If the “lifestyle changes” are eating less — which is what most women in their 40s and 50s need to do to lose weight — that becomes a lot harder to do when you’re hungry again.

I am a person who does a ton of strength training and eats healthy food already. But I’m eating too much of it to lose weight. If a GLP1 makes me less hungry, I will eat less and lose weight. But if I go off and the hunger comes back, I likely won’t be able to maintain.

When I say lifestyle change I mean the women who still eat crap (like a small piece of their homemade lasagna with mozzarella, ricotta, and béchamel instead of two pieces.

While not universally the issue, this a huge part of it. If people learned to eat high volume nutrient but not calorie dense food, the body mostly self regulates. But most people don’t want to do that, which is why they ended up eating and craving the opposite for so long. And snacking (totally unnecessary) and treat yourself (daily).

It is totally healthy to eat lasagna. A small slice of lasagna, big green salad, and another side veggie is a very healthy meal.

Please stop focusing on the lasagna. I literally couldn't think of anything else - but I know people on GLP-1 who are still eating fast food, dessert daily, etc., and those people are not going to be able to maintain their weight because when they go off the meds, they will start increasing their portion size without even knowing it.

This. If you do not fundamentally change your eating habits you will end up at your starting weight or worse when you stop taking the shot. It is much more difficult to regulate how much you are eating with super savory or sweet foods. I have a major sweet tooth, but I’ve accepted that I cannot eat desserts because I then crave sweets more and more. For me, that simple change (that I made while I was taking the shot) has been crucial in helping me maintain my weight post GLP.

i think this is very verycommon among people who are overweight/obese

Sweetheart, this is very common among EVERYONE. Stop the superiority.

Go away troll

I'm sorry but the nasty bitties who blame overweight/obese women for just eating too much are the trolls. My body works differently than yours. That's it. That's why you're skinny and I'm not. But honey, I'll be there soon, and you and your friends will be nasty gossiping about me and my "ozempic loss" and I just. don't. care. I'm doing this for me, not you bitties.

I know two people who regained the weight after gastric bypass. And another two who just replaced food with alcohol.

I know people who have kept the weight off for years. They followed up with their doctors and continue to exercise. They also weigh themselves every week. It's a tool but you still need to do the work. Just like with the medication.
