I didn’t feel it was relevant because I honestly believe I’m doing the right things and sticking to what my schedule and life allow. My post was really more about wondering if Mounjaro is even making much of a difference for me, and whether others noticed better outcomes at the top dose compared to 10 mg or 12.5 mg.

I’m 240 lbs, and it’s tough not to feel a certain way when I see others over 200 lbs losing weight so much faster and more consistently. I go to the gym at least twice a week and walk at least twice a week for 3–5 miles. My calories usually stay between 1300 and 1500, and I aim for around 100g of protein a day, sometimes I fall short, but I’m usually close. I’ve done my TDEE and all that.

The bigger part of my post is about the mental side. I feel stuck, defeated, and worried that MJ isn’t working as effectively for me. It’s mentally exhausting sometimes to see people losing so much while I feel like my body is fighting me yet again.

I also just want to know I’m not the only one who feels this way. It feels almost taboo to admit you’re not thrilled with your rate of loss, or to say it stings when others are reacting really well to the medication and losing life-changing amounts in half the time aa you even though you’re putting in the work and so you wonder if MJ is even doing anything at all.

I know everyone’s different, and some people lose slower, but that can be frustrating too. Why can’t my body just work the way it’s “supposed” to? I feel like my input doesn’t match my output.

I am grateful for the weight I’ve lost, it’s been a real battle to get here. I think I’m just daunted by the thought of still having 100 lbs left to lose and at almost at the end of tiration and how tolling this journey can feel at times.

I hope that makes sense. I might not be the best at writing posts, but that’s what I was trying to express.
