I'm not on Ozempic!

I am on Wegovy FOR MY HEALTH. I have tried to lose weight by starving myself and exercising and I always hit a certain plateau. Wegovy is helping me get past that plateau. It's also helping my A1C and blood pressure get lower, so it is helping me get healthier. I really don't GAF what you and the PPs on this thread think about HOW I'm losing weight. I just care that I'm getting healthy.

If you lost weight for superficial reasons, then fine, you reached your goal too. Your goal was different from mine and that's okay.

Not necessarily.

Congrats, OP! I gained 30 pounds during the pandemic, managed to lose 15 last year, but can’t shake the last 15. I’m perimenopausal and have PMDD, so consistency in diet and workout is an issue the second half of my cycle, and don’t qualify for any of these meds.

Nothing wrong with being on Ozempic, but it's just frustrating that nobody thinks it's possible to lose weight any other way.

Do you think you approach was more virtuous or something

Not the OP but yes, it was.

It's like people who use epidural vs. natural birth. Judgmental people will always find a new thing to judge about. I'm on one of these meds and the part that's hard is the possible side effects. Fell better now. We are suffering.

And it's not a total walk in the park. I still get hungry, need to make good choices, and exercise.

Why do you feel the need to lie? You could just say nothing

Yeah, it’s fine. They know you are on meds (or maybe suspect a bypass). No is obese for a decade plus then is abruptly down 60+ lbs from diet and exercise.

OP really wanted people to come on here and congratulate her and tell her how amazing she is and instead everyone dumped on her for being such an ignorant jerk. Also, now we all know that OP was a fatty because she ate too much and not because she medically or hormonally couldn't lose it, so that makes it worse, LOL

No, it wasn’t. Why would you think that.

DP but IMO it's OK to lie when people are asking a very rude question, like if you're on medication. That's very private.

They definitely do, if they start a keto diet or something. Really obese people who have been eating double or triple the recommended calories who suddenly go on a diet can drop weight incredibly fast without drugs.

(they will probably regain it but I assume that happens to people who stop the prescriptions as well)

+1. Why does it matter how someone lost weight? They made a plan and committed to it. The plan they made is none of your business.

How do you think 99% of people become “medically” or “hormonally” incapable of losing obesity level weight? I’m sure the answer is they were just predestined from birth to be that way and no personal lifestyle choices has anything to do with it

If you don’t want to answer, then don’t. Why lie? Are you embarrassed you took meds? Does it make you feel better to have people think you did it out of your own good decision making and will power?
