Feckin furious about skinny jabs

You are slightly overweight but not enough to need weight loss medication. Why did you apply ?

I think you are being really nasty and vindictive. What’s it to you how other people lose weight? I don’t see an issue with losing weight to go from a BMI at the top of the healthy range to a BMI at the lower end. Lots of people use the jabs alongside strength training. Leave them alone.

Tbh fair enough if you were able to get the jabs when you have been honest about your weight and according to guidelines should not be prescribed it at that weight then that should be reported.

This is just weird.
My cardiologist was really happy I had used the jabs

Me?

Do you not have a life?

She knows she can’t bring down the WLI industry.

Her real issue seems to be with people who use WLI, and this is a rather nasty attempt to stir up fear while taking a swipe at those users.

Your BMI is in the overweight category though, so I'm not sure what is so corrupt - how would they know that you aren't buying the jabs in good faith? You say your weight is muscle mass but how would they know that? Why are you trying to bring the WLI industry down, just live and let live would you?

I think the toxins you have been injecting into your face have gone to your brain. 😬

Hang on, so you weren't asked why you wanted the jabs? You weren't asked any questions about previous attempts to lose weight? If that's true (which I strongly doubt) then yes, of course you should report the provider for not following the required process.

This is possible. Especially for short women.
Im 5' and at 9st 3 I was only a bit overweight but looked quite big in photos mostly in the face and waist.

What's OP gonna do when she's 50 and her nose has grown a foot long from all the lies she tells

Expect she is also losing work through the WLI. Hence her entrapment attempt to sabotage a fantastic treatment for millions.

Thank goodness no one will take any notice of her!

Like others i had to provide photos etc and paid a lot less than £265

i watch my calories and exercise…..the fact that others dont it not the fault of the jabs, or the vast majority of prescribers

You'll be way out of time now, it's only open for a certain amount of time

No one in the health service is trying to put a stop to WLI. There is research into long-term effects ongoing but no service-backed campaign to prevent them being prescribed. You are not in the health service though, are you? You are, or claim to be, some sort of journalist. And what you are trying to do is create some sort of scandal in order to make WLI unavailable to those that need them. This is about as low as it gets. You deliberately set up a bogus account to apply for something you didn't want in order to engineer some kind of "gotcha". I'm guessing you've never heard of entrapment. I'm also prepared to bet we will never see the headlines you are banking on.

You're a journalist 😂

Aye dead on

It costs what it costs, I am not really sure what you are trying to gain from this rant. I know several people who have made the choice to pay for weight loss meds privately, and it has been life changing for them all. People are aware of the costs involved and the screening to meet the criteria re BMI etc- for most 'normal people' there is a process requiring proof via photos, videos showing their weight, providing GP details etc. It is not really the quick easy fix those who sneer at weight loss 'jabs' use in order to claim the moral high ground.

I am in the process of making the decision to invest in my health this way. I have just hit 50, I am classed as morbidly obese- I am fed up of feeling tired, unhealthy and recognise that I have stopped exercising, socialising and do not really like myself because of my weight. It is time to make the investment.

Yes, I do know how to eat healthily, I was slim throughout my 20s and 30s but then I was widowed suddenly, worked as a lone parent in child protection for the last 20 years, dealt with having elderly and infirm parents 100s of miles away etc. My relationship with food has changed and if I could go back to keeping on top of my weight and my previous relationship with food I would have achieved it by now. I need to reset, I want to feel healthy and energised again. I also do not want my DC to loose another parent too young. It is expensive, but to put it in this context it should be an investment that will be life changing.

I can see it now! Why wasn’t it there before??

Anyway, I’ll edit my first comment so it makes sense. Apologies for the confusion.

Where is it? I looked for it (at the bottom of my post, and on the 3 little dots on the top right) and couldn’t find it.

My muscle mass increased as losing weight enabled me to exercise more and overhaul my diet. You know, just like you are told to do by the people who prescribe the medication.

The problem isn't the prescriber or the meds, it's the end users either waiting until they've lost the weight to makes changes or just not putting any effort in at all. It took me over two years to lose the weight I needed to, and even with medication, it was still hard work. I put in the effort right from the start and heeded the advice given by my prescriber.

If you are trying to get rogue prescribers who in breach of their licences shut down, fair enough, but don't try to shut the whole thing down. There are people like me who really needed the medication and support.

Perhaps you should look into the NHS so called weight loss service - that is something to be fecking furious about, it is fecking shit (to use your terminology) and not fit for purpose.

We have an edit function

OP, I’m embarrassed for you, what a load of nonsense! You’ve given me a laugh though, so thank you for that. Your SPaG is shocking for a ‘journalist’, and your age has nothing to do with it. Nice bit of ageism from you.

Op won’t be back

Has had her arse well and truly handed to her on a plate
