"I'm a white male, 51. In October 2023, I weighed 312 pounds and was pre-diabetic. My doctor prescribed 2.5 Mounjaro. I've been taking it since then. As of July 25, I've dropped 74 pounds, or about 24% of my starting weight. I have not noticed any impactful side effects. Exercise changes: • yoga 3x per week • 2.6-mile walk 4x per week • 30 minutes elliptical 3x per week. Diet changes: • no sugary drinks - no Coke, no Starbucks • no candy or other junk food • more nuts, proteins, salads • no food after 8 PM. I feel great!"

"Easy to use. Body tolerates it better than others. Weight loss is more than other leading brands."

"I’ve been on Mounjaro for one year this week. I’m not diabetic or prediabetic. I’m using it for weight loss only. My starting weight was 264 lbs. I now weigh 179 lbs. I haven’t had any negative side effects since starting on Mounjaro. My GP runs a battery of tests every 3 months to track my vital levels. So far she and I are both amazed. I’ve started on daily walking for exercise because I feel so much better! My insurance won’t pay for the monthly injections so the cost is high, but my husband says it’s worth it. I do too! I’m on a 10.0 mg dose. I recently had to stop the drug for a month because of surgery. I didn’t gain any weight back during that time."

"I have been on the lowest dose of Mounjaro, 2.5 ml, for 3.5 weeks. I'm averaging a loss of just over 2 lbs per week. I'm going slow on purpose. Definitely less thoughts about food and less appetite. Feel full way sooner. I usually eat pretty clean anyways but now I'm weightlifting twice weekly in addition to 30-minute walks. All about 4-5 days per week. I'm 59, so my endurance is different now. I do get nausea on and off, which doesn't bother me. Depending on how much vegetable matter I consume, my bowel movements are good. Sometimes I get a bit of diarrhea but nothing terrible. Because of my age and lack of exercise, my BMI and fat % is not as good as it should be, and I struggle with the inherited fat gene thing from my family history. I would highly recommend this product. I do not have any form of diabetes."

"I started taking this medication for weight loss. I am 5 foot nine, and I got up to 200 pounds. I lost 11 pounds the first month, and I continued to lose about 5 pounds a month thereafter. My side effects were minimal. I did not have constipation; other people have reported it, but I had quite the opposite. It absolutely decreased my hunger, and by month four, I noticed a huge difference in my fibromyalgia pain. After one year of medication, I have lost 55 pounds. I have never felt better in my entire life because the benefits to my fibromyalgia pain are significant. I decided to go on the shot every other month for maintenance. So far, in the last six months, I have not lost any more weight or gained any more. I tried to push it to three weeks. I did not gain weight, but my body pain came back. So, I am back to the shot every 5 mg, which has been successful for me. I am so grateful to not be obsessing over food. I have to say I have craved red meat more than anything during this diet."

"Started it 4 days ago. No negative side effects. Cravings subsided. I've lost half a stone already! Can't comment on my blood glucose levels yet but here's hoping."

"Have lost 60.4 pounds since February 1. I was pre-diabetic and my a1c is now normal. My blood pressure is no longer high and I no longer have shortness of breath, probably not from the Mounjaro but because of the weight loss. The only side effect I have had is forgetting to eat and drink."

"I took Mounjaro for one month. I had abdominal pain while using it. I was fine after that but three months later I ended up with severe abdominal pain, loss of smell and taste, and severe nausea. It's been a month of side effects on the fourth month since stopping it and still sick. I was given this medication for weight loss. Read instructions. I'm not going to rate it because I should have read the instructions."

"It's fantastic wish I had been on it ages ago! The only side effect I am getting is very cold hands and feet. A little nauseous on the 5mg but only on week 2 of it so I'm sure it will settle down. Loving how easy it is to take, losing weight and feeling so much better. Highly recommend."

"I used Mounjaro for 8 months. I went from 210 down to 100. It worked very well for me, almost too well. I have not taken it for over a month, and I am told I need to gain 30 pounds. My doctor took me out of work and sent me to a nutritionist and rehab. I am still losing weight even though I have stopped the medicine. My taste buds and appetite are still not back to normal. If you do take this medication, it does work, but be careful of losing too much."

"I'm very new to this drug. It's only my 2nd week using it. I'm a 47-year-old very active woman. I don't have loads of weight to shift, probably around 2 and a half stone. Over the last 4 years, I've lost around 4 stone on my own and kept it off, but I can't seem to lose the remaining, so I thought I would give it a go. I read hundreds of reviews about the drug, so I was aware of all of the side effects and prepared for them as part of the course. I'm now 10 days into it, and I haven't had 1 side effect. I don't know if I'm just one of the lucky ones, but I'm not complaining. I started on a Wednesday morning weighing in at 13st 9lbs. By the following Wednesday, I was 13st 5lbs. It's now 5 days on from that, and I'm down to 13st 2lbs. I'm honestly shocked by the results. I have no regrets from using it and look forward to the end results."

"Lost 10 kg in 3.5 months with daily exercise and calorie calorie-controlled diet. It does not eliminate the cravings though, I always have them, just needed the mindset that this is an expensive drug and I have to make it work. No side effects at all compared to what I experienced with Saxenda. Saxenda gave me the most horrible constipation I've ever had in my life. I genuinely thought I was gonna end up in A&E for impacted stool. I'm very happy with Mounjaro."

"Since I've been using Mounjaro, I've lost 48 lbs since November without really dieting or exercising. I've gone from a 40-inch waist down to a 34-inch waist. I just started the 10 MG shot and looking to lose another 15 lbs."

"I have been in Mounjaro for 7 weeks now & have lost 1 & half stone. I was Always tired and feet and back were killing me due to me being overweight. Since taking this drug I have only experienced feeling cold & the odd headache here and there. The positive side to taking Mounjaro is I no longer have menopausal hot sweats at night & can jog up my stairs without breathlessness, constant food cravings gone & feel genuinely happier. I drink plenty of water as recommended as this seems to help with weight loss. Overall Mounjaro has changed my life for the better."

"210 to 165 in three months. Started on 2.5ml and increased to 5.0ml after the first month. I went back to 2.5ml after the third month. I have been experiencing low blood pressure symptoms now at six months. My doctors are trying to balance my other medications which may be causing this."

"I am in the 3rd week of using Mounjaro on a 2.5 dosage. I have lost 12 lbs already in the first 2 weeks. My starting weight was 18 stone and I am now 17.2 stones. The only side effect was constipation, but I have used laxatives to help. My cravings for food have totally disappeared. This is a game changer for me. I have struggled with my weight since I was a teenager, and since reaching menopause, this got worse. I was a comfort food eater, but now I have no cravings whatsoever. It is easy to inject. I am continuing with Mounjaro, and I am hoping I may finally lose my excess weight for good."

"It definitely works and helps you not want to eat. I eat 1/4 of what I used to eat. Also, it helps you lose even more if you eat low-calorie food and exercise. This is a phenomenal product."

"I have been losing about 2 lbs per week since I started using this. I was 170 lbs when I started and am down to 149 lbs over a period of 10 weeks. I was on the 2.5 mg for the first 4 weeks and then increased to 5 mg after that. It has taken away the 'food noise' where I am no longer preoccupied with what I'm going to eat and when. I have had a major decrease in appetite and there are days when I will only have a milkshake and not be hungry for anything else."

"2.5 worked great, no side effects. When I moved to the 5.0, I started to have increased heart rate. I am going to talk to my doctor about going back to the 2.5. So far, lost 20 lbs in 3 months."

"7 days done. It definitely is working amazingly. Struggling to eat, so I'm making sure what I can manage is balanced: proteins, fruits, and veggies, low carbs! Yes, no side effects so I'm happy."
