One of the most common questions we receive at Rightangled is: "How long will it take to see results from Mounjaro or Wegovy?" Weight loss is a personal journey, and results can vary depending on your starting point.
Weeks 1 to 4: Your Body Begins to Adjust
During the first few weeks, you’ll typically start on a lower introductory dose (e.g. 2.5mg for Mounjaro or 0.25mg for Wegovy). These early doses are not focused on weight loss—they're designed to allow your body to adjust and minimize side effects such as nausea or bloating.
You may not see major changes in appetite or weight during this time, but it’s a crucial foundation for your treatment journey.
Weeks 4 to 8: Appetite Reduction & Early Progress
By week 4, your dose will usually increase (to 5mg for Mounjaro or 0.5mg for Wegovy), and you may start to notice:
- A reduction in hunger
- Feeling full more quickly
- Smaller portion sizes
- Steady, modest weight loss
Many users begin to lose their first few kilos during this stage, especially when the medication is paired with mindful eating and increased activity.
Months 2 to 3: Visible Results Begin
With continued dose increases and your body adapting, most patients begin to see visible and measurable weight loss by months 2 to 3. This is where motivation often increases as results become more apparent both on the scale and in how clothes fit.
Depending on your starting weight and lifestyle, it’s common to lose between 5–10% of your body weight within the first 3 months of consistent use.
Month 3 and Beyond: Sustainable Weight Loss Continues
From month 3 onward, patients typically reach their maintenance dose (e.g. 7.5mg–15mg for Mounjaro or 1.7mg–2.4mg for Wegovy). This is where the medication shows its full potential.
Clinical studies show:
- Wegovy users lost an average of 15% of body weight over 68 weeks
- Mounjaro users saw up to 20% or more with consistent long-term use
Your results will depend on individual factors, but with regular injections and healthy habits, this stage brings sustainable, steady weight loss and improved overall health.
Key Factors That Influence Results
- Consistency: Taking your injections on time, every week
- Diet & Lifestyle: Eating balanced meals and staying active
- Individual Metabolism: Every body responds differently
- Dose Titration: Following the recommended dose progression
When to Speak to a Prescriber
If you haven’t noticed any changes after 8 to 12 weeks, it’s worth speaking to our team. In some cases, a dosage adjustment or closer monitoring may be needed to ensure the medication is working effectively for you.
Final Thoughts
Patience is key when starting any medical weight loss treatment. Mounjaro and Wegovy are designed to support long-term, sustainable results—not overnight fixes. Most patients begin to see real progress by weeks 6 to 12, with continued improvements over the months that follow.
