"The fun of auto correct and not reading before pressing post. " We've all been there! But seriously, what I've been told is that unless you take the opportunity to change while you're on the jabs, nothing will change when you come off them, and you'll gradually put the weight back on. It's just that it's easier to motivate yourself to change when you're feeling good about your body. | |||

"Do you think, are they worth it and do they work over the long run. Will the cost of them go down in time or not?" It's not for me....yet? Dunno about the cost because they recently said that they would put the price up in the UK. I'm BMI obese, middle-aged aged but I don't have high blood pressure, blood cholesterol or high sugar. Kidneys and liver still working well. So no obesity related diseases. Having been on anti-depressants on and off for over 20 years, I'd rather not. Especially if I have to look into hormones at some point. I have disordered eating but not an eating disorder or food noise. My main health issues are body strengthening and stretching, mental health and hormones. Obviously, if you have obesity-related health conditions, speak to your GP or consultant. I saw that it can help PCOS which can reduce weight loss. One of my partners has diabetes so he's been switching around on them via the NHS. He doesn't like them but he has to get his diabetes under control. | |||

"Having tried going to the gym and all sorts of healthy eating diets etc etc nothing worked for me that was sustainable Ok it’s new but on Mounjaro now for 8 weeks and lost 9kg never lost even 1/2 of that in 6 months trying the diet a and exercise stuff I know it’s expensive but so far it has been worth it " You obviously weren't doing the gym and diet correctly. | |||

There will be newer medications adding to these, so there should be more choice.
It's a pity that they are not affordable for all. If I take them, I'll expect to need a maintenance dose for the rest of my life, alongside dietary changes.

"Just stop eating Maccies and shit. Obesity is a choice. " Actually, if you pulled your head out of your own arse and did some research, it's NOT always a choice. There are many reasons a person can be overweight. I never touched McDonald's. Go and have a look at "Set Point". And think yourself lucky if you've never had a problem with your weight | |||

"Obesity is generally a choice. Take your head out of your own arse if you can find it. " Ah so now your saying it’s “generally a choice” after saying it is “by choice”….. Make your mind up!! So what about the folk that are obese due to genetics?…… was that their choice then?……. Smoking is a choice but being obese isn’t always But it’s clear you are the type that just tars everyone with the same brush So that makes you judgemental with your head up your arse | |||

"Obesity is generally a choice. Take your head out of your own arse if you can find it. " I used to blame my new cancer related medication on putting on a huge amount of weight, used to blame stress and a huge workload, but after another cancer popping up last Christmas I cleaned up my act, cut out all sugar, super processed food, only drink red wine and infuse my own vodka with fresh lemons, ginger and natural honey. Started tracking all my macros. Prepare my meals from scratch and generally don't stuff my face with any rubbish. In result I lost 42kg in 6 months while still taking same medication and not doing any exercise outside regular life activities. Changing eating habits took a long time and a lot of effort, but it's doable. One only has to sacrifice a lot of time in the kitchen. Missus | |||

God doing anything else but wasting at least one day a week to the kitchen. But yeah, I look kinda hot now and the cancer is shrinking. Yay me 😐 missus | |||

So far, physically I'm healthy according to the GP but if things go wrong, I'm sure they won't hesitate to put me on weight loss drugs and/or weight loss shakes. | |||

"Just stop eating Maccies and shit. Obesity is a choice. " Literally took medication (Quetiapine, mood-stabilising anti-psychotic) that made me fat/obese...from December 2014 to July 2023. It took me two years to come off and two years to recover from most of the withdrawal symptoms. I still have insomnia, which doesn't help weight loss. I couldn't come off it until I had completed the intensive therapy with a 3 year waiting list. Covid extended the wait. If I didn't take the medication, the choice was spending all my time in the secure psych unit. So in that case I chose obesity over being mentally unstable. 1.

"There are those who genuinely need them but in my opinion the vast majority on them don't, what they need to do is make more effort to lose weight the old fashioned way. Light bulb moment for me was admitting to myself why I was obese, it wasn't all the excuses I'd been saying for years it was what I was putting in my mouth. Most won't/don't want to acknowledge where the fault lies so they are destined to fail, seeking a quick fix of these jabs. You also have to truly want the weight loss more than continuing to eat what is making you obese. I'm about 6 stone down in 7 years, it's maybe taken me 3-4 to find the right combination of foods which are better for me and keep me fuller for longer. Listening to my body which means an adequately filling breakfast, and having my biggest meal at lunchtime because that's when my natural appetite is highest. For someone else that will be completely different. I'm aware the food noise is still there in the background, but it doesn't overpower me any more. I no longer eat one meal while obsessively thinking about the next before I even finish! I look upon it as lifestyle change not a temporary diet/ increase in activity levels. Making small changes over a long period of time. I'm firmly of the belief that what you eat has much more impact on weight than exercise. " Well said..I have to ignore the negative nancies for now. We say you can't out train a bad diet and to be honest it's figuring out what is a bad diet for you. I can't go carb-free because my blood sugar will drop too low. I can't do intermittent fasting because my brain stops working with no food. The carnivore diet will spike my cholesterol. So for me it's some slow-release carbs for breakfast and lunch, lots of protein and healthy snacks and then go light in the evening. Not always possible every day..but there is no way I could go and do HIIT or weightlifting on an empty stomach. My trainers would not be impressed. I just signed up for a menopause course at my local leisure centre so I can get some tips on how to deal with the symptoms and keep active until Christmas break. | |||

I can't argue with anyone who I think is ignorant, uneducated or low on IQ/only reads the Daily Mail or only watches TikTok for one minute. I have to just agree to disagree with them and conserve my energy for people who can see different perspectives and are open minded. They've clearly made up their mind about fat/overweight/obese people unless they become fat themselves through no fault of their own. Only that will teach them. | |||

As per my oncologist- no, estrogen fed breast cancer and additional metastasis has nothing to do with smoking and everything to do with a faulty gene, diet choices and of course the "privilege" of me being a woman. I'm also not a heavy smoker. Take a puff here and there to keep my sanity more than anything else. I know what fatigue is and experience it regularly due to a stupid amount of hormone blockers I'm taking. That's why it makes it even more frustrating having to spend time in the kitchen to hopefully be healthier instead of living life outside it 🤷♀️ | |||

"Do you think, are they worth it and do they work over the long run. Will the cost of them go down in time or not?" I highly doubt the cost would come down, in my opinion it would just keep creeping up, as it's a gold mine for pharmaceutical companies. The food we eat, and the bad habits that we formed, are making us more obese, the "easy" solution (at least for some)- weight loss jab! "Wonderful" invention, makes you lose weight quickly without the hard work needed (I'm getting that impression from all the ads that keep popping up online). Side effects? Don't worry about it, enjoy your food and still lose weight with those wonderful jabs that we'll charge you through the nose for. I'm glad they are working for some. I'll try to manage my type 2 diabetes the "old fashioned" way, and hopefully it will work for me. But good luck to all on the jabs- it is somewhat ironic, though, comparing this to COVID vaccine, that plenty of people jumped on the weight loss jabs bandwagon without much opposition for putting a substance in your body that its long term side effects are still not known. | |||

"1O weeks in on MJ. It works for me. I can't imagine the prices will come down but there's plenty of discounts to be had. It's not a quick fix, and you can't eat what you want. You still need to be in calorie deficit. You should still aim to hit your macro targets, eat the required amount of fibre, and drink plenty of water. That takes planning and meal prep. Has it made staying in calorie deficit easier? Absolutely! Do I care about the naysayers? Absolutely not! I'm only halfway to where I want to be and already my life has been transformed. I work, and I pay for the treatment myself. How I choose to lose weight is nobody else's business. The great thing about being fat is that when you're fat you're a burden. Yet you do something about it and still there's someone waiting to tear you down 🙄 Absolutely!! Stuff the haters and your right there’s always the ones that want to bring folk down! The jag is working for me and am loving it Feel so much better about myself for it so what’s to hate about that " | |||

"I don’t think it’s a good luck when people have been using this jab as you can tell not only is it weight loss but you’re also losing muscle mass which can leave people looking very gaunt which is not a nice look for me x" You can prevent muscle loss by weightlifting ( gym or body weight) and increasing protein. My problem is when I eat protein..I struggle to eat enough fibre so still tweaking my perimono diet. Mid 40's here I come in two weeks. Not taking the weight loss drugs unless my GP demands that I do. So far they are not demanding so I will keep increasing weightlifting, stretching my dodgy hip and tweaking my diet. Everyone else taking the drugs can be monitored by GP or diabetic clinic or if they are paying privately they can pay for a DEXA scan to check the muscle mass to keep muscle and bone density on track. Creatine and fibre supplements help some people. I'm currently having my legendary "pink soup" oats, peanut butter, soy milk, raspberries, blueberries and protein powder. blended up. Hits all my macros, calorie-dense, nutrient-dense, easily digestible and 5 minutes to make and kills all my food cravings for 7 hours. Doesn't make my autistic brain spiral and crash out unless I can't find blueberries in the grocery shop online or in person.
I'm not anti-medication as I have taken antidepressants, antibiotics, antivirals and antipsychotics myself. I'm like take only when necessary, as a last resort and closely monitored and in conjunction with other holistic practices.
Like if I take Malaria anti-virals for a tropical holiday, I'm also going to make sure I eat and drink properly, use a mosquito net, wear protective clothing and cover myself in mosquito repellent. I'm not going to do that when I come back to the UK or somewhere with no malaria but I will use it as a precaution against a greater evil/worse condition.
For some people the weight loss drugs are a precaution and prevention against a worse condition. I had a friend who was chubby all her life until we were in our 30s and she said the weight was damaging her health so anyone who wants to be healthier, I can't knock them for that as long as they are under the care of professionals ( she had a trainer) | |||

"PIP should be stopped for everyone. Most people claiming it are bloody wasters who don’t want to work. " You are a bit silly. I've been on since 2012...I have a severe mental health condition that puts me in hospital, is life limited and life threatening if I don't manage it properly. I have worked for 13 of those years, paying national insurance and paying into 3 pensions which I will not see because with my mental health destroying my physical health it's rare for people like me to live to 67/70 aka retirement age. So If I use my PIP to stay out of hospital, free up the beds in the secure psych units and free up the ambulance, police times for responding to sections, then I have nothing to be guilty or ashamed about. I can't magically stop having severe mental health conditions or being autistic. You however, can go volunteer to be a support worker for the mentally and physically disable and see how it is when the shoe is on the other foot. I have a friend in a wheelchair who had to pay for her own motorised wheelchair with her PIP so her relative carer who has a heart condition, didn't have to push her everywhere. Let's hope you never become disabled. | |||

"I think they aren't great. Once people stop them what will happen as you can't be on them forever. I've done similar with changing diet and going to gym " The same as any other way of losing weight if you go back to old habits. Whilst taking the injections you *should* be in a calorie deficit, changing your diet, and increasing your exercise (if and when you are able). They don't make you lose weight just by taking them. They work in conjunction with the things I mentioned above. And you can stay on Mounjaro indefinitely, at a maintenance dose, with monitoring and guidance. | |||

"Do they work if you don’t hear the food noise because you snack all the time so never feel hungry?" I'm not sure it entirely answers your question, but I put off taking them sooner because my overeating has never been because of hunger. There are several dozen other reasons, but never hunger, so I doubted they'd be effective for me. I was wrong. I pretty much have to remind myself to eat most days (although my tracking app does prompt me too). I've no desire to snack, and prefer to concentrate on three (or four smaller) nutritious meals per day that hit my macro and fibre targets.

"These jabs are PRIMARILY for diabetics and those with blood sugar inefficiencies. The weight loss is a by product but helps sell better. Those on metformin seem to like them much better." It’s been licensed for obesity. Which in turn is going to stop people developing type 2 diabetes. | |||

But I know others who have felt a little sickly on them. " As above, little to no side effects for me either. It does slow down your digestion though so it's advisable to stay well hydrated and have plenty of fibre in your diet. I occasionally might have to give the poo a little nudge with laxatives (which I'm prescribed anyway due to the side effects of another medication I take), or a stool softener when I know there might be a "challenging" poo on the horizon | |||

"There is some rather dodgy advice here. Please see your gp before starting any weight loss regime. Many gp practices have specific weight-loss teams. " You think this advice is bad... should see some of the face book groups, where people are saying does the next morning to counter the Chinese takeaway the night before. Or people giving advice on how to lie to get it, even seen someone comment about drinking it so its more effective. | |||

I always thought people should be more active to the point that I struggle to find a partner that matches my level of activity. To proof wether a medication is safe you need at least 10 years of human use to obtain some non biased data. So we will know about the side effects in about that time. | |||

"Do you think, are they worth it and do they work over the long run. Will the cost of them go down in time or not?" Yes and no and no. Depends on if you're looking for a quick fix or actually prepared to make changes ie use them as a tool to make healthier choices. Worked for me until other (unrelated) health issues meant I had to stop. Of 4.5 stone lost I've regained 3-4lbs over 3 months. Personally I think big pharma are too greedy for costs to reduced over time | |||

"Lazy option IMO calorie deficit and exercise are better way." The medication alone does not make you lose weight. You still need to be in calorie deficit. You should still be eating healthily. You should be also be exercising/increasing your activity levels. Regardless, does it matter if was a lazy option? If it gives someone back their health and their life, is that not a good thing? Is it not enough that people who need to lose weight are often judged fat and lazy, then to judge the method they use to improve their lives? | |||

"Do you think, are they worth it and do they work over the long run. Will the cost of them go down in time or not?" For some people, yes. J for instance struggles with food having had eating disorders. She has spit on weight and struggle to get by without eating as life is making her miserable in a few ways currently, despite our best efforts. I (N) on the other hand, just cut calories by a lot, started walking an hour a day and does some small calisthenics exercises few days a week at home and have dropped 32kg in around 6 months. I have a few stretch marks but the majority of my skin has gone back to normal, my chest is almost normal, my belly pouch and love handles have shrunk (considerably ) and I have gone from 3XL shirts to XL in most cases. Also drinking lots more water has helped | |||

Anyone who takes mounjaro and claims it's not the lazy or easy way to lose weight is simply lying, if it wasn't the easy(ist) way to lose weight, we'd all be doing something easier! | |||

You do realise that many people who are on MJ have been on umpteen other diets which haven't worked for them? There never has been a foolproof way to lose weight before now. The money involved alone suggests it's far from an "easy" way for many either. I'd suggest people use it because it's proven to be remarkably effective above and beyond all other diets. | |||

"A number of our friends have done the jabs and yes they work but they don't educate people on things like portion control and healthy eating so as soon as they came off the jab they piled the weight back on." Of course it does, you have to change your approach to food otherwise you won't lose weight. The jab itself isn't what causes you to lose weight, it supresses your appetite to take away the food cravings whilst you adjust your own diet to a calorie deficit, high protein diet. | |||

There's online tools that calculate your BMI and how much calories you should be eating, you are aiming for around 500 cals less than your recommended daily intake. Keep you're protein intake high, and drink plenty water. | |||

Yep, that's my point, it works and it's so so easy compared to every other option available. I don't understand why people get so upset at being told they are taking the easy option. I am proud of my progress and will happily tell anyone that's it's been an extremely enjoyable and easy experience to lose 60kg. Why that's controversial, I'm not sure. | |||

Definitely agree however most people who lose significant amounts do change their relationship with food. Eating is no longer purely a pleasure or hobby. It's 90% a necessity and 10% a hobby. I still go out and eat shit but the difference is that's not the norm. I know quite a few taking mounjaro who've not changed their diet and they don't really lose anything significant. The reality is, even if I put all my 60kg back on in the next year, I've still had around 2 years where my kids have been noticed I've been less fat, More agile, walk more etc. I honestly hope not to put it on, but those 2 year will have been worth every penny. | |||

As has already been pointed out, you have to change your relationship to food otherwise you won't lose weight on these jabs, so your assumption is wrong. The jabs themselves DO NOT make you lose weight. A lot of people just can't grasp that. When people come off this treatment, they may then find it is a lot easier to control their weight as their attitude to food has changed. Not everone of course. | |||

"Another problem is there is little financial incentive to undertake deep research and medical test those who do lose significant amounts of weight and sustain that weight loss over time by diet and exercise (though I prefer the term lifestyle changes and developing new habits). The quick fix diet industry and weight loss jabs are very profitable in a capitalist society. " That's not necessarily true, there are decades of research regarding "natural" body recomposition, both as part of public health efforts and from within the diet industries seeking to develop products that replicate the processes in play. The issue is that successful "natural" body recomposition requires an intersection of genetic and psychological factors that aren't consistently replicable either as a health programme or as a marketable product. The research tells us, essentially, that people are too different on an individual basis to say that what works for person A is certain or even likely to work for person B, even if their starting circumstances are the same. | |||

"I was on Mounjaro from September last year to June this year and lost about 30kg in total after managing to lose 19 myself. For years I’d been losing and gaining the same 10-15kg so when I felt my motivation starting to slip again I have them a try. Honestly, it was so easy for me. My appetite suppression was insane and I just didn’t crave all the rubbish I normally ate before so the weight just fell off. No calorie counting, just healthier choices and smaller portions. I never deprived myself of anything, if I wanted chocolate or pizza for example I’d have some, just a far smaller portion than before. I’ve been off for 5 months now and keeping it off has been a lot more difficult than I expected. I’d say I definitely changed my attitude towards food but I’d also class myself as a binge eater, particularly when I’m stressed or having a rubbish time so that’s really been challenging to try and not give in to without the appetite suppression from the jabs. I’ve put about 8kg back on since stopping but to be honest I was a bit on the scranwy side with a bmi of 19 by the time I weaned back down and off over a couple months. I’m sitting at a bmi of 22.5 now, have climbed 30 munros this year and have recently joined the gym and try to go 4/5 days a week. I’d like to get about 4kg back off but doing it with normal diet and exercise. They really are an incredible tool and work better for some than others, I know a few folk on them who have lost very little because they actually haven’t really changed their eating or added in any exercise and not everyone gets the same level of appetite suppression as I did." Wow, that's impressive and the results speak for themselves. Congratulations. | |||

" Loose skin contracting over weight loss will really depend on the amount of weight to lose, plus other factors such as age. For example a super-obese person of any age would expect to have loose skin after significant weight loss. Whereas an overweight younger person losing a few stone might see very little to no loose skin versus an older person with less skin elasticity. Genetics also play a part, as does the length of time the person has been overweight for. | |||

"Obesity is generally a choice. Take your head out of your own arse if you can find it. I used to blame my new cancer related medication on putting on a huge amount of weight, used to blame stress and a huge workload, but after another cancer popping up last Christmas I cleaned up my act, cut out all sugar, super processed food, only drink red wine and infuse my own vodka with fresh lemons, ginger and natural honey. Started tracking all my macros. Prepare my meals from scratch and generally don't stuff my face with any rubbish. In result I lost 42kg in 6 months while still taking same medication and not doing any exercise outside regular life activities. Changing eating habits took a long time and a lot of effort, but it's doable. One only has to sacrifice a lot of time in the kitchen. Missus Definitely this! Is hard to keep healthy habits in today's day and age but bet you do feel better with more energy and healthier over all. Well done for that is a massive achievement and for doing it naturally which is the best way. Keep it going and remember carrying on with physical activity as well as I see people just starving themselves and that is not really the solution either. Nice balance between good diet and good exercise levels that's the best way!
Honestly the only thing I feel better about is not being too obese to tie my own shoelaces and wearing more flattering clothes that finally fit me.
I absolutely do not have any more energy that I did before (cancer) and I absolutely hate having to plan my meals in advance, spending hours upon hours in the kitchen when everyone else is chilling on the sofa and watching Netflix and I hate the fact that I have to spend even more time trying out new recipes, just not to bore myself to death with the same bland chicken and veg every day while I could be hiking, painting, reading books... God doing anything else but wasting at least one day a week to the kitchen. But yeah, I look kinda hot now and the cancer is shrinking. Yay me 😐

"Lazy option IMO calorie deficit and exercise are better way. Couldn't agree more. And I'm someone who has taken Mounjaro for over a year and lost basically 60kg. Anyone who takes mounjaro and claims it's not the lazy or easy way to lose weight is simply lying, if it wasn't the easy(ist) way to lose weight, we'd all be doing something easier! You do realise that many people who are on MJ have been on umpteen other diets which haven't worked for them? There never has been a foolproof way to lose weight before now. The money involved alone suggests it's far from an "easy" way for many either. I'd suggest people use it because it's proven to be remarkably effective above and beyond all other diets." There has always been a fool proof way to loose weight. It's called a calorie deficit. It's just really difficult if you don't have the will power or want to make lasting lifestyle changes. The jabs are great, fair play to anyone that wants to take them but they do come with risks as some of the posters have mentioned you have had first hand experience with. | |||
