Are there others out there trying to lose weight who don't really want to use meds and want to do it "on their own?" Can we have a little support group here for those of us who need some encouragement and want to learn about others' experiences ... without someone chiming in to promote GLP use or to dissuade others from trying to do it without meds? I'm really tired of every chain promoting GLPs. Yeah, it's harder; but what's wrong with doing it "naturally?"

I'm a 57 y/o female, 5'6" weighing a fluctuating 186-190#; pre-diabetes and lifelong high cholesterol; shoulder issues on one side and wrist issues on other side preclude a lot of the recommended physical exercises (like weightlifting). I initially lost 22# through lifestyle changes and regular walking. I've been stalled for a long time, gaining up to 5# at times - hence the fluctuating weight noted above.

Anyone else? Suggestions or advice or just your own story for encouragement/support? Anti-drug folks, how can we do this?!!! [/quote]
Yeah you can do it without meds, just gotta tighten the basics a bit, stalls like that are usually intake creeping up or activity dropping, nothing dramatic, track honestly for 1 to 2 weeks and you’ll see it, aim for a small calorie deficit not extreme, protein around 80 to 100g helps with hunger, keep the walking but add low impact stuff like incline walking or light resistance bands so you don’t flare the shoulder and wrist, and honestly 5 lb swings are normal water, don’t let that mess with your head, consistency beats “perfect” every time

Thank you. Appreciate your encouragement and support, and your suggestions.[/quote]
