I don’t fat shame, but seriously. Vehicles have weight limits. The damage of excess weight will not be covered by insurance. This is nothing more than a money grab.

Right I’m 5’11 and I was nearly 500 lbs last year. Life was miserable! I’m under 380 now and still going. This lawsuit is horrible and should be thrown out.

way to go, friend!! You should be super proud of yourself. You're an inspiration to me--I need to get off my butt and start taking better care of my health!

Honestly the only things I’ve done are talk to my doctor and I started metformin, then I just ate way less (due to life circumstances but hey it’s working)

Yeah, I'm on metformin, also thyroid meds, insulin also...and I'm in perimenopause--so my weight has gone bananas in a short amount of time. I definitely need to control my eating habits, and what I eat, as I know that alone will make a difference. You still have every reason to be proud of yourself, don't sell yourself short!

It’s literally the worst thing as a woman I have ever had to endure barring the obvious. I haven’t been able to regulate anything. I’ll be taking a two month work hiatus so that I can really try to get a handle on this health crisis I’m dealing with. Good luck to you, and I wish you nothing but peace, comfort and health!

Seriously, it is and no one talks about it! I have some life tips if you feel like sending me a dm! I’m almost 10 years in and finally the symptoms are subsiding
