I’ve never heard of this drug. I’ve spent six years trying to lose weight only to keep gaining. My doctors told me to lose weight to improve some health issues - but didn’t tell me how. You can be told to eat following dash or Mediterranean but still not lose weight if you’re macros aren’t right. As I found out!

I finally hired a coach. And even though I don’t hit my macros or calorie requirements yet (I under-eat) I started to lose! I’ve lost 3 pounds and 4 inches since April 1!!! I started resistance training. I think that’s what helped. I also walk nearly every day.

So no matter what your journey is, I applaud your goals to lose weight and appreciate the challenge it can be!

Even my own doctor has told me that the medical profession just hasn't gotten a good handle on how to treat obesity or help people lose weight in the long term. Just telling someone to just "go do it" is dismissive and inconsiderate. If it were that easy, our country wouldn't have a weight problem.

I'm so happy you have found a coach! Keep me posted on how you're doing!
