Yup. This trend of salivating for drugs instead of just doing what you’re supposed to be doing is bonkers.
NP. Americans are lazy. They consume high amount of carbs, sugar and calories. They have high cholesterol, pre diabetes or diabetes, but at the same time want to stay thin. Lol

Presumably you are thin, healthy and smart, so why are you on this thread? Oh I know, because you're just nasty and jealous.
Jealous of what? OP coveting a drug to change their biochemistry to promote weight loss instead of acting like a normal human was designed, which avoids the weight gain in the first place? Or jealous of the other people in this thread that think innovation should be free. I’m sure all those posters also work for free.
Again, why are you here? Just to gloat about how perfect you are. We get it. You are sooooooooo much better than us fatties looking for a drug to fix us. Does that make you feel better?
Its a discussion forum. You know, for discussion.
The suggestion anyone is jealous of any of this is constant, yet exceptionally dumb. Similarly, the entire post's concept reeks of entitlement. Why exactly would a novel pharaceutical that is being now being used beyond its original indication to treat a self-inflicted disease be ready available "for the rest of us" at effectively no cost? How does that make any amount of sense? Do you work for free? The answer is you don't. And, that attitude of entitlement probably landed you in whatever predicament you are in with regard to your weight and lack of self control anyways.
Presumably, people discuss things that affect them or they have experience in. By your own admission this has ZERO bearing on your life, so why are you here if not to shit on people doing their best to lose the weight? Because you are a shit person, an anonymous keyboard warrior sticking it to us fatties on the internet trying to make yourself feel better.
Everything else you said is pure shit and you should read on about these drugs if you wish to "discuss."
This affects all of us. The OP is an entitled brat. Here is the post for your failed memory:
I have 25 pounds to lose. I do workout regularly but am menopausal and am really having a difficult time with diet. Insurance won’t cover weight loss drugs for me. My BMI is close to normal.
How long until the free shit army demands these drugs along with a bunch of other handouts? How much more are these people going to foist on to others to clean up their mess?
This thread of full of people demanding other humans give away their work for free. That’s effectively the premise of the entire thread. Isn’t it enough that people are way out of energy consumption balance and already sucking up extra resources? Now we need to ensure wide availability of novel pharmaceuticals to clean up a mess of their own making? It’s like idiocracy and we are talking about brawndo
Make that your last glass of wine tonight

The hate just never stops. Yeah, Oprah and Kelly and so many celebs who used the drug really look exactly like you described. I use them as examples because they are famous and people know them. I lost 60 lbs over more than a year. I are healthy and exercised and didn’t lose the weight super quickly. I look like nothing you describe. I’m also keeping it off (a year so far) without Ozempic. But you know what I DID lose in addition to pounds? High BP and high cholesterol. My IBS is a lot better managed too. But as far long term, feel free to use Google and educate yourself. But of course you won’t.
I guess we will have to ask in 10 years about some of the potential long-term side affects.
“There are some negative implications of Ozempic, particularly its correlation with various health factors, including, thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer, hypoglycemia risks, acute kidney injury occurrences, gallbladder events, gastrointestinal disturbances, and cardiovascular effects.”

I am not the PP with whom you are responding, but I do agree this is a discussion board, and comments like “people doing their best to lose the weight” via a drug is not doing your best. It’s the easy way out. Taking care of your body is a commitment and doesn’t just magically happen with a miracle drug.

25 lbs at a normal BMI is vanity weight. Pay for your own botox. Pay for your own weight loss meds.
Truly curious about this… if someone was prescribed Ozempic to lose a lot of weight (say 100 pounds) would insurance stop covering it if they were within 25 pounds of goal weight?
If not, I feel like OP’s insurance should cover them.

Totally worth it, and have never had issues with supply.
I am doing similar but I have lost 8lbs and that is IT, after two months. I don't even feel so much of a decrease in appetite so much as an aversion to a lot of foods. I cannot stand fruit for instance.
It took me a year to lose 40 lbs. 8 lbs in 2 months is a good start, keep at it. Super fast weight loss isn't sustainable or healthy, and more likely to rebound. After a year I really have changed my eating habits, even if I still need a low dose to maintain.
