I started MOUNJARO injection December 2022. Beginning weight 265lbs. May 09, 2023 my weight is now 225lbs. Binge eating stopped. Appetite suppressant worked 👍🏼. I loved that. Lifestyle change will be important though. I had no side effects. I’m happy with my life now. Weight is less, waist size reduced.

[@HealYourSoulOracle]

Congratulations

[@walleye364]

I took my first dose of mournjaro. I have bad diarea for a week now

[@nikkiturnup1688]

What dose 2.5?

[@Eventsbyl2]

Rooting for you! Have lost 45 lbs on Mounjaro 🎉 This has totally changed my experience with food!

[@shastitydenae4853]

Omg! We have done ww and keto and now we are on Mounjaro. I've been on MJ for 5 months now. I'm a slow lovers too. I'm almost at 6 months and I've lost 40lbs.

[@imacurlygirl]

ERIN!!! You are doing great!!! Sooooo happy to see your sweet face this morning!!! I am one of your "originals" on KZbin!!!! I just got off of my Metformin. Was on it for about 6 years. I lost 30 lbs over the past 6 months or so and my A1C was NORMAL!!!!! 6 pounds is awesome!!!! It sounds as if the Mounjaro is doing its job!!! You are killing it. Please continue to post weekly updates - you literally made my day!!❤❤

[@sandrajmyers3374]

Love your realness! Been looking for someone to follow on this journey. 😊

[@saracarter683]

I’ve followed you from the beginning and there is something incredibly comforting about your videos! Glad you’re back! I wish you success with this new journey!! 💕

[@dpostm17923]

hi Erin, been with you since the beginning, hope this finally gets your health journey going, good to see you again, congrats on the weight loss so far 🎉🎉

[@maried8111]

OMG that’s great! I’m so glad you’re back and doing well. You look so happy and excited it’s really nice to see you like that! I wish you continued success! ❤❤

[@johngeoghegan8893]

I didn't realize how much I missed your videos until I watched the last two that you posted. I missed your sense of humor and just catching up with what's going on in your life. I hope you continue posting weekly updates and I wish you all the best success on this part of your journey!

[@tracylynn8522]

Yesssss I’m an og - been here forever! The food noise disappearing is insane to me too! That alone is a big help I think! I’ve done the shot on my belly alternating sides each week, and I have had very minimal side effects.

[@pattymikegalante6555]

So glad to see your making videos again Erin missed seeing you!❤

[@linds0423]

So so so happy to hear an update from you!!! I have followed you for years. I haven’t seen you this happy in a long time. Congrats Erin! Keep it up 😊

[@Wildflowert]

I was on Metformin and had alot of GI issues too UNTIL i got on the slow release Metformin. If you are not on the slow release, ask your Dr about it. It made a huge difference and no more GI issues. I am on week 5 of Olympic as well.

[@christinacanniff1214]

1:19 seconds into this video and I’m like I WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND! Lol I was just prescribed mounjaro I haven’t got it yet but I wanted to KZbin some results and yours is so raw! So real! I subscribed and will be following you!

[@erindoesthethings]

Awww thank you! I'm a hot mess so welcome to the shit show! Lol

[@rhondaclark1826]

🎉🎉🎉 Congrats on your weight loss!! So excited for you. Yes! I want to see all the videos you can do. Lol😊😊

[@NothinbutLove]

I had issues with metformin too until I got on the extended release. I was fine after that. I am about to start mounjaro. I'm excited about it!

[@proman5498]

Yep..not hard to see where your problems lie. Gotta eat healthier otherwise your doing all of this for nothing. Your husband and your friends/family need to be your support system..create a circle if like minded people if that's possible. Good luck to you!! No fast food..put effort into taking control of your mind...= better you❤

[@jenniferp1127]

Thank you for the updates!!! Stay strong! So glad you’re back!

[@dancerdea25]

I just found you because I also was just diagnosed diabetic and took metformin and now on Mounjaro. I didn’t know you could take both together. That’s interesting.

[@brendajclark2543]

My doctor has me on both, too.

[@Gmakellysadventures]

Take B-12 along with Metformin. Metformin depletes B-12.

[@hollybaldwin2332]

I love your personality that’s why I subscribe

[@shazanakhan9807]

Im starting mounjaro on Tuesday. I have 24kg to lose. I give myself 3 months. Hoping to lose 8-10kg a month. I have done diet, not much exercise with intermittent fasting in the past and lost 8kg in a month. Excited to try this out.

[@kathykolenda7517]

It’s great to see you back !

[@naltieri84]

I've missed your videos so much!!! So glad you're back 🎉

[@wrightjaw]

I'm new to your site, and I just started Mounjaro 2.5 three weeks ago. I'm also on Metformin and Lantus Solostar. I'm overweight and 5'10" and these medications are for my type 2 diabetes, and weight loss. So far, the 2.5 hasn't made any changes to the way I eat. I guess you have to change the way you eat and do some type of exercise for this medication to work?? I'm looking into the Carnivore Diet, by Dr. Shawn Baker and Dr. Ken Berry. This way of eating gets rid of inflammation in your body and cures a lot of ailments within your body. Keep up the great video's they are very informative.

[@jumboslice1514]

How’s the Mounjaro treating you? I just started two weeks ago. Hoping it helps me

[@margaretc2015]

As a diabetic and on these drugs you should avoid alcohol and fatty fried foods. You should look into how to eat as a diabetic, the meds are there to help but talk to your doctor because they do offer therapy in how to eat ect.

[@SamanthaSykes-h2t]

Thank you very much

[@erinhenson4995]

And she's back!!!!! I was just thinking about you today. I'm going to try for either Mounjaro or another one.

[@taylormcnally2909]

Within the first 50 seconds, I see that we are the same person with all our stuff!! ❤

[@LadySandy3200]

Get the protein shakes they help me when I have no appetite I buy the Adkin protein shakes 30 grams of protein only 3 carbs no sugar taste great they have a variety of Flavors.

[@jackielarryduff2521]

I'm so glad you are back! - Jackie

[@stephaniefox9701]

Awwwwww… Like, subscribe, bell…Erin’s Beautiful Face!!! So happy to see you 2 weeks in a row!! I hope the bumps work out quickly and the success of week one continues ❤

[@taylormcnally2909]

Question for you, you’re taking metformin & mounjaro at the same time? My doctor told me to stop my metformin (I was on 3 pills a day) I couldn’t imagine taking that on top of everything else

[@erindoesthethings]

Yep. I am currently at the 10mg shot of metformin and 1000mg of metformin. I have like super diabetes lol

[@nayoungnj]

Glad you’re doing well. 😊

[@LadiLaPetite91]

New Subby here! Love your personality! I wish you continued success!

[@williambryant4228]

6 months on Mounjaro here and down 61 lbs... I see some videos of people on it who can still eat full meals, sometimes 2 or 3 meals a day. I dont get it. I cant even eat one 1/2 meal a day. Make SURE you drink lots of water or possibly some Miralax otherwise the constipation will be the worst you have ever had.

[@que_sera_sarah]

Yay update time! Watching now.

[@andrea197171]

Waiting on my prescription now.

[@devl9677]

Just a thought, maybe you can fill up on protein during those days when Manjaro is about to wear off instead of carbs. Metformin, in the beginning did curb appetite but after a while, that doesn’t work. It still help with blood sugar control, I guess.

[@ef6406]

Ok so today Monday 5-20-24 at 1pm first shot of 2.5 mg mounjaro… felt some nausea shortly after.. so I ate some fast food & cookie… but I figured I better get my last craving in before it really kicks in… I’m just wondering if tmro I’ll be able to tell iv had the shot and it will help my food cravings because most the time I’m not even hungry I just crave food… anyone have feelings like me and this shot helped fix it???

[@erindoesthethings]

You will absolutely be able to tell!

[@sparklysusan4641]

Here she is❤❤❤❤❤ Hey, do you talk to Amanda, how is she doing? I’m here here here for your videos, I totally adore you girl. I’m so proud of you for doing YOU.

[@erindoesthethings]

I do! She is doing very well!

[@VJWLPN1]

I just took my second injection of Mounjaro. Glad I found your channel. Just subscribed. What color paint are your walls painted? Love it!

[@wendyirizarry7458]

I’m so happy for you, but like other people commented here. I’m also on Mounjaro and this is my first week And I have been doing great One advised I can tell you is that you should look for a nutritionist because based on what you said on you video I feel that you eating too many junk foods and also alcohol is not good while you are on the medication You should eat more green and try to cook more at home Take advantage of the medication, remember it is a set of mind. And if you don’t change your bad habits there are not miracle medication out there that can help you

[@autumnpeska3317]

I've missed seeing your videos. Glad your doing updates.😊

[@onwardandoutward8781]

Would love a Disney vlog🤗 I’m so happy for you, I’ve been a subscriber for several years, I started WeGovy a few months ago and this stuff definitely works! The metformin will stop being such a 😈 soon! The GI issues last a few weeks and then start subsiding.

[@jessicadambrosio7081]

Missed ur videos..glad ue back!

[@RV-there-Yet]

Slower, time-released Metformin seems to be waaaay less GI upset for most people. My husband had to take it for awhile, & it was HORRID. I couldn't stand that he was so dang miserable all the time, made me crazy. Anyhow, I'm fairly new here, so surely not trying to give unsolicited advice, but wanted to at least mention our experience. 😁 *Yay you for 6 lbs gone you will never miss!🎈🤸‍

[@aliciaheisey5194]

Alcohol lowers your blood sugar as well. So night sweats were from hypoglycemia.

[@cassandragunderson1527]

Hey girl! Missed you!! My mother in law was on "met" it was horrible! It was like poison in her body

[@SharonChristineAZ]

Congrats on the weoghtloss. I was told to not drink alcohol or anything greasy and I’m on mounjaro 5 mg.

[@LegacyByT]

How’s your progress Erin??? Congrats on the 6 pounds week 1. I just took my first shot yesterday and I’m still hungry. Should I be concerned? The good news is that I have had no side effects at all.

[@ef6406]

Has it gotten better for you??

[@pollyannalight6313]

Get to it, get to it!

[@TheAutumnHeather]

"is that a spider? yes it is" would be something I say and go on with my shizz.. my hubs? "burning the house down, love you all" haha.. also this journey for you!!!! whoo!

[@TheAutumnHeather]

also you bouncing through the whole video.. that energy grrrl.. damn! and yes all the videos!

[@cindyn8196]

Super great loss! I ALWAYS have food noise! I thought it was my Italian showiy😂

[@gbrieannful]

Mounjaro is wayyyy better than Metformin. Metformin tore my stomach up and it didn’t help with appetite suppression.

[@erindoesthethings]

I don't know of metformin is supposed to do the appetite thing. But be careful with mounjaro. It's will also destroy your stomach

[@janetm5227]

I have watch since you lived above the storage company you worked for. Enjoy you. I am contemplating these meds. Can you answer me show your insurance company was with approving the drugs. Thanks.

[@pcpapmpiplpa]

I’m takings mounjaro and I lost 5lb in my first week and 3 lb in the second week. I started with 178 lb and I’m 170 lb starting 3rd week.

[@TxMom13]

Woohoooo 🎉

[@victorialathos8194]

Congratulations!!!!

[@yorkshirelass8786]

I took my first dose in my stomach last night, other than going to the toilet, a lot 😳 i feel great today. Definitely have appetite suppression already.

[@SharonChristineAZ]

Also, I take my meds right before I go to bed to avoid nausea

[@pamelajeppesen4709]

Need to get to the point quiker, but i really like you.

[@erindoesthethings]

Longer videos=longer watch times=more money :) these are vlog like videos. So, they are more chatty & not educational. Thank you!

[@kathyscrazylife]

Metformin tears me up, so I had to quit it. I take Januvia, Basaglar insulin, and Mounjaro 10 mg now. I am losing weight but I don't know how much. Weighing messes up my mind so I don't do it. I try to eat a balanced diet with protein, whoe grain carbs, and vegetables very little sweets if ever. I don't drink except for a glass of wine rarely.

[@pamelajeppesen4709]

Your a kick in the pants...sooo real and very much like my life!!! Your funny and beautiful!💕

[@keylimepie8426]

You just claimed you have all of those conditions. Well, in that case you definitely have them.

[@LetterWritingMama]

First time here, heard your intro about you and omg me. We’re the same lol

[@justpassingthrough6550]

18:45

[@kathrinivanovic8247]

I've turned into a ONE glass of wine girl since MJ and I am totally ok with that. I cancelled all of mine wine clubs. Also, I regret high fat foods....every time. My stomach revolts.

[@tonijurkones8373]

Congratulations ❤

[@daisytheunicornTV]

You're funny. I'm starting It today

[@kathrinivanovic8247]

I took metformin to check the box in case I need it for any future step therapy but god it was damned awful. Never touching that med again. With MJ I have initial titration queasiness and constipation but all manageable. When I first started MJ I set my alarm for every 4 hours and at least had some protein. The suppression kept me on each dose for 12 weeks.

[@sherrizanoli1398]

I am getting ready to start Mounjaro. I may eat a few potato chips in a day, but I am diabetic. They say it is going to decrease my appetite, so I may eat 1 chip per day???

[@victoriariley7490]

My Doctor told me if I did not change my eating and eat All healthy, I could not stay on Monjuro. I eat healthy anyway! Just too much food. If I ate what you did.. I’d gain for sure.

[@erindoesthethings]

If I ate how you do I'd be miserable

[@patriciadiaz3725]

❤❤❤ Awesome ❤❤❤

[@lindamccue4820]

A friend told me if she has to eat low fat with her metformin to keep from having stomach upset. Maybe that is helpful info. IDK

[@donnacampobasso-zh4ll]

Try time reseased metformin it helped me

[@Travelinalong5553]

Janumet was better for me, hated metformin.. no more bathroom troubles..

[@flamingolounge1975]

Congratulations ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@flamingolounge1975]

Also it’s me KETOVILLAGE ❤

[@abrowne87]

I get horrible night sweats on Saxenda. I wake up soaked some nights

[@willynilly2545]

I don't get people who have diabetes and are on diabetes drugs and still eat foods that cuased them to have diabetes

[@alisonbates4186]

And taking mounjaro for weight loss but are eating junk and fast food I don't get it

[@gingerredshoes]

Day 1 on mounjaro, eating binge that evening. How long before it suppresses appetite?

[@ef6406]

Same!!! How’s it been for you?

[@teecee902]

I’ve missed your face for so long

[@tonijurkones8373]

Good morning 😃

[@Travelinalong5553]

But we need food for nutrients, my Dr wants me to try the shot..

[@russiandoll5858]

good to know your a heavy drinker like me. I wont drink when I take this or eat greasy food. from what i heard dont eat crap haha

[@jcathell100]

How do I get in the group your in I’m starting my mounjaro tonight

[@erindoesthethings]

facebook.com/groups/2141976296005865/?ref=share&mibextid=jf9HGS

[@stevinie7free]

Metformin gave me explosive diarrhea and terrible stomach cramps

[@adventureswithmimi]

I am on mounjaro and I take it because I am diabetic. I am also overweight and have other health issues. The pharmacy has a serious shortage and I am not able to get it because a lot of doctors are prescribing it off label just for people who want to lose a few pounds and it’s disgusting. Taking from those like myself who really need it! It works well for me and has lowered my blood sugars significantly. So to those who are taking it to just lose a few pounds needs to stop and take something like wegovy!

[@atlantaspencer2711]

What number did you start on
