Hertfordshire Mum Drops 10.5 Stone in 16 Months on Mounjaro, Plans to Taper Off

The privately financed injections coincided with a reversal of her pre-diabetes.

Overview

  • Tina Bashford went from 23st 7lbs (size 26) to 12st 6lbs (size 12–14) after roughly 16 months of weekly injections.
  • She spent about £2,000 obtaining Mounjaro privately and now intends to wean off after reaching her goal.
  • She reported reduced sugar cravings within hours and lost 1st 2lbs in the first month while adding walking and swimming.
  • Her knee pain eased and she says improved mobility now lets her run, cycle and fly without a seatbelt extender.
  • Mounjaro is a GLP-1 drug developed for type 2 diabetes that suppresses appetite, and its rising private use in the UK has fueled calls for wider NHS access.
