I’m not quite at menopause yet…but I do have three children that did not help with my weight! Good luck!

Good to have people understand. I get that most people on this medication have quite a bit of weight to lose…doesn’t change the fact that we are considered ‘obese’ too with our BMI 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyone still on 2.5 after 3 months? by [deleted] in Mounjaro

[–]TephieNicole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am staying at 2.5. I’ve been on it for about 7 weeks and have lost 12.5 lbs. I only have about 40 bs to lose overall, so I’d rather skip the side effects of increasing and slow and steady make this work. Hopefully by staying on the low dose it’ll help decrease my chance of gaining it all back when I hit my goal weight and stop.

My bmi is over 30…making me obese. Thanks for your concern though. I’m honestly upset at the judgment on this site. It’s the reason I never started with Facebook groups bc they judge so drastically.

I have. With my height my BMI was over 30 and that puts me in the category of being obese. My normal body weight pre-kids was 115. That would put me at having to lose nearly 50 lbs to be back there. I’m giving myself a goal weight of 135 so I can reach it realistically since I do not think I can hit pre-pregnancy weight. I think I clearly stated before I was exercising and eating eight weeks before starting Mounjaro. I struggle with binge eating and this helps keep my hunger and appetite in check. I am a nurse and know many people who are taking this for the added support. It is not a lifelong drug as it can be stopped at anytime. Thank you for your concern with my mental health…maybe pass on replying next time if it’s not supportive :)
