Mounjaro Month 4 Update - My Weight Loss Drug Journey
Our summary
In this month four update, Caroline, a creator who makes over 50 lifestyle videos, recaps her fourth month on Mounjaro. She says the month was about getting back into routine after the Christmas break, with more planning, healthy eating and a return to exercise. She describes walking on a treadmill five mornings a week, building up time on a rebounder, and starting to use an exercise bike she was gifted.

Where tirzepatide costs least today
The three cheapest partner programs for tirzepatide, all in per month, checked weekly. Brand Mounjaro and compounded versions are different products; each row says which it is.
What else the video covers
She says she moved from 5 mg to 7.5 mg during the month. Side effects were little changed: she still takes psyllium husk daily for constipation and recommends it, and she mentions one morning of stomach pain and nausea that kept her in bed for two hours, which she is unsure was related to the drug. She then goes through the month week by week. Week one brought a 2.8 loss, week two a 1 pound loss that she links to cold weather, bread cravings, extra meals out and less water, week three a 2 loss after she increased her exercise, and week four a 3 loss.
Caroline says she is leaving more food on her plate since the move to 7.5 mg, and she shares how she responds when a restaurant asks why she did not finish a meal. Her total for the month was 8.8, bringing her overall loss to 2 stone 3.6 lb, which she gives as 31.6 lb. She says she does not want faster loss, and wants to keep eating nourishing food as part of a long term lifestyle change. She plans to stay on 7.5 mg for now.

Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.
- Mounjaro side effects: the label's numbers by dose, the low blood sugar risk, and how tirzepatide compares at weight-loss doses
On Mounjaro's own label, the common side effects are stomach ones and they rise with the dose: nausea in 12, 15 and 18 percent of people at 5, 10 and 15 mg against 4 percent on placebo, diarrhea 12 to 17 against 9, and any gastrointestinal reaction in 37 to 44 percent against 20. Most of it happens while the dose is being raised and fades. Low blood sugar is rare on Mounjaro alone and is mainly a risk when it is added to insulin or a sulfonylurea. Below: the full table, the rare warnings, and why Zepbound's numbers for the same molecule look higher.
- 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%.
- Mounjaro dosage chart: the label's schedule, every pen and vial, and what each dose costs
Mounjaro starts at 2.5 mg injected once a week. If more blood sugar control is needed, the dose goes up in 2.5 mg steps after at least four weeks on the current dose, to a maximum of 15 mg a week for adults and 10 mg for children 10 and older. Lilly sells every strength self-pay starting at $499 a month, so on the brand the price does not climb with the dose.
