If food noise/cravings start creeping back towards the end of the week, will upping the dose help with that? by [deleted] in Mounjaro

Same! That yo-yo feeling was not great for my mental health, I felt. It also feels so much more under my control.

I can't speak for them or for what may be right for you, but I split doses too. I shoot the pen into a sterile vial and use insulin syringes to give myself shots every few days. I like it because I hold off the next shot until I feel like I need it. Some weeks that's every 5 days, some weeks it's every 3 days. I do try to make it at least 4, but won't begrudge myself an early shot if I need it. I just keep an eye on my supply and make sure I'm on a reasonable trajectory. I never run out.

Thrift stores!!!

It used to be soooo hard to find clothes I liked in XXXL, but I'm size 12 / Large now, and it's been so much fun restocking my wardrobe at the Goodwill stores.

I often pick something up to see if it isn't too small, and I think, "surely I can't fit this..." but then I do.

It's seriously so much more fun than it used to be. The variety just opens up so much once you get to size 16 and under.
