Hello lovely people! I’m looking for a bit of advice on how I should proceed with titration and maintenance going forwards - the cost is starting to become a bit of an issue, and I’m hoping to at the very least reduce my dose to make things a bit easier for me.

For context, I am in the UK, I have been taking mounjaro for 2 years (!) I have lost 100lbs, and I am currently on 10mg. I have a small stockpile of 3 pens in the fridge, which I am taking once every 10 days. I have PCOS - which makes me very anxious to come off of GLP1 medication.

The highest dose I got to was 12.5mg which I treated down off of back in September last year - I experienced a small wobble and a gain of about 3lbs, but I managed to get things back on track over time and that evened out.

Weightloss has slowed significantly - I’ve been in the 11st bracket for about 8 months. But I think there are a number of reasons for that - I strength train heavy 4x a week, play roller derby for 2 hours once a week, run and practice my plyometrics twice a week. I essentially train like an athlete now, and I’m gaining a LOT of muscle and losing inches. When I see family once every 6 weeks, they always comment on how I’ve ’shrunk’ even though I stay the same weight(ish) - so I think that I’m gaining muscle and losing fat consistently.

I don’t track my calories but I know I eat roughly 1800-2000, burn around 2300-2500 per day. Trying to get better at eating intuitively.

My plan now is to titrate down to 7.5mg once every 10 days, using the pens in my fridge, while continuing to purchase pens. I’ll be buying 7.5s for a few months, then 5s, until I eventually build up a year’s stockpile, around 9 or so pens.

I’m hoping by that time, foundayo may become available in the UK and I can easily switch over to that when needed.

Does this sound like a doable plan, or am I setting myself up to gain everything back? I have about 15lbs left to lose in total, but I’m honestly quite happy with how I am at the moment - my goals really have shifted to muscle growth, athleticism and strength, and I’m not sure how to best approach that, I guess!
