My Mounjaro reset plan: week 3 – stay on track
Peter Paumgardhen | Last update: 9th December 2025
Welcome to Week 3 of your SlimrChat Mounjaro Reset Plan. OK, you’ve built some structure over the last 2 weeks but now is where most people start to lose motivation or get bored. Don’t worry, that’s totally normal…but week 3 is about tips to stay on track and not giving up.
This week focuses on mixing things up, breaking through the dip, and using real-life tactics to keep going, even when your energy, enthusiasm or results start to stall.

Week 3 – Stay on Track When It Gets Boring
This week is about:
- Breaking up monotony with new food ideas
- Overcoming the ‘what’s the point?’ or ‘I can’t do it!’ slump
- Resetting your ‘why’ – the why am I doing this?
- Coping with motivation dips and staying consistent even without results
Example Meal Plan – Mix it Up
Still simple, still protein-first – here’s just a few new ideas to stop you hitting a food rut.
Breakfast (2 options)
- Savoury protein pot: Cottage cheese + avocado + seeds + tomatoes on crispbread
- Overnight oats: Greek yoghurt + oats + frozen cherries + flaxseed
Lunch (3 options)
- Fishcake salad box: Oven-baked fishcake + green leaves + beetroot + light dressing
- Stuffed pitta: Leftover chicken or turkey, salad, light mayo in wholemeal pitta
- Tuna and bean pot: Canned tuna + cannellini beans + lemon juice + herbs
Dinner (4 ideas for main courses)
- Chicken traybake (peppers, courgettes, red onion, feta)
- Tofu stir-fry (frozen veg + soy sauce + egg noodles or rice)
- Burgers and slaw: Turkey or veggie burger + coleslaw + sweet potato fries
- Egg fried rice: 2 eggs + frozen peas + spring onion + microwave rice
Snacks
- Protein bar or shake (aim for 20g+ protein and low sugar)
- Handful of nuts + fruit
- Low-fat babybel + grapes
Movement: Switch the Stimulus
If things are feeling stale, keep it short – but it’s important to change it up.
Try:
- New YouTube workouts (10–15 mins max)
- Music-based movement: Dance breaks, fast walks to playlists
- Ditching the tracker: If obsessing, stop counting and focus on how it feels
Motivation tricks by personality type:
- Low conscientiousness: Set a movement goal based on environment (e.g. ‘if I sit on the sofa, I have to do 5 squats first’)
- High neuroticism: Create a low-stakes win streak. Tick off 5 days of ‘I moved today’ and reward yourself.
When You’re Not Seeing Results
If weight loss has slowed or paused, don’t worry that’s normal.
Focus on these instead:
- Am I still eating enough protein?
- Is my sleep and stress manageable?
- Am I doing more than I was a month ago?
If ‘yes’ to any of these then you’re still making progress. How much you weigh is not the only measure.
Use this week to reset your ‘why:
- More energy?
- Less back pain?
- Easier movement?
- Better confidence in clothes?
Write it down. Keep it visible. Remind yourself of it.
Final Word from SlimrChat
Motivation comes and goes but habits keep going. Week 3 is the sticky middle. That’s why it matters.
Reset your rhythm. Switch up what’s stale. And remember: even on a bad day, one decent meal and a short walk still count. Next week, Week 4, we look at finishing strong.
