Okay but look at from another perspective. At $1K a month for Zepbound you're essentially exchanging out expensive, bad for you food habits like fast food, Door Dash, eating out, Starbucks lattes, and booze which easily add up to $1K a month if not more. Adding to that most people using it for weight loss will be on it for a relatively short period of time as compared to a life saving drug that someone may need to be on for their entire lives.  So all in all you may spend $6K-$8K on the meds while saving a ton on foods you would ordinarily be buying - and if you take the time to learn good food habits while you're on the drug then you can successfully get off the drug and stay off, or cycle off and on. That part is up to you since you're in control of what you choose to eat. [/quote]

Wow, you are so uninformed. It's laughable at this point. Really![/quote]

Laughable at "which point" exactly? I find it humorous that you find it "laughable". It's common sense which you clearly lack a great deal of.  [/quote]

First laughable part "bad for you food habits like fast food, Door Dash, eating out, Starbucks lattes, and booze which easily add up to $1K a month if not more."

Second laughable part "Adding to that most people using it for weight loss will be on it for a relatively short period of time as compared to a life saving drug that someone may need to be on for their entire lives."

Third laughable part "That part is up to you since you're in control of what you choose to eat."

None of it is true. As others have pointed out I have never spent $1000 a month on food for myself. EVER. You need to be on this drug for a lot more than 6 months (you think people can lose 100-200 lbs in six months). Do you think they can keep it off without a maintenance dose?

You think that fat people are just junk eaters and that if they'd only stop door dash all would be swell. And that's why I laughed at you.

Also, please learn about how these drugs work before spewing nonsense. If you are on this board at all, there were so many threads that it's astonishing you didn't learn a damn thing. [/quote]

DP. Definitely have to be on this drug longer than 6 months if you have a significant amount of weight to lose. Unless you weight about 300lbs to start off, it takes about 4-6 weeks for it even to start working. Average weight loss is about 2lbs a week. Morbid obese might lose a faster at about 5lbs a week.[/quote]

Agree.

I’m on compounded mounjaro. Week 7.
Have only lost 5 pounds. Have 30 more to go.[/quote]
