A friend of mine was on Mounjaro
for a long time and did lose weight but she also lost most of her muscle. Apparently this is a well-known but unpublicised side-effect. She’s come off it for that reason and is now trying to get the weight off with exercise and diet.

I take it that unless posting negatively people have nothing to say 🤔 Lots of people I know are taking the weight loss injections, both Mounjaro and Wygovy and so far I haven’t heard any horror stories. I think maybe you were a bit brutal with yourself when injecting - just gently put the needle in, there’s no need to literally jab yourself. Hope it goes well for you and that you have the success you are looking for - well done for being proactive

This thread is for support and queries arising from injections and other treatments…please be kind..

Know from another thread, some comments/opinions are very judgmental…obesity is a condition which affects a lot of people..we shouldn’t feel bad about trying to lose weight in any form…

I’ve only told 2 people as it seems many have strong views against the weight loss injections but, surely, whether we can get tier 3 NHS treatment or, private treatment, shows we’re acting responsibly for our individual health

Wondering how many people are struggling alone?

how many are struggling alone with weight issues?
