Expectation management

There seems to be several threads daily where people are describing their losses as ‘slow’ when they’re anything but.

I posted this on one of them and thought it was worth posting in its own right, as it seems that there’s a lot of unrealistic expectations out there about how quickly one ‘should’ be losing weight whilst on Mounjaro:

According to the clinical trial, fast responders are people who lose 5%+ of their starting weight in 12 weeks. To put that into context, that would equate to a loss of 1.25lb a week for a person with a starting weight of 300lb (21.5st) or a loss of 5lb over 4 weeks.

So hopefully this will help folks put their losses into perspective!
