Description
Mounjaro is an injectable weight loss medication that contains the active ingredient tirzepatide. Tirzepatide works by activating two receptors (GLP-1 and GIP) to increase the level of hormones in the body,helping you to feel fuller for longer after a meal.
Mounjaro should be taken just once a week alongside a healthy diet and exercise. It has been proven to help people lose around 22.5% of their initial body weight by week 72 of treatment, at a maximum dose of 15 mg.
To be eligible for Mounjaro for weight loss, you must have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or more (obese), or of at least 27 kg/m2 (overweight) and have a risk factor or a health condition that is affected by weight.

I’m a 67-year-old female and weighed 365 lbs when I began Mounjaro. In just under a year, I’ve lost 85 lbs. I’m now on the 10 mg dose. I only wish Medicare covered it because I don’t know how much longer I can afford the $250 a month I pay out of pocket. But on other places it’s more expensive am glad to find myself here. good news is that I now qualify for knee replacement surgery. I have struggled with obesity my whole life, and Mounjaro has been a godsend for me.

Awesome medication! Started end of Sep 2024 for weight loss. Straight away I noticed that my food noise was gone, sugar cravings were gone, and I felt more motivated and had more energy. I have started yoga and regular exercise for the first time in ages. So far down from 92 kg to 85 kg. Not many side effects at all. Very happy Australia 5 mg vial PCOS non-diabetic 47 female.

Significant loss followed medically, 167, to 117 approximately 8 months. Outstanding and backing down the dosage now, to maintain and come off Mounjaro. It has been a life-changing event.

I have had A1C 11 after two months of using Mounjaro, it’s now 7, and I have been losing 2 or three pounds a week. A friend took a picture of me, and I actually saw the weight loss. I am 64 years old. I have had high blood sugar and pressure for over 10 years, so it’s more than just nice to be normal. Thank you, Mounjaro medicine helped with both.

I had previously taken Byetta, Ozempic, and Trulicity. With each, I maybe lost 10-12 pounds. I started Mounjaro on August 1, 2024. I weighed 195 pounds. Four months later, I have not had any nausea. I do have some tiredness and constipation. As of December 1, 2024, I have lost 32 pounds. Hope to continue for at least four more months. Would like to lose another 20 pounds if possible. Hope to find a way to keep the weight off! Feel so much better. Was wearing size 16-18, now 12-14! My A1C went from 7.4 to 5.7!! Best news!! All other blood work numbers improved, especially cholesterol. I have very little craving for sugar or meat but try to eat at least four ounces of meat per day!

After the first dose, I experienced nausea and headache, but no side effects after the first dose. I have been on Mounjaro for 10 weeks, and my daily finger sticks show a huge lowering of blood sugar!
