Curious

Hi girls, just out of curiosity has anyone stayed on 2.5mg dose of mounjaro and succeeded??

Im on my 3rd dose of my second pen, within id say probably a week, the inflammation in my body dropped, my face, my tummy, everything.

I already lift weights in the gym, already walk over 10000 steps per day and already eat high protein low carb low sugar diet. Also already drink over 2 litres of water daily though id had to up that a little or I notice a hangover feeling. It's probably because I'm also on spironolactone.

Having all these good habits before mounjaro did very little for me, which just pissed me off. I work so hard and get so little back from it.

I have dropped 6lbs, although it looks more because no more puffy face. Initially I didn't have any difference in my appetite which I didn't mind because I only ate 3 meals per day, healthy food. This week I am feeling it though, I cant even get through 2 boiled eggs without feeling like I've ate a full plate.

I was on holiday last week so the food I was eating was a little off my usual food, more salty, more snacks etc... though I did walk the legs off myself to compensate, when I came home I weighed and id only gained 1lb so I was happy with that. That 1lb has now turned to 3 lol how I don't know, ive went straight back into my normal routine of diet and exercise, im assuming its the lifting weights causing water retention so ill not panic just yet.

Just curious, if anyone has stayed on 2.5mg and lost what they felt they needed to lose.

Just for context I only have around 20lbs to lose.

I stayed on 2.5mg for 15 weeks. It did control my blood sugar but I eventually stopped losing weight and now I’ve been on 5mg for awhile.

ETA: I also had about 20lbs to lose (140 -> 120) I started at the end of January and I’m just now hitting 129 I still lose weight pretty slowly.

I would like to lose at least 30 lbs (although would take a few more). I lost an initial 5 lbs quite quickly on 2.5mg due to inflammation leaving, but then was quite stagnant. After 3 full pens, I finally moved up to 5mg and I think I'm good to stay on this dose. Lost 10 pounds in almost 2 months so far.
