Mounjaro – Weight Loss GOAL achieved! So what now?

I've been using Mounjaro tirzepatide via weekly injection for 16 weeks now. My diabetes is well controlled and averaging 94 glucose. A1C dropped from 10.6 to 5.4 in 3 months. I’m at the top end of my goal weight, Now it’s time to stop losing weight while at the same time treating my diabetes. This should be fun. Join me and learn with me.

Below is a daily journal of the foods I eat and what happens when. I'm still struggling with a few of the side effects of this medication. Constipation is the most frustrating one! Also, I need some relief for my foot pains!

Here’s the weekly journal:
