I’ve purposely not posted this in the weight loss board so there are some balanced views.

i am 5’4 and weight around 12.5stone. Probably creeping more towards 13 but too scared to check!

I was horrified looking back on holiday pics this year and haven’t tried so many times over the years to lose some weight but really struggle to keep on track. I was exercising but have a chronic issue with my knee which makes this difficult.

I’ve been back and forth with Wegovy and keep going to pay for it then getting scared at the last minute. I can handle short term affects - but I’m terrified of the long term unknown. I’ve got in my head there will be some scandal in years to come where it’s made people seriously ill but on the other hand, there are thousands of people taking them!

any words of advice to do this without the pens - or to make me relax about taking them?

Op, kindly, this will go the same way as all the other identical threads. Someone will say its 'cheating' and they lost x stone the 'proper way'. There will be a bunfight about evidence with links to reports of varying reliability. There will be anecdotal evidence on both sides from 'its amazing' to 'I know 12 people who.died / lost their gallbladder / Sharon from the office, her cousin's sisters next door neighbour...' .
You'll be none the wiser. I do suggest the WLI boards because at least then you'll be talking to people who have actually been using it.
