[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you insane? It’s a DRUG. You should not be willing to inject a drug with side effects just to get rid of 7-10 lbs which is such a doable number with small changes. [/quote]
Not OP but this attitude kind of pisses me off. I’m similar and mid-40s. Please stop the “doable with small changes” while giving all the sympathy to those who are obese.  Nope. Working my ass off to stay 10-15 lbs over and the weight doesn’t budge once you are peri or menopausal. [/quote]

Excuses. Eat less, no carbs, no sugar, move more. Works if you’re 20 or 70.[/quote]

um, new poster.  Have you been perimenopausal or menopausal?  Every year I eat less and yet gain weight.  It's a wild battle. 
Right now I'm eating 1200 calories per day (age 50) and gaining weight month-over-month.  
I track the calories.  I barely eat.  I still gain.

Some women don't have this problem as they age--they have the build where they get thin and almost scrawny at over 50.  
Others of us are fighting this battle daily.  I was never a super thin build--a size 6/8 at 5'6", sturdy, athletic build. 
Perimenopause has not been kind to me.  
I recently had a GI illness and had a minimal calorie intake for about a week (not by choice).  Didn't lose a pound.  Started eating again (1200 calories a day) and immediately started gaining.  It's something and it's incredible how different my metabolism was even a year or two ago.

Sounds like you have insulin resistance. [/quote]
