[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been on Ozempic for two years. Down 60 pounds, feel great, but if anyone asks (usually somewhat smugly) I feign ignorance and tell them it was diet and exercise. I know I shouldn’t lie but it’s just too fun to watch them seethe when they can’t tell me that I took the easy way out. [/quote]

Why do you feel the need to lie? You could just say nothing[/quote]

DP but IMO it's OK to lie when people are asking a very rude question, like if you're on medication. That's very private. [/quote]

+1. Why does it matter how someone lost weight?  They made a plan and committed to it.  The plan they made is none of your business. [/quote]

If you don’t want to answer, then don’t.  Why lie? Are you embarrassed you took meds? Does it make you feel better to have people think you did it out of your own good decision making and will power?[/quote]

As I said, because it’s fun  :D [/quote]

Fun? Sounds like you are defensive and embarrassed and will feel judged.  But yeah…call it fun.  While yes, no one should ask “how’d you do it” if they did, it is likely because they want to congratulate and encourage you for all the hard work it takes to lose weight.  But you know that…which is probably why you lie. [/quote]

DP. Why are YOU so invested in them lying? No owes anyone the truth or a lie about how they lost weight. They could make up any kind of story. What difference does it make? I mean really?

I lost weight on semaglutide, and I use that name because I was on it before it was called Wegovy or Ozempic because I was in study. I lost over 100lbs. I’ve been off the medication for three years and stay within +/-3lbs of my goal weight. Most of my co-workers and friends don’t assume I lost it on those meds because I lost the weight before it became a craze. When people see me that haven’t seen me in a while and ask me, I just say I changed my eating and hit the gym. Which I did. [/quote]
