[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm jealous. I just wanna lose 10-15 pounds. 
It must be more widely distributed than I realize. [/quote]

You are  definitely not going to get a Rx for it with 10-15lbs to lose.

So many obese people are on it. Not so many slightly chubby people. [/quote]

Not true at all. I have several friends on it to lose their baby weight. There are lots of telehealth doctors who will write the scripts for anyone who wants to pay OOP for the meds.

I am on Mounjaro because I am obese and have type II diabetes. My doctor fought with my insurance to get it covered. I kept it secret for a while before disclosing it to my close girlfriends and was floored with 2 of them told me they were on meds, too. They are both skinny with only ~20 lbs of baby weight or covid weight gain to lose. Both pay out of pocket each month.  [/quote]

I am the poster who said it's cheating.  People who want these medicines to lose weight and for no other reason are cheating by using it.  If you have diabetes then OK, but just as a form to lose weight (like most celebrities who have lost unhealthy amounts recently), are cheating.  [/quote]

You repeating that won't make it any more true. They are aids just like weights when you're lifting weights or a bike when you want to bike for exercise. You are oddly obsessed with this concept that people who are trying to get healthy are cheating. Are you on the spectrum? [/quote]

So are you saying that ppl without underlying medical conditions taking these drugs to lose 5-10 lbs to be as skinny as some celebrities are “trying to get healthy”?[/quote]

1) that's not what you said. You said that anyone who isn't taking it strictly for diabetes is cheating. Even the FDA is telling you that you're an idiot.

2) I couldn't care less who takes it. If they can afford it and they can find it I couldn't care less. It's not my body so I don't concern myself with what they do.

3) The fact that people with virtually endless resources couldn't lose weight before these drugs should be all you need to know about how effective and necessary they are. [/quote]

So if your kids wanted the drugs, you’re ok with ensuring they can get it?[/quote]

If my children needed to lose weight like I did, I would 100% be ok with them taking Ozempic. It would be under medical supervision and assuming they are approved by FDA for children. [/quote]
