[quote=Anonymous]I am obese, but not pre diabetic. I have low blood pressure and normal cholesterol. I am also a heavy weight lifter. I’m just fat.  5’5, 212lbs, misses size 14 (not plus size).

I am not taking the drug for the following reasons:

I have made huge gains in muscle mass and have more than enough muscle mass in each muscle group to support my weight.

I have been through a receding hairline and hair loss due to anti seizure medication prescribed for migraines. I wore wigs for over a year. My hair is back to normal and looking fuller. I don’t want to lose any more hair.

I already have issues with chronic constipation. I control it with miralax and Metamucil. I don’t want to deal with bowel problems.

My doctor told me I wasn’t a candidate. I have lost 50+ pounds at least 3x in my life (I’m 55). My doctor has asked me to stop yo-yo dieting. She said if I couldn’t control the regain in the past, that any weight lost while on GLPs would come right back as soon as I stopped taking the medication.

And finally, anecdotally, I know three women who are on or have been on the drugs. Two of them look at least 10 - 15 years older and the other gained all of the weight back when she went off the drug.
