[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTF?

You are 5'6", 44, and weigh 118 and want to use obesity meds to get down to 108?

Are you anorexic or trolling? [/quote]

DP. Thanks for proving once again that this is the meanest board on DCUM.

OP, I for one will be interested in hearing what happens. Please come update. I started GLP-1 3 months ago at 5'7 and 145 lbs. Now down to 129 lbs, and it happened without much effort at all. I've dieted successfully before, but it's such a slog. Physically painful for me, as I abhor hunger. With all the pressures in my life - three young kids, a busy career, a house to take care of - I just couldn't muster the willpower to lose the weight I wanted to lose. I am so grateful for the meds. I feel better than I have in years. Even though your current and goal weights sound low to me, only you know your body and what feels good on you.

I still feel a sense of shame that I resorted to taking a med to lose the weight I wanted to lose, so I get you not wanting to take the leap. But now that I have done it, I truly wish I would have started a long time ago. I feel such a sense of freedom around eating and food now, and I also feel so much prettier and happier at this lower weight. I am wearing a beautiful size 4 spring dress today that I've had hanging in my closet for the better part of decade that fit me like sausage casing just a few months ago...now it's perfect.

Good luck![/quote]

Thanks PP ! Op here. You shouldn’t feel any shame! And thanks for sharing your experience. I also have a few of my previous clothes still waiting for me in my closet. I loved that feeling of being free to where what I want and feeling truly comfortable in my body. What I would love as an update from you is what will be your strategy for maintenance. Does it help change habits ? Or do you think you will stay on it?

To be transparent I am hoping to prove to myself (and share my experience with others who I know are asking themselves the same question) that I dont need glp 1 and the middle age weight gain is not impossible to fight even if it is for a few vanity pounds. But we will see. I really don’t know.

I also really hesitated in giving my real stats because they always trigger the same reaction on this thread. People refuse to believe that not everyone carry weight the same way and that if you don’t easily build muscle and carry all your weight in your belly you can be genuinely interested in losing weight without being anorexic.but I wanted to start an honest post and give an honest review in a month so… real triggering stats it is..[/quote]
