Five months in on Mounjaro and I finally put together my side by side photos and stats this afternoon. Down 35 lbs and honestly the difference in my face is what got me, more than anything else. Would love for folks who are a few months ahead of me to share what changes surprised them most around this stage.
Your journey
Comparison update posted today at month 5
Face was the big one for me too, but the odd one was catching my reflection in a shop window and not clocking it as me for a second.
What got me was my rings getting loose before my clothes did. Did the face change hit you all at once or creep up slowly?
The thing that caught me off guard later on was catching my own reflection in a shop window and not clocking it as me for a second. When did you start noticing the face change, was it gradual or did a photo just hit you sideways?
honestly, i'm only a few months in myself but the face change is the one I keep noticing in the mirror, and it's strange how gradual it is until you see it side by side. Mine crept up on me without any single moment of noticing.
The seatbelt thing is funny, I still yank mine way out before it clicks that I don't need to. What surprised me around month five was catching my reflection in a shop window and not immediately looking away.
the thing that got me around month six was catching my reflection in a shop window and not recognizing the guy for a second. Face changes land different than the number does.
honestly the seatbelt thing made me laugh, I did the same for weeks before it clicked. What surprised me more was catching my reflection in a shop window and not immediately looking away.
Rings were my weird one too, around month seven my wedding band started spinning and I nearly lost it in a drain. Did your face change keep moving after month five or did it level off?
did the face thing hit you all at once or creep up gradually? I only noticed because a badge photo at work looked nothing like the one on file
The face thing hit me too, but the bigger surprise was my collarbones showing up out of nowhere when I looked in the mirror one morning. Did the loose rings catch you off guard or did you see it coming?
The watch band thing got me too, had to move the clasp on mine a couple weeks back and it felt strange in a good way
What got me was my shoes feeling loose before anything else changed. Did you notice anything like that before the face difference showed up?
What got me was shoes, went down a full size without noticing until a pair I'd worn for years started slipping off. Weird thing to have to replace
I'm a couple months behind you but the face thing hit me too, mostly noticing it in photos before I ever saw it in the mirror. My hands were the weird one, rings got loose way earlier than I expected.
face was the first place I noticed it too, and by month six my glasses were sliding down my nose constantly. Nobody warned me about that one.
The face change kept going for me well past month five, cheekbones came out of nowhere around month seven. Weirdest one was my shoe size dropping half a size, nobody warned me about that
The jawline thing is what I'm watching for. I'm only down a pound so far, but my rings are already looser, which I did not expect this early.
The face thing hit me too and I'm only 16 down. My rings are looser though, which I did not see coming at all
Rings spinning is exactly what caught me off guard, mine slipped off in the sink at around month 5 and that was my first clue anything had changed in my hands
