Yup.  This trend of salivating for drugs instead of just doing what you’re supposed to be doing is bonkers.[/quote]

NP. Americans are lazy. They consume high amount of carbs, sugar and calories. They have high cholesterol, pre diabetes or diabetes, but at the same time want to stay thin. Lol [/quote]

That "lol" at the end really conveyed your point  :roll:  :roll:

Presumably you are thin, healthy and smart, so why are you on this thread? Oh I know, because you're just nasty and jealous.[/quote]

Jealous of what? OP coveting a drug to change their biochemistry to promote weight loss instead of acting like a normal human was designed, which avoids the weight gain in the first place? Or jealous of the other people in this thread that think innovation should be free. I’m sure all those posters also work for free. [/quote]

Again, why are you here? Just to gloat about how perfect you are. We get it. You are sooooooooo much better than us fatties looking for a drug to fix us. Does that make you feel better? [/quote]

Its a discussion forum. You know, for discussion.

The suggestion anyone is jealous of any of this is constant, yet exceptionally dumb. Similarly, the entire post's concept reeks of entitlement. Why exactly would a novel pharaceutical that is being now being used beyond its original indication to treat a self-inflicted disease be ready available "for the rest of us" at effectively no cost? How does that make any amount of sense? Do you work for free? The answer is you don't. And, that attitude of entitlement probably landed you in whatever predicament you are in with regard to your weight and lack of self control anyways.[/quote]

Presumably, people discuss things that affect them or they have experience in. By your own admission this has ZERO bearing on your life, so why are you here if not to shit on people doing their best to lose the weight? Because you are a shit person, an anonymous keyboard warrior sticking it to us fatties on the internet trying to make yourself feel better.

Everything else you said is pure shit and you should read on about these drugs if you wish to "discuss." [/quote]

This affects all of us. The OP is an entitled brat. Here is the post for your failed memory:

I have 25 pounds to lose. I do workout regularly but am menopausal and am really having a difficult time with diet. Insurance won’t cover weight loss drugs for me. My BMI is close to normal.

How long until the free shit army demands these drugs along with a bunch of other handouts? How much more are these people going to foist on to others to clean up their mess?

This thread of full of people demanding other humans give away their work for free. That’s effectively the premise of the entire thread. Isn’t it enough that people are way out of energy consumption balance and already sucking up extra resources? Now we need to ensure wide availability of novel pharmaceuticals to clean up a mess of their own making? It’s like idiocracy and we are talking about brawndo [/quote]

Make that your last glass of wine tonight[/quote]

Sorry, I don’t drink. This is a typical reply on here when the responder doesn’t have anything rational to say. I wrote the above after swimming 3500 yards which followed an hour running. What did you do productive today besides try and free ride on others? [/quote]

NP.  60 minutes of strength training Monday and 60 minutes of a strength training/pilates (focus on small muscles) combo Weds, both with a personal trainer who really pushes me. 60 minutes of moderate intensity cardio Tuesday. Thursday and/or Friday are yoga classes (one 60 min and one 75 min). I always make one. And 2-3 times a month I can make both (fingers crossed for this week, the yoga feels great after a week of sitting for work and is also great for stress release). And, I’ll get at least one good cardio session in this weekend.

1200 calories a day/120 G protein/100 oz of water, as a goal. The calories are closer to 1000 the couple days after my shot.  And 1400 the day before my shot.

I was also on Wegovy and am now on Zepbound, which the health insurance I pay a fortune for covers.  Just hit 75 pounds of weight loss this week (302 to 225). 10.5 months in. Off two BP meds, an anti depressant and pain meds for arthritis.  A1c went from pre diabetic to 5.1. Cholesterol is finally normalizing. I do still have work to do on losing more visceral fat.  And I still have a lot more weight to lose to hit a “normal” BMI (which for me is 150). But no specific goal. I’m not trying for a 20 BMI.  I’m waiting to see where my body settles/ stops losing, where I’m no longer losing fat and starting to lose muscle and where I feel I can maintain this long term— probably on a maintenance dose of meds.  For now, I need joint replacement surgery this year, and I have about 10 more pounds to go before I qualify for the less invasive/ easier recovery/ fewer complications surgical method. Once I hit 215, and qualify, I’ll take it month by month.

I see a bariatric MD or PA and a dietician every 2-4 weeks, depending on whether I am changing medication doses. And they do a body scan each time. Down more than 65 pounds of fat, and less than 10 of muscle.

I could not have done this without the meds (I tried. Over and over). And IRL, I’m very open about using them. It’s a tool to get healthy and I’ve still put in a lot of hard work. And, I am so much healthier by every single metric than I was a year ago.  I don’t see anything to be ashamed of in that.  Haters  can hate and judge away— but people who do were never my friends to begin with. . I’m in a great place— physically and psychologically.  The people who matter are happy for me. [/quote]

Go you, PP! You should feel proud and excited! [/quote]
