    Hello,

    Right next to you! I lost 50kg 6 years ago and as I get older it is slowly creeping up. I need to lose 20lb and get rid of the high cholesterol I have recently developed. I am 55yo and usually use heavy exercise to keep my weight down but it gets tougher when you get older. My first jab today. 2.5ml for 4 weeks then up to 5ml.

    I had my first dose today. Looking to lose 45kg to get me back to 100kg.

    I'd be interested to hear people's experiences. I'm hoping that the mounjaro will silence the voices in my head related to food and snacking long enough for me to put in place some good, healthy habits.

    I've started making changes in my lifestyle to be more active.

    Have any of you had the side effects, is there anything you wish you'd known when you started?

    If my family will allow it I'm hoping to play sports 2 or 3 times a week and then hopefully some strength training to try and keep whatever muscle I have.

    Hi, I'm new to Mounjaro too - first jag last Friday. I'm Peri-M so the weight is creeping up. Ideally, want to lose 25kg (currently 101kg). Typing in the stones/pounds is scarier than kilos :-P

    Have noticed, that I'm not thinking about food as much - almost like I'm not bothered, which is strange as I LOVE food! Been successful doing keto in the past - but even then, I was thinking about meal prep a lot.

    I've only had 1 jab so far and while it may be a placebo effect today is the first day I didn't wake up thinking about food. Maybe this is what thib people are like normally!

    I feel a little nauseous which may be contributing to not wanting food, but that's fine.

    I'm feeling quite positive today.

    Hi! I started Mounjaro today (02 August), with a shot in the morning, and I’m not sure what to expect… I’m definitely feeling fuller after having eaten half of what I normally would and going to be content with not wondering what I can dig out to snack on. Does the feeling of fullness increase over the week and then taper down? It’s not like I’m eating crumbs you know like the way I imagined it would be. But I didn’t think about food at all today.

    Day 8 for me. 0 food noise which oh my goodness is such a relief. Lost 6lb this week. I'm hoping the food noise doesn't return. No side effects so far. My age meant the weight has just crept on and I'm the heaviest I've ever been. The weight loss is a side effect and great for my health but fir me the lack of food noise means I feel like I am getting my life back.
