[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It's fine if a GLP1 helped you lose weight. But it is the easy way. If it bothers you to hear that, then that's on you.[/b] We all need help sometimes, but there's also nothing wrong with admitting you needed assistance. If you're going to enjoy someone commenting on your weightloss or how thin you look, then you also need to accept that people are going to wonder how you did it. These 2 things go together. If you feel shame about how you lost the weight, then that's your issue to reconcile.

Lol, I'm on it and it doesn't "bother" me to hear that, it just sounds ridiculous.

No one would call what I've been through -- for over a year now -- on Wegovy "the easy way." The side effects can be hellish. But the long term effects of obesity are as well. [/quote]

It's the easy way compared to consistent diet and exercise.  Again, if you need some help... great. But the reason why people are taking these meds in the first place is because making the right dietary and exercise choices to lose weight (and keep it off) is incredibly challenging to stick with.

A size 12 to a 4???  Come on- that is just a lack of discipline. That’s not even who the drugs were designed for. Uneeded costly pharmaceuticals, yeah, I’m against.  But- for the truly obese and diabetics sure- not the Real Housewives.

The women that are in their 50s and did it in my neighborhood aged 15 years in a few months time.  That brittle boned old lady look. A few look like they are wearing an 8-year old boy’s jeans.[/quote]

Oh - and I say this as a 55-year old perimenopausal woman that gained 10 pounds overnight — but slapped on the weighted vest, added protein cut out garbage food - and lost it in 3 months. Was it easy? No. I still did my regular workout and walked at night. I cut out the wine. I stopped sighting snacking even when the food noise was loud as hell.  I felt so much better each passing day.

So you had a diet of garbage food and snacking on sight and over-poured the wine. And by cutting out those bad habits, adding protein, and keeping up your exercise you were are to lose 10 pounds in 3 months. Good for you and I mean that genuinely. Good for you. But please don't draw the conclusion that some of us who already exercise, zero alcohol, 100% healthy eating, calorie deficit, and cannot lose weight, are lazy vanity users. Come on, it's not just a lack of discipline for everyone. [/quote]

I am on the same boat, just eating too much healthy yummies. It’s ok. The drug is a tool as much as gym is a tool.

For example yesterday I ate 1100 cal and took a 90 min workout plus 12000 steps. If I keep up I will gain another 5 lbs by next month sigh.[/quote]
