I’ve lost 1 stone according to the scales but my clothes still feel tight, I don’t look any different so where has the stone really went?
8 months on MJ
Hello! I’m on MJ 8 months now. The two side effects I experience are constipation. I take Metamucil daily and it helps a bit. The other is hair loss. I lost 23 lbs from July through October and have held steady since then. I fluctuate between 152 and 155. I’ve started working out 3x a week about a month ago for strength…
What macros are you doing?
hi, new here. I’ve taken 2 weeks dose at 2.5mg, first week no issue. This week really struggling to eat. What kcals are you all aiming for each day. I’ve managed 843 today & it was a struggle. That’s not me at all! I’m trying to make sure I’m eating enough protein but it’s so hard. Help!
Do the side effects ever get better?
I’m on week six of MJ (5mg). I feel so nauseous and weak for the three days after the injection. I keep hearing “it gets better” but does it really? I’ve read that once the medication reaches a “therapeutic level”, the side effects will fade. My doctor asked if I wanted to switch to ozempic but I’ve heard the side effects…
New to Mounjaro
Hello, I'm on week 2 of Mounjaro 2.5 dose. I lost 4.5 lbs in my first week. I just started myfitnesspal today so I can start tracking what I'm putting into my body. I'm a huge snacker out of boredom. Lots of cravings. My cravings were much better this past week so I hope that continues. I still snacked some, but not nearly…
Protein & Supplements
Hello, I had joined a Mounjaro for Diabetes group on Facebook. A bit overwhelming. Everyone is saying we need over 100g of Protein daily. I already logged my food for today and I'm at 73. What happens if you don't get enough protein? Also, they all talk about the supplements they take like this is absolutely essential.…

Simaglutide
Hi I am Denise Greco in Ormond Beach Fl. I just started the simaglutide. I have lost 6lbs. I just do not want to eat. Eating more proteins. I am not really tracking a diet. How are you doing with it/ how long have you been on it
Had my 7 month check-in
I was a bit disappointed. My A1c did not plummet the way I had hoped. It did tick down a little but I am still not under 7. I think I may have added too much fruit to my diet and I did get lax about taking the Metformin (it makes me gag). I will do better. I go back in September and in the meantime I was prescribed 10mg…
