I can’t control my weight without a GLP?

I'm 5'1" and i think this is depressingly true. I lost 15 lbs about a year and a half ago and have gained 4 back since Christmas. My additions: an apple and a serving of dried apricots each day (constipation issues), adding a cookie or treat in on a not even daily basis. That's enough to go from losing to gaining!

Haha same. Every wellness influencer is recommending 30g of protein and 30g of fiber and I was like - how to fit that into my 900 cal diet?!

Ugh I know. I'm so focused on fiber right now I'm not even trying to hit the protein numbers.

I was a D1 soccer player, national champ, I was running sub 3 marathons in my 30/40s. I do cross-fit, Hyrox, sprints at the field with my college soccer player son.

I lift heavy with my body builder husband.

Everything! Stop being so fkkkkg annoying.

Some people’s metabolism are shot and insulin resistance…. Look at fricking Serena Williams for instance !!!

I eat protein and follow the proper diet, gave up alcohol, spartan lifestyle that is not maintainable.

Wow. A bit over the top response but ok.

If you are not throwing up during your soccer sessions or blackout during HIIT where you literally need the app/clock to tell you what’s next you are not killing mitochondria that actually need to be be replaced.

What championships you won in college or what you did in your 30s is irrelevant.

Also, Serena Williams is 5’9” and competed at 150+.

She was never a small woman. A runway model is 5’10” and 130.


She ballooned to almost 190 after second kid and hit the GLP. She is now under her competitive weight. She claims 31lb but she is over 40lb down.

You can always try some real serious trainer….barwiss methods or whatever- that dude gets paralyzed people to walk so I am sure a pro could figure out your situation.

It is insane to tell people they need to be working out so hard they are throwing up and passing out before they turn to medication. That is not a way most people want to live.

Not disagreeing- just reality if you want the body of a 30 year old at 50. Twice the pain for same gain you had 20 years ago.

Not for the faint of heart.

To have the body of a 30 or 35 year old at over 50 is pretty much a near death experience every workout.

I do it, and accept that I will either live longer, look great or die in next 30 minutes.

NO GLP builds muscle or improves upon actual exercise.

I intentionally did not include 20’s - male or female not possible to reach as you age.
Humans are genetically designed to peak at that age and no exercise or surgery can recreate that currently.

Best we can do is 30’s and up.

And if you work full-time and still have a kid at home…good luck finding the time to workout 4 hours a day. I get 2 hours of hard @ss exercise and barely eat and once I turned 55 and hit menopause….it was a game changer…I eat less, gave up alcohol and workout even harder/longer and will never lose those additional 5 lbs- maybe for 1 day and then eat a grape and they are back on.

It’s no way to live.

This. 5'4" and 142 is a perfectly fine weight, OP.

Americans will all agree. Eat less.

It’s almost as if 55 year old women were never intended to have the same body composition as they did 25 years before. Crazy.

Every person I know who died young, died exercising.

It’s the Lexapro. Sets a new floor for weight. Unfortunately, because it’s awesome for lowering anxiety and short-circuiting rumination!
