We aren’t trying to derail the thread. We just are genuinely concerned about people resorting to dangerous drugs for weight loss. They never work long term. The doctors are in bed with the pharma companies. I haven’t had a doctor in 20 years that didn’t immediately push prescriptions on me rather than talk about diet and nutrition. I researched, went very low carb and lost 30 lbs in 2 months. I cured my blood pressure and pre-diabetes in that time. As I said, I fell off the wagon a bit but I’m still nowhere near where I was. This thread has me motivated to get back on track.

I gotta quit posting and take my bike out. Aside a bike ride is roughly 600 calories. Walking uses more calories per mile. You need to walk 18 miles to loose a pound. |

I have few friends. My definition of a friend is someone who can tell you, you are wrong and you are not offended but realize they may well be right. I received an e-mail from a NO LONGER FRIEND, all my friend agree with me and I am unfriending you. Too many people are talking to themselves. Where we are and how we got here. |

Very plentiful!!!!!
I have fought the weight loss battle all my life. I was 110 in 6th grade and 148 in 8th grade. Most of my adult life my weight sat around the 150 mark until I quit smoking when my Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer. I went up to 195 before she died 11 months later. From there I hit 225 in the next 12 years before I had gastric bypass surgery in 2003. That brought me down to 130 in 2 years (I'm only 5' 1" so that's a perfect weight for me). I kept most of it off - even throughout the pandemic. Severe back issues kept me non-exercising for the most of 2022-23 and I was back to 155+. I had major back surgery in JUL and only lost 5 pounds. Getting up out of bed/chairs/car seats is hard when you're tender from surgery and overweight to boot. Losing weight when you're 82 years old is hard. That weight makes you miserable. It makes it hard to move the way you need to. It presses on nerves sometimes. And it looks awful. Nothing that you put on looks good anymore. Depressing, too!

The best and most optimal realistic solution is neither a diet or medications, it’s a lifestyle change that involves both eating healthy and exercise. And the side effects are life changing in so many positive ways, including feeling and looking better, having incredible amounts of energy, low cholesterol and blood pressure without medications, and feeling good about yourself.

Can't say I'm a big fan of taking a type II DM drug with potential serious side effects whose ad specifically states it is not for weight loss for explicitly that purpose. Especially when it is prescribed for off-label use by an "internet doctor" (almost an oxymoron). But then again, people sometimes make horrible choices

Every now and then I'll check a thread without logging in and see the ill informed, offensive, insensitive or just downright idiotic comments that some character that blocked made. I always see that I made the right call in blocking them.
