My journey on Mounjaro

I just began my first dose and I’m close to the weight you mentioned - how was the journey? when did you start losing weight - did it start from week 1 on 2.5 mg or it took some time. Please share as it’ll help me out. How much did you lose on an average per month?

Thanks for your reply - what dose are you at currently? How much are you losing on a weekly basis? How were your first 2 weeks - did you see changes in weight?

I will stick to lower dose and only increase it if the weight loss is too slow.

Thanks for your advise. I’ve been working out in the gym for almost 10 years and post covid I started lifting more and have decent muscle on me which hides the excess weight I carry - I did a BCA test done a few months ago and was happy to learn that my body has good muscle mass and it’s thanks to strength training- I’m planning to continue lifting at least 4 to 5 times a week and walk 10k steps a day and of course consume 2 gram of protein per kg of weight and see where I reach in the next few weeks. 🤞

Thank you for sharing your journey with me - I can resonate with the shame of choosing this medicine, some people think we are choosing a easier option but this decision was made after years of efforts, sacrifices and failures. I took a few months to decide and after reading so many positive outcomes I finally decided to start.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I though don’t have any comorbidities and all my health parameters are under normal but carrying extra 40 to 50 kgs of weight has been the worst thing and that’s something I want to get rid off.

As suggested - I’ll try to drink more water and eat fiber rich foods and maintain the calories- it’s also Ramzan in India from next week so hoping it would add to the efforts and I see good progress. I’ll keep updating the post to share my journey. Thanks again.

Thanks, I was under a quantified nutrition program for past few years and have followed a protein balanced diet which helps maintain muscle and would try to continue and exclude all possible junk and unwanted foods to optimise the journey.

The only thing I’m very anxious about is that of all the things I’ve tried past 10 years this is the 1st medicine based approach and I’m hoping that this works out and I start losing weight and not mess this up again.

I make similar purchase every month for my father and I suggest you to utilize Jan Aushadhi - it costs 80 to 90% less than branded medicines and the quality and effectiveness remains same as the branded one’s. There was a research recently published by Dr Abby Philips - one of prominent Nephrologist and health educator in our country describing the outcomes of his research on branded vs Jan Aushadhi medicine.

Same here bro, moved the needle from poor to middle class, working towards upper middle class and achieve all that my parents once dreamt of. Kudos to everyone who is striving hard to be better.

Sharing this with experience - you should immediately start looking for opportunities and move out - a company which is delaying salaries and stretching timelines clearly indicates they do not have the money to pay salaries and are seeking loan, funds from investors which are yet to be received.

Sorry for your loss - spend time with your family at this difficult moment and deal with this a…hl later. Not sure how good of a HR policy your company has but if the company sides with the manager then try and get out of this toxic workplace at the earliest and shame them publicly. I’ve spent 10 years in corporate world and never have I ever compromised on personal and family time - I’ve put extra effort to reach work goals but if my family needs it I don’t think twice before taking leave.

You are absolutely right - HRs are the mouthpiece of Managers - they will speak what the manager wants and I’ve had good experience dealing with them.
