[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was discussing this with friends this weekend.

3 of us are on GLP-1, I'm considered "thin" and "healthy looking" ... I look like Illona if you need a picture.

All 3 of us are "losing vanity weight" but when we reach our goal weight we will still be "overweight" on the BMI chart.

The 4th person wants to lose 8 lbs. I personally don't think it will work. I'm 25lbs overweight trying to lose 20 and it doesn't just fall off, once you get close to "healthy" weight the body doesn't dump the weight like when you are obese.

IDK maybe it does for others. [/quote]

If your goal weights are still over 25 BMI after losing 20 lbs that isn't vanity weight, you need to lose it for your health. Ilona is a professional athlete so isn't a good comparison. And no one would say she is thin, although she is certainly healthy looking.

You are probably about where I was when I started GLP-1, and have lost 35-40 lbs and down to 22.5 BMI. When I look at my pictures from a couple of years ago I was really overweight but I didn't feel it or even see it at the time. Now I look normal, but not thin. And I sleep better, have less inflammation and joint pain, and Ai-c is back to healthy range. [/quote]
