Brief vent about other GLP-1 groups
It drives me absolutely bonkers how in several of the other GLP-1 groups, whenever someone alludes to their goal weight stopping short of the absolute bottom of their weight range, (especially if it's still in the *gasp* "overweight" category), people will chime in with "don't sell yourself short as to how much you can lose on this med if you really try!!!" And that's on the NICE end of this genre of comment.
For health and practical reasons, I am trying to lose weight on this med (along with the fantastic mental health effects and inflammation reduction I'm experiencing -- hands down the best unexpected anti-depressant I've ever had), but there are plenty of reasons not to be aiming for the lowest weight humanly possible! My biggest one being, if I have to white-knuckle my way through, how is that going to be more sustainable than any other diet?
My goal isn't "get thin," it's less wear and tear on my joints and heart*. Whatever actual amount that ends up being.
*And now that I've actually been on it for a while, not being constantly ravenously hungry no matter how much I've eaten. Never realized that would ever be an option.
