LOL! these deranged posters probably agree with this too.

I'm taking semaglutide myself love it and am losing and feeling the best in years physically and mentally thanks to it. My only issue is when celebrities who are 40+ and moms are lying and pretending they did not get some help to lose weight, when our age group knows how difficult it really is to lose, even with great effort and intentions. So it feels like a let down to lie to other women, makes women feel like they are failures for not being able to lose the way the celebrity says they did. I have no issue with them not saying anything, and certainly don't care about their birth control.

Adding Drew Barrymore to the list, but she's at least not saying anything about it rather than lying about it.

I only care because they are lying about it. They really don't owe anyone any words on the matter, but they should not lie.

I care because it's gaslighting those that are trying to actually lose weight through exercise. Stop telling people you lost 85 pounds in 4 months because you take a 20 minute walk every morning. It's deceptive.

How does this impact your life? It doesn't. Stop worrying about what other people do and worry about yourself.

BTW I tell everyone that I lost weight on Ozempic with no shame. But just look at the daily threads here and the hatred displayed towards us. Then maybe you'll be able to understand why people choose to keep this information to themselves.

I care because I don’t appreciate being lied to. Period. Stop lying. If you don’t want to tell people, then say you don’t want to tell them. Stop saying it’s because you walk for 20 minutes a day.

Are they volunteering information or are you asking? I just can't even imagine how these conversations are going. If someone says oh wow you look really great my answer is thank you. If someone asks oh my God how did you lose all that weight I would probably look at them and be like none of your f****** business.
Just keep in mind that so many obese and overweight people have been shamed their entire lives and there's so much bad press and thoughts around using medications to lose weight because you're not doing it the hard way that they're afraid of getting shamed for not doing it the way that everybody thinks they should do it

Technically it’s probably true

Technically she's eating less (of everything) - by using Ozempic.

And she looks totally different

It took some time for me to realize that my (now managed) illness wasn’t why I felt awful, it was because I was seriously underweight.

Speak for yourself. I have lost 40 lbs on Wegovy and have never been healthier. Losing a lot of weight due to illness and losing a lot of weight with the assistance of medication while on a medically-supervised diet are two different things. I'm not trying to look "model skinny"--I'm working hard to build muscle and reduce visceral fat. I'm actually healthier now than I have been in decades.
