[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is surprising how angry people get about weight loss drugs. They think it’s cheating and why don’t we just reduce calories and go for a run like they do? My doctor told me that people in their fifties can lose 10-15 pounds that way, but it’s much rarer for people to lose 30-40 pounds that way… which is what I’d like to do. I’m only 10-12 pounds overweight, but for most of my adult life I was 30 pounds lighter. I am like the PP who said I know how to keep it off once it’s off! So I am treating the (idea of) the meds as a jumpstart. With covid and menopause and laziness, I am 30-40 pounds heavier than I would like. I am interested in these drugs to help me get back there.

You need to research how these drugs work. They change your appetite hormones - you will not necessarily “know how to keep it off” after you stop them because you may feel much hungrier and your metabolism may have completely changed. Not to mention the increased risk of osteoporosis and loss of muscle. For women in their 50s+, a BMI of 26 is actually the healthiest. No competent doctor would recommend d that a slightly overweight woman in her 50s-60s take Wegovy. [/quote]

I think my PCP is competent. Graduated from good universities and is an intelligent seeming person. Not in the pocket of Big Pharma. She’s offering them to me. Why wouldn’t I, if I go in eyes open about potential side effects?[/quote]
