[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a PP, one who some readers said sounded like a Calibrate rep because I was so hopeful and enthusiastic upthread. Here's a little update:

Started with Calibrate in November, 5'3" and 209. Today am 176. I can see myself getting to 150#, we'll see where I end up. I have no goal in mind.

Started on Ozempic, was switched to Wegovy in Feb. Currently at 2.4 mg. Some injections I feel more tired than usual, or have a heightened sense of smell that makes me gag/dry heave on occasion, but I'd say that that's less than 10% of the time.

While I am so so SO happy at the weight loss, what has been transformational and liberating was finally stopping blaming myself for being fat. I would yo-yo diet, ended up binge eating due to restrictions, and spent the last 25 years beating myself up for not having willpower, control, etc. Meanwhile, one injection and it was like a switch was flipped in my brain -- those crazy, insatiable, and uncontrollable signals to eat, eat, EAT disappeared. Thankfully, the injections have also helped me stop my one-bottle-of-wine-a-night drinking that started during the darkest COVID days in the summer of 2020.

Don't know if that was food addiction or what, but this medication has taken a huge monkey off my back. For that, I could not be more grateful. Which is why I would enthusiastically endorse this for others struggling with the same problem. Life is too short to beat yourself up like that, and be obsessed with food, counting calories, worrying about whether there will be something you can eat at this party or that work event or during vacation...[/quote]

Did you just go to your regular doctor for it?[/quote]
