Hi from Bonnie Scotland.

I've been on Retail Mounjaro for 20 months. Reached goal weigh around September last year and have been maintaining since. I tried tapering but food noise was a constant devil on my shoulder. So have been maintaining on 7.5 which was my highest dose anyhoo.

Why am I here? ... well cost primarily and the feeling I will have to take T for some time and it may even lose it's effectiveness eventually. I want to be ready for that.

I have to admit some of this stuff is very confusing but you all seem helpful. So, big thanks in advance. Jazz
 
Welcome! And congrats on reaching your goal. My other half was on retail for a few months but it costs a fortune and definitely too much for the pair of us. She’s had better results with Reta. I have nothing to compare it to but it’s been a good start. About to place our first order with a vendor too so the cost is nearly a tenth of what we paid from a reseller.

Thank you, I was more than happy on retail but the cost is ridiculous especially after they were forced to raise prices. I will stay on tirz until it no longer helps the food noise and the reassess.

My results were brilliant form the start and I only needed to move up after a few months on each if the earlier doses. I can't tell how great it is to maintain a weight I love. Health reasons main driver but heavens there are so many benefits. Good luck on your first order.. I've just placed mine as well. 🤞

Fingers crossed for yours too. I was talking to friends about maintenance and most of them seemed to think they’d get to a certain weight and just stop. A couple of them did that and piled weight on so I’m planning to get where I want and then stay on a low dose pretty much forever.

Yes maintenance is something you need to keep in mind. I learned a lot about myself on MJ. I always ate healthily but put my weight down to emotional eating, I now recognise that as food noise, for me anyhoo. MJ takes that away so, going forward, I can't see any other way but to keep taking the shot. 😊

There isn't enough research on maintenance available yet. Hopefully it will come.
