Exactly a year since I started, with 6 and a half stone lost along with 12 inches from my waist. Determined to lose the remaining 3 I set out to, but it looks like I have to accept that might take just as long.

It feels liberating is the best word I can use. Being able to play sport like everyone else is a massive plus, but so is being able to fit clothes in regular shops and not getting out of breath climbing the stairs.That's some going in a year!
How do you feel? (Other than smaller?)

That’s how bad it had become

Football and cricket mostly. I used to play club hockey in my early 20s, might look into that againThere loads of football type things now, not sure if that's your sport. Maybe you love the squash or something!
I think the word ‘liberating’ covers that. Been stuck at this current weight for months now though which is really frustrating.what about mentally? I found that my moods & emotions were way better having got fit

I think there is some truth though in the advice to slightly increase my calorie intake given a whole year of a pretty large deficit.It'll come, don't get disheartened, when I lost my weight, I got stuck at 13.5 stone for a few months, then lost 1.5 stone in about 3 weeks. It just all came off at once, changed nothing regarding my diet or exercise.

Do uou feel comfortable at this new weight ? My ideal weight is classed as obese but it's how I'm built , if I was to be 11 st 7 like my doctor thinks then id look like I was dyingSo about 3 months on from this and trying to stick to what I thought was a maintenance figure…now put on a stone and back into being technically obese.
If I’m gaining weight on a low 2000 calorie diet, what actually is the answer? Have I screwed my metabolism? Clothes still seem to fit the same as they did in August which makes it more puzzling.
Would like to lose the stomach fat but to be honest it feels pretty demoralising to work this hard to then seemingly be punished for eating what seems sensible.Do uou feel comfortable at this new weight ?

Could be water weight, stress/hormone fluctuation or actual weight gain. Don’t panic and probably need to cut an extra 100-200 kcals off and increase expenditure.So about 3 months on from this and trying to stick to what I thought was a maintenance figure…now put on a stone and back into being technically obese.

Two friends have lost significant weightDidn't want to derail the politics thread again so figured I'd post it in here. Panorama tonight was about weight loss jabs. Only 30 mins and worth a watch
Panorama - Weight Loss Jabs and the NHS
The new generation of weight loss drugs is now available on the NHS and Panorama has exclusive access to one of the UK’s top hospitals as it rolls out Wegovy, also known as Ozempic.www.bbc.co.uk
My concerns with it areTwo friends have lost significant weight
It’s a no brainer for me
In the USA in a few years there will be class-action lawsuits against Ozempic from people seeking damages for the harm this drug has done to them.Didn't want to derail the politics thread again so figured I'd post it in here.

I can’t shake this feeling that you’ve probably said the same at some point about vaccines.In the USA in a few years there will be class-action lawsuits against Ozempic from people seeking damages for the harm this drug has done to them.

I said nothing about vaccines.I can’t help but shake this feeling that you’ve probably said the same at some point vaccines.

Yeah, sure. It was more like an extensive collection of videos.I said nothing about vaccines.
I did say we see a lot of footballers collapse on video these days (and posted a few clips other people had posted on twitter) but I absolutely never said I knew why.
Other people might have jumped to the conclusion I some sort of fixed idea in mind.
When a new drug or treatment for anything else comes out you don't hear the amount of wailing you do about weightloss drugs.Go and look at the side effects of literally any drug. There’s no evidence Ozempic is harmful, that’s just wishful thinking.

Nobody is saying stop using an effective cancer treatment because you might get the shits for a few days or you don't know what the effects will be in 20 years time.
And its not like they've developed these out of nowhere, they're a derivative of diabetic treatment and again nobody is telling diabetics not to take their medication or that they shouldn't have it because they'll need it for life.
On similar lines for some reason people that hate the pharmaceutical industry are usually keen on defending the perceived rights of the oil and gas industry
I love your trust in medical 'science' based on little or no research.
Severe side effects of GLP-1 drugs (e.g., Ozempic) sourced from 16 million patient’s medical records found that the drugs were strongly linked to a variety of side effects that frequently required hospitalization. Specifically, when compared to another weight loss combination not typically associated with these effects, GLP-1 users were found to have:
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2810542
- 9.09 times greater risk of pancreatitis
- 4.22 times greater risk of bowel obstruction
- 3.67 times greater risk of gastroparesis (which means you can barely eat because the stomach is constantly full—and in many cases after Ozempic, ends up being permanent)
- 1.48 times greater risk of biliary disease (e.g., painful gallstones)
Adverse events acknowledged within a trial sponsored by Ozempic’s manufacturer:
Table 3 Adverse events
In addition to lawsuits being filed against Ozempic for gastrointestinal disorders such as gastroparesis, lawsuits are also emerging for other severe conditions such as vision loss. Likewise, evidence is now emerging linking Ozempic to an increased risk of suicidal ideation (e.g., a 45% increase has been observed). Animal experiments are showing it distorts the architecture of the small intestine (which can lead to poor nutrient absorption or chronic intestinal obstructions), and many of the GLP-1 drug labels state the drugs may be linked to thyroid cancer.
So good luck with your health and weight loss efforts but don't say you never knew there could be bad side effects of using semaglutide/ozempic.
Do you think people don't research things or look into the risk before signing up? You may be shocked to learn that you're not the only person in the world that knows how to google.I love your trust in medical 'science' based on little or no research.
Is that your best response, no data, no facts just a nonsensical critique of style. Rather poor.Puts science in quotes. Uses scientific papers (badly) to back up point. Couldn’t make it up.
