[quote=Anonymous]I'm on one now - and have been for some time - but I felt the same as you.

I was your classic perimenopausal chubby mom who gained after 40 and could not lose more than a 5lbs, then regained. I finally went for it after many months of eating really well (never ate very poorly to start and I don't drink alcohol) and getting more active: I'd run three 5ks a week, go to the gym, eat so well...and lost almost no weight. I felt so discouraged because the way I looked did not match my lifestyle and level of weight loss effort.

I went to telehealth route because I was technically not overweight enough to qualify through insurance (BMI of 27 and no other issues) and did not want to feel judged by GP. It's been life changing: BMI is now 23, I am just as active and eat well but it actually also shows physically. And most of all: I don't obsess about what I can and cannot eat, ever feel guilty about food, and I do not think about my weight anymore. Just the mental weight lifted is worth it.
