Currently at 2mg on Mounjaro and weighing whether to move up or stay here a bit longer. Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body.
Starting my log today - Mounjaro, 2mg
Staying put worked better for me than rushing up. I sat at 2mg for almost two months and broke through a three week stall on my own, dropped another 4 lbs without any change. Down 20 on reta at 4mg now, but patience early on really paid off.
Staying put a while is underrated - I sat at my dose an extra cycle before moving and the losses kept coming, still down 21 lbs. No rush if 2mg is still doing its job for you. Curious what your log shows over the next few weeks.
That stair win hits different after months of huffing through one flight. I noticed the same thing around 50 down - suddenly had energy left over in the evenings. No rush on the dose decision either; I sat at my dose for a while before moving and kept losing.
I plan my routine around shot day now and it helps. My doctor had me hold until side effects settled.
Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. Down 55 lbs over the last year on this journey.
Staying put on a dose until things feel easy worked out great for me, and I'm down 33 lbs partly because I didn't rush it. Shot day being my anchor for meal prep and tracking has helped a lot too.
55 lbs in a year is awesome, congrats. I also stayed on 2mg longer than planned because appetite control was already solid there, and the slower pace kept the side effects manageable. Keep logging those weekly numbers, they add up fast.
Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. This is huge.
My last check-up came back looking great. Hit goal weight this morning, still in shock.
Energy to actually cook dinner instead of collapsing. Maintenance for three months now and holding.
41 lbs at six months is solid progress, and props for logging it all. I was also nervous about whether to move up from a lower dose but staying put longer ended up being right for me, appetite was still quiet so no reason to rush. Curious how the rest of your first month goes.
Staying on a dose that already works seems smart to me - I hung around a lower dose longer than planned too and my loss just kept ticking along at about half a pound a week. Logging weekly like that is what kept me sane through the stalls.
Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Thanks for sharing this.
I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. Slow and steady titration has been the whole secret for me. Keep us posted! Just what worked for me, obviously.
I stalled out before my first move up and was tempted to rush it, but hanging back like you're considering made the difference for me. Only 5 lbs in so far, but the appetite quieting down was the first sign the lower dose was still doing its job. Curious to hear what you decide.
Staying put an extra cycle on mine was when the food noise finally died down, so I get why you're weighing it. Nothing wrong with letting a dose finish its work before chasing the next one. Curious what you land on too.
