[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What, pray tell, is “marginally pre-diabetic?”

If you want to lose 50, eat less and move more and cut down on carbs. That will do a lot to help your glucose too. You don’t need  Ozempic.[/quote]

my A1c is outside the normal range, but only a little.

yes, I do need Ozempic. I have been on a diet for the past 40 years.[/quote]

Stop doing diets. Eat a little less (of everything), and move more. Move every single day.

I’m so sick of posts like this. The implication is that is just really easy, and if you struggle and don’t actually lose weight, it’s a moral failing on your part. If you’ve ready anything about this drug, you’d know that it’s being looked at as a way to treat addiction. Open up your mind to the possibility that some people are just wired differently. They process food and experience hunger differently than you. [/quote]

It *is* easy. Write down everything you eat, keep your calories under about 1,800 and your carbs under 125 a day. Increase your fiber and water consumption. Walk at least four miles four times a week. The weight will come off. Fast. [/quote]

It's not "easy" but it is that simple.  For OP to say it's impossible for her to lose weight after 40 years without a medication is BS.  She isn't motivated and disciplined enough.  I cannot believe that she's never even lost 10 pounds in the past 40 years.  It's hard to have a mental overload of what we're accustomed with, but there are plenty of other channels (weight watchers, weight loss centers, MyFitnessPal etc) that don't involve medicine.  When insurance covers unnecessary medications, YOU AND I are the one helping pay for it, it's not like CEO Jim is paying for it.  [/quote]
