Overview

• A Times first-person piece describes a woman’s unintended weight loss after her husband lost 4.5 stone on Mounjaro, as smaller portions and fewer treats reshaped their household routine.
• Her husband paused the injections in December, regained about 1.5 stone, and has restarted at a lower dose to manage his weight again.
• Separately, Kirsty Anderson from Stirling says she lost four stone during pregnancy after a gestational diabetes warning, then a further six stone in five months on Mounjaro via provider Voy, reporting no side effects.
• Experts quoted note that weight-loss drugs can influence entire families’ eating habits, and the Times cites an estimated 1.5 million users of such medications in the UK.
• Coverage also outlines common gastrointestinal side effects and rarer risks such as pancreatitis and kidney problems, and notes private prescriptions can cost roughly £100–£200 per month.
