Oprah talks weight loss journey, finds drinking partner in Charles Barkley

[@l.mckenna1034]

Oprah has tried so many approaches to losing weight, I hear you. She has been a poster child for battling weight loss, and has done it under the microscope. Thank you ❤

[@AS-vq3wt]

She could try eating vegetables and exercising.

[@buntyjoy1800]

Weight loss journey? She took some expensive drug that took no effort whatsoever tsk.

[@seanmccartney5177]

And failed

[@jacalynjohnson4656]

If you have never had a weight problem it’s hard for some people to show compassion for overweight people.

[@nbagoats4819]

If you ever looked at the lifestyle of an overweight person you will see that there is a lack of discipline, self control and determination to lose weight. Even if just one of those qualities are missing there will be failure. Losing weight also requires sacrifice. I have a sister whom I love dearly who is very overweight and is always complaining about her weight. However when its time to sacrifice her food choices she fails. She has allowed food to become a reason for living instead of using it as a basic necessity to live. I asked her about fasting and she looked at me as if she wanted to stone me. She turns into a mean unreasonable bull when she wants food. WHen you mention dieting during those moments she'll give you warnings to get out of the way or else.

[@beverlykelly6270]

I have sympathy for individuals with weight problems, I just don't think sick people should die and get mamed because of their inability to put the fork and knife down and get up from the table. I have a sister who's overweight, but she turned down diabetic medication, and started working her butt off and eating less, and eating healthier. Find another medication.. We desreve not to become second class citizen because of someone else's poor choices. I think they need help, and deserve help. But I don't think people suffering from diashould pay the price. The solution is simple, it's like if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. Over eating? Just have some willpower and stop eating so much. It's hard, but it can be done.

[@patricialynn5852]

Oprah here in Canada the government negotiates with the drug companies to keep better prices. Yes it $250 unless you have extended insurance coverage like me & my cost is $3.00.

[@anchmcle]

Where in the US, there is a shortage, n diabetica re hv trouble getting the drug and I understand that you can't just go off the stuff. I find Oprah'a infomercials and pay day blitz completely distasteful.

[@manoncoutu3915]

You are lucky that you have that presciption before they passed a law in canada if you are not diabetic the insurance companies wont pay

[@euletteedwards469]

I was just approved for the medication today through my insurance, however, it's between $80 and $580 depending on where I get it filled. It's currently out of stock. It's over $1100 without insurance.

Why does it matter in the color of their skin? Why are these people so concerned about black voters versus non-black voters? What about how the Democratic Party treats “it’s” voters As in you know, “all” of the voters

[@djoy4ly317]

Ask the republicans & yourself "Why does the color of skin of a voter matter?What about how the republican party is kicking legitimate BIPOC voters off the voter rolls, closing polls early in precincts where black voters live; refusing to protect against the harassment of voters in line, commits voter fraud and blames it on everybody else, gerrymandering judged to be illegal, eliminating early voting places convenient to American citizens, passing laws that make it harder to vote, doing everything in its power to make voting difficult and yet claim to respect the constitutional principles of democracy. Democratic party champions the rights and choices of the majority of the people while the republican party works tirelessly to strip the most basic rights from all Americans; the right to vote adn choose our elected officials. Pray for Peace in the US and VOTE BLUE thru and thru!!

I have battled with weight my whole life as well and i can say that to eat or not to eat is a decision

[@ebvisionnetwork8758]

I think the Black community cares about their health-- the health care industry treat us differently than they treat others. I have always been a strong advocate for myself and my children. Recently I had to rush my 30 year old son to the hospital. He has back trouble/ the hospital put my son on so many drugs I had to threaten them with a lawsuit. I told them you are trying to addicted my son to pain medication. I don’t think so… Due to me fighting for my son he is now getting the surgery he needs. Even for myself I have to fight to get the health care I need and deserve/ and Yes, I am now on Ozempic.

[@lisavanderpump7475]

Yes it’s true with primary care and even worse in hospital or urgent care it’s sad and terrible .

250 for a 4 mg shot when you dont spend nearly as much at the grocery store is really quite economical overall

[@giftenetienne9556]

Mounjaro only arrived in the UK in January, and a private prescription for weight loss is between £150-£200 per month; it's now only just been approved for NHS (socialised) prescription for exceptional weight loss cases, and that prescription would cost the user just under £10. The fact that people are having to pay literally 10-150x that in the US is so unbelievably crazy. Just corporate greed, man.
