Man Sheds 8 Stone with Mounjaro and Extreme Walking
From Nearly 26 Stone to Running 10K
A 27-year-old man has dramatically transformed his health, losing over eight stone by combining Mounjaro injections with an intense walking regimen. Brandon Gee, who once consumed three takeaways daily and struggled to walk for more than 15 minutes, has now shed the weight, improved his mental health, and embraced an active lifestyle.
A New Lease on Life
At his heaviest, weighing 25 stone and 5 pounds, **Brandon Gee** felt his life was nearing its end, fearing he wouldn’t reach the age of 30. He found himself socially isolated, wearing size 5XL clothing and experiencing significant health issues, including difficulty breathing when lying down and severe snoring that caused him to stop breathing in his sleep.
A turning point came after the health-related deaths of several family members. This spurred **Brandon** to make drastic changes. Initially, he focused on walking 10,000 steps daily, managing to lose nearly four stone. However, after regaining some weight, he sought medical assistance.
The Impact of Mounjaro and Dedication
In January 2025, **Brandon** began using Mounjaro. This medication, combined with his commitment to walking approximately 30,000 steps each day, led to a further loss of seven stone and eight pounds. He now weighs 15 stone and is able to comfortably run a 10-kilometer race.
The physical transformation has had a profound effect on his well-being. “At first I didn’t feel different, but the more time has gone on I noticed little things. My anxiety has completely gone and now I want to enjoy myself, go on holiday and do things that I couldn’t do before. You feel trapped before but now I feel amazing and being able to spend time with my daughter.”
Reflecting on his past habits, **Brandon** stated, “You don’t notice the weight sometimes. A lot of it stemmed from being home on a laptop with work. Getting comfortable with your habits and lots of takeaways – you don’t realise how bad it gets.”
He described his initial experience with Mounjaro: “I noticed it straight away. I was sceptical at first, but I took it in the morning, and I couldn’t finish my dinner that evening. I was still 22st at that point.”
The intensive exercise routine was crucial. “I’ve still had to do 30,000 steps a day and I go to the gym five days a week. I’ve had a strict diet and people start Mounjaro and expect it to be magic.”
The increased activity built his confidence, enabling him to undertake physical challenges he once deemed impossible.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that significant weight loss, often exceeding 5% of body weight, can improve or resolve obesity-related health conditions like sleep apnea and high blood pressure (CDC, 2024).
Sharing the Journey to Inspire Others
Through TikTok, **Brandon** has documented his weight loss journey, aiming to motivate others facing similar struggles. “Other people have been motivated by my videos to make a change and I wish I had someone at the time who was honest with me.”
He believes in the transformative potential of Mounjaro for many individuals. “Yes, I use Mounjaro, but I genuinely think it will change so many lives – I think it will be revolutionary. This why I’m such an advocate for helping others is you don’t realise how trapped you feel.”
