Obesity rate is declining as more Americans use weight loss drugs, survey finds

omg can't believe its actually happening ! all these years we've been hearing about how bad our weight gain habits are & now it seems like we're finally taking some steps towards getting our health back ! i mean, glp-1 injectables have come a long way since 2024 and its awesome to see that more people are taking advantage of them . but seriously, the decline in obesity rates is a big deal - let's just hope it continues & we start seeing some real changes in our healthcare system

I'm not surprised to see the obesity rate dropping - it's about time someone took action! I mean, we've been hearing about weight loss struggles for ages, so it's great to see some progress. The fact that more people are using GLP-1 injectables is a big deal too - I remember when those were first approved and everyone was like 'what the heck is that?' Now they're becoming more mainstream.

It's also interesting to see how age groups are affected - older folks seem to be taking advantage of these meds, which makes sense. They've got more experience with losing weight and keeping it off. I wonder if this trend will lead to better overall health outcomes for people in those age groups? One thing's for sure: we need more initiatives like this to tackle obesity, so let's keep the momentum going!

The US obesity rate has dropped slightly, which is a good thing . I think it's awesome that more people are turning to weight loss meds like GLP-1 injectables. I've been following this trend for a while now, and it's interesting to see the numbers go up - from 5.8% in Feb 2024 to 12.4% in 2025. That's definitely a boost . Of course, experts are saying that expanding access to weight loss treatments could be a key factor in this decline. I think that's super important too . The CDC data is pretty clear: about 40% of US adults are obese, which hasn't changed much since last year. So, while there's still work to be done, it's nice to see some progress .
