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.
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.

I’ll switch places with you if I get to be a size ten.
