[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 40 pounds overweight and am trying to lose it the old fashioned way, diet and exercise. I’d consider the meds (I think they are wonderful to combat obesity) but have IBS and don’t want to risk triggering it.

I agree with others that it seems nuts to risk your health going on the meds (not to mention the $$) just to lose 10-15 pounds. That is doable if you track intake. Those of you saying that you’ve tried for years and can’t, or that you already eat healthy, I suspect you don’t realize how much you are actually intaking. To lose weight esp if post menopausal, you really need to focus on high value foods (lower calorie, higher protein) and keep your overall intake lower than you think. WW is good for setting those realizations. [/quote]
If it’s as doable as you say, why are you 40 lbs overweight? 
- someone who has tried tracking and taking GLP-1 for 20 lbs. I can only get it off if I become completely obsessed with counting calories and working out and it’s not sustainable. [/quote]

Because I wasn’t tracking! As soon as I started, it was obvious to me how much more I was intaking than what I need to be to lose weight.

Look, it sucks to be post menopausal and not be able to eat the amounts I used to. I’d go on the meds if I could to lose 40 lbs. But for 10 pounds I’d focus on strictly changing my
habits and take a nice trip with the $6000/year I’m saving not buying the meds, and [b]more importantly would feel better about my long term health[/b]. [/quote]
I’m sure that sounds nice in your head. What about people who tried to lose the last ten pounds through changing habits? Thats not OK because they didn’t let it get bad enough to need to lose 40 lbs? Your post is incredibly hypocritical and judgmental. [/quote]
