Absolutely
And the knock off, unlicensed or uncertified alternatives will lead to problems.
The other downside, and apologies to anyone using these drugs…
There hasn’t bern enough time to test long term efficacy for maintenance of weight loss. Cessation and return to previous lifestyle may be difficult.
I truly hope that these drugs help with clinical obesity.
Ordered my 2nd lot yesterday, its been reviewed and will be delivered by 5th at very latest.
No idea why anyone would want to put a knock off version into their body!
People will do crazy stuff if they think its an easy fix, a short cut or in some instances a considered norm to reach an end goal. For example steroids, growth hormone in body building, blood doping, epo in endurance sports and synthol, again in body building. And thats before we get to the fad diets and supplement side of things. (Note to self, partially guilty here).
You can even look at surgery for body enhancement.
Its not really about health anymore in many cases
Physio told me I had to lose weight to help fix my knee tendinopathy. It started out well, then I got Covid and gave myself grace for not being able to exercise. Starting out again from scratch today. Got to start building that good days streak. It’s worked for me before.
Sometimes its cost. Cheaper spurious products are available…
Best of luck, I’m having a few days off. I’m tired. Last week was a decent exercise week culminating in 2 kitesurf sessions, Thursday evening and Saturday. I then spent a frustrating day on the roof of our extension starting to replace the ridge tiles. Up and down ladders all day.
Diet is my main issue and perhaps others can relate to it. End of the day, I’m tired mentally. I’ll get home, have 5 minutes, get changed and then it’s cooking and prep food for tomorrow. Despite being sensible all day food wise, I can lose all sense at this time and bury far too much. Rinse and repeat the day after. It’s a cycle I want and need to break.
Speaking of cycles, I’m in full on ADHD procrastination mode over buying a bike. WilI use it enough? can I afford it with upcoming bills? is it it worth the money? Is this an impulse buy I need to resist? But a 10m kite would also be handy…
Trying to will myself to go to the gym now. I am completely drained of both spirit and resolve after Diogo’s tragic passing. Lost my appetite too
Yeah ive had to stop reading and listening as its so sad.
Ive never liked the gym even though I can get it via work for free I just dont enjoy going to a gym.
So 4th jab last night to begin week 4. New pen arrived yesterday.
Weight loss this week 2Ibs 3/4 ounces - so thats 3/4 ounces over a stone (14Ibs 3/4 ounces or 6.65Kg)) in 3 weeks.
Im glad its not such dramatic weight loss as losing 9 to 10Ibs each week like the first week would be quite worrying.
Slow and steady wins the race as they say.
Its just nice going to the wardrobe knowing 95% of my wardrobe now fits or if a bit too tight it will be wearable in a week / fortnight.
For excerise I want to dig out my bike but its just been too hot to move this week bar Weds and I was in the office that day so knackered once in. How did we do that 5 days a week!
Gonna be warm this week but hopefully Ill get a few rides in.
