Judy is gorgeous. People will always have something to say no matter what you do.

[@keishagooden643]

Yes this will

[@lindanoble7047]

Being overweight is bad for your health... But most menopausal women find it hard to lose weight despite diet and exercise. Me included

[@KoalaB354]

Haha Judy loves nails it in 10 seconds

[@ClaireSmith-ke3eg]

Nobody was talking about the perfect body.. the chat was interesting until Ruth started saying this.... Weight problem is so much more than worrying about the perfect body. Sigh

Not sure about the UK, but cost for these drugs is still somewhat prohibitive in the US. I know one of them even with a coupon still costs over $500. I actually made a prediction when they came out that we would start to be able to identify people’s “class” based on their weight now. The reality is that no one who can afford these drugs would choose to remain obese. If you’re still obese in the US in a few years time, the assumption would be that you’re also poor. I think it will be really interesting to see how these drugs impact society and culture.

It’s available on the NHS for certain people with conditions. You can get it from any pharmacy now and online, it’s about £160 per pen, but slightly more for higher doses. Ozempic is not as good as Mounjaro. Mounjaro works on two hormones, it doesn’t just make you feel fuller quicker and for longer, it stops the feelings of hunger in the brain.

I have Multiple sclerosis and other issues. Can't walk excersise i have no idea of weight, at hospital i was ten and a half stone. I wear size 16 dresses and 14 jeans (still stuck in lockdown mode, im wheelchair for hospital appointments and that's all i do.. bedridden 90%of the day) dont say, get out and walk. Think about the problems people have. ❤

First of all, you don't need to be thin to be beautiful or healthy. Healthy is beautiful. Another thing is, people think that having a plus size or even a normal size woman on a magazine, is celebrating obesity. They are obviously uneducated in a way, that they don't realize that men and women need to love themselves AS they go through their journey towards health. I can't stress that enough, it's IMPORTANT for women especially, to love ourselves and our bodies, as we progress through our journey. I went down three dress sizes this past year, but I still believed in myself as I was changing.

Im a fatty .. i can out walk some of my skinniest friends ..hike and out exercise them ... i eat waaaay better than them and still im fatter .. BUT i want to be slimmer for ME .. u feel better ..physically and emotionally mentally spiritually.. i know because ive been 1.5 stones lighter and thats not even that much !!!! Be slimmer for health !

[@farazismail984]

I get the whole not being up in people's business but when obesity is costing the nhs millions and creating back logs for access to treatment it becomes a national issue. A solution needs to be found, although the drug needs to more rigorously tested being distributed widespread.

[@Francis-xl2gu]

Don't need drugs just get outside and walk !! Costs nothing

[@colettesargeant6581]

Some women may have medical issues for example PCOS making it harder to lose weight..be kind

[@Justsomebody009]

Isn't it funny that I was like if you can't drive a manual and only an automatic then you can't actually drive, yet I would take ozempic to lose the 3 stone I need to lose without a second thought... It's an easy way out for sure but I don't think people understand. If the gym is your hobby right that's great. But what if my hobby is painting. I have to set aside those hobbies to make time to exercise because I work 8 hours a day and have a home to take care off. Dieting alone I've lost weight sure but then I Plato. I have a dog who I take a walk everyday my partner does the other walk. I do what I can but I'm sorry if I don't want to do cardio because my joints hurt because I've been anorexic so many times because it's like someone addicted to drugs relapse happens it's kinda about not letting it continue happening. But I got health. Gained a little bit to much weight. Lost it all in 3 months from forgetting to eat because I got my first home and my son was a newborn. I just kept putting off the hunger because I had another stuff to do. Then the hunger Would go and I wasn't hungry anymore. Now I've put that weight back on + maybe an extra stone. It's really struggling to lose it. But I've also doing a desk job now. So I'm sat down for like 7 hours a day.

Why aren’t you talking about the side reflects of this drug first? Please be responsible when talking about this please. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@lindanoble7047]

Frugs?

[@handsoffmycactus2958]

There are not very many.

[@lisamoore9238]

@@handsoffmycactus2958 I think you need to educate yourself more there’s many side-effects 😂😂

[@lisamoore9238]

Well said there’s so many dangerous side-effects. That’s being linked to these type of drugs, And so many serious health conditions why are they not reporting on this.

[@victoriousvalentine9779]

You are trying to be kind and acknowledge those weight is no-one else’s business, but at the same time you have just proven the body shaming argument and displayed your ignorance. There are many health conditions that preclude one from using these medications and make them life threatening to people with those conditions. Cost in many countries also preclude some sectors of society from availing themselves of these medications .

You can never loose to much weight, get to the gym girls

It's all about the presenter's; about how they look. Limelight attention seekers. 😮😮😮😮

[@jasonimbert2951]

I don’t think you can be overweight & truly happy!

[@FeelinErie]

I'm 5ft 7. At my heaviest, I was 216lbs and felt it. Depression. This year, I'm 190lbs, and I look back at phots of myself before, and I'm like WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?! I looked bloated (everyone carries weight differently). At my smallest, I was around 154lbs, and I looked great, and felt amazing. I intermittent fast, and that works for me. It's taken forever, and my journey isn't over, but I know I felt better about myself when I was closer to the weight I should be relative to my height.

[@DeeDiamond2981]

False.

[@handsoffmycactus2958]

@@DeeDiamond2981it’s true.

[@Ali1986Koksal]

If anything surly there is NO EXCUSE for anyone being overweight if these weight loss pills/medication work for pretty much anyone and everyone. Having said that if someone is happy in their own skin whether it be being big or small what business is it to you or me in the first place?
