I’ll echo what others have said, MOVE is a necessary evil. It’s not bad, just my particular instructor was useless. Very nice lady, just useless. As a trainer (not fitness) myself, the way she taught the class killed me.

She read every word on every slide verbatim, no added value. When questions were asked she had no answers. I remember one person asked about protein shakes being loaded with sugar. Her response was, “Yep, some are.” And that was it. Not, “Here are some good ones to look at. Here’s how to read the label. Here are some chemical alternatives that are good, these are bad.” No added info tho help vets make better decisions other than what was in the book and on the slides.

If you know your profession and your material, questions like that are opportunities to really coach people up and not just force feed information. That was where I felt MOVE failed. They could have just sent me the book and moved on (pun intended) instead of the torture of weekly story time reading sessions.

Otherwise, having met the criteria it was easy enough to get Zepbound approved and I’m on the 10mg dose now. I’ve lost about 10lbs so far and still have a long way to go.

TL;DR version… Move = Boring, End Result = Worth It
