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 ?

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.

What doctor would prescribe it if you were already small?

You don’t need a doctor.
I use it and am 3 lbs away from my goal weight. Started May 1

It’s so obvious. Everyone looks like they have no muscle mass.

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?

Being active does not result in people losing weight, they have to eat less to starve the body to start using fat. That starvation level is hard during weight loss, even harder once you reach the goal weight. That is why rich people like Oprah lost and gained weight in spite of their vast resource, till GLT-1.

Right, more or less -- exercise will generally produce some weight loss, but it won't make a fat person thin.

By the same token, you can be fat and metabolically healthy, although I guess that was not the case for the marathoner

This is crazy talk. Thin does not mean healthy. Are you doing cardio and heavy weight lifting to use and build your muscles, including your heart muscles? When you are older, how will you be able to lift yourself out of a wheelchair or climb stairs? Being “thin” is not the ultimate goal.

The acronym for it is MONW, which stands for metabolically obese, normal weight (outside medical world call it TOFI or 'thin outside, fat inside' is attributed to individuals who do not look overweight, have less subcutaneous fat but large amounts of visceral fat so higher risk for type 2 diabetes).

At $1200 a month, how are people affording it and don’t you have to then take forever? Is it that easy to get a prescription? At what weight will doctor write a prescription to use it to lose weight?

Zepbound is like $500 a month if you use the manufacturer direct program. You have an online only provider and you self report your starting weight, so anyone can get it. I was tired of fighting 20-25 lbs I gained in peri menopause and I needed to fit back into my work wardrobe when I returned to the office recently.
I get the Zep vials now and I split each vial into two weeks v one so it ends up being less than $500

There is already a thread on this. I always add to it when I see an obvious use plus dumb excuse. Plus isn't it Brosnan's wife? He looks the same
