Will they give you semaglutide for 10-15 pounds? Ideally I would like to be 135. That is what I weighed before I had kids. I was 125 when I got married. I doubt that will ever happen again.

This is vanity weight. Are you really willing to inject yourself with a pricey drug that insurance won’t cover, for the rest of your life?

Is it really the rest of your life? I mean probably not. If I bring my daily calories down to 1000-1200 should that do the trick?

It's not worth starving yourself. It's just not worth it, OP.

I gained five pounds when I turned 40 - I spent five years fighting it. Now I just accept - this is my weight now. Bought some new clothes. I'm not the skinny person I was in my 20s and 30s but I'm also not in my 20s and 30s. You will be happier if you stay active, stay healthy, and eat enough to get through the day.

Op - I won’t seek any medication unless it gets worse.

At this point upping my work outs and eating significantly less and will see what happens.

This is how soma from brave new world started. JFC.

“I just discovered a less than 10% increase in my weight. Can I alter my body chemistry for this to just go away? It is too inconvenient to consider what could have lead to this and try to resolve it on my own, or accept the weight gain as no big deal”

Omg. No your doctor is not going to prescribe you a medication for obese people and diabetics so you can lose 8 lbs.

Well, you didn’t go from 145 to 153 overnight. Perhaps start weighing yourself more frequently so you can adjust your food intake and exercise when the gains are still small. But really, this is 8 lbs and it should be realistic for you to lose, if you want to. Cut back on calories. 1200 is too low though. I would maybe try 1500 and give it two weeks, exercise consistently, see what happens.

Op - well I just signed up for a calorie counter. It says I should eat 1250 calories per day to get down to 140 by May. So I will try that.

I think only select doctors would, not a regular GP. I got mine online after an online consult and fudged my weight.

These drugs work by dampening your appetite. As soon as you stop taking them, your appetite will return, and likely the weight will as well. If you’re exercising more, you may have gained muscle mass.

I have alway been able to maintain my weight without dieting. Just exercise moderately (like run 3 times a week and lift weights 2 times a week) and I am good.

For reference I am 5’7” and have consistently weighed 140ish my whole adult life. Have had 3 kids in the past decade and after third kid I have maintained around 145. Not ideal but had baby during Covid and then with 3 kids it’s been hard to lose the weight.

I started weight lifting around a year ago. Nothing super intense - just peloton classes 2 times a week. And I had to stop running but still walk 5-7 miles a day with walking dog and life.

I weighed myself today and I weigh 153! What is going on?!? Other than upping my working out if I just stop eating other than a small lunch and dinner will I be able to drop the weight? I know I snack too much now. I will cut that out.
