I TRIED MOUNJARO FOR WEIGHT LOSS FIRST 4 WEEKS /HONEST OPINION AND RESULTS/GLP1
Our summary
In this video, Cate from the Home with Cate channel records her first four weeks on Mounjaro, which she buys privately through Voy. She says she is a BMI 30, perimenopausal and has endometriosis, and that weight had stopped shifting. She presents the video as her own choice and asks for kind, constructive comments. She describes the Voy process as a health questionnaire and photos, followed by delivery in a cold pack with a pen, a sharps bin, an app and online coaching. She also mentions a discount code that she says gives 25% off the first order, at £127.

What else the video covers
Cate says she started on 2.5 mg and had very mild side effects: a dry mouth and feeling cold. She says she had no headaches, sulfur burps, nausea, vomiting or bowel problems. She reports a much lower appetite, little interest in sweet foods, and a focus on protein, water and herbal tea. She keeps going to the gym three to four times a week with resistance training, and lists her supplements. She took her injection the night before an all-inclusive holiday and says she ate what she wanted without overindulging. She moved to 5 mg for week five.
She says she is tracking body composition and measurements rather than a target number. Her weekly losses were 3.12 lb, 1.3 lb, 2.2 lb and 1 lb, for 8.1 lb in total. Her measurements fell by 1.5 inches at the thighs, 2 inches at the waist and 1 inch at the hips, for 4.5 inches overall, with no change at the upper arms or chest. She repeats that this is her personal experience and tells viewers to do their own research and speak to a doctor.

- Mounjaro for weight loss, and why Zepbound exists
Mounjaro is tirzepatide approved for type 2 diabetes. Zepbound is the same molecule from the same maker, approved for weight management, and it goes to the same 15 mg. So unlike Ozempic and Wegovy, there is no dose ceiling pushing you from one to the other: the reason people move is coverage and cash price, not strength. Using Mounjaro for weight is off-label and a prescriber's decision. In the one head-to-head trial, tirzepatide beat semaglutide, 20.2% mean body-weight loss at 72 weeks against 13.7%.
- How to get Mounjaro: the diabetes route, and why the weight route is a different box
Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes in adults and children from 10, and Lilly's own site says it is not a weight-loss drug. With a diabetes diagnosis, any prescriber can write it and a commercial plan that covers it brings it to $25 with Lilly's card. Without diabetes, a prescriber can write it off-label, but no insurer will cover it and LillyDirect self-pay starts at $499 a month, against a list price of $1,112.16 per fill. The same tirzepatide in the Zepbound box is approved for weight, plan-coverable, and sold direct for $299 to $699.
- The best GLP-1 for weight loss, ranked by the evidence and then by the bill
By weight lost, the order is settled: tirzepatide (Zepbound) first at 20.2% in the only head-to-head, then semaglutide 7.2 mg (Wegovy HD) at 18.7%, then semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy) at 13.7% to 15.6%, then the pills. By what you pay, the order nearly inverts: compounded semaglutide from $69 a month, the Wegovy tablet from $149, Wegovy pen $349, Zepbound $299 to $699 by dose. The best one is where those two lists meet for your budget and your plan.
