[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are you doing with maintenance?  Are you putting on weight?  What is your plan to maintain?  My Mom has lost 30 pounds and is at goal.  So far so good, but she’s still keeping a pretty firm grip on her eating.  [/quote]

I lost 55 pounds since July and stopped 2 weeks ago.  So far, my appetite is still decreased and I'm still losing (slowly).

I am hoping to lose another 10 pounds but I'm having a hard time getting the prescription filled right now so I'm either going to go on Wegovy (covered by insurance) or just go the old fashioned way with eat less/move more.

For me, the biggest hurdle for weight loss was the ideal that I had over 50 pounds to lose.  It was such a daunting number.  Now that I only have 5 to lose before I am not technically overweight.....I mentally feel like I can do that!

That’s great!  What has your experience been like on the drug?  Was it Mounjaro?[/quote]

Yes, Mounjaro.
The experience has been overwhelmingly positive.  The first few weeks, I had some nausea but nothing major.  I felt thirsty all the time, so I drank tons of water.  When I felt hungry, I would eat but I would only want half or less of what I would have previously.
I made conscious changes to my diet (more fruits and veggies) but I never felt like I was being deprived. Cravings for sweets and savory treats were gone.  I didn't add any exercise routine but as I lost weight I felt better and move around a lot more.  Taking walks with my kids, taking the stairs instead of the elevator etc.  I had surgery in the middle of this time and I have had limited mobility for the last 10 weeks.   
Once I'm cleared to, I'm going to start walking a couple of miles a day.
