A UK woman regained 9lbs after stopping Mounjaro, now takes it long-term to maintain weight loss and avoid diabetes.

A 32-year-old woman from Sunderland who lost over four stone using the weight loss drug Mounjaro says she likely needs to take it for life to maintain her weight after regaining 9lbs within weeks of stopping. She experienced intense food cravings and struggled with old eating habits despite exercise, leading her to resume the drug in October 2025 with a structured approach including calorie tracking and workouts. Since restarting at a 5mg dose, she has lost a stone and no longer craves sweets. She pays £200 monthly, viewing it as a necessary investment to avoid type 2 diabetes risk, even though the drug has dulled her taste for food.
