[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

@@MindyMikami thank you Mindy

[@candybar72]

Pam, would recommend that you watch youtube video called 100 pounds down: How to transition to maintenance on Zepbound/mounjaro. Her name is Kristen DiBiase. She talks about the BMI chart and body fat percentage and age. Very good information . Of course you want to talk to your doctor. I have lost 62 pounds on Mounjaro 2.5, I talked to a nurse practioner 6 weeks ago and gave me a goal weight she was also saying BMI charts not recommend for me, she was looking at my muscle percentage and body fat. I have 6 pounds to go!!

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

@@candybar72 oh yes I follow her too 💜💜 I was definitely thinking that would be the plan to follow too get to my goal weight then each month titrate down I just figure out what is my goal weight going to be now I think I will rewatch that video too 💜 thank you friend

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

@@candybar72 oh ya I’ve heard about you losing so much weight on just the 2.5 That is super awesome 👏 I’m so happy for you too. I am thinking b about having a maintenance level at the end too :)

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

@@candybar72 I better talk to my medical provide too and see what she recommends as well

[@HeatherPaulineWeightloss]

You’d be surprised how much the extra skin/fat weighs actually. You might have ten-twelve lbs of extra skin and if so then you should definitely subtract that from your current weight to have a more accurate number. Funny I just said that about my hand weights today, try other ones felt lighter and my husband said it was because the bar we have for the new ones weigh 2.5lbs itself. So I put 5lbs on but all together it’s 7.5lbs then! I think you look great and not “scary skinny” at all

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

@@HeatherPaulineWeightloss Heather that’s so funny and I think that’s the deal with those metal ones they are my husbands weights i have a set that my daughter bought me with the vinyl coating and it was much easier to use ha ha 😆 I definitely need to use these weights more I was doing pretty good then I started doing other things and didn’t get back to lifting weights I should probably find a good work out on KZbin too. And I am definitely Wiley going to start thinking about how much weight this extra skin/ fat weighs to subtract it too and know that if I had it removed I’d probably get closer to the 150 that is still stuck in my head as a number I would like 💜💜💜💜

Congratulations 🎉. Whats the highest dosage you've gone up to? It's best to stay as low as possible as long as there's weight loss. It's beyond wonderful that you're a super responder!!😊❤️

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

Hi There my highest dose has been 10 mg and I’m still on it and have been since the beginning of Jan 2024 that amazing I still get great results too It getting time to titrate down to 7.5 and yes I am nervous because 10 mg has been so great to me 💜

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

Oh ya I’m and so lucky to be a super responder when most diets and health changes haven’t been that way. I had gastric bypass 24 years ago and I guess I did lose pretty fast on that and maybe that could also be why I’m also responding great to this. However, when I just did keto, low carb, whole 30 and others, I couldn’t lose more than about 25 lbs. it took me 7 months in 2022-23 to lose 45 lbs with low carb and walking. Then I started Mounjaro

[@belindar4544]

May I ask how long were you on 10 Mounjaro and how long were you on 7.5? You did great in one year I have hit a big stall. Trying to figure out how to make the scale move again. I am on 7.5.

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

@@belindar4544 hi Belinda I was on 7.5 for 2 months then I started 10 mg at the beginning of January so it’s been 8.5 months on 10 mg and It’s still working great At the beginning of August 2023 I started the 2.5, and my Dr wanted to see how I tolerated it, then moved me up to 5, I took 5 for 2 months then 7.5 for 2 months.

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

When I started 10 mg, I heard about rotating my shots to the arms and thighs and I was just rotating to each side of my belly I really think rotating to the other spots helped me too My weight stalls happened more when I took 5 and 7.5 but it really wasn’t too much of a stall maybe 2 weeks of not losing them I noticed that I needed to drink more water and walk more and that helped out big time Then I increased my protein and that made a difference

[@belindar4544]

@@MounjarojourneywithPam thank you for the response. I have been on a stall since October I gain and lose the same one or 2 pounds. So frustrating. But I finally am going to start 10 on Friday. I hope that will help the scale move again. I started April of 2023. And have lost a total of about 70 pounds. I still have a good 70 to go also. I will be so happy just to see 199. so far I have had zero side effects.

[@belindar4544]

@@MounjarojourneywithPam the doctor told me to try berberine with the meds. Maybe that could help the scale too.

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

@@belindar4544 it sounds like we had about the same amount to lose too I have a couple of friends who have struggled for several months too but they are in the highest Mounjaro dose of 15 mg. I would move up to 10 if it were me too. A few things that I think helped me to kick a stall, was to trick my body some. I would eat more carbs one day, drink 90-100 oz of water, walk 2-3 miles but not all at once and I would I also take body measurements. I would be sure to have 100 grams of protein, although I heard to have the same grams as your goal weight Which seems like too much since I expect not to go under 150-155 ish. And I worked at getting 8 hrs of sleep Maybe these can help

[@kckc4833]

Lost 40 then it stopped. Gained back 30. The food talk came back. Not sure what to do.

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

Similar situation with my sister but hers was due to insurance coverage at first. Which GLP1 peptide are you taking and is there anything else that has changed ?

[@msm2181]

I just started last week. Why did you not do the shot in the leg ?I did belly last week. Not sure which I want to do tonight.

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

@@msm2181 hi and welcome 🤗 I’m so excited for you So in the first 6 months, I just followed advice from my friend who had diabetes and injected on the sides of the belly area alternating sides and I didn’t even read the Mounjaro box about the other sites I thought it red just other suggestions lol Then I watch countess of shopping and how she rotates So I started injecting in the back of the arms but I alternated arms and stomach and I noticed a bigger difference in appetite suppression and weight loss I think I may have injected into my quad muscle and I was very hungry that week so the pic in the box showed the top of the quad and I think that has more muscle then get I’ve seen people inject more on the inner thigh so maybe I should I try that too My tip is to rotate for sure Also I was just more comfortable injecting into my belly and I was scared the arms would hurt lol but nah it’s just a small poke. Let me know which location you try tonight Either the other side of your belly, which you might feel more comfortable with in the beginning or loo at my video on how I hold my arm practice reaching around with your pen before you unlock it to see if you can reach it

BMI charts mean nothing. Go upon what you’re comfortable with. Do you.!

[@MounjarojourneywithPam]

@@valeriemartini6315 thank you Valerie it’s so hard for me because yes I want to be sure I get down far enough to not be considered overweight or obese but I think I’ll have to be ok with being overweight because I would defined look too thin if I were in the healthy range It’s so crazy right ? I hate those bmi charts but the doctor and insurances use them too and even your life insurance companies use them 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ But on the other hand I know I am very scared about regaining I lived with guilt for 20 years Personal guilt about regaining after having gastric bypass and I am determined not to do this again Thank you for three words of encouragement 😊🥰

[@valeriemartini6315]

@@MounjarojourneywithPam What you should be thinking of is being active and gain muscle. Don’t worry anything about what others say. I’m on MJ too but, I couldn’t care less about the charts. You can be healthy happy and fit at a higher weight and not be obese or overweight. The charts at 5’4” say 135. No way. I plan to get to 165-170. I got out of fitness school at 182. I was fit and healthy. Best to ignore the charts. Think of a time you were comfortable in your own body and go for it.
