Wegovy/ozempic/mounjaro weight loss section

[Sewfrickinamazeballs]

Given the amount of threads on weight loss drugs, it's becoming harder to find threads without their use in the weight loss chat (and I am speaking from someone about to start them). Any chance a section could be made for these?

Good idea

I have been thinking of suggesting this - it would be great to have all the relevant threads in one place and separated from general weight loss chat.

Yes please.

Hello, thanks for suggesting this. We'll have a chat internally and let you know.

I came here to suggest the same thing. I'm also very concerned there is a constant stream of posters just coming to threads to give their discount codes (mainly for voy) and this could encourage people to take the drugs without doing appropriate research. For example we have "ukmum" who has been doing it for months and she's not banned from the site yet. There are several others, and many other threads in which codes are the only things mentioned. I don't think these should be allowed.

Yes please, I find it quite off putting in the current weight less section.

Completely agree, a weight loss drug section is needed, it's a nightmare at the moment.

Completely agree.

This is a great idea. The weight loss section is totally swamped with these posts and very off putting for many of us.

I just came to suggest the same thing too as it's so hard to just find normal support threads now

Another one who thinks there should be a separate weight loss drug board please!

I think there should be a separate area for weight loss drugs too. It’s not a solution for someone looking to shift half a stone for a summer wedding, better eating habits and recipes don’t need discount codes or spammers.

Yes please! Totally swamping the standard weight loss board at the moment, would be better for everyone if it was more organised.

A medicated weight loss section would be ideal.

Yes, please shepherd all the weight loss drug threads into their own separate section!

I agree, the weight loss section is dominated by them now.

May I add my request asking for a separate section? TIA

I would also like this, please :-)

I agree

Fab idea

I've just looked at the Weight Loss Chat topic, and out of the 50 threads on that first page, 21 of them are about Wegovy, etc!

Really time to give medicated weight loss its own topic I think.

I wholeheartedly agree with the posts above. There needs to be a separate board for weight loss drugs. The weight loss thread is now becoming dominated by threads about weight loss drugs. It's really off putting for those who aren't interested in taking these medications.

Yes please,it's worse than the Christmas threads at the moment!

I agree!

Seems fairly unanimous @ClaraMumsnet!
