Is anyone NOT on Ozempic or similar drugs?

[Anonymous]

Of the 30 or so women in my circle, all but 2 are on Ozempic or a similar drug. What percentage of women do you think are currently on these drugs?

no, some are for sure, but many are either slightly overweight or at the top of their normal weight range.

It's funny that everyone insisted they never ate much, dieted ALL THE TIME and then they go on ozempic, it makes them not hungry and we really see it was a discipline problem all the time despite their lies.

(not to get confused with the ones who are like I just like food!) talking about the denialists here.

I’m surprised they’re all admitting it! I suspect several people in my circles are using it (including myself) but no one is talking about it. As another friend quipped, “it’s funny that everyone discovered walking and intermittent fasting in the past year”

This. I live in Arlington, and I know one friend who took it.

I'm in Falls Church and don't know anyone admitting to being on it or losing weight suddenly. I'm pregnant so that's a no for me.

How do they get it? I'm obese and my doctor won't prescribe it.

Nova if it matters

Me exactly. But it seems like everyone else is one is especially now that it’s pool season!

Does the drug make other changes, like to the metabolism or energy? Or does it strictly change appetite? I really haven't read much about it and don't know anyone taking it. And was it really a discipline problem if they were truly hungry (not just snacking for fun?) I think it's probably more complex than you're making it sound.

I’ve lost 40 lbs since December and am not on it. And I don’t know anyone who admits to being on it but several friends are pregnant or TTC so could be the age of my group (early to late 30s).

I’m 48 and have lost about 25 pounds since January through exercise (typically 2 hours a day) and diet.

Not on Ozempic. I spent a weekend catching up with a friend on Ozempic. She barely eat anything even when she was hungry and there is something just not right about that. I actually eat a lot, it’s just healthy food.

There's a huge difference between being disciplined (i.e., restricting calories, eating healthy foods, etc) and just not being hungry. For many people, dieting means deprivation, not discipline. Feeling hungry all the time is a miserable feeling. On these drugs, people aren't hungry. You sound bitter. You probably have been starving yourself for 20 years and are constantly miserable and feel like the people on these drugs are cheating because they are now skinny like you, but not starving. Oh well....deal with it.
