[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just eat less and exercise more? It's free and easy to do.[/quote]

LOL it does not work.

I am 4'10" eating less does not move the needle.

I have been to my primary, gyn, endocrinologist and they all said same thing GLP[/quote]

Here's the thing.. will you be on the GLP for life? If not you will just gain it all back when your appetite returns. If you are not capable of eating less to lose weight you will not be capable of eating less to keep the weight off.

Now I am not at all against GLP1s I think they are amazing and I felt great on it, but the reality is, it is nearly impossible to keep the weight off when you go off. Yes, there are some who do, but they are the exception, not the norm and are probably the ones who could have lost the weight without medication. [/quote]

What do you see as the problem with people being on this medication for life? Both of my parents have taken blood pressure medication and statins since their 40s and and are now close to 80. Is that problematic. to you too? Or is it only that you don't think weight loss is as worthy of a medical issue? [/quote]

I have no issue with people being on the medication for life. But anyone going on the medication should ask themselves if THEY are realistically wiling to be on it for life even if that means paying out of pocket at the rate of $300/month.

[b]I don't think most people go into it thinking of this. [/b]I think many want to believe that losing the weight is the hard part and once they get to their goal weight they will be able to maintain it without the medication and this is simply not true and backed by science. [/quote]

This is such a patronizing statement.  You are telling me that I may have to spend my hard earned money to cut my cancer risk dramatically, make me healthier and feel good about myself?  Yes it is worth it.  And I save at least $300/mo in food and wine which I don't consume any longer.  [/quote]

How is this patronizing? Most people are not on this medication for the health benefits. The majority are on it the sake of vanity. I am not at all against that. I also fully believe most people don't really plan or expect to be on it for life. [/quote]
