Not these women trying to go from 150 to 120 lbs.



Here are her medications:

O****c 0.25 - 1mg & M*** 500mg for PCOS, Metabolic Syndrome, & Diabetes Prevention
W*** 150mg XL (been on for about 4 years for depression/anxiety)

Lifestyle Changes:

* Just generally eating less since this O*****c actually allows me to register hunger cues from my body.
* Rowing 1-2 times a week up until August 1st. On August 1st I started working with a personal trainer once a week for an hour doing strength training to help keep things on the right track and feel stronger. Also rowing 2-3 times per week.
* Making an effort to sleep on a more regular schedule
**********************

Now for me, as I'm not even half the size of this lady, my Weight Mgmt Specialist Dr. recommends:

* 1500 calories, 100g protein, 100g carbs
* Exercise 5x a week - 80% weights, 20% carbs since O*****c burns muscle
* Drink a ton of water
* 30 g of fiber a day as the drug blocks you up

I haven't been able to do the exercise at all since August with bad pneumonia and an even worse case of Covid. I'm going to try upper body today as just walking at work and the grocery store wipes me out. I need to lower the carbs. I increased the protein late Nov. after just eating two meals from DoorDash as I couldn't move from my couch as I was so sick. I'm at around 80g of protein a day. Back then I had like 30g of protein a day.

With DoorDash I was like damn, restaurant food tastes better than the food I make at home. That's a dangerous road to go down.....

Purple hair...go figure.

Disgusting. You're a fat disgusting drug addict. Get off my misc (Super Ded fkn Srs)

That's not me. Read the OP.

I wasn't talking about the OP you disgusting clown (Super Ded fkn Srs)

Well who pissed in your cornflakes this morning, Mr. Grump?

I see a lot of women like the "Before" one in the OP walking around even California?

20 lbs ago my knees hurt so badly and it was just exhausting to carry that extra weight. I can't imagine what that feels like at 400 lbs.

We should be encouraging each other, not ripping each other down.

Amazing a 400lb hamplanet can look exactly the same after losing 55 lbs.

who cares srs isnt there a fatloss subforum to post this boring chit in?

What is this garbage?

How many grams of fat?

LOL at the user name. He didn't give me any guidance on the grams of fat.

Here is another success story:

Nobody improves their health with Ozempic.

Just because thin people are healthier than fat people doesn’t mean a fat person becomes healthier by abusing their body with a drug that has devastating side effects and ****s up various organs, just to achieve some short term weight loss.

The side effects are pretty brutal. A lot of people throw up if they eat too much. Bariactric surgery does similar things, I've heard.

You can't go to the bathroom without certain over the counter stuff.

You have to stay on the drug for life as 2/3 of the people regain the weight.

But I guess Drs are getting desperate to stop the obesity crisis.

What organs does it mess up? It's approved by the FDA as a diabetes drug and used off-label as a weight loss drug.

you should just try to eat less and exercise more. FYI bodybuilding dot com is a fitness website; you can find plenty of resource material on losing weight and building muscle. Hope this helps!

When I first joined here I lost 30 lbs but then I gained like 80 lbs when I started psych meds. It’s yo-you all over the place.

It gets to the point where I’m so hungry I can’t sleep and that’s on 2,000 calories a day. Now I can eat 1500 calories a day without starving.

I’m tapering off the psych meds but it’s so slow it will take years. I’m just focused on one now as it causes weight gain, higher blood sugar and higher cholesterol. It creates stomach pain if I taper too quickly.

So I’ve lost 15-20 lbs on O**** and ph******** I mean people on here do ECA stacks?

Nah, this isn't true. I took it for about 6 months, and now haven't done an injection in 4-5 weeks so it's likely fully out of my system. My stomach managed to shrink in a big way, and my appetite and self control seems to be staying constant after quitting. My doctor warned me that after quitting most people's appetite goes crazy and people tend to gain the weight back, but this hasn't been the case for me at all. Still basicall on the same path I was, so whatever my issue was with binge eating seems to have corrected itself(at least for the time being).

That's interesting as they say 2/3 of the people gain the weight back, but maybe you are the lucky 1/3.

Binge eating is also psychological. I find that it's comforting after a long day at work and a long commute to eat starchy food. I've had to learn other methods of comfort.

One of my biggest problems is the availability. I can only lose weight on the 2 mg dose and it's always out of stock. Didn't you pay for it out-of-pocket?

Why aren’t they just prescribing low doses of vitamin T (at least for men)

Seems way safer

Well many of these folks also have diabetes so Oz**** also controls their A1C. It's FDA approved as a diabetes drug. People jut realized they lost a lot of weight on it so it became off-label as a weight loss drug.

My Dad lost something like 50 lbs taking a similar drug for his diabetes.

Well, we aren't supposed to talk about drugs on here.

I'm on a forum with the O users and many say that they yo-yo, so they cut calories, lose weight, and then regain it, plus more.

They also say not only does it cut their hunger, it cuts their food cravings.

I've in that same boat of cutting calories, increasing exercise, and then I get so hungry I can't sleep. But that could also be the psych meds.
