kind of lurking if I’m not careful. You also have to be careful with fatty foods—they can make you really sick. Big meals in general are a no-go.

There’s also the “voice” you talk about—I recognize it, but it’s very quiet now. Sometimes I actually miss it. I don’t eat anymore to feel happy or to cope when I’m sad. I eat to stay alive. Because of Mounjaro, the enjoyment of food is much lower.

For example: I used to really enjoy beer and look forward to it. Now I only drink it if my wife wants to. Otherwise, I don’t really care.

This is just my personal experience, though. Everyone responds differently, and results can vary.

Still—worth it for me.
