For most people, losing weight isn’t really about jeans or dress sizes. It’s about being able to climb stairs without gasping, waking up with energy, or simply feeling at home in your own skin again. Around Greater Manchester, plenty of people have battled with diets, fitness apps, and strict routines that just don’t last. At Imaan Pharmacy Werneth, we’ve had the chance to see how Mounjaro weight loss injections are changing that story for local patients, not in some flashy, overnight way, but in small, steady steps that add up to big life shifts.
Mounjaro (the medical name is tirzepatide) works differently from fad diets or quick fixes. It helps the body manage appetite and blood sugar so that food no longer feels like a constant battle. People often say the biggest surprise is how much mental space it frees up. Instead of thinking about what’s next to eat, they finally get on with their day.
But the best way to explain Mounjaro isn’t with science, it’s with stories.
Sarah from Oldham: “I wasn’t fighting myself anymore.”
Sarah is 42 and, in her own words, had “been on every diet under the sun.” She joined gyms, downloaded all the apps, signed up for meal plans, you name it. The weight always crept back.
When she started Mounjaro through Imaan Pharmacy Werneth, she noticed something different almost straight away. “I wasn’t hungry all the time. That was the shock,” she laughed. “It felt like I wasn’t fighting myself anymore.”
Over six months she lost more than three stone. But what she talks about most isn’t the numbers, it’s confidence. She joined a local walking group, something she’d put off for years. “I thought I’d be embarrassed or too slow. Now I look forward to it. It’s like getting a piece of my life back.”
Imran from Chadderton: “It gave me a second chance.”
For Imran, weight wasn’t just about how he looked. At 55, living with type 2 diabetes, his health was on the line. He had tried diet changes, exercise, and even short bursts of progress. But nothing stuck.
His GP suggested exploring medical weight loss injections in the UK, and he came to Imaan Pharmacy for advice. That’s when he started Mounjaro.
Nine months in, he’d lost two and a half stone. More importantly, his blood sugar readings were far more stable. “I feel lighter on my feet, but the real gift is energy,” he said. “Before, I’d come home from work and collapse on the sofa. Now I actually get out with my grandkids. It feels like a second chance.”
Layla, Teacher in Greater Manchester: “I finally stopped yo-yoing.”
At 30, Layla had been stuck in a cycle of losing and regaining weight for nearly a decade. “I’d do well for a while, then one stressful week at work and it was all back on,” she admitted. “It felt like failing over and over again.”
A friend recommended Mounjaro support in Greater Manchester, and she booked a consultation at Imaan Pharmacy Werneth. What stood out for her wasn’t just the medicine, it was the follow-up. “They actually checked in. Adjusted things. Listened. It wasn’t like I was left to figure it all out myself.”
Twelve months later, Layla’s progress is steady and sustainable. She’s healthier, more energetic in the classroom, and finally feels hopeful about keeping the weight off. “I don’t see this as a diet anymore, it’s just my life now.”
