Weight Loss Expectations

Yay Aubrey Gordon for pointing out (in the Maintenance Phase podcast on Ozempic) that if she were to use Ozempic she would have a 50% chance of losing 15% of her body weight. 

Which would take her from a morbidly obese BMI to …drumroll… a morbidly obese BMI.

If a 15% weight loss would put you into the “normal weight” category, you are not in the “morbidly obese” category.

This is why talk about “Ozempic and related drugs means we won’t have fat people or body positivity anymore” is stupid. I’ve lost 10% of my body weight many times. Usually I don’t even change a bra or panty size! Nobody notices! Still fat!
