Weight Loss Injections: A Popular Start in 2025
In 2025, injectable weight loss medications like Mounjaro, Trulicity, and Wegovy have gained popularity across Ireland. These medications, known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, work by suppressing appetite and aiding blood sugar control—helping people lose weight quickly.
But the big question remains: What happens when you stop the injections?
Research Shows a Pattern of Weight Regain
According to a new analysis presented at the European Congress on Obesity 2025, most people regain lost weight within a year of stopping GLP-1 medication.
- On average, people lost 8kg, but regained it within 10 months after stopping the injections.
- Higher-dose users (e.g., Wegovy, Mounjaro) lost 16kg—but regained over 9.6kg within a year.
- Compared to diet plans, where weight regain takes 5 years, injections result in faster relapse.
- Reasons include side effects, cost, and lack of psychological support.

Why Weight Regain Happens After GLP-1 Injections
GLP-1 medications suppress appetite—but they don’t address underlying habits like:
- Stress or emotional eating
- Skipping meals
- Lack of routine
- Poor food coping mechanisms
That’s where Motivation Weight Management steps in.
