[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a pretty inane thread but I don't think the curiosity about this is automatically jealousy. I think a lot of us are trying to get a sense of what is reasonable or realist in terms of weight or weight loss at different ages or with different body types, both on semiglutide and not on it. It's not just people trying to be nasty or critical. Like I'm genuinely interested in women who are taking it in menopause and at what starting weights and with what results, because that's my situation. I'm not shaming anyone, just looking for info.[/quote]

Plenty of people talking about this on the health thread, and one’s doctor is a really good source of information about medical issues, in my experience.  I don’t think this thread was started out of benign curiosity regarding health care information.  [b]It stems from wanting to shame people who have sought help with weight loss, as a logical outgrowth of general fat shaming[/b].[/quote]

DP and there is a lot of that in semaglutide discussions, obviously.  But I think it's kind of silly to dismiss every discussion as fat shaming.  Especially with celebrities, there's a "don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining" reaction - when everybody on screen loses 4 BMI points in 8 months the very year that Ozempic hits the shelves, the denials are obnoxious.

I am on Wegovy.  It's magical and wonderful and life changing.  I don't necessarily want to tell anyone that I'm getting "help" with my weight loss but I still look askance at my sister, who is on Mounjaro, posting to Facebook that she's found the miracle way to lose weight and it's some electric shock workout BS, all to throw people off the scent.  Most people don't like being lied to, and even less when the lie assumes they're complete simpletons who will believe anything.[/quote]

Were you overweight before Wegovy? Or thin but just not at your ideal weight?[/quote]

Obese in spite of being very active (multiple triathlons active).  When I say that it's life changing I mean it.  So I do have a bit of judgment around people taking it to lose 10 lbs but I also recognize that for celebrities 10 lbs can be the difference between getting a job and not.  We all make our choices.[/quote]
But, would you be ok with people judging you for getting obese? In spite of being very active does not excuse letting yourself go that much. If you judge people who take it to lose 10 lbs, would it not be ok then to judge you for getting obese? What is that saying? Two wrongs don't make a right?[/quote]
