The thing I worry about is that many people on things like this don’t seem to be really learning new habits and to live and eat a new way. So, when they go off the drug, for one reason or another, it seems many will eventually just wind up where they started.
I am on mounjaro. All this med does is take away hunger pangs. You still have to diet, I lost 22 pounds, still have to lose 20 more. If people go off it, they still have to keep up with dieting. Some people go on a low maintenance dose after the weight loss.

My youngest brother took mounjaro for about 6 months, lost over 80 pounds, meamwhile ditching sugar loaded drinks and desserts. In the last 3 months since being off of the drug he has been able to resist the old eating habits, and has begun an exercise routine that he couldn’t do at 285 pounds.
My wife and I have kept each other in check, and are right about where we were when we met over 47 years ago: 125 and 180 (she’s 5’6”, I’m 6’1”)
