"Has worked very well, lost almost 15 lbs since I started injections this past August. Slow and steady, I am taking the lowest dosage and go every two or three weeks now for injections. Eat healthier and stay away from sugary sweets."

"I have had great success with Mounjaro. I switched from Ozempic and the weight just started falling off. I feel like something was broken in me that is now fixed. I normally lose about 2 lbs a week on a 1200 calorie diet. My weight loss has gone from 2 lbs a week to 4-5 lbs a week. I don't understand how it works but I'm happy with my results."

"Let me preface this by saying I’m extremely sensitive to medication and have terrible IBS. Mounjaro was Godsent. I lost 45lbs in about 9 months on this. While I did have days of bad GI side effects, I could usually trace it to eating something I shouldn’t have. Gotta eat clean on this to avoid those side effects. Otherwise, I did great. I will say on day 2/3 after the shot, I was always really tired and cold. It always passed, but I still planned for it. Give it a go!"

"I have used Mounjaro for several months for weight loss, along with Phentermine and Topamax, under the supervision of my doctor. I had lost over 135 pounds without it in 2 years, but still had 30 pounds to lose to be at a healthy weight. The combination of the three medications, including Mounjaro, was helping significantly. It helped me feel fuller longer, control portions, and appetite! I also changed my diet. However, my insurance denied me from taking it. Now in 3 weeks, I have gained 8 pounds, even with my diet change."

"I have been diabetic and overweight for 20 or more years, along with several health issues and various medications. Thank God for my doctor and Mounjaro. I started at 2.5 and 204 lbs in March, with few side effects. It is easy to use. I am now on 5.0 and 64 lbs lighter, and my A1c is at 5.7. I can breathe better and go for walks more. I crave no sugar or carbs. I was miserable with no hope in sight. I will be going on the 7.5 with hopefully no side effects. Thank you Mounjaro and my doctor for giving me my life back."

"T2 and overweight. 335 lbs down to 299 lbs inside of 90 days on 10 mg. Mounjaro. Much to do with loss of lifetime panic eating (lost in first 2 weeks). Interruption, hospital for a week, full-time antibiotics due to infection, poor hospital food regained weight. Migrated to 12.5 and now 15 mg. to continue closing 2023 and moving into 2024. No side effects. A1c holding at 5.6/5.7 for the last 1.5 years."

"I am a 61-year-old female. I have been overweight for over 20 years and also dealing with other health issues. I started taking Mounjaro just a little over a year. I started with 5mg in the first week and lost 9lbs in one week, then I increased to 7mg and continued to lose weight. Long story short, I am now on 15mg and I have lost a total of 90lbs, from 339 to 247. This is unbelievable. I too have to make myself eat, like other reviews have stated. I feel so good. I have had 3 major back surgeries within the past 3 years. My A1C was never good, but now it's perfect. I used to walk hunched over, and now my posture is perfect. I want to lose 50lbs or more but I am happy with the state I'm in. However, I will be extremely happy to lose some more weight. I am a living testament that these injections work, just like the thousands of other reviews are saying. Where was this medication 20 years ago?"

"This is magic. It's just my second dose 0.25 mL. I lost 5 kg in less than 2 weeks. I don't feel hungry at all. It's not about losing weight only. I breathe better, I sleep better, not nervous anymore. I'm 43 years old male but feels like I'm 27 years old."

"In about 2 months, I lost 18 pounds on Mounjaro 7.5. The only side effect I had was constipation, which was easily relieved by MiraLax and some extra water. It was so easy to use. I am happy with the results! The downside is the killer-high price."

"Diet, exercise & 1,000 mg of Metformin twice per day has not improved the quality of my life. My disciplined efforts kept me in a pre-diabetes state & made me insulin resistant, worsening my other health conditions. To improve the quality of my life & afford access to a drug that might help control my glucose & worsening health issues, I sold my car & now pay approximately $1,000 per month out of pocket for Mounjaro. It has changed my life! No more blurry vision due to fluctuating glucose levels. My energy level is consistent. I’m able to start exercising, as well as participating in family activities. I’m slowly but steadily losing weight which I believe will improve other health issues such as high cholesterol, blood pressure, insulin resistance, beginning signs of neuropathy in legs, and exercise intolerance. The good news is that as a pre-diabetic, Mounjaro helps my body properly utilize glucose. Sadly, I can't continue due to the cost, but Mounjaro WORKS & gives back hope!"

"I started Mounjaro exactly 7 days ago. I'm 6'4'' and was 320.5 lbs. Today, on day 7, I'm 309 lbs. I'm walking 3 miles a day. I was on 25 units of Humalog and 50 units of Lantus twice a day, and now I'm off insulin. I know I can't expect that kind of weight loss to continue, but my food portions have significantly decreased. For example, a couple of weeks ago, I would have had an English Muffin with two eggs and 3 sausage patties to fill up. Today, I had a piece of toast and one fried egg on top. I'm full right now! I previously tried Ozempic, and it gave me bad headaches, significant itching, and a feeling of sickness. I get slight itching on Mounjaro, no headache, and it appears that my bowel movements are actually very healthy compared to before taking the drug. I just hope this drug doesn't have any significant side effects that I don't know about!"

"Mounjaro helped bring down my blood pressure medication and cholesterol medication and my A1C. My arthritis in my hands helped me to feel so much better and energetic every morning. Exercising was easy. It also dropped my weight by 15 lbs in the first two months. This medication truly helps."

"I started Mounjaro for weight loss on 10/10/2023 and have lost 23 pounds as of 11/04/2023. I feel full most of the time, so my food intake has decreased. I am paying more attention to my eating habits. I eat more liquid meals with lots of protein, healthy snacks, and greatly lowered my salt intake while drinking lots of water daily. I have increased my exercise because I know I need to tone and firm along the journey. I feel so much better on the days that I exercise. My side effects have been nausea and extreme fullness. Sipping protein shakes and herbal tea with mint help soothe the stomach on those days of nausea. I highly recommend this drug for weight loss. I have seen others with amazing results."

"6 months, 63 pounds, what else is there to say? Light exercise every other day. For the first 5 months, I also used Nutrisystem. Magic medicine. A1C went down a full point."

"Within 30 days, I lost 19 pounds and my appetite is satisfied with an extremely small amount of food. Sugary food is NOT a good idea because it will give you diarrhea. Headache and fatigue when I went from 2.5 to 5. My doctor, the best ever, said she is going to keep me on 5 because she doesn’t think I’ll need the 7.5. Fatigue is only two days after taking injection. I’m sure my A1C will be lowered as I am pre-diabetic. I went from 222.8 to 203.3. I’m Afro and Native American (mix) and I’m thankful to the Lord for this medicine. I expect to be 175 by March which is my goal."

"The first month on 2.5, and it has been *very* effective. I selected weight loss above, but the real reason is I have been pre-diabetic for some time and the numbers are rising quickly. I am now extremely close to a diabetic diagnosis. It is hard to describe the change in food craving. It used to be as if my brain turned off when I was near food, so seeing candy in the drug store and buying and eating it were almost automatic, and I thought about it after I had bought the candy. Now I had a bowl of candy bars for Halloween and was not interested in eating one. I walked by it all day on Halloween and had no desire to eat it. This seems to work on food craving in much the same way Prozac works on mental obsessive negative thoughts. The only side effect I notice is a beginning tendency toward constipation. I am a bit needle-phobic, but the injections are sort of like a rubber band snap on the skin. It is extremely easy to use."

"I have been on Mounjaro for 2 months and have lost 21 lbs without any real change to my diet and exercise. I've had minimal side effects and am excited to bump up to the next dosage."

"Thanks for your efforts in publicizing the difficulties related to weight loss and the great results thus far regarding Mounjaro. I'm 73 years old. T2D and have a history of heart attack and ongoing heart disease. Every type of diet I've tried in the past has shown great results, but at 316 lbs this year, I no longer had the discipline or physical ability to repeat any of those efforts. I started on Mounjaro, paying my own way, on March 3rd of this year. 43 weeks in, with no side effects of any type, I've lost 103 lbs. I'm eating in a far less and healthier manner as I am able, but have no strict food regimen. The same goes for exercise. This is a miracle drug, with terrific results for blood pressure (now 118/68), A1c (5.7), PSA actually decreasing (.15), and I can now walk up to 3 miles at a time compared to 1 block in March. The only prohibitive factor for most people is the cost. Cancer, heart disease, and diabetes don't cause obesity. It seems the profession has it backwards when it comes to treatment."

"I lost 10 kgs with 9 injections. In general, I feel good. I am more tired than usual, and I keep getting this weird numbness on my shin that comes and goes."

"Female Age: 61, 5'7, starting weight: 223, current weight 183 (lost 40 lbs!), goal weight 145. This has been over a period of 5 months. I did not rely on Mounjaro alone, I have put in hard work with exercise (walking 3 miles, 3 x's/week) and cut out all carbs and sugar. Side effects I experienced at first: mild nausea, weird cold chills and exhaustion. Now I am used to it and have very little side effects. Currently taking 12.5 dose. Love it, I feel amazing and luckily my insurance covers it 100%."

"I have type 2 diabetes and have been taking Mounjaro for 8 weeks. I have just started the 7.5mg dosage. My doctor started me with 2.5mg for 4 weeks, and then 5mg for 4 weeks. I have lost 25 pounds and am no longer taking oral diabetic medication. The only side effect I have is a headache. It is very easy to use, and there is no pain with the injection. I inject it into my stomach."

"I've been on this for 6 weeks. It has cut me back from eating so much and I've lost 22 lbs. I feel better. I'm able to walk up a flight of stairs now without being out of breath. I've had no side effects as of yet. I'm pretty pleased so far. So, as far as medical condition, I'm sure my Dr. will be doing blood work up the next time I'm there which is coming up."

"I am 74 years old. I was thin until I was 40. Started eating all the wrong food as my husband showed his love with food. I started Mounjaro last year in October. I didn't lose any weight for the first 2 months. I lost 5 lbs in the third month. Then I started losing more. I went from 175 to 115 by August. I never wake up at night and started having a problem making it to the bathroom to pee 3 times a week. I called my doctor and she lowered my Mounjaro dosage to 10 mg and I was fine. I stopped taking Mounjaro last month. Mounjaro makes you just not hungry. I learned to be picky about what I ate. I chose healthy food and feel lighter. I have learned to be healthy and thin. Yes, I am short at 5ft 3 inches and happy to have taken Mounjaro."
