I’ve been on Mounjaro since end of March 2025. Combined with a low carb diet I am down from 146KG to 117.5. BMI from 42 to 34. Copilot tells me that this is well above the normal for BMI and Weight. I’m currently on 10mg per week dose.

In the U.K. it costs about £500 for 12 weeks. Plus a consultants fee if you are using one (£250 per month).

I easily save that in deliveroo/Just eat bills so no nett difference in spending.

Re: TxBelle (# 3) Expand Referenced Message

I am using Mounjaro for weight loss. Also pre-diabetic and very high blood pressure. Started st 2.5, then 5 and then 7.5. Went back to 5 and am now considering g going back to 2.5. Have lost 35 lbs. Blood pressure is down so much I am only taking 1/2 of medication every other day. I try to follow a veery healthy diet, healthy protein and good carbs only. So easy to do because and cravings for sweets and junk food are gone. Thought of some foods make me feel nauseous. On 2.5 I had a really nice sense of wellbeing. Don't know any other way to explain it. Wish this was approved for weightloss and pre-diabetes because it is life changing. They would rather you wait until you are actually diabetic to have access. My insurance would cover if approved but not for what I am using it for. Very frustrating. Don't know how much longer I can afford it. This is one medication that has changed myife. Have had no real negative side effects. Curious to hear of other's experiences.
