in Introduce Yourself

Hi to all! My name is Maureen. Recently I have been taking Ozempic shots and trying to lose weight that I just can't seem to lose no matter what. After 40 my life took a turn and I have gained weight so horribly. I have done every diet that was within my ability to do. Upon getting a third time "You're pre-diabetic" I felt like screaming at my doctor that I am trying everything but I just can't get it off! I developed Hashimoto's disease in my 40's and went through early menopause which contributed to my weight gain then I was horribly depressed so they put me on antidepressants. Another weight contributor. Fast forward, I am almost 60 and I don't want to be diabetic. My doctor put me on Ozempic three months ago. I felt I was doing okay but when I went in to see him this past Friday, he said 8 to 9 pounds in 3 months is not good enough. He wants me to log my foods and keep my calories below a certain caloric intake. Watch my fats etc. He upped my Ozempic to 1.0. I have to learn a new way of eating but I have been at this for so long on "new way of eating" that I am so tired of constantly having to worry about what I put in my mouth. Well…whining party over and I am not a quitter. I am at this again by my doctors recommendation and for ME. I know he is only looking out for me and my health. I will look at the recipes area of My fitness pal and also is there anyone else on Ozempic that can show me a group I can join so I can walk with those on this journey? Thank you for reading my introduction.

    Hello and Welcome!

    My name is Leah. I have been overweight for so many years and have been struggling the entire time. I have not tried the Ozempic shots yet, but I'm thinking about it. Have you tried the groups search on here? go to the blue header bar at the top of the screen, click on groups, once that page is up, there is a search bar on the upper right side, type in ozempic and many groups will pop up. Hope that helps :)
