I wonder this too now when I see very overweight people who can clearly probably get insurance to cover the cost.

I know a bunch of people on it and they are all open about it. I am grateful because I'm interested in hearing about it.

Me too-- when I see people who are morbidly obese I wonder why their doctor hasn't put them on it, fully covered by insurance. It could be a profound improvement in quality (and quantity) of life.

I used the compounded version and it cost less than a gym membership and worked better. Now my knees don't hurt anymore! Joint pain was one of the things keeping me from exercising more, and the joint pain was exacerbated by the extra weight. I lost 20 pounds effortlessly in six months, I feel better, and my clothes fit better. (The real trigger to start the drug was that I was on the verge of needing to buy all new stuff and I hate shopping). I went off it and have kept the weight off for six months, because now I can exercise, and very importantly, it recalibrated my understanding of hunger and what I need. My urge to snack is way down. I am more easily satiated.

I was extremely lucky in the side effects, too. My bestie had significant nausea and constipation. I had only the mildest of queasiness the day I took it, and then nothing.

I'm an evangelist. I'll tell anyone. If someone accuses me of being lazy or taking the easy way out, I'll ask them if they wash all their clothes by hand in the river.

You are in fact taking the lazy way out. You just don't want to admit it.

Why do you think losing weight should be hard? Serious question.

Sure Larla's cancer is in remission -- but she just had surgery and it worked. She didn't have to have chemo or radiation. She did it the easy way.

Comparing weightloss to cancer?

Are you trying to look like a joke?

We all need help sometimes, but there's also nothing wrong with admitting you needed assistance. If you're going to enjoy someone commenting on your weightloss or how thin you look, then you also need to accept that people are going to wonder how you did it. These 2 things go together. If you feel shame about how you lost the weight, then that's your issue to reconcile.

I find it so rude. Why do you care? Especially because many of these people actually look a lot healthier and more fit now. Especially if you’re heavy, why the hate towards people who choose to lose the weight?
