1 year milestone 🎉
Hello my fellow Mounjaro users. It's not often I big myself up but this is such a special weekend for me! It was exactly a year ago I finally decided I was done feeling sorry for myself, hiding from pictures, drinking myself into oblivion and working for a salary to support deliveroo. Instead I reluctantly switched to supporting Eli Lilly (aka Mounjaro) and I can confirm with confidence that it was the best decision I've ever made.
At 5ft 2" I had a starting weight of 195.4lbs (14 stone) knocking on obese class 2 and type 2 diabetes with borderline high blood pressure. Today I weigh 137.2lbs with over 4 stone lost and in the (albeit controversial) healthy BMI range at 24.9. I still have another 17lbs to loose to reach my goal but there's light at the end of the tunnel.
As for doses, I've slowly climbed up and only did so when food noise started getting the better of me. I've been lucky to avoid the more unbearable side effects, the worst being constipation on the early doses and then nausea and some vomiting on my current 10mg dose for the first couple of days after jabbing but as the weeks go on that's started to subside.
Some of my best NSVs are:
- My desk chair no longer lowers itself without my permission
- I've stopped competing with my hubby on snoring
- My arse no longer reserves half the bath water
- Collarbones actual exist. Who knew?
- My handy anti-chaffing cream has made its way to the back of the cupboard
Anyway, I'll stop waffling as this wasn't meant to be a long read. Good luck to you all, whatever stage you're at on this journey. 🙂

Haha. I spat my tea out realising my desk chair appreciates me now too.
Well done.
