[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm about 155, size 10.  Age 50.  I barely eat and yet my crappy menopausal metabolism has kept me at this size for about 4 years. 
I have a few rolls, I look pretty dumpy.  I have tried all sorts of diets--intermittent fasting, keto, on and on.  My baseline intake is like 1200 calories---I can literally look at food and gain weight these days (stupid perimenopause).

The thing is, I don't qualify for Ozempic or Mounjaro, etc.  If I was 20 pounds heavier I would.  I'm part of an online weight loss group and countless women my age and 20 pounds heavier to start (maybe a size 12, 14) are reaching 130, 140---size 4 or 6.  They just happened to have 20ish more pounds on them to begin with.

It's just... frustrating.    [/quote]

Seriously? I’m 55 and have been on Ozempic for a year. My A1C was prediabetic, and I had gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy. I tried and tried to get the weight off, and it wouldn’t budge.

I started at 185 and am now 155 (5’8”) I’m happy as a clam at this weight. I’m fine if I don’t lose another pound. [/quote]
