Thank you for your willingness to share your weight loss experience. I have been rooting for you!
my physician has approved my use of WEGOVY And my insurance will cover it. However, I am reluctant to begin using this drug since I do not have a Local group with whom to compare notes.. I looked at the WEGOVY Facebook group, but was stunned by the number of people who talked about nausea and fatigue and stomach pains; I thought to myself, do I want to try this drug? I wonder if you know of a local support group whose members are using drugs for weight loss & communicate via zoom. I really want to find a support group. Thank you.

So I lost 15 pounds in 5 months, just by using Weight Watchers. That was in 2018. Kept the last 10 pounds off for 4 years (I think 15 pounds was too much for me). However, after having a knee replacement and not exercising for 5 months, I gained another 5-6 pounds. But ready to start on WW again. Program helps you figure out what foods are best for you, and helps me limit my alcohol consumption (when a glass of wine is 5 pts, and you only get a daily total of 23, you can see how that adds up). Sorry, but weight loss drugs should not be used to lose 5-20 pounds. A little self discipline can help keep the weight off.

Right on! As usual. I am overweight and 70. My metabolism has literally stopped after a career of alcohol no also rare. But your writing is always upfront and such a wonderful testimony. Thanks!
