awww this is so sad i feel bad for all the people who have struggled with their weight and thought they were doing something right only to find out it wasn't working out but omg what a great idea for more affordable interventions that way everyone can get the help they need to stay healthy and happy

omg how predictable is this lol i mean i guess it's no surprise that people who take mounjaro for years will still have issues when they stop taking it but like isn't that just kinda the point of medications in general? anyway i feel bad for people who are struggling to maintain weight loss without meds and stuff, gotta be super hard. maybe we should just start calling mounjaro 'the magic pill'

I'm not surprised by this study, tbh. I've seen so many people get off these meds and just go back to their old ways. Like, what's the point of losing 20% of your body weight if you're just gonna regain it all? It's like they say, "if you want to lose weight, you gotta be willing to put in the work." And most people aren't willing to do that.

And I don't think this study is saying that medication doesn't have its place. It's saying that we need to be aware of the fact that these meds are only temporary fixes. We need to be looking for ways to make sustainable lifestyle changes, not just relying on meds to keep us from getting back up to our old selves.

I'm also wondering what the long-term effects of all this are gonna be. Are we just gonna keep cycling through different meds and never actually making any real progress? It's a tough question, but I think it's one we need to be asking ourselves.

Ugh, this is wild! I mean, I know we all want to lose a few pounds and feel good about ourselves, but stopping medication cold turkey? That's not how it works, guys . It's like trying to quit smoking or something - you gotta have support and plan for the long haul .

I'm glad researchers are looking into more affordable solutions, 'cause this whole "stop taking meds and you'll lose weight" thing is just not true . I mean, what about people who can't afford lifestyle changes? Or those with mental health issues that make it hard to stick to a plan? We need more than just medication to get healthy - we need systems in place to support us every step of the way .

And let's be real, 82% of people regaining weight is crazy high . That's not progress, that's regression! We need to rethink our approach to weight loss and health, 'cause relying on medication alone isn't cutting it .

Its really weird that people stop taking Mounjaro and then just go back to their old ways... like, if you've already lost 20% of your body weight, shouldn't that be a big deal? I get it, meds can only do so much, but still, its concerning to hear that most people regaine the weight they lost. And what about all those other health benefits, like lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels? Those are kinda important too
