Meghan Markle? Do naturally thin people take them?

Very common in Hollywood circles, yes. She has so little muscle tone, she probably does take it.

It's not just people trying to be nasty or critical. Like I'm genuinely interested in women who are taking it in menopause and at what starting weights and with what results, because that's my situation. I'm not shaming anyone, just looking for info.

Plenty of people talking about this on the health thread, and one’s doctor is a really good source of information about medical issues, in my experience. I don’t think this thread was started out of benign curiosity regarding health care information. It stems from wanting to shame people who have sought help with weight loss, as a logical outgrowth of general fat shaming.

DP and there is a lot of that in semaglutide discussions, obviously. But I think it's kind of silly to dismiss every discussion as fat shaming. Especially with celebrities, there's a "don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining" reaction - when everybody on screen loses 4 BMI points in 8 months the very year that Ozempic hits the shelves, the denials are obnoxious.

I am on Wegovy. It's magical and wonderful and life changing. I don't necessarily want to tell anyone that I'm getting "help" with my weight loss but I still look askance at my sister, who is on Mounjaro, posting to Facebook that she's found the miracle way to lose weight and it's some electric shock workout BS, all to throw people off the scent. Most people don't like being lied to, and even less when the lie assumes they're complete simpletons who will believe anything.

Were you overweight before Wegovy? Or thin but just not at your ideal weight?

Obese in spite of being very active (multiple triathlons active). When I say that it's life changing I mean it. So I do have a bit of judgment around people taking it to lose 10 lbs but I also recognize that for celebrities 10 lbs can be the difference between getting a job and not. We all make our choices.

If you are fit enough to run marathons, what is Wegovy helping with? (Like you, I'm not judging, just curious about your goals.) Does insurance cover it as long as you're over certain weight?

Not the PP but seriously to the bolded question? Size=fitness capacity.

DP and don't want to take away from the marathon runner. But for me, it was the ability to not think about food all the time, portion control, making healthier choices. Carrying extra weight is super hard on one's joints.

First of all it shuts off the little addiction voice telling you to get more more more. Some people call it food noise but it's not just food, but alcohol for me. Some people find they can quit smoking on this when they never could before.

But there's also likely something going on with subclinical metabolic syndrome. It was always suspected that I had *something* - hypothyrodism? PCOS? Prediabetes? And tests always come back clear and then doctors are just like "well I am out of ideas". The drug makes me a pretty tired so it actually makes exercising harder, but the weight is suddenly very easy to shift after 25 years of trying everything under the sun (WW, Atkins, keto, paleo, intermittent fasting, that stupid cayenne lemonade thing, you name it I've thrown myself into it at some point or another) for very minimal results.

I’m I’m honest I do sort of judge very thin people who use it to get tinier. But more I’m just really curious how everyone is handling the side effects, nausea etc… or is it really not that bad ?

From my experience, it's a non-issue. I lost 40 pounds over the course of 6 months and have maintained it for almost 2 years since then. I microdose (so use the 1.0 dose, not any of the 3 higher doses that are available). Except for heartburn the first month, I've had no side effects.

I'm relatively small and went on it to lose 10 lbs. It's been great and have had no side effects. I sometimes get gassy if I don't listen to my body and eat too much.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Kristen Bell has ALWAYS been tiny. Michelle Obama looks the same as she has always looked - muscular.

Channing Tatum? Come on.

John Goodman
Rosie O'Donnell
Oprah Winfrey

All lost significant amounts of weight on it.

Who cares? It's part of their job to be fit and lean. Hollywood has been using every trick in the book since tv/movies were a thing.

It's like expecting a lawyer not use online legal research, but instead to do it the "right way" by sitting a law library every night.

No way, Michelle has lost a solid 30 pounds. She’s thin now.

What doctor would prescribe it if you were already small?
