Weight Loss Injections

Love my journey with my injections such a confidence boost. But your journey doesn’t end once your at your desired weight, this just leads to the next issue. The injections just speed up the weight lose process

What sort of work you wonder. If you are obese at a young age and that is the only reason you can't do active work then fair enough but if you are obese due to later life with other health conditions then perhaps it won't achieve much. It needs to be assessed on a individual basis really.

What about those who are obese due to medication weight, no injection can counter that

I have battled with my weight all my life, yo yo dieting is me, l eat because I'm bored I'm very rarely hungry, but if l was able to buy this drug and the weight came off l would definitely only eat when I'm hungry and healthily, but l need to get to a happy weight first.

Our friend is on injections. He pays for them himself. It has helped him to lose weight, but he is also exercising and knows that once he is off them he needs to stick to the diet and exercise. Once you come off them if you don't keep to the diet and exercise the weight goes back on, it happened to another friend.

It would help to kick start the process but then a new healthy mind set and incentive and motivation is obviously needed.

The idea is alarming in my opinion as it's clearly part of a totalitarian agenda aimed at further groups of vulnerable people, and essentially another misguided purge on Benefits cutbacks. Obese people are suffering from either a physical cause or more usually a psychological and emotional cause. There's also the concerning question of how it's decided who gets injected and the criteria used. Would it be mandatory or voluntary? Scary times.

I think that the injections should be a last resort. If some people need them, then I agree there should be a cut off

I would love these but won't be offered as employed honestly don't think I'm overweight enoght to be offered anyway. Unfortunately can't afford them as have a family to care for. I was always thin until I got IBS now can't get weight down

Weight lose is really difficult but the only way to lose weight is cut back on what you eat, healthy eating and exercise

I appreciate the governments thought but some are naturally large, think elephants and rhinos!

I have a mind block over this. I don't understand why unhealthy people seem unable to lose weight without the aid of drugs. I would be scared witless putting drugs in my body for something I could do with a bit of willpower.

I have been overweight since my sons were born but not to an extent where I looked overly fat and I was relatively healthy. Then the dreaded diabetes reared its ugly head and it gave me the shock I needed to lose 2 stone very quickly. My levels went down and admittedly I have yo yo'd a lot over the years. However, I have lost another stone recently as my levels had gone up and now I just have an occasional treat. I wouldn't take that drug if you paid me. I try to eat healthy by cutting out/down on cakes, biscuits, sweets and chocolate. You can still eat most other food if you still have your health.

Top tips: make homemade soups, they last up to 4 days in fridge or freeze excess. Cut down on carbs a bit at a time, don't drink fizzy drinks, even diet drinks can fool your body. Eat less food, gradually reducing size of meals and you will find you don't want big meals anymore, eat slowly too. Set times for when you eat so you have something to look forward to.

I slip all the time but I never give up and throw the towel in.
