In this episode of Make Your Mark, I start with a check in on maintenance and what it feels like to hold my weight steady for over three months. This is something I have never properly managed before and it has taken a bit of getting used to after so long chasing weight loss every week.

I also talk through my plan to come off Mounjaro, why I have set Sunday the 30th of August as my final dose and why I am not currently planning to titrate down. This is not advice for anyone else, it is just the approach that feels right for me as I try to understand how much of this is now the habits I have built and how much support the medication is still giving me.

I also discuss a message I received about weight loss medications becoming more common and the concern that people who do not need them may start using them. I share my thoughts on the difference between misuse and proper medical access, and why better guidance and support matters.

This week I am joined by Holly, who has lost an incredible 13 stone. Holly used Wegovy as part of her journey but has also put serious work into training, fitness and changing her lifestyle. Her story is very similar to mine in so many ways and this was a really interesting conversation about weight loss medication, the gym, confidence and what life looks like after such a huge change.

I also finish the episode by talking about injection sites and why my stomach, which used to be my go-to area for Mounjaro, no longer feels effective for me.

In this week’s episode of Make Your Mark, I check in on where I’m at now that my weight has been holding steady for two months. After losing 100lbs on Mounjaro and 170lbs in total, maintaining my weight is something I’ve never properly achieved before, so this feels like a huge milestone.

I talk about why I’m staying on 15mg Mounjaro for the summer, how I’m using it to help me get through holidays, events and real life without being derailed, and why I plan to stop completely at the start of September to see how much I can manage on my own.

This week I’m also joined by Ben Welthy, my co-host from Over The Counter. Ben is now preparing for an amateur bodybuilding show towards the end of 2026, so we talk about training, eating to gain weight, body image, thin shaming and how fitness has become a major part of life after codeine addiction recovery.

I also talk about why I agree with the idea that GLP-1s are not simply fat loss drugs, but brain drugs, with fat loss being a side effect of the changes they create around hunger, food noise and behaviour.

A proper mix this week of maintenance, Mounjaro, recovery, bodybuilding and what comes next.

Episode 7 of Make Your Mark is here.

This week Mark checks in on life after major weight loss, turning 48 and why maintaining weight can sometimes feel mentally harder than losing it.

He also opens up about the growing negativity and criticism he’s been receiving online since sharing his Mounjaro transformation and breaks down what’s really behind many of the comments people leave about GLP-1 medications.

Mark is then joined by Conor O’Conor from Operation Transformation who speaks openly about starting his own Mounjaro journey with Everwell, where his health is currently at and the mindset behind finally deciding to make a change.

After the interview Mark discusses the growing pressure on Ireland to fund medications like Mounjaro through the public health system as patients continue paying hundreds of euro per month privately. He breaks down why obesity treatment is changing rapidly, why access to GLP-1 medications is becoming such a major issue and why the conversation around obesity in Ireland is only beginning.

Mark also discusses Retatrutide, the new GLP-1 medication currently in trials, why people should approach it cautiously and why the future of obesity treatment could look very different over the next decade.

Plus this week’s Top 5:

5 good replies to negative comments aimed at people using GLP-1 medications.
