Weight gain after 3.5 months on Mounjaro - seeking advice
Hi everyone! I’m currently 3.5 months into my Mounjaro journey and I’m feeling a bit discouraged, so I wanted to reach out for some perspective.
For context: I’m 160cm (5’3”), and I have hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s (AIT).
So far, I’ve lost a total of 8kg, which I know is progress, but I’ve hit a really frustrating plateau.
My weight hit a low of 67kg on June 5th, but since then, the scale has been trending upwards. A couple of days ago I was at 68.8kg. To be honest, I gained about 1kg just over the last month, even before my recent vacation.
I just came back from a week-long vacation where I definitely indulged in some beer and cocktails—I’m sure I hit my maintenance calories or maybe even went over—but the upward trend actually started about 4 weeks ago, not just this past week.
I still have a long way to go to reach my goal weight, and I’m feeling pretty stuck. Did you find that you needed to increase your dosage to break the plateau, or is this just a normal part of the process?
Any tips or experiences you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
