"Have been injecting Mounjaro weekly for a month now and have lost 4 kg, but here is what I learned… 1. Make sure you're fully hydrated before injecting the recommended dosage of the first 2 weeks, needles being 2.5 ml, as it dehydrates you big time and most of the time is why you are feeling nauseated, but keep hydrated, drink up. Eg. Powerade or Hydralytes… 2. Inject in the top thigh as it is less nausea feelings than injecting in the tummy. 3. Your body automatically tells you that you are full after a small portion of dinner (saucer plate size) as breakfast I craved Vegemite on thin bread, so maybe I was lacking either salt or B12 levels down. Lunch I ate a small amount too, but have snacks 4 times a day, even one sugar lolly made me feel better."

"I'm so impressed with this medication! I gained almost 20 kg in a few years (stress and bad eating habits). Tried every diet on the planet, including PT sessions 3 times a week. Lost one or two kilos but gained it back in no time. Finally, I found a product that helps me lose weight coupled with a healthy diet. I don't do keto but avoid sugar and limit starches. Lost 5 kg in less than a month and haven't felt this good in years! I have so much energy and motivation to lose the other 15 kg! Even helps with mental health because you feel so much better. 5 stars!"

"I have been on Mounjaro for a year, and I have lost 20% of my body weight, and now I am nearing my target weight using 12.5 mg. I am a 60-year-old male, and I had developed metabolic syndrome as well as knee problems. My blood pressure is now normal, triglycerides are normal, and my joints don’t ache. I did not experience any notable side effects on Mounjaro."

"Female, 55, 183 lb, 5’6. Started on 2.5 three weeks ago. Was amazed how fast it started to work. Have lost 10 lb in three weeks. Cravings have gone. No longer thinking about food all the time. Junk food and sugar hold no appeal. Sleeping better. Only side effect is slight nausea day after the injection."

"I was recommended weight loss pre-knee surgery and decided to try Mounjaro. I am a 55-year-old female, at least 12 kilos overweight. I have been using it for 3 weeks now (2.5 mg) and have lost 2 kg. There was no nausea, and I manage slight constipation with poached pears and yogurt or a prebiotic. I realized very quickly that I needed to eat smaller amounts more regularly as opposed to my previous habit of waiting until I was really hungry - I didn’t eat badly before, but my food portions were larger, and I regularly consumed alcohol. I tried a sip of champagne after 2 weeks of Mounjaro, and it tasted horrible. The combination of eating less, feeling satisfied, sleeping better, and weight loss has already changed my life for the better."

"I lost weight, very happy about it, but I developed an allergic reaction, hives over my chest at the beginning. Then over other parts of my body, itching, insupportable. I don’t know what to do."

"I started Mounjaro on July 1. Weighing in at 255, I took the 2.5 dose and am on my 4th shot. So far, no side effects, and I have lost 15 lbs. I am 70 and have stage 3 kidney disease. In August, I will begin taking the 5 mg dose and hope to continue with more weight loss."

"I had my three doses in three weeks, 5 mg each dose. I lost around 4-5 kg already. I never felt any nausea as I did with Ozempic or Saxenda. I had Ozempic and Saxenda for more than two years, and I didn't have any weight loss. With Mounjaro, I have already lost weight without any change in diet and activity (I had a good diet and activity before as well when I was taking Ozempic/Saxenda, but I didn’t have any weight loss). I feel very good, so I will continue the treatment."

"I'm a white male, 51. In October 2023, I weighed 312 pounds and was pre-diabetic. My doctor prescribed 2.5 Mounjaro. I've been taking it since then. As of July 25, I've dropped 74 pounds, or about 24% of my starting weight. I have not noticed any impactful side effects. Exercise changes: • yoga 3x per week • 2.6-mile walk 4x per week • 30 minutes elliptical 3x per week. Diet changes: • no sugary drinks - no Coke, no Starbucks • no candy or other junk food • more nuts, proteins, salads • no food after 8 pm. I feel great!"

"I’ve been on Mounjaro for one year this week. I’m not diabetic or prediabetic. I’m using it for weight loss only. My starting weight was 264 lbs. I now weigh 179 lbs. I haven’t had any negative side effects since starting on Mounjaro. My GP runs a battery of tests every 3 months to track my vital levels. So far she and I are both amazed. I’ve started on daily walking for exercise because I feel so much better! My insurance won’t pay for the monthly injections so the cost is high, but my husband says it’s worth it. I do too! I’m on a 10.0 mg dose. I recently had to stop the drug for a month because of surgery. I didn’t gain any weight back during that time."

"I have been on the lowest dose of Mounjaro, 2.5 ml, for 3.5 weeks. I'm averaging a loss of just over 2 lbs per week. I'm going slow on purpose. Definitely less thoughts about food and less appetite. Feel full way sooner. I usually eat pretty clean anyways but now I'm weightlifting twice weekly in addition to 30-minute walks. All about 4-5 days per week. I'm 59, so my endurance is different now. I do get nausea on and off, which doesn't bother me. Depending on how much vegetable matter I consume, my bowel movements are good. Sometimes I get a bit of diarrhea but nothing terrible. Because of my age and lack of exercise, my BMI and fat % is not as good as it should be, and I struggle with the inherited fat gene thing from my family history. I would highly recommend this product. I do not have any form of diabetes."

"I started taking this medication for weight loss. I am 5 foot nine, and I got up to 200 pounds. I lost 11 pounds the first month, and I continued to lose about 5 pounds a month thereafter. My side effects were minimal. I did not have constipation, other people have reported it, but I had quite the opposite. It absolutely decreased my hunger, and by month four, I noticed a huge difference in my fibromyalgia pain. After one year of medication, I have lost 55 pounds. I have never felt better in my entire life because the benefits to my fibromyalgia pain are significant. I decided to go on the shot every other month for maintenance. So far, in the last six months, I have not lost any more weight or gained any more. I tried to push it to three weeks. I did not gain weight, but my body pain came back. So, I am back to the shot every 5 mg, which has been successful for me. I am so grateful to not be obsessing over food. I have to say I have craved red meat more than anything during this diet."

"Have lost 60.4 pounds since February 1. I was pre-diabetic and my a1c is now normal. My blood pressure is no longer high and I no longer have shortness of breath, probably not from the Mounjaro but because of the weight loss. The only side effect I have had is forgetting to eat and drink."

"I took Mounjaro for one month. I had abdominal pain while using it. I was fine after that but three months later I ended up with severe abdominal pain, loss of smell and taste, and severe nausea. It's been a month of side effects on the fourth month since stopping it and still sick. I was given this medication for weight loss. Read instructions. I'm not going to rate it because I should have read the instructions."

"It's fantastic wish I had been on it ages ago! The only side effect I am getting is very cold hands and feet. A little nauseous on the 5mg but only on week 2 of it so I'm sure it will settle down. Loving how easy it is to take, losing weight and feeling so much better. Highly recommend."

"I used Mounjaro for 8 months. I went from 210 down to 100. It worked very well for me, almost too well. I have not taken it for over a month, and I am told I need to gain 30 pounds. My doctor took me out of work and sent me to a nutritionist and rehab. I am still losing weight even though I have stopped the medicine. My taste buds and appetite are still not back to normal. If you do take this medication, it does work, but be careful of losing too much."

"I'm very new to this drug. It's only my 2nd week using it. I'm a 47-year-old very active woman. I don't have loads of weight to shift, probably around 2 and a half stone. Over the last 4 years, I've lost around 4 stone on my own and kept it off, but I can't seem to lose the remaining, so I thought I would give it a go. I read hundreds of reviews about the drug, so I was aware of all of the side effects and prepared for them as part of the course. I'm now 10 days into it, and I haven't had 1 side effect. I don't know if I'm just one of the lucky ones, but I'm not complaining. I started on a Wednesday morning weighing in at 13st 9lbs. By the following Wednesday, I was 13st 5lbs. It's now 5 days on from that, and I'm down to 13st 2lbs. I'm honestly shocked by the results. I have no regrets from using it and look forward to the end results."

"Amazing drug. Lost 25 lbs in one month along with healthy eating. (Which was all I needed to lose.) No more blood pressure medication, no more statins. I have kept the weight off for one year using a maintenance dose of 5 mg once a month. Zero negative side effects."
