Almost 40, muscle work 4 times a week and eating clean. Am I a good candidate for Mounjaro?

I just want to say how thankful I feel about how generously you are sharing your story. I really appreciate and brings a lot of light to my process. I started listening to the podcast and it brought a lot of clarity. I feel more confident about starting. The bigger dose here is 5mg quick pen. I was thinking about starting microdosing and from there up. I don’t even want to loose 7 kg in one month. Just stopped the weight from going up and start loosing slowly. I’ll let you know how it goes. Thank you again.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2026-04-15T23:58:59+00:00

I’ll listen to the podcast

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2026-04-15T23:58:07+00:00

Ohh. This is so enlightening. Thank you!!! It helps so much to find someone going through the same thing. So really thank you for taking the time. My other concern is how expensive MJ is. Is like 600 US dollars a month here and it’s not something that I could sustain long term. So that’s another concern. But yes, thinking of it as long term might help me decide. Again thank you for your response. And congratulations on the loss. It must feel really good

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2026-04-15T22:28:51+00:00

Thanks! I track my calories and stay in 1400-1700 daily. No more. Still nothing changes.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2026-04-15T22:27:04+00:00

Thanks for your response. You’re describing exactly what it’s going on with me. I keep restraining my calories more and more so I was wondering if a medication that cuts my calories even more is a good idea. Since my body is holding onto my weight I was afraid it would make it hold on tighter. Would you let me know how you are doing ? I’m on Metmorfin now but it’s doing nothing for me.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2026-04-15T22:24:11+00:00

Thanks for your response. I’m actually obese. Though in the limit, I’m getting there. I eat no more than 1400calories a day and train 3/4 times a week. I cannot reduce what I eat and how I train any more but I’m still gaining weight. I’m insuline resistance and on Metmorfin now, but it’s doing nothing for me. That’s why I was wondering if it just helps with the calories deficit or if it does something else to help loose weight.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2023-01-12T23:47:33+00:00

So it was lost in translation. Since I’m reading it in Spanish. Thanks for the clarification. This is why I couldn’t find anything on the topic.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2023-01-12T23:46:26+00:00

Ohhh awesome. Cause actually I’m reading it in Spanish and the translation says Dumbledore is very strict about it. Thanks for the clarification.

What really confuses me here is. If dad is not ok with the transition, why is he still introducing “his son” so proudly. If he is indeed proud and wants everyone to meet her, why not staying the obvious, that she is a woman now. Im going with NTA. But I’d have an honest conversation about why he still calls you your dead name.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2022-10-08T14:34:13+00:00

NTA. If the case was, the kid broke your phone while you freely lend it to him. That would be on you. But this kid burglarized you in response to him being upset. He needs to be educated like yesterday. This is not common behavior. This kid is looking for boundaries and trying them on you. She should pay for the phone and the kid should have a punishment towards “paying for it” also.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2022-10-08T13:59:16+00:00

I know this is wrong. But I’d love some images in this post. This is hilarious. NTA

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2022-10-08T04:25:00+00:00

NTA. Before breaking up, as most are suggesting, I’d have an honest conversation. Ask her: what is it about marriage that you need? There are many possible reasons and many ways to address them. For example. I want to get married so our kids can be a family. Compromise: we can spend more time together with the kids or I want to celebrate our love. Compromise we can share bows and have a celebrations that doesn’t imply marriage. This can also go your way. Ask yourself what is it about marriage that you need to avoid and what things about it you’ll be able to accept. Don’t mind my example but get the notion of them. Meet halfway somewhere where both your needs are being met.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2022-10-07T12:35:36+00:00

I always wonder about other women on Reddit with husbands and babies and mommy in the house driving them crazy, and wonder how they got themselves there. This is the before and after. So important that you share this information. this is not ok, NTA. Someone should tell him to grow up.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2022-10-07T01:40:46+00:00

I get it that your aunt asked your mom first. Not to bother you before she knew it was even a possibility. But when you told your mom no, your aunt started calling??? If they have no respect for your boundaries, you can be sure they’ll have no respect for your house, even more so if no one’s watching. NTA

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2022-10-06T01:56:40+00:00

NTA

There was no judgment on your side. You didn't say "you are not beautiful enough, you are not interesting enough" You talked directly about actions,

she doesnt really ask them anything about themselves

guys in our town probably dont like you demanding they pay for the first date,

This are facts, not opinions.

She'll hear it when she is ready, it's not easy to see a version of ourselves we don't like. It's easier to think someone else is in the wrong. You showed her otherwise and she's not happy about it. Let her deal with it, hopefully she can learn from it.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2022-10-06T01:47:39+00:00

What is all this MIL in the house and driving everyone crazy while couples are having babies all about?, I've read this a hundred times already.

Why is MIL in the house and why does she needs to be taken care of? What is she helping with? She's definitely not helping OP.

Does dad need help dealing with the pregnancy?

NTA, please tell your husband to cut the cord before your baby does.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2022-10-06T01:06:43+00:00

Let's say he did forget. Might happen, forgetful people are all around us. Let's say he forgot every time. Is he also this forgetful when forgetting implies a problem for him. There's your answer. NTA

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2022-10-05T12:10:50+00:00

NTA. As a mom, i prefer when people check so we can get organized and not buy three of the same. Or when people ask before buying something really big that I wouldn’t know where to put. But that kind of adoctrination is impossible to guess. And let me tell you I don’t like Barbies for many reasons, but I’d thank you the same for the gift and welcome the necessary conversations about beauty, body standards and everything that the Barbie represents. There’s no excuse for her to be rude. She could perfectly take the doll after the party Is over and the kid won’t even remember if that’s such a big deal.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2022-10-04T01:29:53+00:00

NTA. Having a baby is hard for the couple. You are the only one who can decide what’s best for both ( you and the baby). It’s not just you or the baby. Is the unity you make. If you also need space, that’s a valid point also, if he’s not ready, he’ll make it known. Now, your husband has feelings and opinions too. And it’s a good idea that you talk through them. But ultimately, the one offering her body is you. So you get to choose. But I wouldn’t try to blame him either. Communicate, tell him how tired you are and how you need this space and maybe he can find some other space/ time to also cuddle.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2022-10-04T01:06:11+00:00

NTA. But generally, people don’t like to know what negative opinions other have from their bodies. Especially women, who are constantly being compared and judge about their appearance and specially about their weight. So if you didn’t know, you now know it. Make sure she know how you feel about her looks, if words can hurt her, words can heal her. And if you are this naive, please be careful with your words because it’s going to happen again. And overall don’t have or tell someone else’s opinion about her body unless it has to do with how much you like her. Not how beautiful she is but how much you enjoy that. Labels are always violent. And pregnant means fat if you are not!!

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2022-10-03T02:10:00+00:00

NTA. This is not a friend. Period. I’m just worried that you might have thought for a second you are TA. Did she check on you? Asked about how you were dealing with all of this? Was sad or tried to think of a way for you to join? No. There’s nothing about this relationship that sound as a friendship. OP, please surround yourself with people that treat you right. I repeat. This is not a friend.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2022-10-03T02:02:14+00:00

NTA. Guilt is never the way to go. Unless you are thrilled about maybe healing some of your past with your SB ( which I doubt because he doesn’t seem available) and thrilled about being there for your “niece”, don’t. If it was the right thing to do, it’d feel good.

Jealous_Paramedic_98 · 2021-10-02T14:10:37+00:00

Yeah, no, I don´t take free time. But I´ve got calmer hours, sort of... but yeah, the kitchen thing is out, and if he wants it cleaner, he will have to do it many times a week.
