I've always been fairly ordinary in terms of weight. But since my 50s my weight has crept steadily up. I'm now well...quite a bit larger blush and over the past year or so I've been trying to lose a bit of weight. I look after my grandsons twice a week which is exhausting and I think I'm quite active those days. I do one Pilates class a week. I do have a sweet tooth so am trying to have fruit instead and save treats for the weekend (although occasionally I'll share my boys' treats grin. Does anyone have any good tips? Does the 5:2 diet work? I hate gyms.

Hello! After many years struggling with my weight, and related health conditions, I've decided to try Mounjaro. I'm 72, suffer from osteoarthritis and hiatus hernia, I get breathless and have chronic back pain. I've tried many ways of weight control over the years and I'm desperate to kickstart it. My brother has used it successfully and is now a healthy weight. Has anyone had any experience of using Mounjaro?
