Donna Cooper holds up a dosage of Wegovy, a drug used for weight loss, at her home in Front Royal, Va., on Friday, March 1, 2024. “To me, it’s a help, it’s an aid,” says Cooper, 62, who lost nearly 40 pounds in nine months using Wegovy along with diet and exercise. “At some point you have to come off of them. I don’t want to be on them forever.” (AP Photo/Amanda Andrade-Rhoades)
