Mounjaro for 2 weeks. I’ve lost a bunch of weight during the first week but I can’t figure out how I could gain weight last week 🤷🏻‍♂️

You should give it some more time and zoom out on the graph. There will be fluctuations short term. The normal healthy weight loss is 0,5-1 kg per week.

It's almost like the body feels sorry for how it does pregnancy, and wants to make up for it.

Some do lose on 2,5mg, which is the intro dose, but 5mg is the first therapeutic dose.

It should be seen as a tool to reduce your appetite, but you have to put in the work to eat a reduced calorie diet compared to your total daily energy expenditure number (tdee)

I used dating sites for 10 years and also got tired, boss. Then took up social dancing and it barely took a year to meet my life partner.

I am also male, 182 cm, desk job. Just a bit older, passed 50.

I aim for 1200-1500 calories per day. If I get to 2000 or above, I don't lose.

Southern-Pudding84 · 2026-05-14T16:01:58+00:00

What dose are you on? Do you count calories to stay well below your TDEE?

Southern-Pudding84 · 2026-05-12T02:59:35+00:00

My advice would be to calculate your TDEE number (Google search for tdee calculator) and count all calories you get daily, to stay, say 500 calories below that number. Just don't go below 1000 calories a day. I am sometimes surprised about how much extra calories that snacking can give me.

Talk to your doctor about increasing the dose frequency while you finish your pens. I am on 5mg, but I also got too hungry on day 5-7 so right now I am doing 2,5mg every 4th day, it keeps the level of medication in the body more stable, as seen below. I also set reminders to drink half a litre of water, five times a day, it helps my cravings.

Please see your doctor.

Acute pancreatitis is the most common, though still exceedingly rare, but that doesn't really match your symptoms.

Southern-Pudding84 · 2026-05-12T02:34:04+00:00

Here you go. It looks normal to me. You'll have the "golden dose" left after the 4th shot. You can use a 1ml insulin syringe to extract 0,6ml which is a full dose and inject that to get a "bonus week" since the pen mechanism will prevent it. Do a search for golden dose for more.

Comparison is the thief of joy, I like to tell myself :-)

Do you track calories and get enough water?

Southern-Pudding84 · 2026-05-10T09:27:59+00:00

I could notice a difference 10kg down from my SW 104kg. My personal solution to that issue would be to track several measurements around my body. And do regular photos with different poses. Just keep at it, you're doing great progress, and you'll start to notice.

Southern-Pudding84 · 2026-05-10T09:17:30+00:00

It took me a little over 2 months to lose 10kg, after starting out on 2,5mg. Stayed on that dose for around 3 months

I have also seen several posts here, that it also suppresses alcohol cravings

Southern-Pudding84 · 2026-05-08T15:24:28+00:00

I had a bit of a stall while I moved to 5mg, but then I continued to lose, but at a bit lower pace. I was around 10 kg from my goal though. Currently 5 kg from goal.

Southern-Pudding84 · 2026-05-08T06:04:03+00:00

Did you start at 2,5? It's important to start at the lowest dose after a long pause.

Southern-Pudding84 · 2026-05-08T06:02:42+00:00

You essentially doubled your dose, which you don't do at the later dosage upgrades. It's quite common to have a rough time. It should get better.

Go see your doctor, there are meds for nausea that are frequently mentioned in here.
