Mounjaro -Week 12 vlog | Weight loss and Diabetes controlled!

Here's the weekly tirzepatide vlog. Please comment if you have any questions or would just like to say hello! I've been using Mounjaro now for 12 weeks. I'm currently on the 5mg dose of this once a week injection. I was prescribed Mounjaro for my out-of-control diabetes. The side-effect of weight loss is a huge bonus for me! I've always been overweight and had all but given up on losing to a healthy level. 12 weeks on Mounjaro and I'm down to 166.6 lbs! In this one I respond to a few comments and tell you how my week went etc etc.

Here's the weekly log:
