"I am 56 years old and I weighed 343 lbs, and my height is 6 ft. tall when I asked my doctor about using Mounjaro. I was a type 2 diabetic. I wore a size 50 pants and a 4 XL shirt. Started Mounjaro a year and six months ago along with a low carb diet. I walked on the treadmill 1 to 3 miles 3 times a week. As of today, I've lost 134 lbs and wear a size 32 to 34 pants. My shirts are large to extra large. I am able to jog and not walk. My A1c is 4.5 to 5.4, down from 7. All around better quality of life thanks to Mounjaro. I wished there was a way to post my pictures of my before and after on here. But I just wanted to share, and if my 56-year-old self can do it, anyone can. God bless."

"Been taking 2.5 ml for only 3 weeks now but have lost nearly 6 kg. I had one mouth ulcer the first week and one the second but none since, so possibly not related. The beginnings of constipation this week, but I increased my fiber intake, and I am now fine. No stomach cramping, but I was recommended to take a magnesium supplement before starting Mounjaro to head those off. I continue to take it. No cramping so far. No other symptoms. I do have Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, and fatty liver disease. I simply had to lose weight. I have given up smoking 3 times in the past 4 years and gained 10 kg every time. (I don't smoke now.) I am 59. This medication is saving my life. If I lose weight again this week, I will stay on the low dose for another month. Appetite suppression has been very strong since week 1. The KWIK pen is so simple and pain-free. I live in Australia."

"I have used Ozempic, Saxenda, and Wegovy and changed due to shortages, nausea, or not getting results. Been on Mounjaro for 1 month at 2.5. I have lost 2.8 kilos. No nausea and no desire to eat or pig out. My IBS/bloating has significantly reduced too. However, I eat small, healthy meals of protein, salads, and some fruit. I am very conscious of eating nutritious food and drinking lots of water. Mounjaro is expensive (in Australia), but it so far is the best product for me."

"I have had zero side effects. I notice that I don’t have sugar/carbs cravings that I had prior. I’ve lost 30 lbs in 9 weeks. I’m targeting another 20. I’m not certain what follows that period - stop drug or go on maintenance?"

"My experience with Mounjaro has been incredible. I started with 2.5 ml = 4/wk., 5 ml = 4/wk, 7.5 ml 4/wk (nausea with higher doses, no side effects). It's given me my life back. I have lost 15 kilos; I was 85 kilos, high cholesterol. I lost my appetite completely, eating only pears for breakfast, black coffee, steamed green veggies, and chicken. I have no dairy, takeout, or alcohol. Drinking a lot of water is essential, at least 3 liters or more per day. My body took four weeks to show any results; my body measurements changed first. I noticed in the 5th week, after a weekend, I had dropped 6 kg. My face became thinner, and someone said, 'You're shrinking.' I found it easier to drink fluids than eat food; it completely shut off my hunger. I had to make myself eat a savory biscuit. It was expensive! (No concession) Remember, everyone is different. I do have PHI, although they are ending the benefit due to the expense not being sustainable. I am strength training to gain muscle."

"I have been struggling with my weight since I was 16. I quit smoking, had two children, entered menopause, and my weight became uncontrollable (my blood tests have always been perfect). I found the strength to start dieting a couple of times a year but hit rock bottom in March, 48 years old, 107 kgs. Depressed and unable to start -again- the keto diet (it works very well for me), I asked for help and was put on antidepressants and Mounjaro. A real game changer. I started the diet with no willpower, no bad feelings, no cravings, no need for self-control, just naturally. I got into ketosis easily and quickly. As a side effect, I have slight nausea a couple of days after the injection. No big deal, as it helps with the diet. No more food noise, I am able to think and prepare my meals without rushing, and so far, I have lost 6 kg in 14 days. I plan to continue for as long as I can and then stop and get my weight under control. We'll see."

"Mounjaro Review - A Life-Changing Experience. I've been on Mounjaro for almost a year, and I have never been happier. I've lost 70 pounds, and I feel and look great! I haven't experienced any side effects, and while I can eat anything I want, I simply don't have the same appetite as before. Interestingly, I used to enjoy a glass or two of wine weekly, but I no longer have cravings for it, and I'm perfectly happy about that. I also stay active by swimming a few times a week, which has helped me maintain my progress. Bottom line: Mounjaro works! I plan to stay on it as long as I can because it has truly transformed my life."

"When I weighed 212 lbs at 5’1”, I was facing breast reduction surgery, A1c was over 8, I was on Metformin and on multiple antidepressants. My doctor started me on Mounjaro at increasing doses. Now, just about 8 months later, my A1c is 6, I no longer need Metformin and I currently weigh 135 lbs…I’ve lost a whopping 77 lbs! I feel great! The side effects have been… little to no appetite, nausea for two to three days after injection, constipation… all easily managed. Mounjaro has changed my life, and I would do it all over again!"

"I started taking Mounjaro for weight loss and also for type 2 diabetes. I started taking it in February 2024. I have lost 124 lbs total. It has been a lifesaver, but I have been experiencing a lot of side effects lately. I am not sure if it is due to the medicine or something else. I have been sick also, so it could be that. I cannot walk without severe exhaustion and vomiting sometimes. I have trouble breathing most of the time. Even though I have lost all of this weight and I am the smallest I have ever been, I feel sicker than I ever have been. I just wonder if anyone else feels like this? I don't know why I feel so bad."

"I've just started my 5th week. I've lost 12 pounds, I feel so much happier. It reduces your hunger (and I can normally eat when full). I'm 59 and 3 stone overweight."

"In 2023, I began taking Mounjaro and went from the 2.5 dosage to 10. I lost almost 40 pounds and then couldn't get it anymore! I put on 22 pounds in about 6 weeks! When Mounjaro became available again, I started again and lost that 22 pounds plus 50 more pounds for a total of 72 pounds. I have NEVER had a single side effect and have used EMMA for any constipation (but I've always had trouble with constipation anyway!). My goal was to get to 125 pounds and then gain back 5 pounds because all my life I've heard that it's a good thing to do to fill out your face. It may be just an old wives' tale, but I now weigh 127 and that's my plan. I guess I should tell my age so that older individuals who have suffered from the highs and lows of dieting and never being successful long-term will realize that we too can lose weight and keep it off. 84."

"I started Mounjaro four days ago. Have lost 7.7 lbs!! Absolutely delighted with it. Zero side effects. Feel fuller for longer. Please remember to drink water/fluids on it as you forget with the feeling of fullness!"

"Fortunately, I did not experience any side effects until I got to 10 mg. I began having a reaction at the injection site and suffered a little blurred vision occasionally. I am now on my first week of 12.5 mg and find that 3 days after taking the injection, I am having pains (like muscle strain or a trapped nerve) in various and multiple places. This has been the case for 4 days now, so I am a bit dubious about taking my second injection tomorrow. However, I have lost 3 stone over 17 weeks, so for me, positive outweighs the negative as I was morbidly obese. Any thoughts on these pains I am having, please?"

"Started Mounjaro in November 2024 and did not have any side effects, only when I was increased to 5 mg, and the nausea was bad, and I was sick a few times when I ate anything with a high/medium fat content. But I managed to get anti-sickness tablets from my GP, and I have lost 3.5 stone since starting this. I was 17 stone, and I can now go up 3 flights of stairs and not stop for breath, as before, I had to stop on the first flight. I have started to drink more water, as before I hated it. I was a fizzy drink person. I have also added more supplements to my daily intake, as before I never took supplements. The only issue I have now is sulfur burps and still nausea with the occasional trapped wind."

"This medicine is wonderful. It has helped me from being overweight. A person that has tried with diet and exercise, and I am prediabetic, also thyroid problem. Now I can work out. I do not want sweets. I see the inflammation leaving my body."

"Started last January at 268 pounds, 5 ft 7 in, morbidly obese, could barely walk because of breathlessness and back pain. One year later, I'm down to 159 pounds and have never been healthier. The only side effect I've had from this medication is really bad constipation, which requires a laxative a couple of times per week. This med works so well when you are in a deficit and working out, it makes you full really quickly too. Nothing ever worked for me in the past, but my whole lifestyle has changed for the better since being on this med."

"Before I started Mounjaro in December 2024, I was miserable and very unhappy at 210 pounds. All my blood tests were negative, and my diabetes was on the border. After I kept going to the injections at the beginning, I ate and didn’t lose much, but after I moved to 7.5, I lost 60 pounds without any problems. I just don’t want to eat large portions. The happiest I have ever been. This was the best thing for me after trying everything for many years and failing. As a result of my blood tests, I have diabetes and my A1C is normal. Right now, I will stay on this for another year."

"In the beginning, I weighed 340 lb and was a heavy drinker with lots of beer. When I started Mounjaro, I was a little bit skeptical and nervous about the side effects and results. My work is primarily sitting in a chair behind a computer and interacting through Teams with coworkers. I noticed a huge change after 1 year, now that I lost almost 110 lb and am feeling extremely motivated to do every energy activity around the house, going out more frequently outdoors or just to the city! It's been a life change for me, and I would strongly recommend this product to anyone, with, of course, the guidance of a doctor!"

"I started Mounjaro December 29, 2024. My starting weight was 249.6. I'm now 243 as of January 12th, 2025. Down 6.6 lbs. I have been in the gym for one year. I'm 51 years old, 5'3". I am prediabetic. My BMI was over 30, and I have high blood pressure, but nothing serious. I was put on a water pill of 12 mg instead. That being said, I am feeling really good about the medication thus far. I read and listened to a lot of reviews via YouTube and articles. The next morning after my first shot, I immediately bought a stool softener. I eat my protein, veggies, fiber, and do all the necessary things to lose and maintain my results. My goal is to lose 50 lbs. That will bring me to an even 200. I'm told numerically, 50 lbs sounds good based on the scale, but to physically look at me, I would look sick, so we'll see. I'm feeling victorious just knowing that I'm doing something to aid in bringing down my blood pressure and not crossing the line of 'diabetic.' My minor side effects were feeling cold."

"My wife had been on Mounjaro for several months and had seen dramatic weight loss. Our bro-in-law had a prescription but had a reaction, so he gave his supply to me. (My insurance doesn't cover it.) After 5 months, I had lost 50+ lbs. In 15 months, my wife lost over 170 pounds. Both of us combined our course with a keto diet: low carbs, high fat, and protein. The wife's sisters had also seen similar results while also using the keto diet. I am not diabetic, but my wife is. She has cut her use of insulin to the bare minimum and will still occasionally have low blood sugar. While I have run out of my supply, I used 5, 7.5, and 10. My wife has had a more managed regimen, gradually increasing to her current 12.5. Our only real side effect has been constipation. We are trying to handle that with an increase in eating more fiber and fiber supplements, along with using laxatives. To deal with our decreased food intake, we are both also taking vitamin supplements."
