Weightwatchers is a non loss to society?

[hilts]

Sitting at home injecting a drug won't give you the peer group support of attending meetings.
More isolation.

Not everyone has wide doors unfortunately

Interesting sex bias in this thread.
Generally speaking, Men need to lay of the pies and custard more than women no?

I see more fat blokes than women in general society.

I think it's blokes having a laugh, I'm sure they feel sufficiently scolded though and your job is done:-)

I'm currently looking in the mirror after being lectured by my doctor about diet, cholesterol, weight, etc hence the observation.

We had a health check up at work last week and after being told i'm fat, overweight, unhealthy and unfit, i thought i was in good company in my office as satting on your arse for a living doesn't tend to promote healthy lifestyle choices.

It was a topic of convo tbh.

So no, in this instance, i'm developing the discussion, not being morally virtuous.

 

[Stephen230]

Correct, that’s why the only ones who should be on them are diabetics who are prescribed them for a reason.

Ironically, it’s virtually impossible for diabetics to get prescribed them. Presumably due to their value on the open market.

Get exercising, you fat lazy slobs.

Yep. Walk to the takeaway instead of driving.

Don't diet have a permanent lifestyle change.

I'm very good at losing weight but it's the odd bad days that become gradually more frequent that get me.

Good luck.

I remember my ex going to Weight Watchers every week.
Every time she went, she would rarely lose a pound while I was losing 5 pounds paying for her to go……

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Exercise and healthy eating have more benefits than just helping you lose weight. I can't imagine what sort of health problems we're going to see in the future when people just use drugs to get the body they want. People looking like Naomi Campbell while they walk around with clogged arteries.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

The internet claims another victim.

No different to what's happening to MSM.
The monopoly on information is over. Companies that relied on that monopoly (like WW) are a dead duck.

Are people really going to Weight Watchers for the information? I thought it was more the motivation and support. Let's be honest, we all know how to get fit, but you're far more likely to do it if you join a sports club and have a bit of accountability.

Go on grok 3 and just put in "do me a week low fat low calorie menu" it will do one! It's why weight watchers has quit!

They haven't quit. It seems like some bullshit legal technicality that allows them to renege on their debt while continuing to operate and free up money to expand their business. If only the rags had thought of that.

But honestly, I'm not sure how many people are using Grok for fitness advice. More likely the rise of fitness apps and trackers. It also didn't help that celebrity ambassador and shareholder Oprah Winfrey admitted that she uses Ozempic, which took 25% off the share price overnight.

A bit of exercise and a calorie app are more than sufficient.

I think the simple answer is people by now should know it's calories in and calories out that matter.

You can lose weight eating shit calories but you soon learn that shit food isn't as fulfilling and you end up eating more.

The weight loss jabs work but they don't make you healthy and a lot of people who don't need them have started using them as an easy way out, as they can't control their impulses.

 

[Penfold the Duke]

Is that right? It shouldn’t be.

I was prescribed Ozempic and my blood sugar reading which had increased steadily over time dropped to an acceptable level, and I was told, just another 6 months and I would then be helped with a newer alternative. I’d lost 24 pounds in about 12 months. The chemist stopped supplying, so went back to the doctor who said none left in the UK for the NHS as fat celebrities like Jeremy Clarkson and Sharon Osborne were paying outrageous prices and causing shortages. Oh and stick insect actresses who suddenly needed to drop half a stone for a red carpet event. I’ve had some replacement tablets that didn’t really work and am due another review shortly. Apparently the GP thinks whilst Ozempic/Wegovy was a breakthrough the flood gates will open as other manufacturers bring out other drugs and prices will tumble.

 

[jma]

These injections will fuck your metabolism long term.

You need to train your body to burn calories, not get used to barely anything going into.

As soon as people come off the injections, they’ll be fucked, like the worst sort of crash diet, unless they’ve combined it with total change in the types of food/drink they consume and a more active lifestyle.

I’m sorry you have had to go through that. It all seems very unfair to me. It should be prescription cases first and foremost.
