Do you tell people you are on a GLP-1?

True but I would never ask about weight loss or any other drugs.

I plan to tell people. So far I have lost 5lbs and no one has noticed but if they did I don't want other women who have struggled with their weight to think that they just have to try harder. Everyone is just doing their best and if they want to take a GLP1, why not?

I never tell. Every single adult alive knows about Glp -1 drugs. They can use them or not. If someone asks i just say diet and exercise.... which is 100% true. They seem to diminish thar if i mention the shot.

So what? It's nothing to be ashamed about. People are all losing weight for the same reasons, it doesn't matter how they lost it. Get over yourself.

It is obvious that you are self conscious about it

No of course not. I don't share any of my medical information ever.

No ones asked. My weight has always fluctuated so being down 10-12 lbs doesnt look drastically different. But if I keep losing weight I know I will start getting questions.

He then proceeded to tell me all about people who knew who were on it and I realized I did the right thing not telling him anything. My Mom has not directly asked but hinted. I would probably be okay telling her but at this point I feel like the time has passed and I'm more in the maintaining phase so its not as much a topic for conversation.

People know you are on it that is why they brought it up.

Not sure what your point is. Knowing or suspecting something is a good reason to bring it up? Or something else?

I tell everyone. It was life changing for me and I hope it can be for other ppl too

Except people are asking. I have answered people who asked me how I lost weight. But ladies, it's incredibly rude to ask someone who is not your close friend or family member how they lost weight. Just don't talk about weight, it's not hard.

people can tell.
it's nothing to be embrassed about - you'll have great labs (blood pressure, cholestorol, etc) and feel healthy again! hooray!

I used to say that I would tell people, but I've changed my opinion to: "It depends on who they are and how they ask." Recently, I had someone who is a long-time acquaintance ask me in a sort of aggressive way in front of a group of people, "Are you doing the shot? You've lost a lot of weight," and I said, " Nope." They just wanted gossip material, and it wasn't coming from a "good for you" type of place. Also, I did not feel like answering questions about my weight/health in front of an audience. Another person who I know has been struggling to drop weight for a long time said "you look fabulous" and then quietly asked if I'd done anything radically different to finally move the scale (she knew that I'd also been stuck at a too high weight). I told her I finally bit the bullet and started a GLP. We had a conversation about my experience and pros/cons because she's considering it. The latter felt positive and helpful.

I tell people if it feels right.
Someone I met after my 37 lb weight loss said I’m lucky I’m naturally thin at 5’4” and 128. I said I’m not naturally thin at all. I used meds to drop the weight. I’m not going to make anyone feel hopeless.
If it was someone I didn’t trust or know well enough I wouldn’t bother
