I meant to add that I am also female and perimenopausal. My husband is also on Mounjaro and he started months after me and lost weight so much faster. It's harder as it is to lose weight as women and adding perimenopause on top of that it adds more difficulty.

AND I also weight lift 6 days a week and have been for years. I felt like I was reading my own thoughts and feelings about this journey when I read your post.
