"People buying these need to be aware of the risk of fast weight regain when the treatment ends," warns investigator Dr Susan Jebb, from Oxford University.

I guess if you are on these drugs, you accept that you take them for life.

Did you read it? It's because they don't make lifestyle changes. I've started exercising and completely changed my diet. If I maintain those two things,I believe I will continue to remain within 10lbs of my current weight - I've been off for 12 months already with no upward movement at all. Sorrynotsorry jealous mama.

There is an assumption that people are angry bitter about quick weight loss that doesn't involve blood sweat and tears but I think many have sacrificed enough already so it doesn't make sense to care. I think when people point out any negatives, others accuse them of being spiteful but I suspect that is not actually a mainstream opinion.

I think people are annoyed with the posters here who are like "I weighed 120 and I am using it to maintain at 105" but no one begrudges actually obese people from getting healthy with this. It's a miracle for them.

Agree. Vanity users are prolific here which skews the conversation.

I want to see one well-reasoned point as to why you need to care about either group. Most of these are users are getting it from compound pharmacies online and not going through insurance (which used to be the gripe). So it impacts you about as much as it impacts you when they buy Tylenol.

I am against body dysmorphia and eating disorders. It’s bad for our daughters.

That it? Kind of grasping and nonsensical and not well reasoned at all. I'm against busy bodies who feel the endless need to police women's bodies. Make decisions for yourself and stop trying to control everyone else.

You reveal yourself to be a selfish person who doesn’t care about how your actions affects others. As I thought.

You reveal yourself to be an exceptionally dumb person (re-read my comment above about grasping) if you think that me taking care of MY body impacts you in any way. I'm pretty sure you already know it doesn't, but you choose to continue to post dumb stuff like this.

Please make sure that next time you let your daughter wear a crop top to let her know how it affects ME negatively in a tremendous way. See how dumb that sounds?

Talk about dumb comments.

I see it - you want to participate in an ED/body dysmorphia culture but get mad when called on it.

Doesn’t change the fact you are.

This most people who let themselves get that far don’t have great self control so not surprising that they’d regain the weight.

Here we go with the I'm better than you, you lack self control discussion. Many people who are on these meds are on it because there is something wrong with how their body processes hormones/insulin/etc., it is NOT about self control. So yes, obviously many people will regain the weight because their body goes back to working the way it did before.

People like me, who took it to lose 40lbs of weight that stuck around after babies have a much greater chance of keeping our weight off.

I know, right? It's sad and funny at the same time.

Don’t you understand- once “skinny” becomes a mass commodity, beauty standards will change yet again to something that’s unattainable for most women.

Their commodity is being saturated in the market.

Me too.

It’s still a lifetime plan to use it when necessary.

This is simple. No one cares except you apparently.

People are still better off with less weight, for any amount of time. Their body will still benefit from being 200lbs instead of 300lbs, even if they gain it back eventually.

If this true, why do we hear about the harm of yo-yo dieting?

Because yo-yo dieting required people to starve themselves and it was unsustainable

The study doesn't say that.

My neighbor was on a GLP-1 for a year and then her spouse lost her job. She’s been off of it for about a year now and is doing fine. Not everyone has big weight gain.

[Anonymous]

I was on for 4 months and lost 30lbs, DH was on for 12 months and lost 80lbs. We both stopped cold turkey. I have maintained my loss for 8 months, while DH has lost another 20 pounds on his own. We have several friends with similar stories and successes.

I would rather be on GLP-1 for the rest of my life than blood pressure meds, statins, and insulin.

Yoyo weight loss is probably worse than staying big.

At least the extra weight builds muscle to carry around.
