Just get mounjaro!

I agree OP. Great drug for those who genuinely need it. I have seen people on here encouraging posters to lie about their weight (one thread had a girl who was 10 stone and held her dog when on the scales so she appeared heavier than she was - many posters were congratulating her on her weight loss 🙈). People seem to be completely ignoring the potential side effects and the medical advice that it is for people who are over a certain BMI and requires a prescription. Unless you have a medical degree then you should not be on the internet encouraging strangers to take a drug that you have no medical training to advise about. So negligent. I also see very few people now just celebrating normal bodies. Before advice would be about healthy choices, exercise and accepting your body. I'm a size 12, have had 2 kids and heading into perimeopause. 5 years ago I would have been told to celebrate my body, I've birthed 2 humans, I am strong etc now society is telling me that we should all be stick thin with frozen faces and it is so damaging to self esteem and body image. We should be celebrating different body shapes and sizes. I have a daughter and I do worry about this obsession with weight and looks that we all seem to have reverted back too.

I know 3 people who are now very under weight. Average height and 7 stone ish... This is becoming the fashion now and it's so easy....

Cheaper than gym membership and organic health food.

There will be a huge price to pay!

I tried putting my details in Voy as I'd like to lose about a stone. But you have to sign up for 6 months, with the price increasing as the months go by. That put me off completely as I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take 6 months to lose a small amount.

I’m not going to engage further with someone of your limited comprehension skills and ignorance.

Where are you that’s sunny

"That’s completely wrong. Unless you think you know better than my consultant endocrinologist."

Hmmm, so calm and measured. You've misinterpreted my comment and gotten sarcastic and offended. It had nothing to do with anything you're talking about.

I’ll hold my hand up and say that I take Mounjaro. But I absolutely wouldn’t advocate it for losing 10lb.

I successfully lost 3stone on Mounjaro 18 months ago, came off and gained 2 back.

I was a slim child and teen and but in my early 20,s (in the 90s) I wanted to lose a few pounds and went on a diet. have struggled with my weight ever since. I was a perfectly healthy weight at the time with a regulated appetite. When my clothes felt a bit tight I dropped treats for a few days.

since then every single diet has led to me gaining even more fucking weight. As soon as I even think about cutting back my brain says EAT. EAT EVERYTHING IN SIGHT FOR SCARCITY IS IMMINENT

I would never advise anyone who wants to lose a few pounds to diet, never mind Mounjaro.

So I had 12kg to use, yo yo dieter, and I used MJ. I
lost it July to October last year. Now taking 2mg a day, It just stops me overeating. I’ll cut down further in next pen to maybe 1.5mg. I really want to break habit of losing and gaining same 10kg.

I’m doing a lot of weight training and have built good muscle mass. The risk of long term dieting and keeping calories v low (esp if no resistance training) is risk of sarcopenia.

I’ve got to admit, I sometimes feel tempted. My BMi is 22. I would love to look how I used to, but I’m really struggling with food noise, comfort eating. I’m a small build so to me I look chubby. I keep getting tempted by those patches. However, I won’t do it partly cause I am on a money diet (I’m freelance and the companies I work for have lost some contracts, and partly cause I don’t think it’s quite moral for me to do it when it’s an appearance and self control issue. That said, I would love to know if those patches I keep seeing on Facebook work. Go figure, no pun intended

I think you need to take your own advice there 😆 Strange over reaction to my calm and measured response.

The more threads I read, the more and more posters seem to respond with “just get mounjaro” for posters wanting to lose as little as 10 lbs to get within a healthy BMI. More traditional methods of weight loss appear to be out of fashion and as though you’d be foolish to do it the perceived hard way when you can just inject a drug.
I was reading a thread where a poster had a BMI of just over 25 who was told to just get WLIs. What happened to them being for those who are obese?
Is this the way things are going now? Gained a few pounds over Christmas or on holiday? Just inject and don’t worry about it!
Anybody going against the grain of weight loss injections is often accused of being jealous. It’s a bit cult like on some threads as though WLI are the only valid way to lose weight and you’d be foolish to try any other way because “diets don’t work” and just adopting a healthier diet and lifestyle is laughable; a fool’s game and you’ll end up fat again. Well, yes, if you go back to your old habits, just like any method of weight loss.

Just a bit of a rant really on this sunny Tuesday!

I don’t have to take them so it’s not my problem.

Christ – settle down. There is no 'one' cause of obesity. I'm not even referring jabs for obese people, I'm referring to jabs for non-obese people – as is the subject of the thread. Refrain from being so unnecessarily indignant.

The cause of the majority of obesity in the world is sugar.

Consecutive government have known that for decades and have done nothing to restrict its use across the food chain.

Sugar was known as "white gold" from the 17th century when the Dutch controlled most of its production in Brazil.

It's a toxin for humans as it causes chronic inflammation and is one of the top causes of many chronic diseases in the West including obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hormonal imbalances and cardiovascular disease.

MJ is only a solution for people whose health is at serious risk because of obesity. It is dangerous for everyone else and not a silver bullet to stay slim.
All medication has an impact on the body and taking it has to outweigh the risk of not taking it otherwise people will end up doing more damage to their bodies.

For most people, losing weight involves cutting out sugar and foods containing sugar.

Voy is one and Med Express are doing it too now.
