Just a quick update. I’m going to be moving most of my weight loss, Mounjaro and maintenance content over to fearo.com so everything is in one place. I don’t want to spread myself too thin across too many platforms and I’d rather build one proper hub with blogs, guides, podcast links and support resources. Thanks to everyone who joined here. I’ll keep sharing useful stuff through my socials and fearo.com going forward. Mark.

One thing Mounjaro has made me realise is how much I used food as entertainment. Not just comfort. Not just hunger. Entertainment. Something to do. Something to look forward to. Something to fill time. Before, if I was bored, food was often the answer. If it was the weekend, food became the plan. If I had nothing on, I would start thinking about takeaways, snacks, ice cream or whatever else I could fit into the day. I didn’t realise how much of my life revolved around it until the food noise started to quieten down. Now I find myself doing more things like getting out for walks, going to the gym, moving more and finding other ways to clear my head. That has been one of the biggest changes for me. Mounjaro didn’t just help me eat less. It created space where food used to take over. The important part now is filling that space with something better. More walks. More training. More time with the kids. More living. Food can still be enjoyed. I still have treats. I still have my higher calorie meals. But food is no longer the main event every time I’m bored, stressed or just looking for something to do. That is a change I never expected. Has anyone else noticed this? That once food stops being the main entertainment, you actually have to find other things to fill that space?

One thing I never really thought about before Mounjaro was how much easier normal movement could feel. I’m not talking about training or intense workouts. I mean walking, climbing stairs, playing with the kids and getting through a busy day without everything feeling like hard work. Mounjaro helped me massively with appetite and food noise. But getting fitter came from what I did alongside it. Walking more, training consistently, eating enough protein and slowly building habits I could maintain. The scales matter. But one of the best parts of losing weight is realising your body is no longer fighting you throughout the day. If you’re early in your journey, don’t underestimate walking. It doesn’t need to be fast or intense. Start with what you can manage and gradually build from there. How much walking are you currently doing each day? Has it become easier since starting your journey?

I got a comment on my socials on a video about Mounjaro saying they were anti Mounjaro. No hate towards them at all. It was actually a supportive comment overall. But it did make me think. Why are some people so anti Mounjaro or anti weight loss medication in general? I completely get that these medications can be misused. I also get that some people may take them and not do much work around food, exercise or lifestyle. But that can happen with almost anything. For me, you still get back what you put in. Mounjaro has changed my health in a way that is hard to explain unless you have lived in a body that felt under serious pressure every day. The strain off my body, my breathing, my heart, my fitness and even just moving around day to day is completely different now. So when I see people totally against GLP-1s, I do wonder what part they are actually against. Is it the medication itself? Is it people using help to lose weight? Is it the fear of long-term use? Is it because they think it is the easy way out? I’d be interested to know what others think. Have you had people comment negatively about you using Mounjaro or another GLP-1? And if so, what did they say?

Tried last night so will top up in a few days. Not convinced it’s going to work. I use Shotsy app - naturally the dose levels predictions are lower as I’ve topped up with half the dose. Let’s see.
