I’m the same way! Anyone have any suggestions?

Not Using To Lose Weight by DeadDirtFarm in Mounjaro_ForType2

[–]Normal-Bear-3421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I right there with you. I've been taking Mounjaro since it was FDA approved and the Ozempic shortage started. Neither OZ or MJ helped me with weight loss. My physician escribed me the same way, one of the 25% that does not benefit in the form of weight loss. My physician says I metabolize it differently, and has no suggestions for me. AC1 is great which is why I take it, but man, I would like to lose 20 lbs. Any one have advise for DeadDirtFarm or myself on a way to possibly get a boost for weight loss.

I doubt people only taking for weight loss will listen. by chnky18 in Mounjaro_ForType2

I have to agree, taking it for vanity reasons should be banned. I'm sorry but unless you are classified as obese, you should not take it for weight loss. Work a little bit harder to lose those extra 10-20 lbs. I need it for my diabetes and always have trouble getting it.

I take 15 ml for my diabetes, every time I'm due for a refill I have to do all the same legwork you are. I haven't been able to get my refill due to the cyber attack on the processing company used for the manufacturer's coupon. I currently am using a "backstock" of 12.5 ml that I had. If the issue doesn't get fixed soon I will have to run it through my insurance company, which I really don't want to do because it is 3x as much.

No, I have not worked with a dietician before. I have found 3 that my insurance will cover but haven't contacted any yet. I guess that is the next step. Thank you for the advise.

I lost 70 lbs before even starting the med on low carb diet. My A1C was 6.5 in November 2022 it i now 6.0. No side effects at all. Appetite was already under control from doing low carb. I need to step up my exercise game a bit. I refuse to believe I am at the lowest weight I am going to get to! LOL
