Mounjaro Life W5D2 Mounjaro Tirzepatide Journey Blog


I went up this week to the 5mg doses and so far no significant side effects.   Taking the 2 Dulcolax pills and one probiotic pill per day has made me regular again for which I am thankful.   I am hoping as my body adjusts to the medicine I will be able to take less of the dulcolax on a daily basis.  No nausea at all these 5 weeks which had been my greatest fear about the drug (based on the YouTube and TikTok videos I watched).

I weighed in this morning and I was 332 pounds which is a 26 pound total loss since starting which is awesome!  My pants are definitely feeling looser in the belt.

I have been feeling energetic during the day but I am also getting plenty of sleep at night.

I have been mostly eating keto friendly foods with some occasional carbs.   The biggest advantage to this journey so far is that I don’t have to be ketotic at all nor worry about hidden carbs or craving where I “blow” my diet for the 3 days or so it takes to get back into ketosis.  This present situation (other than the price of medication) seems sustainable.

 The photo above represents finding joy on the  journey so far…

  Hello!   So today I weighed in at 237.6 which is awesome!      Here is a summary of my weight loss journey for the past 5 1/2 years … it shows my attempts before Mounjaro and although some success with gargantuan efforts it was completely unsustainable for me and very yo-yo like … my maximum recorded weight is in the middle of the chart so a couple of years in I weighed more than my first day!   The last downslope is the past year on tirzepatide / mounjaro / abound … Crazy!!   And now with sustained manageable  total daily healthy eating this past year  I have hit body  weights that I never honestly believed I would ever see again!  And I now believe I can lose even more … crazy but in a good way.   A complete mental reset. Here is the same graph but by BMI: The BMI of 53.4 and 52.2 were in the extremely obese (morbidly obese) category. My present BMI of 33.1 is still considered obese. I need to hit a BMI of 29 to no longer be considered obese .. a BMI of 29 would categorize me as OV

  So additional info from yeaterday’s post… Above is a photo from this morning and the last post had a photo at the bottom of me at my maximum weight!  My food plan: Mostly CorePower Chocolate Shakes (mixed with Fairlife chocolate shakes and CorePower Vanilla and Strawberry Banana shakes) One meal per day at home on work days … mostly Sloppy Joe’s made with ground turkey and keto buns with either side salad or fruit cups (no sugar added mandarin oranges or pineapple) and a 1/4 pint of ice cream (Hagan-Daz or Breyers).  Mix it up with chicken Tikka Masala or Ground Turkey tacos on keto friendly soft tortillas.   Those are with side salad or the fruit and possibly also the ice cream at the end. One weekends when I am being social I allow myself two regular meals without paying too much attention  to what I am eating (whatever is served) or something appealing at a restaurant … I do tend towards poultry and fish or vegetarian and avoid any heavy servings of red meat because I don’t  seem

  This is an AI rendition of what I would look like as a hippie … it made me think of the all the possibilities of what could be or what could have been … I am at a protracted plateau now fluctuating between 237-243 for the past couple of months.   The only thing I am doing different is that I am working out 2-3x per week in the gym trying to regain some of the muscle and strength I lost this past year.   It seems counterintuitive to me that working out would slow my weight loss down like this but maybe it does … for me! I have been amazied hy how many people have started their own weight loss journey.   Like me early on they want to keep it to themselves until other people notice a difference.   Human nature to be self conscious and afraid that what has worked for so many people won’t work for them.  I am going to stay the status quo for now and see if the weight loss starts again … but I will continue working out.  I am doing my shots every 7 days since I am on this plateau.   If I s
