A man has lost 8 stone – and counting – by combining Mounjaro jabs with one extreme exercise habit. Brandon Gee, 27, weighed 25st 5lbs and almost accepted he’d be dead before he was 30. He wore a size 5XL at his heaviest and would eat three takeaways a day, leaving him unable to walk for more than 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

But after some of Brandon’s family members died from health-related issues, it kicked him into gear. He initially lost just under 4st by doing 10,000 steps a day, but when he gained some of the weight back, he turned to Mounjaro in January 2025. And by combining it with around 30,000 daily steps, he has managed to shift a further 7st 8lbs.<\/p>\n

Now weighing 15st, he is able to run a 10km and is still losing weight. Brandon, a specialist cleaner from London, said: “It got to the point, where I didn’t think I was going to make it to 30 – I’d turned into a hermit.<\/p>\n

“At what point does the heart just give up? With my life before, I suffered a lot, and I didn’t want to leave the house. Not wanting to do anything that involved being seen – it had a massive impact on my mental health. But now I feel a lot different.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Before losing the weight, Brandon struggled so much that he would having breathing problems when lying down. He said: “I ended up becoming really bad with snoring<\/a> – I would stop breathing in my sleep and that scared me. If I laid down to watch TV my breathing got really heavy.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

In just over a year he lost 4st through exercise. But he ended up putting one back on and decided to get some extra help with the Mounjaro jab. He said: “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.”<\/p>\n

As well as that, Brandon upped his exercise and which he says was key to him getting some confidence back. He added: “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.<\/p>\n

“At the start my exercise was based around work and I slowly noticed I was having to sit down less. Now I’m doing a 10k which is something I never thought I could do after not being able to walk for 15 minutes. Over that time, it allowed me to go the gym and get my confidence back – I was worried at first.”<\/p>\n

\"BrandonBrandon plans to lose more weight<\/p>\n

Throughout his weight loss, Brandon has shared his journey on TikTok in the hopes of inspiring others. He said: “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.<\/p>\n

“People weren’t honest and there are so many people nowadays who feel so alone so I want to share my journey. 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.”<\/p>\n
