23kg lost since September
39M UK – Mounjaro progress: 107.9kg to 84.9kg
Just wanted to share my experience so far.
​
I started Mounjaro at 107.9kg and I’m now down to 84.9kg, so roughly 23kg lost. That’s about 51lbs, or around 3 stone 9lbs.
​
I’m currently on 10mg. I’ve had side effects along the way, mainly nausea, diarrhoea and sulphur burps, but nothing I’d call serious.
​
I’ve set my calorie budget at around 1,700 a day. Realistically, I probably hit that about 60% of the time, and the other 40% I’m closer to 2,000. I’m still eating three proper meals a day and I start every morning with a protein/fibre smoothie.
​
I’ve lost a similar amount of weight before, about 10 years ago, and got down to around 84kg then as well. For me, I can gain and lose weight pretty easily, but I think I naturally have quite a low BMR, so calorie counting really matters. Without that accountability, it’s very easy for me to overeat and slowly creep back up.
​
Honestly, I’m thrilled with the weight loss and the difference it’s made. No regrets at all.
​
I know it isn’t for everyone, but if you’re on the fence, I’d genuinely say it’s worth considering. I thought it was expensive at first, but I’m probably saving more than that each month by not bingeing on food and snacks.
​
I have a set of Renpho smart scales and weigh myself every morning after a morning whizz. The smart scales then push that data into my LoseIt! Calorie counter which I have found to be the best app for the job.

Any other questions just ask
