to think my colleague should just admit she is on weight loss injections?

Because when you have lost weight it’s fair game for anyone to speculate about it and comment on it. Or start a thread on MN about it. At least this way she can largely be in control of her own story. It won’t stop everyone making up shit about her though. As you’ve shown.

Do you feel the need to call out anyone using collagen or fillers? Or someone who is looking brighter because their antidepressants are working?

Your kecks are aflame.

So surely that's your issue, not whether or not she 'admits' to using WLI, that she's a bit of a diet bore. Just ask her to stop commenting on your food choices.

No, but if the smoker was going around telling everyone they’d gone cold turkey and not needed any assistance it would be disingenuous.

No one needs to share anything they don’t want to but pretending it’s all due ONLY to dietary changes and willpower is strange.

I’m ok with people knowing I’m on the jabs. If I wasn’t I’d take them, keep my mouth shut and say I’ve been trying to lose weight if asked but not offer any information or thought on how easy it is and that ‘anyone can do it’

I mean, definitely dont say anything but

If I were her, I wouldnt be going around banging on about my various diet methods when whats actually working is mounjaro

Like, just dont say anything. Otherwise you invite questions

Same as someone suddenly sprouting bigger boobs and banging on about her chest workouts at the gym, rather than just going about her business with big boobs 🤷‍♀️

No judgement at all, i actually have huge respect for anyone on a wl journey, but what shes doing will backfire when the questions inevitably come

It really is none of your business. Willpower and self control and adhering to a healthy balanced calorie deficit diet are still required whilst on weight loss injections. The ‘food noise’ is turned down but it’s not magic and requires effort. Well done to her. You should celebrate her achievements and not be sitting in judgement.

You still need willpower and commitment. I was on the jabs and didn’t lose anything because I don’t have the willpower and motivation. So you’re talking bollocks.

Yeah

But that's what WLIs do!
They give you the willpower / headspace to do it
The rest is still old fashioned diet, tracking and exercise!

Non of your business
if she is fibbing I can see why !
Dont judge her it could be she is diabetic or she could b on auto immune drugs they come in similar pens !
Just be happy for her 🥰

This. If it really was a WLI pen then she would almost certainly be keeping it in her bathroom at home. There's no reason for her to have it in her bag. I suspect the OP is not giving the correct picture

We roll our eyes at her telling people they need to lose weight and it’s easy as she’s done it. Then lying about how she’s done it.

Stupid post. They have to be kept refrigerated until they are open, and then they are used once a week. Why on earth would she bring it into the office. It is the sort of thing you do quietly at home - not balanced in the ladies at work. I am sorry but I don't believe you. And in any case, why on earth should she "own up" to anything? Should people "own up" to BP medication or taking the odd pain killer?

She probably hasn't said anything because so many people are very judgemental about weight loss injections.

Well hasn’t she stopped snacking? Chances are she has, that’s why she’s lost weight.

Oh that’s horrible. Who hurt you to make you so nasty?

Mounjaro (in the UK) is a multi use pen (lasts 4 weeks) that only needs to be kept in the fridge until first use. After that it can be kept at room temp although a lot of people just keep it in the fridge.

It is hard to believe that someone would just have it in their bag at work. You only jab once a week and it isn't time critical.

Mind your business OP and maybe be glad for her that she is doing something to improve her health. If she is pretending not to be on it, that will be in part to people (like you) being judgy about weightloss injections.

No you don’t. Not once it’s been used.

op, no she doesn’t need to make it known because it’s none of your bloody business.

Because..... She's on a diet.
you diet when you're in the weight loss phase of using WLIs!

Made up. You need to medically keep the pen in the fridge.

I dont think OP was until Sally kept banging on about it just being willpower when it appears she is lying and on WL drugs

It is amazing how many people have been on fad diet after fad diet, some for 30+ years, and finally found that the solution was simply calorie counting and self control, right around the time the weight loss jabs went on the market.

I know someone who has never been below a size 20 since she was 16 and over the past year has dropped to a size 14, all through the power of just eating less and her personal trainer, who she meets up with every day and is definitely not sleeping with.

It's an incredible coincidence.
