It must be more widely distributed than I realize.

You are definitely not going to get a Rx for it with 10-15lbs to lose.

So many obese people are on it. Not so many slightly chubby people.

Not true at all. I have several friends on it to lose their baby weight. There are lots of telehealth doctors who will write the scripts for anyone who wants to pay OOP for the meds.

I am on Mounjaro because I am obese and have type II diabetes. My doctor fought with my insurance to get it covered. I kept it secret for a while before disclosing it to my close girlfriends and was floored with 2 of them told me they were on meds, too. They are both skinny with only ~20 lbs of baby weight or covid weight gain to lose. Both pay out of pocket each month.

I am the poster who said it's cheating. People who want these medicines to lose weight and for no other reason are cheating by using it. If you have diabetes then OK, but just as a form to lose weight (like most celebrities who have lost unhealthy amounts recently), are cheating.

Cheating what? There isn’t any competition here.

Perhaps you are worried that your already effectively invisible middle aged self is going to become even more invisible? Sounds like a you problem.

Seriously what do the “cheating” people think is the issue? I’m honestly asking them to elaborate.

You repeating that won't make it any more true. They are aids just like weights when you're lifting weights or a bike when you want to bike for exercise. You are oddly obsessed with this concept that people who are trying to get healthy are cheating. Are you on the spectrum?

So are you saying that ppl without underlying medical conditions taking these drugs to lose 5-10 lbs to be as skinny as some celebrities are “trying to get healthy”?

1) that's not what you said. You said that anyone who isn't taking it strictly for diabetes is cheating. Even the FDA is telling you that you're an idiot.

2) I couldn't care less who takes it. If they can afford it and they can find it I couldn't care less. It's not my body so I don't concern myself with what they do.

3) The fact that people with virtually endless resources couldn't lose weight before these drugs should be all you need to know about how effective and necessary they are.

If my children needed to lose weight like I did, I would 100% be ok with them taking Ozempic. It would be under medical supervision and assuming they are approved by FDA for children.

By your own logic, and once they hit 18, it’s their body and you wouldn’t care what they do with it including using the drugs even if they don’t need to lose weight.

Who in the world is using this drug except to lose weight or for diabetes? you are really struggling with your arguments here. So, again, if they wanted it I'm totally fine with them using it.

If ppl are able to get their hands on it through black markets, without a prescription, or a fraudulent one, or one obtained through fraud (eg lying about their conditions), then it’s a “street” drug. Don’t be naive.

So then a 100 other drugs with legitimate uses are street drugs? What do you propose? We not use them?

I don't care what people do with their bodies. it's not my concern. Shouldn't be yours either.

But again, who is taking these that doesn't need to lose weight? What would be the draw? Are they getting high off Ozempic? You are ridiculous.

People with eating and body disorders. The youth and adults who don’t need to lose weight are taking them.

2) I couldn't care less who takes it. If they can afford it and they can find it I couldn't care less. It's not my body so I don't concern myself with what they do.

3) The fact that people with virtually endless resources couldn't lose weight before these drugs should be all you need to know about how effective and necessary they are.

So if your kids wanted the drugs, you’re ok with ensuring they can get it?

If my children needed to lose weight like I did, I would 100% be ok with them taking Ozempic. It would be under medical supervision and assuming they are approved by FDA for children.

By your own logic, and once they hit 18, it’s their body and you wouldn’t care what they do with it including using the drugs even if they don’t need to lose weight.

Who in the world is using this drug except to lose weight or for diabetes? you are really struggling with your arguments here. So, again, if they wanted it I'm totally fine with them using it.

So you’re ok with someone who doesn’t need to lose weight using it to lose more weight?

I don't care what people do with their bodies. it's not my concern. Shouldn't be yours either.

But again, who is taking these that doesn't need to lose weight? What would be the draw? Are they getting high off Ozempic? You are ridiculous.

People with eating and body disorders. The youth and adults who don’t need to lose weight are taking them.

So no one should be using them because a small percentage of people will find a way to abuse them? What is even your point?

People have to take responsibility for themselves. The benefits of this drug far outweigh the risks.

It must be more widely distributed than I realize.

You are definitely not going to get a Rx for it with 10-15lbs to lose.

So many obese people are on it. Not so many slightly chubby people.

Not true at all. I have several friends on it to lose their baby weight. There are lots of telehealth doctors who will write the scripts for anyone who wants to pay OOP for the meds.

I am on Mounjaro because I am obese and have type II diabetes. My doctor fought with my insurance to get it covered. I kept it secret for a while before disclosing it to my close girlfriends and was floored with 2 of them told me they were on meds, too. They are both skinny with only ~20 lbs of baby weight or covid weight gain to lose. Both pay out of pocket each month.

I am the poster who said it's cheating. People who want these medicines to lose weight and for no other reason are cheating by using it. If you have diabetes then OK, but just as a form to lose weight (like most celebrities who have lost unhealthy amounts recently), are cheating.

You sound like a five year old who doesn’t know what words mean. It’s not a game or a competition. One cannot cheat at pursuing health.

You are a troll. You repeatedly focus on the use of “cheat” as if you’re triggered or trying to instigate/derail legitimate discussion and points. It’s not hard to distinguish between someone using it because they need it (eg have diabetes) and someone who’s using it to lose “baby fat” as in PP’s example of her friends who are paying out of pocket for it just to lose a little bit of weight. The latter is not pursuing health.

What? PP stated anyone who is using it to lose weight is cheating: “People who want these medicines to lose weight and for no other reason are cheating by using it. If you have diabetes then OK, but just as a form to lose weight (like most celebrities who have lost unhealthy amounts recently), are cheating.”

I do not have diabetes. I am only using it to lose weight in the pursuit of health. I am not cheating anything or anyone and it is ludicrous to say so.

There are those who abusing prescription drugs to become as thin as possible unnecessarily. Again, it makes no sense to call it cheating. It’s drug abuse the same way taking pain medication unnecessarily is drug abuse.
