When Will You See Results from Wegovy or Mounjaro?

Understanding the weight loss timeline

Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are weekly injections that reduce appetite and support healthier blood sugar levels. Both medicines help patients feel fuller for longer, naturally reducing calorie intake.

They work steadily. Results appear over weeks and months - not overnight.

What clinical trials show

Most patients begin to notice visible results between weeks 8 and 12.

In the SURMOUNT-1 trial for Mounjaro, many patients lost 15% to 22% of their starting weight over 72 weeks.

Wegovy users in clinical studies lost an average of 15% of their starting weight over about 68 weeks.

The first few weeks focus on building tolerance at low doses. Most people start on:

Mounjaro 2.5mg

Wegovy 0.25mg

Weight loss in month one is usually mild. Nausea is the most common side effect at this stage and often settles quickly.

What to expect each month

Month 1

Small drops on the scale. This period is about adjusting to the medicine. Side effects are mild and usually fade within a few weeks.

Month 2 to 3

Hunger reduces. Clothes may begin to feel looser. Your pharmacist may advise stepping up the dose depending on progress.

Month 3 to 6

Weight loss becomes more noticeable. Patients often report 5 to 10 kilograms lost by this stage. Confidence builds as energy improves.

Month 6 to 12

This phase delivers the biggest change for many people. Some reach a 15 to 20 per cent reduction in total body weight.

Individual results vary

Every body responds differently. Results depend on age, starting weight, diet, movement levels, sleep, and stress.

At Fulham Palace Pharmacy, we help you focus on long-term trends rather than short-term fluctuations.

What you can do to support the process

Stick to balanced meals

Focus on lean proteins, vegetables, and slow-release carbohydrates. Local markets like North End Road offer plenty of fresh options.

Hydrate well

Aim for 6 to 8 glasses of water daily. Drinking between meals helps with portion control and supports your kidneys.

Get moving

Walk the Thames Path, take a gentle class in Hammersmith, or join Parkrun in Fulham. Movement helps your body use stored fat for energy.

Sleep well

Getting 7 to 9 hours a night supports appetite regulation and mood.

Log your progress

Track your weight, energy, and waist size weekly. Celebrate non-scale wins too, such as walking farther or feeling less out of breath.
