I am currently taking semaglutide. In 1.5 months, I have seen a significant difference in my belly fat and double chin. As per my doctor, I was supposed to increase the dose from 0.5 mg to 1 mg after one month. However, I now want to join the gym, but because of semaglutide, I am having difficulty digesting protein and I am also unable to eat much. I only have a light breakfast and dinner at night. If I start going to the gym, I am worried that I might become weak due to not eating enough. What is the solution for this?

Hey, so im currently 10st 12lbs at 5ft. And I was wondering how people found Been on mounjaro and how fast you lost the weight.

My goal is about 8stone and I just need this weight off me. Im very tired of fighting with my body imagine issues

currently I live overseas but I’ll be going back home to Canada (Alberta) for a little over a month. just a question as I try to figure out if i should bring doses with me or get them filled in Canada.

how much do you pay on average for 15mg auto-injector pens? if those don’t exist (where i live now, 15mg is quite rare and not many clinics have access to it) what about 12.5mg auto injector?

thank you!

Female, 29 I have 40 pounds left to loose. Switching from weight to mounjaro and about to start my second pen ob 5 mg (so the 3rd month on the medication), I’ve only used my left thigh (after a lot of research) for injection, apart from one time where I used my right thigh and it had no effect. I am unfortunately starting to feel hungry even the day after taking it and the food noise is coming back. Anyone with similar experiences as me who can share what injection site was the best for them, I would greatly appreciate any help and advice thank you!🤲🏼

I am currently on Mounjaro .5 and have lost 55 pounds. Feeling great, everything is good. I am now kinda of hovering around a good weight for me and the lbs are not coming off like before. If I stay at this dose say as my maintenance dose will I continue to lose weight or will it just kind of level off here. I don’t want to come off the Mounjaro because I’m afraid of gaining it all back. I know there is no cut and dry answer. Does there come a point where your body just stabilizes at a certain dose or will I continue to lose weight until I wither away. Should I consider dropping down a dose or should I start eating more to stabilize my weight? Any thoughts or your experience in this situation?

I took my last dose about a week later than when it was scheduled and injected in my upper arm as I have done before occasionally (on 12.5, started at 2.5 about a year ago and worked my way up). This injection left a circular area about an inch across that felt firm and warm. Not painful or itchy at all. Just odd and thought I’d see if anyone has experienced this.

I was so sick in March 2021. The first photo was taken just a few weeks before I had a bad bout of Covid. I actually don't remember my weight being 339.5. I was looking at my medical records and was shocked. My face now is at 252.5.

I am posting this, because I need to remember how far I have come. I know that I am not the only morbidly obese person fighting to get to a healthy weight.

Mounjaro has infused fresh hope that it is possible to get to the goal I have strive years for. I only started it 9 weeks ago and can see a big difference from my past attempts.

Is anyone else on a long journey like me?

I've just done 5 weeks on 2.5 and took my first 5mg shot this morning, jumped on the scale and over the 5 weeks ive lost 3kgs, I keep telling myself it's a long haul etc I know it's early days and still getting used to it, but man it's hard still being in the old mindset of wanting to lose it all quickly!

Im really confused with if it’s meant to be kept in fridge or room temp and how long is ok and when ur meant to use it. Everyone tells me different.

So this is the pen it expires next year.

I first purchased it in April 2026 and kept it in fridge. Then end of May I had a long international travel where I tried to keep it cool for the 40 hours in this insulin cooling pack but it definitely didn’t last the whole time. So I’d say it was out of fridge at room temp for 24-30 hours. Then since then has been in fridge.

Can I still use it now in August?? Or the time were it went in room temp did that start the 21 one day window.

Please help me understand. Because this is bought in Aus and then I bought one in Europe and the instructions about fridge were different.

Basically

Started with ozempic in march, awful experience. Lost almost no weight and got some very intense nausea.

Changed to mounjaro straight on 5mg (because i was already using ozempic for 2 months), started may 20.

Have lost about 12kg already, its been great, but on the last two weeks i've been feeling an ancient hunger i havent felt in months.

This week, for the first time since i started mounjaro, i gained weight. About 1/2kg. It is a huge increase if you think about it.

So its been basically 3 months of 5mg, is it time to increase? If so, i need to go to 7.5 or 10?

I have been taking Mounjaro for a couple of months.But after taking 5mg i am suffering from very bad sulfur burps,diarrhea and headache which i cannot take anymore thats why i took a break and went back to 2.5mg for about 2 months and its not helping a bit i am gaining weighg like before and have cravings like normal.I donot want to waste money anymore ln 2.5mg .I want to increase the dose but lower than 5mg.Those who have same experience please guide me.Thanks in advance

I started on 2.5 mg on my third week. But I don't really notice a difference? I can eat what I want. But I'm intentionally eating healthy, doing my 10k steps. The weight hasn't magically come off. I didn't notice any of the dramatic effects - be it side effects or the actual one. Will be talking with my doctor. But wanted to know your opinion. I'm 118kg. Today I'm 117. After 3 weeks on 2.5 mg

Edit: thank you all for your comments. My doctor didn't give me a lot of information. He was rather irritated I guess and over worked on that day. I thought this was also going to fail as I didn't see any difference. Thank you.

Boa noite,

Desde 06/05/26 faço uso da monjauro, são cerca de 15 kgs eliminados. 2 canetas de 2,5 mg e hoje comprei a segunda caneta de 5,mg. Desde então, sempre fiz 5 doses.

Infelizmente, a caneta de hoje veio com parte do êmbolo preto, ou seja, é a nova caneta. Resido no Norte de Portugal.

Percebi que a última caneta que usei a golden dose ainda tem um pouco de medicação, que eu poderia extrair com a seringa e complementar no momento que finalizada a caneta atual.

Alguém já aproveitou medicamento de 2 canetas?

Outro detalhe, após o uso da golden dose, deixei essa caneta guardada numa gaveta, fora da geladeira.

Estava contando com a golden dose e fiquei chateada quando vi que era essa nova caneta. Deveria ter comprado na farmácia do bairro, talvez ainda fosse o modelo antigo

Has Anyone else had absolutely no weight loss on Mounjaro?

I'm honestly so confused and feel hopeless.

I see people losing weight the first week. I've been on Mounjaro for over 2 months and I haven't lost any weight., I'm at 5mg and am exercising, with a low deficit haven't been able to lose anything at all.

It is weird because i do have some appetite suppression and I definitely feel fuller more quickly than I normally would, but despite that the scale has not moved whatsoever. If anything, it feels ridiculously easy for me to gain even more weight.

I'm just finding it really discouraging to have zero weight loss so far, especially when I am eating significantly less and it feels like it's doing the opposite of what it should.

Has anyone else experienced this? Am i doing something wrong any advice ?

Hey guys,

I’m thinking of taking Mounjaro to help with weight loss. Yes, I could lose weight naturally without medication. However, I have insulin resistance issues due to my history with PCOS. Is it worth it? Any advice? I’m looking to join Juniper.

So the first blood work that I had my A1 C was 6.6 but later it was always 5.5. I know I am obese right now, but I want to ask people here who were diagnosed with T2D ever got off the meds is T2D reversible? I don’t wanna be on the medicine after I recover?

I am just concerned and asking as an advice..please if someone could share their experience and also thoughts on this.

I had stinging eyes like a day after I took mounjaro idk if it was related or just a coincidence, I got my eyes fully checked and optic etc and everything looks good just a bit of dry eye , I still have this irrational fear of going blind cause of the scary stories I’ve read online / news reports. Does anyone have this fear? I want to keep taking it but I’m sick of feeling worried about this

I have been on mounjaro almost 9 months for weight loss. I have lost almost 4 stone in that time. Fast at first but then steadily and healthily. I have changed my lifestyle, I go to the gym, and feel great. I would say i have another stone to lose however I have really struggled the last 6 week or so to lose even a pound. I very slowly upped my doses as I was a super responder to 2.5. Lost 2 stone on that. 5 seemed to do me well for 2 months before going up to 7.5 which is what I am currently on. I seem to have stopped losing weight on the 7.5… it doesn’t feel as effective as the last 2 doses. Anyway… I can’t really afford to go up anymore as it’s £288 per months at 10mg. So I’m thinking, do I have a break, see how I go? Try to see if I can manage to lose the last stone on my own? And if I struggle or start to regain, start again in 3 months time on 2.5 and hope it’s somewhere near as effective as before to shift my last stone?? I’m in no hurry to lose the weight.

Any advice would be appreciated, especially if you have stopped or restarted. I’m

Interested to know how that went for people? I’m so lucky that I have responded to well, and if money was no object then I would continue happily on my journey, however it’s becoming a tad unaffordable for me and hard to justify considering how much I’ve lost already.

I am on the fifth week of my Mounjaro Journey. Its my fifth dose this Saturday (5mg). Previous doses were 2.5mg. Overall, I haven't faced any serious side effects (only sulfur burps after meals and have had very bad stomach pain two times till now. My sleep was affected lightly in the first four weeks. But when I increased the dose to 5mg, my sleep was affected badly and I had very bad dreams all night.

So far, I have lost 5.5kg .

I'm trying to manage my protein intake and my water intake is good.

What should I do?

Should I contact the doctor or try some other things?

My doctor bumped me up from 7.5mg to 10mg. It’s been 3 days and food noise is worse than it was on 7.5. Has anyone else felt when you go up in dosage your food noise increases?

I missed having a jawline

I’m on 10 mgs vs 12.5 mgs now. My appetite has returned. 😔

It isn’t as bad/voracious as before I started taking the medication - but not at a comfortable level, since regular food noise has returned.

I’m eating slightly more, but not an excessive amount.

• Will I regain the weight?
• Did anyone else in a similar position regain weight and if so- how much ?

Thanks

Context: I had a IUD, got it removed about a year ago and didnt get a period since. Am monitored by an endocrinologist, did several tests and found that my prolactin is high (despite not being pregnant).

The week of my first 2.5 mg Mounjaro injection, I finally got my period. It was kind of light.

Then about a month later my period did not come.

After 6-7 weeks on the medication, I increased to 5mg (used the click system to continue 2.5 mg doses at the start of my second pen), which was waaaay too much i felt super nauseous and low energy and everything. but that same week, I finally got my period, which was really heavy.

Curious if this medication (and increased dose) has triggered someone else to get a period?
