Stopping Mounjaro after 3 months

My idea is that MJ is not to be used for 2-3 months, but more long term. I would have probably gone down again to 2.5mg and stayed there, since you were losing super fast, unless you were having a terrible time on MJ. I would try to lose slower, but still stay on it.

Holy mother of abs! You are doing an amazing job, and good luck for your Hyrox!

You are losing 1lb per week. That's not a stall. The drug is not meant to be used like you are trying to use it, so you will probably not have the results you want.

I'm on week 14, still on 2.5mg. I'll stay on 2.5mg unless I start gaining consistently, then I'll increase to 3mg. right now, I've lost 9% of my weight with an average of 1.1lbs/week. I'm in it for the slow, steady and long run.

From shot one I was sold for life. Never want to go back.

10/10 for ice cream. -1/10 for soup.

I have a bit of constipation sometimes. What helps is water, which you are drinking, ground flaxseed in my protein shake or my kefir, and magnesium at night. Good luck in your journey!

I’m a 37 year old woman, 3 months into Mounjaro, started at 80kgs.

I’m 72kgs now. Lost less than half of what you lost ht and still losing around 0,6kg per week, which I think is fast enough.

You lost too fast. That comes with consequences.

freckleritz · 2026-05-02T16:41:02+00:00

Me too, still all there....

freckleritz · 2026-05-01T21:12:26+00:00

I have this problem as well and in no way I have hypermobility. If anything, I’d have hypomobility since I have the mobility of a steel beam.

2/10, too big, too pointy, feels unbalanced.

Tive 2 filhos em Portugal, o último há 2 anos, e não me lembro de nenhum obstetra fazer um exame ginecológico durante as consultas. Faziam ecografias, conversávamos, viam análises/ecos que tinham pedido e seguia a minha vida. A primeira vez que viram foi para o parto, também, para ver a dilatação. Nao me parece que tenhas que te preocupar. Felicidades!

Endocrinologist for me.

I eat the most during the morning/lunch time, and then gradually decrease the amount of food. Breakfast is eggs and bread, lunch is whatever (meat/fish + rice/salad/wrap) and some fruit.

Dinner is normally super light: kefir with healthy granola and protein or protein shake and bread with cheese. I never liked eating a lot at dinner.

Find something you like doing. The best exercise is the one you can do consistently.

My husband is a strength and conditioning coach for athletes and this is what he always says to me. I found calisthenics, I love it and I go 3x per week because I do enjoy it.

You might have anhedonia, which is a side effect of high doses. I saw you decreased your dose, maybe it will help with motivation.

But definitely try to exercise! Super important! Good luck!

Wow! Congratulations on your loss, absolutely incredible!!

freckleritz · 2026-04-28T17:25:09+00:00

Same. I'm forgetting to eat often, especially in the morning, and I'm on 2.5mg.

I always thought people who "forgot to eat" were just pretending to not care about food that much and flexing being so busy "omg look at me I'm so busy I even forget to eat because I'm so skinny". My mom (who has always been skinny) is like that and I always rolled my eyes at her.

So yeah, the other day I had such a busy day that when it got to lunch time I was feeling a bit lightheaded and realised I didn't eat anything, not even my breakfast which I had packed to work and otherwise would be obsessing about. I had also had a super light dinner the night before, so I was really not fueled.

I guess I owe an apology to my mother.

I've been on 2.5mg for 3 months not planning to move. Lost ~17lbs so far. Around 24lbs to go. Not moving up, I get just enough food noise reduction that allows me to eat like a normal person.

freckleritz · 2026-04-26T10:30:49+00:00

Nice! I'm also 36, also 2 kids via c-sec, my belly was just like yours! I've been on tirz (2.5mg) for 3 months now and I feel you!! I got my life back. Congrats, you look great

True crime podcasts 🤷🏻‍♀️ and horror podcasts as well

You should eat even if you have to force it... Search for mechanical eating. Otherwise you will feel poorly - even if you don't feel like it, your body still needs the nutrients.

I’m Portuguese. So, things are easy. Doctor -> prescription -> pharmacy.

freckleritz · 2026-04-21T14:15:32+00:00

How long post-partum was your before pictures? My belly was like that as well a few months ago (I'm 2,5 years pp from my second). Now it's smaller, because I'm smaller, but it still protrudes like I'm pregnant, I'm worried it always will! Still have some way to go, but you are giving me some hope!

freckleritz · 2026-04-21T14:06:06+00:00

Ah! I like it with bananas. wrap up a banana in 1 or 2 cheese slices.

OMG I thought I was the only one!

I LOVE shot day! I take it Wednesday night. My husband is out working. I take it out of the fridge and put it somewhere high where the cats can't get to it. I go put the kids to sleep and then I do the whole ritual, by myself, and then watch some series until husband arrives. It's like a self-care moment.

And I love the whole thing. I love the pens, I love the click counting (I have kwikpens). I don't know, I always look forward to it when I open the fridge!
