Teenagers in your life know who Kelly Osborne is? A B/C list celebrity from 25 years ago?

This ^. Except I would call her D list at best.

She was in the news because Ozzy died recently and the funeral was a big to do. Did you miss that too?

This was almost an entire year ago.

Well, exactly. In the past year several of you inexplicably missed this. It's not like she put the weight on since then.

You find it "inexplicable" that people would miss the fact that Kelly Osbourne, a woman of little-to-no talent who is famous for a reality tv show that featured her parents 20 years ago, attended her father's funeral a year ago?

Ok.

Back away from the TMZ scrolling, lol. Seriously. Good heavens.

Why are you here? You don’t know anything about celebrities. Are you lost on your way somewhere else?

Why are you here? Oh wait ... that's pretty clear.

Oh sorry, do you think you look amazing now that you’re not fat anymore?

Did you ever think you looked amazing? Oh wait ... that also is pretty clear.

Your sagging bat wings give you away. And everyone knows you were full of it before pretending you were fat, fit, and fabulous. The rush to get on the drugs puts that lie to rest.

The ones who were very overweight and older (50+) are now skeletal and saggy. It’s jarring to see someone lose 100+ pounds. I’ve observed others asking “what’s wrong” or if they have cancer, etc.

The ones who were not very overweight and were just a bit pudgy/flabby got skinny and tighter. They look healthy and just don’t eat much anymore.

I’ve observed most obsessing about their weight and complaining how they just can’t eat much anymore. They seem to struggle to eat half a sandwich.

Every time I go to the GYN the practice asks if I want a consult for a GLP1. I’m 5’9” and hover between 175-180. I’m a size 12/14. I gained 30 pounds when perimenopause started. While I’m tempted to take the magic shot, I can’t get past the feeling that it’s damaging to one’s health.

There's been research, study and testing on these drugs going back as far as the '80's. Trials mandated by the FDA to assess cardiovascular risk showed that the drugs actually have a protective effect against cardiovascular disease.

I'm not saying you should consider using a GLP 1 or not, but through science we already know that a healthy BMI reduces disease risk factors and that these drugs have a positive effect on cardiovascular health. Things like muscle loss can be counteracted with weight lifting, which is recommended for women as part of a healthy lifestyle anyway.

These studies haven’t been done in people without diabetes. What I think we will see is a good deal of osteoporosis, malnutrition and possibly some unexpected outcome regarding pancreatic function in those populations. I don’t have faith in a lot of people to have the discipline necessary to eat that much less and make sure their nutritional needs are being properly met. I hope I’m wrong but I’ve lived long enough and seen enough “miracles” be adopted quickly only to see lots of poor, unexpected and often deadly outcomes.

Yeah.. this is my concern too. I generally operate under the assumption that if something is too good to be true, it usually is.

I'm still considered "obese" because I waver between wearing my clothes that are size 14 and size 12. I'm not trying to be smaller.

When younger I used to do everything from dexa trim to Fen Phen to whatever ... not ever going to do that kind of stuff again.

I'd just rather eat less and move more, I only ever fluctuate now around 15 lbs either way

I'm good

If you are still obese, you are not "good."

I'm 55 and have lost 70lbs on a GLP1 over the last couple of years. I could not care less if it is "jarring to see" me, because I'm "saggy." Losing the weight addressed the multiple health issues that my doctor had hoped it would, so I'm good.

It was the opposite of "damaging to [my] health." But YMMV, of course. Oh, and it's not "magic" -- it's medication, medication that comes with real side effects.

It's a lot easier when the drugs kill your cravings and appetite. It's pretty hard to starve yourself on purpose and most people can't do it.

glps are injectable anorexia.

Nope. I've been on one for 3 years, been on a maintenance micro dose for 2 and I have a healthy normal (no food noise) appetite.

Same. On it for 2 years and have a normal appetite.

Why can't you just stop eating so much ?

I feel like my mom popped in from 1981 to post this.

No, I don't think it was your mom. Because I'm pretty sure it was my (mean and ugly) grandma, lol.

Food noise is just hunger. They don’t want to feel it because they want to maintain a BMI so low that their body can’t even sustain it. Only they believe they look good.

Food noise is not the same thing as hunger. At all.

How have you not seen the pictures of Kelly Osborne??? They are everywhere. She looks 30 years older than her age (at least) and absolutely terrible.

This comment made me google it and holy crap. She looks like a Joan Rivers impersonator or something. WTF.

Just did the same. This is appalling. She is a decade younger than I am and looks at least two decades older. Holy too much, Batman.

Because a medication that I need to take if I want to live has completely altered my metabolism. Why can't you just stop being a disgusting horrible person who needs to seek therapy?

They are jealous that there isn't a med to cure their nastiness and general unlikable personality.

I, on the other hand, have a med that helps me to maintain a normal, healthy weight and normal, healthy eating habits. My cholesterol has dropped back down to normal levels (not on meds for that), my BMI is normal (not low), and it reduces my risk for heart attack and stroke.

And then you have an internet troll who thinks they will make me feel bad about it. LOL-I'm thrilled with it.

Yet you can’t admit that people are overdoing it.

So, I did in fact note in a pp, that using it with untreated anorexia is abuse of the med-it's not appropriate in that instance. This doesn't make it a bad or dangerous drug. It makes it a drug that, like many beneficial drugs, can be mis-used and abused. I do not know if Kelly Osbourne has anorexia, but if the does, she should not be on a glp1 (if she indeed is). But anorexia is not caused by a glp1.

How do you know it’s not? She was never anorexic before.

You don't actually know that...I was anorexic off and on in my life and was never below a "healthy" BMI.
