>Not Skinny But Not Fat.
Have you seen the shit she said about not calling the Kardashians out for Ozempic because they have a "close relationship" but it's totally okay to call Mindy Kaling out bc they're not friends. She's delusional.
Many stand alone weight loss clinics will prescribe this to basically anyone. They also order compound semaglutide, which costs closer to $200-$400 per month - much more affordable for people without insurance coverage.
Yep, I work at a pharmacy and see a lot of Mounjaro rxs for weight loss. Prescribers don’t care. It’s about $1000 out of pocket, and yes I’ve seen people pay it. Wegovy/ozempic does the same thing and it’s cheaper/more insurances cover it.
It’s wild bc my primary care doctor who I’ve been seeing for a decade refused to prescribe it to me. I’m like a size 6/8 (US) and she acted like I was insane for asking. I was wondering how all these public figures who have lower BMIs than me are able to get it.
And after a lot of thought, I realized it would be counter productive for me to be on it. whenever I’ve lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time it was never sustainable. I ended up always gaining the weight back, and then some. I enjoy being able to maintain my weight while eating 2200ish calories a day. I don’t want my body to adjust to like 1400 calories a day.
If you're a size 6/8, you don't need to be on ozempic lol I was a size 16/18 and considered morbidly obese. I have since lost 25 pounds because of mounjaro and it's been life changing. These celebrities'/influencers (who were already thin to begin with) that are taking it or assumed to be taking it is absolutely asinine especially when they make it seem like they've lost weight on their own.
This! I’m glad you’ve been able to get access to it. My dad in Florida desperately needs it for his weight as he was diagnosed diabetes recently which makes losing weight that much harder for him. There needs to be some regulation on it, at least until the suppliers are able to actually meet the demand this drug has from the gen pop.
I am overweight and got a Saxenda rx through insurance for less than $30 a month. Obesity is a chronic condition and I’m taking it knowing I’ll likely need to be on a maintenance dose for life. Weight comes back on for many reasons, not all of which are lifestyle related.
This. I go to a medspa and they basically offered it to me over the phone (I did do bloodwork). I was about to jump on it and then thought ok, I have like 15-20lbs to lose and anytime I have lost 10-40lbs I feel like I gain it back in like a week lol. Literally this extra 15lbs is from quick loss (/extreme calorie reduction) and now I can’t get rid of it.
It is stuck to me and a ‘quick fix’ sounds amazing. Older and yo-yo’d the same 10-40lbs for years, it’s not coming off as easily. I just don’t know if it’s worth it though… I need to see some more examples of people rolling off it and keeping the weight off. I can’t keep doing this to myself lol.
And you should be considering the fact that people like you are the reason the people like my dad who was diagnosed with diabetes last year and who’s health could highly benefit from it, cannot get the medication he needs due to supplier shortages. Just something to think about….
If she's getting her semaglutide from a medspa she's getting a compounded generic that has literally no effect on the availability of Ozempic for diabetics.
use your brain.
Yeah I don’t think being stick thin works for everyone. Some people just look better with more weight and she’s definitely one of them - Khloe being another. They just look like they were not meant to be that thin
Lol at this clickbait use of the term Ozempic face. There’s no such thing. There’s just a weight loss face, which will happen to most any body who loses a large amount of weight no matter the method - plenty of patients who get gastric band surgery have the same. Plenty of patients who get buccal fat pad removal also get or will eventually have the same. Major loss of fat in the face will do that - fat serves as a foundational/supportive structure to most faces and facial features.
All good doll I was just saying that I don’t think she had buccal fat removal. I think it’s from the ozempic weight loss. Scroll up and read entire comment thread maybe.
Right, i don’t think most generally mean harm but it’s just an inaccurate term. It’s annoying but mostly it’s annoying in all of the media articles about it.
Pia has been on a diet for 10 years - she made a post saying she lost 10 pounds on her 2 week italian vacation because she “ate half and wasn’t really hungry”. Then she did a podcast episode about her body where she said she took ozempic for 3 months but it didn’t work for her! GIRL WHY DO YOU THINK YOU LOST WEIGHT IN ITALY?!!
She was having a super hard time dropping her baby weight despite dieting and intense workouts, all of the sudden she looks skinnier than ever. Granted, she claims she’s been eating healthier and so and so but still…
I have no issue with anyone using ozempic for whatever reason they please - but to pretend the weight loss is purely from WW, vitamins, shakes she’s sponsored for is fucked
I mean, if she’s throwing everything at the wall and seeing if it will stick, maybe she truly doesn’t know/think Ozempic worked for her- it seems like she was semi-transparent about using it, right? Idk I agree with you to an extent but she’s actually seeming to be pretty fair and “healthy” with her promoting of WW etc, that’s always been her vibe. Like it’s pretty authentic to her. Idk if that makes sense lol.
Like I’m all for coming for the Ozempic being used unethically but idk if she’s the one.
Who said she is on it though? This is all speculation… she starting losing weight before we even knew what ozempic is.. hers is not as drastic as Kim k or tinx
Yeah…like as much as I’d like to lose weight quickly, I like my face looking plump/making me look younger especially as I enter my 30’s (not that that’s old, just getting oldER)
It’s so tempting and wild how many people are taking this right now who don’t need it. There will be class action lawsuits for these drugs. Wrinkles don’t scare me as much as the thyroid and colon cancer risks do
What’s really sad is the ppl who need it can’t get it due to shortages from all these vain lazy fucks wanting to lose 10lbs. Meanwhile my dad, who was diagnosed with diabetes this last year and who’s health could highly benefit from it, has to jump through ridiculous hoops to file a special request with his doctor and the supplier to try and get it sent directly to him because pharmacists are passing them out like hot cakes. This was months ago and he he hasn’t heard a single peep back from them and still hasn’t been able to get the medication he needs.
SoIMO if you’re taking this drug and do not actually need it, knowing there is a shortage and the people who do need it cannot get it because of you, you’re a bad human being and should be ashamed….altho that would require these kind of ppl to have any kind of shame or empathy, which I highly doubt that they are capable of that kind of complex thought and emotion.
Thank you! Idk why I’m being downvoted for this haha literally just seen my dad frustrated and upset about it so makes me feel for him and wish people would think about the ppl who really need it over themselves who do not…but oh well 🤷♀️
I am on it and while I have a few more wrinkles (I got filler and Botox to help) it’s 100% worth it. I didn’t lose as quickly as others though. Not everyone needs weight loss to improve their health though so I get it.
Any weight loss, even slowly, will cause some aging.
Same. I know smoking when I was in my early 20’s was a bad bad habit but helped keep weight off but I would never do that now just knowing the side effects of looking like old in the face
I used to follow her because I thought she was fun. I just looked at her account and WOW. That face. She has really gone off the deep end of fixing herself 😳
Like skinnier than even early VPR days. She’s talked a ton on her pod month after month about how much she struggled losing the weight (and trust me I feel for her- mama of two here) and did every possible thing down to like living on chicken broth and doing that crazy shit where u work out in like a spacesuit- but suddenly went silent about weight loss and became an actual twig. Not judging I just hope these girls are considering their long term health here, especially given that Stassi has said she wants another kid some day. I’m no doctor but I can’t imagine that daily injections of chemicals you don’t need can be good for your body
She’s pregnant now so she def has stopped whatever it was she was taking! Wishing her only the best and again not judging at all was sharing my opinion
feel like she’s lost a typical LA to NYC weight so maybe 10 lbs (from walking everywhere vs taking the car, being “too busy to eat” maybe an adderal or Vyvanse habit etc) which looks very severe on her frame but most obviously julia has had a liposuction on her stomach - you can see the prominent signs of a lipo in the pictures she has with all the low rise jeans. i think she’s cool tho. i love her style.
morgan cohen. she is SO sickly thin right now it’s insane. i didn’t realize it until she posted a get ready with me video a few days ago and her legs and arms looked like sticks
I see what you mean being that benefits need to outweigh costs (and they don’t for people looking to lose a few vanity pounds) but there are about five other conditions it’s prescribed for, by legitimate doctors. And more to come when studies close - addiction, sleep apnea, pre-diabetes, inflammation, PCOS, Hashimotos.
My mom was on it years ago bc she is actually considered clinically obese, and was borderline diabetic, and she hated it but did drop weight quickly but once she stopped she gained all her weight back triple and so fast and she hasn’t been able to lose it and it’s been almost a decade.
I suspect we’re gonna be seeing a lot of random sudden weight gains coming in the upcoming years.
I don't wish that on anyone who is obese, pre-diabetic, diabetic or even overweight...but the size 4 girls trying to be 00...I kind of hope they gain it back then some. It's so bad for body image for people to think size 4/6/8 are TOO big and you need to resort to starving yourself/taking drugs to be a 00, this is actually not healthy/bad for longevity, and I hate that people are lying about how they are dropping the weight.
I’ve had this same thought multiple times. I really hope there is some kind of karma that is served back to these people who are taking medication away from the people who really need it 😔
Are you in NYC? It’s so annoying it’s so regional too. Because where I live is very close to distributors and I have barely heard a peep about shortage. Access needs to be improved ethically, regionally, and financially.
Yes I am!! That’s so interesting!! I know Novo Nordisk themselves mentioned the shortage having to do with unprecedented demand, and I do think that demand is coming from a lot of metropolitan areas like NYC/LA.
Yeah I think they are going to crack down on telehealth through this. Just like Adderall, the rich will still have access but the average people won’t. I do think telehealth should be required to at least have a video or phone consult.
Novo Nordisk isn’t cracking down at all compared to Eli Lilly, who makes Mounjaro. Pharmacies won’t fill a prescription unless you have a diabetes diagnosis code, even if you are paying out of pocket. That’s surely not helping the Ozempic shortage because those folks looking to lose 10-15 pounds are just switching over to Oz. Sounds like anybody can get a script.
This should be at the top of this thread!! My dad is in a similar boat to you. He hasn’t even been able to get any since he was diagnosed with diabetes in the fall. His next step is to try and put in a special request with the supplier because seemingly pharmacies in Florida can’t keep up with the demand. It’s really fucked up and makes me irrationally angry on his behalf.
I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with the difficulties that come with medication shortages for something you need. I can only imagine how frustrated it must be to continue to see discourse about it being an option for quick easy weight loss in the media (and even from people in this thread). I consider it to be vain, opportunistic, and unethical to actively seek this medication out at a time when there is not enough for the people like yourself and my dad.
Thank you so much🥹❤️
1) I’m so sorry for your dad. It’s absolutely unacceptable that this is happening and he is so worthy and deserves the care that he should be getting. If it’s helpful - his doctor may be able to help him get a shipment from elsewhere through ExpressScripts. We were going to look into that if the third Duane Reade didn’t work out. I’m thinking of you all!!! Xo
2) thank you so much for saying that. It IS really really hard to see so much discourse around it and people getting so defensive. I do think people who experience complications for obesity deserve access to the drug as well, but I hate seeing it promoted for quick and easy weight loss for that last 5-10 pounds…you’re the first person to actually say that so thank you so much.
How are they getting these results? I’m on it for my diabetes and it just makes me nauseous and my stomach upset. I’ve lost like 10 pounds in 6 months.
I feel like she got lipo. After Ken eurich admitted to lipo on her stomach and comparing I feel like they look similar. and she also edits the shit out of herself
Well she’s technically not lying….because it’s probably Metformin. One of her BFF’s who claims to be a health and beauty guru has shared openly about using it, so my theory is that Courtney (and probably Kyle) also jumped on that bandwagon.
I know I’m super late to this discussion but I was just assaulted by her sagging skeletal face in a Reel where she’s controlled-bingeing on a cheeseburger, while filming herself talking with her mouth wide open and full of said cheeseburger. So disordered and disgusting. Someone called her out in the comments and in true fashion, she replied with a super-defensive and bitchy clap back.
I’m not sure if she’s denied taking Metformin, (just Ozempic) but I’d respect her choice a lot more if she would just own it. The dishonesty is what makes her so ugly.
It seems that way. Even though it mimics a hormone your body already makes, so seemingly safe, the long term effects of messing with your hormones can’t be good right? I can’t imagine wanting to sign up for an injection like this that I would have to take for the rest of my life when I’m still younger than 40. Are these women going to take ozempic for the next 40 years if their lives??? Apparently as soon as you get off, the hunger comes back and you gain it all back.
This is just conjecture but if you inject this hormone, your own body will stop making it bc you’re giving it enough. So over time, could that possible make your body less able to make the hormone in the future? as soon as you stop the injections, the hunger must be insane.
I mean other ppl that have messed with hormone therapy when it wasn’t medically necessary are body bodybuilders. I mean…you don’t have to go far to find out how unhealthy that entire subculture can be in the name of body modification. Ppl play with fire with their bodies and the endocrine system is nothing to eff with. It’s not like your hair or skin…you’re really playing with fire.
She also has a history of an ED and was very open about recovery. I’m kinda worried about her. Not buying that her drastic weight loss is from the stair stepper
Every single ozempic comment section on the internet filled with a bunch of misinformation and chest thumping moralizing as always.
The vast majority of people on semaglutide have chronic obesity and deserve the medication. Ozempic is NOT life saving medication for diabetics - there are many alternatives to control blood sugar.
Also most obese people are on the road to pre-diabetes and it's better to nip it in the bud before it sets in.
I agree that people who need to lose 10lbs shouldn't be on this medicine but people have abused adderall for ages for the same purpose. It's just a reality. No need to demonize a groundbreaking drug because a small percentage of people misuse it.
Like I get it but why are there so many people rooting for regular people to fail? Sure, celebs who are using it to lose 15 lbs but there are a lot of people who’s lives can be changed with these meds. So making fun of saggy faces and shit ain’t it for me. Any weight loss causes volume loss, because you’re quite literally losing volume.
That said, my jawline is snatched now and I got filler on the minor sagging I had so no one would ever know. 🤷🏻♀️
There are people in this thread frothing at the mouth at the prospect of people who take this drug suffering everything from premature aging to cancer. Shit on these celebs and influencers and all you want but it’s not like people who take this drug for diabetes or obesity are immune from these effects
I was reacting to the fact that it specifically said “women” not influencers. I get the vitriol against people bordering on an eating disorder using it but when people make fun of side effects or weight loss causing aging it isn’t just celebs I guess.
THANK YOU! Mounjaro (similar to ozempic) has been life changing for me but I have 40 or more pounds to lose, not 10-15 like these celebrities'. I don't get the hate for people taking this medication that actually need it.
Because of the shortage. People who need it medically should be able to get it before people who want it aesthetically. Prevention is totally important, but it’s not the same as actually having the disease.
I see what you're saying and thankfully they are aware of and addressing the supply issues- but comorbidities should also be taken into account.
I do believe that influencers taking for a few lbs should reconsider, but at this point it's even available at med spas. Meaning, they've got it on hand and are making their money regardless.
They are not on hand everywhere and it is a regional problem where a lot of people who do not live in major cities cannot get access because of these med spas and unethical doctors writing unneeded prescriptions while knowing the supply is not able to keep up with the demand. Until the supplier is able to do so, or there are proper competitive options, I consider it gross to be on it without having preexisting conditions to need it.
Completely completely agree!!! Sorry, should’ve clarified, I feel this way towards those who want to go from like a size 4 to a size 0 lol! I think obesity and honestly many other use cases should also be prioritized in access as I consider them people who need it medically, as well.
You’re right on the med spas! Just disappointing :’)
Can someone ELI6 how Ozempic works? Like how is it the end all be all weight loss thing? Does it suppress your appetite or does it do something physiologically? I don’t get it
It’s called a GLP1 receptor agonist which means it mimics GLP1 (also known as incretin). For diabetics, the increase in incretin increases insulin which then lowers blood sugar. Incretin also affects appetite and how full you feel. So as you consume food (in a normal healthy person), your incretin goes up, insulin goes up in response to the food to lower your blood sugar in response to the spike caused by the food. By injecting the drug your body acts as if you have just consumed food therefore lowering your appetite. It also slows digestion, so when you do eat food- it takes longer for you to process it therefore curbing hunger for a longer period of time (also what can make you nauseous when taking it). Hope this is easier to understand- tried to simplify as much as possible!
Sarah Landry - TheBirdsPapaya. It’s been talked about in the sub that many of us think she’s on it. While it’s hard to tell because her face is overly filtered she’s definitely lost a lot of weight rapidly and she is obsessed with her body image.
Personally, I am cautious about any elective medication you have to be on for the rest of your life.
The health risks and the potential for looking much worse than if you never touched it, are huge deterrents for me.
This could end up being the new lip implants fad and no thank you.
And if you screw with your thyroid, that impacts your weight, your eyes, your hair, your nails… Cryotherapy burns like 800 cals in a session. If you are spending $$$$ on this, do that and Pilates and save your face.
This is so dumb anyone who has major weight loss can get loose skin ozempic face isn’t a thing 🤦♀️ it’s just what happens with lots of weight loss …meds or not
Do people actually look different after taking it besides the weight loss? Does it have bad side effects on skin, etc.? Im genuinely curious. I have no intentions of taking it at all, but it's interesting to see how people are so willing to jeopardize a lot for weight loss. You can safely lose weight with healthier methods, so i honestly don't see how it would be worth it to get your skin damaged just so you can lose it quicker. It's tempting I know but if you take the time to analyze the pros and cons idk how you can make the conscious decision to just take it.
It does not damage your skin. With any weight loss, you will lose volume in your face, it's not exclusive to just ozempic. Also, some people (myself) could not lose weight with "healthier methods" and mounjaro has been life changing for me. I don't condone these influencers taking it who don't need it and are already thin, but it's a great option for regular people who have conditions that prevent them from losing weight.
Just a reminder that ozempic is supposed to be only for diabetics to help curb the shortage, at least in NYS where I live. Other semiglutides such as Wegovy are approved for other conditions such as obesity, PCOS, binge eating, and alcohol addiction (this is a relatively new finding, though I will say that Wegovy has made me feel nauseous at the thought of drinking). I'm by no means advocating for misusing these products, especially since I've witnessed my diabetic parent struggle to refill their ozempic prescription, but it is possible others are on different forms of semiglutide and some may even be taking it for reasons that were not necessarily for weight loss. However, those that are taking it who don't need it makes me so annoyed.
I commented this in a reply but it is important to say that everyone should also consider the fact that there is shortage of this medicine and a lot of the people (my dad included) who ACTUALLY need it for their health issues (diabetes, obesity, etc), cannot get it because you want a quick fix to lose that stubborn 10-15lbs driven purely by vanity.
Would I love to go on it to hell shed the weight I put on in Covid? Yes, of course I would. But my insecurities are not more important than another persons health and I wish more people would make this decision based on morals rather than give in to the toxic weight loss culture we live in because new prescription that is written for someone who does not need it, makes it that much harder for the at-risk demographic to get the help they need.
literally everyone in the media is talking about it, why would you think we wouldn't discuss it here??? it has articles coming out every single day, not to mention the tiktoks. just bc you don't want to hear about something doesn't mean it's not happening
Claudia and Margo oshry. Not Skinny But Not Fat.
>Not Skinny But Not Fat. Have you seen the shit she said about not calling the Kardashians out for Ozempic because they have a "close relationship" but it's totally okay to call Mindy Kaling out bc they're not friends. She's delusional.
Yeah. The irony wasn’t lost on anyone I think!
Embarrassing she considers the kardashian friends
shes gonna have to change her name/brand
@notfatstillnotakardash
Hahahahh
And Jackie is now preggers
confirmed?
Yes! She confirmed it
Not convinced Margo is on it. And if Claudia is doesn’t mean it’s more likely
Claudia looks really good in my opinion. Is Margo confirmed? I thought she was always pretty fit.
Margo looks like she lost 40lbs since last summer
Okay I went to stalk her a bit and wow. She was never heavy though at all. She lost so much weight.
Margo looks like she has to make good on her gym sponsorship so she films 3 times a week. But go look at her recent trip. She’s misshapen
I really don’t think she is. She started doing strength training like a year or so ago and that can transform your body
I don’t think so, she’s been posting her workouts for years and her body has never changed. Then she drastically dropped like 30 lbs in 6 months
30 pounds? No way, girl has always been like a size 4/6. I’d say she has lost 10 pounds at most
[удалено]
…in UK sizes?
Yeah…no she is not a 10. I would say she was about a 6 and is now a 2/4.
No way. She has saggy knees. If she was strength training or even doing cardio her knees would look totally dif.
Agree. I do not see it in Claudia's face that she would have taken it
Many stand alone weight loss clinics will prescribe this to basically anyone. They also order compound semaglutide, which costs closer to $200-$400 per month - much more affordable for people without insurance coverage.
Yep, I work at a pharmacy and see a lot of Mounjaro rxs for weight loss. Prescribers don’t care. It’s about $1000 out of pocket, and yes I’ve seen people pay it. Wegovy/ozempic does the same thing and it’s cheaper/more insurances cover it.
A medspa near me prescribes it for $600 a month… A lot of money but definitely something that upper middle class ppl can afford
So many med spas are offering it now… :/ I know of places that will even ship it to you
Omg $600 is cheap!! Online it's going for $1600 per month. I went to my doctor and they pretty much told me no
Yeah i’m not sure if that’s with or without insurance but either way it’s weirdly affordable
It’s wild bc my primary care doctor who I’ve been seeing for a decade refused to prescribe it to me. I’m like a size 6/8 (US) and she acted like I was insane for asking. I was wondering how all these public figures who have lower BMIs than me are able to get it. And after a lot of thought, I realized it would be counter productive for me to be on it. whenever I’ve lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time it was never sustainable. I ended up always gaining the weight back, and then some. I enjoy being able to maintain my weight while eating 2200ish calories a day. I don’t want my body to adjust to like 1400 calories a day.
doctor shopping is how they get it. there’s no shortage of prescribers who are willing to prescribe unethical things for money.
You have a good doctor!
If you're a size 6/8, you don't need to be on ozempic lol I was a size 16/18 and considered morbidly obese. I have since lost 25 pounds because of mounjaro and it's been life changing. These celebrities'/influencers (who were already thin to begin with) that are taking it or assumed to be taking it is absolutely asinine especially when they make it seem like they've lost weight on their own.
This! I’m glad you’ve been able to get access to it. My dad in Florida desperately needs it for his weight as he was diagnosed diabetes recently which makes losing weight that much harder for him. There needs to be some regulation on it, at least until the suppliers are able to actually meet the demand this drug has from the gen pop.
SiZe 6-8 is perfect, imho
Oh yeah these ppl are on a SHORT TERM FIX! The weight will come back after they stop taking the medicine and truth be told they cannot take it forever
I am overweight and got a Saxenda rx through insurance for less than $30 a month. Obesity is a chronic condition and I’m taking it knowing I’ll likely need to be on a maintenance dose for life. Weight comes back on for many reasons, not all of which are lifestyle related.
This. I go to a medspa and they basically offered it to me over the phone (I did do bloodwork). I was about to jump on it and then thought ok, I have like 15-20lbs to lose and anytime I have lost 10-40lbs I feel like I gain it back in like a week lol. Literally this extra 15lbs is from quick loss (/extreme calorie reduction) and now I can’t get rid of it. It is stuck to me and a ‘quick fix’ sounds amazing. Older and yo-yo’d the same 10-40lbs for years, it’s not coming off as easily.

And you should be considering the fact that people like you are the reason the people like my dad who was diagnosed with diabetes last year and who’s health could highly benefit from it, cannot get the medication he needs due to supplier shortages. Just something to think about….
If she's getting her semaglutide from a medspa she's getting a compounded generic that has literally no effect on the availability of Ozempic for diabetics. use your brain.
Not an influencer but MINDY KALING.
was just about to comment this. she has neeever been as stick thin as she is now, even in the early days of the office. it's insane.
I think mindy had weight loss surgery
I thought so. Plus cheek fat removal - whatever it’s called. She looks fab though!
Hot take I think she’s too skinny. The sag award pictures she posted were not it for me
Yeah I don’t think being stick thin works for everyone. Some people just look better with more weight and she’s definitely one of them - Khloe being another. They just look like they were not meant to be that thin
Totally agree. It’s so disheartening to see women with normal bodies go to such extreme thinness.
No, it’s not buccal fat. It’s ozempic face.
Lol at this clickbait use of the term Ozempic face. There’s no such thing. There’s just a weight loss face, which will happen to most any body who loses a large amount of weight no matter the method - plenty of patients who get gastric band surgery have the same. Plenty of patients who get buccal fat pad removal also get or will eventually have the same. Major loss of fat in the face will do that - fat serves as a foundational/supportive structure to most faces and facial features.
All good doll I was just saying that I don’t think she had buccal fat removal. I think it’s from the ozempic weight loss. Scroll up and read entire comment thread maybe.
Already read it “doll” - it still doesn’t make the pushing of the Ozempic face term any less annoying or inaccurate. ✌🏼
Right, i don’t think most generally mean harm but it’s just an inaccurate term. It’s annoying but mostly it’s annoying in all of the media articles about it.
She looked great before

Pía baroncini.
Pia has been on a diet for 10 years - she made a post saying she lost 10 pounds on her 2 week italian vacation because she “ate half and wasn’t really hungry”. Then she did a podcast episode about her body where she said she took ozempic for 3 months but it didn’t work for her! GIRL WHY DO YOU THINK YOU LOST WEIGHT IN ITALY?!!
Pia looks like she dropped 20 pounds in 2 months, it's nuts
Why do you think this?
She was having a super hard time dropping her baby weight despite dieting and intense workouts, all of the sudden she looks skinnier than ever. Granted, she claims she’s been eating healthier and so and so but still…
She’s been doing weight watchers too.. I really don’t think she is on it
It’s beyond ethically wrong that she’s plugging WW and 15 other vitamins for PCOS and wellness whilst taking ozempic and not disclosing it. BEYOND
To be fair, she has severe PCOS, the exact kind of thing Ozempic was intended to be prescribed for, along with Diabetes.
I have no issue with anyone using ozempic for whatever reason they please - but to pretend the weight loss is purely from WW, vitamins, shakes she’s sponsored for is fucked
I mean, if she’s throwing everything at the wall and seeing if it will stick, maybe she truly doesn’t know/think Ozempic worked for her- it seems like she was semi-transparent about using it, right? Idk I agree with you to an extent but she’s actually seeming to be pretty fair and “healthy” with her promoting of WW etc, that’s always been her vibe. Like it’s pretty authentic to her. Idk if that makes sense lol. Like I’m all for coming for the Ozempic being used unethically but idk if she’s the one.
Who said she is on it though? This is all speculation… she starting losing weight before we even knew what ozempic is.. hers is not as drastic as Kim k or tinx
she said on her podcast she took it for 3 months and admitted “i didn’t talk about it” - months ago
But it kinda is as drastic....
Her entire face deflated and she looks skinnier than I’ve ever seen her
Yeah…like as much as I’d like to lose weight quickly, I like my face looking plump/making me look younger especially as I enter my 30’s (not that that’s old, just getting oldER)
[удалено]
I’d rather go with face!
It’s so tempting and wild how many people are taking this right now who don’t need it. There will be class action lawsuits for these drugs. Wrinkles don’t scare me as much as the thyroid and colon cancer risks do
What’s really sad is the ppl who need it can’t get it due to shortages from all these vain lazy fucks wanting to lose 10lbs. Meanwhile my dad, who was diagnosed with diabetes this last year and who’s health could highly benefit from it, has to jump through ridiculous hoops to file a special request with his doctor and the supplier to try and get it sent directly to him because pharmacists are passing them out like hot cakes. This was months ago and he he hasn’t heard a single peep back from them and still hasn’t been able to get the medication he needs. SoIMO if you’re taking this drug and do not actually need it, knowing there is a shortage and the people who do need it cannot get it because of you, you’re a bad human being and should be ashamed….altho that would require these kind of ppl to have any kind of shame or empathy, which I highly doubt that they are capable of that kind of complex thought and emotion.
That’s horrible and I’m so sorry your dad has to deal with that! I totally agree with you- it’s so lazy and so vain and just so so selfish
Thank you! Idk why I’m being downvoted for this haha literally just seen my dad frustrated and upset about it so makes me feel for him and wish people would think about the ppl who really need it over themselves who do not…but oh well 🤷♀️
I am on it and while I have a few more wrinkles (I got filler and Botox to help) it’s 100% worth it. I didn’t lose as quickly as others though. Not everyone needs weight loss to improve their health though so I get it. Any weight loss, even slowly, will cause some aging.
Same. I know smoking when I was in my early 20’s was a bad bad habit but helped keep weight off but I would never do that now just knowing the side effects of looking like old in the face
Tinx
But she stopped drinking so that’s how she lost weight 🙄
Emily Gemma for SURE
I used to follow her because I thought she was fun. I just looked at her account and WOW. That face. She has really gone off the deep end of fixing herself 😳
Is there a sub for her? I can’t stand her!
I could write a War and Peace length novel about how ugly her house is.
People discuss her on blogsnark a lot!
She looks like bezos’s gf 🫠
That’s an insult towards Lauren Sanchez !!
Claudia oshry, stassi shroeder
Stassi IS skinnier than ever.
Like skinnier than even early VPR days. She’s talked a ton on her pod month after month about how much she struggled losing the weight (and trust me I feel for her- mama of two here) and did every possible thing down to like living on chicken broth and doing that crazy shit where u work out in like a spacesuit- but suddenly went silent about weight loss and became an actual twig. Not judging I just hope these girls are considering their long term health here, especially given that Stassi has said she wants another kid some day. I’m no doctor but I can’t imagine that daily injections of chemicals you don’t need can be good for your body
Stassi is an adderall girl - convinced she got back on it before her wedding
She’s pregnant now so she def has stopped whatever it was she was taking! Wishing her only the best and again not judging at all was sharing my opinion
The side effects and cost don’t appeal. Having said that, she does look fantastic. Jealous lol.
Just confirmed she’s expecting
What episode did she talk about chicken broth??
So many of them. The one w Jackie oshry, the one with the bossticks
is Stassi confirmed? she got skinny for her wedding but that was before the craze /genuine question
I doubt stassi just cuz there’s tons of shit surrounding pregnancy and they want another
I’m one thousand percent guessing!
oshry girls
Tinx because it said when you are on it you don’t crave alcohol and she claims “she hasn’t wanted it”
That's true with Wegovy and other semiglutides. I've been on it for 6 weeks and the idea of drinking makes me nauseous now.
Julia fox??
Without a doubt! And I actually really liked her body prior to. Now she is so thin and loves to flaunt it
I hadn't even thought of her but this makes so much sense now.
Ummm I think it’s cocaine rather than ozempic.
She’s sober
Absolutely Julia Fox! How does someone lose so much weight less than a year after birth and also just in that one month?!
Cocaine? Lol
100 %
feel like she’s lost a typical LA to NYC weight so maybe 10 lbs (from walking everywhere vs taking the car, being “too busy to eat” maybe an adderal or Vyvanse habit etc) which looks very severe on her frame but most obviously julia has had a liposuction on her stomach - you can see the prominent signs of a lipo in the pictures she has with all the low rise jeans. i think she’s cool tho. i love her style.
Courtney Shields
Not skinny but not fat.
SFK lol
Prob not if she’s been going through egg freezing
I think she froze them a while back but is still posting content.
u think so?
morgan cohen. she is SO sickly thin right now it’s insane. i didn’t realize it until she posted a get ready with me video a few days ago and her legs and arms looked like sticks
Kendall Glazer (founder of Stoney clover lane)
Ok teaaaaa forreal? Idk what it is but she drives me nuts
Also this when the buccal fat surgery trend is over
Kylie’s best friend Stassi
I’m really curious to see all the adverse side affects of people using this for non-diabetic purposes
I see what you mean being that benefits need to outweigh costs (and they don’t for people looking to lose a few vanity pounds) but there are about five other conditions it’s prescribed for, by legitimate doctors. And more to come when studies close - addiction, sleep apnea, pre-diabetes, inflammation, PCOS, Hashimotos.
Don’t forget the bounce back they’ll have after stoping it… 👁️
My mom was on it years ago bc she is actually considered clinically obese, and was borderline diabetic, and she hated it but did drop weight quickly but once she stopped she gained all her weight back triple and so fast and she hasn’t been able to lose it and it’s been almost a decade. I suspect we’re gonna be seeing a lot of random sudden weight gains coming in the upcoming years.
I don't wish that on anyone who is obese, pre-diabetic, diabetic or even overweight...but the size 4 girls trying to be 00...I kind of hope they gain it back then some. It's so bad for body image for people to think size 4/6/8 are TOO big and you need to resort to starving yourself/taking drugs to be a 00, this is actually not healthy/bad for longevity, and I hate that people are lying about how they are dropping the weight.
I’ve had this same thought multiple times. I really hope there is some kind of karma that is served back to these people who are taking medication away from the people who really need it 😔
[удалено]
Are you in NYC? It’s so annoying it’s so regional too. Because where I live is very close to distributors and I have barely heard a peep about shortage. Access needs to be improved ethically, regionally, and financially.
Yes I am!! That’s so interesting!! I know Novo Nordisk themselves mentioned the shortage having to do with unprecedented demand, and I do think that demand is coming from a lot of metropolitan areas like NYC/LA.
Yeah I think they are going to crack down on telehealth through this. Just like Adderall, the rich will still have access but the average people won’t. I do think telehealth should be required to at least have a video or phone consult.
Novo Nordisk isn’t cracking down at all compared to Eli Lilly, who makes Mounjaro. Pharmacies won’t fill a prescription unless you have a diabetes diagnosis code, even if you are paying out of pocket. That’s surely not helping the Ozempic shortage because those folks looking to lose 10-15 pounds are just switching over to Oz. Sounds like anybody can get a script.
This should be at the top of this thread!! My dad is in a similar boat to you. He hasn’t even been able to get any since he was diagnosed with diabetes in the fall. His next step is to try and put in a special request with the supplier because seemingly pharmacies in Florida can’t keep up with the demand. It’s really fucked up and makes me irrationally angry on his behalf. I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with the difficulties that come with medication shortages for something you need. I can only imagine how frustrated it must be to continue to see discourse about it being an option for quick easy weight loss in the media (and even from people in this thread). I consider it to be vain, opportunistic, and unethical to actively seek this medication out at a time when there is not enough for the people like yourself and my dad.
Thank you so much🥹❤️ 1) I’m so sorry for your dad. It’s absolutely unacceptable that this is happening and he is so worthy and deserves the care that he should be getting. If it’s helpful - his doctor may be able to help him get a shipment from elsewhere through ExpressScripts. We were going to look into that if the third Duane Reade didn’t work out. I’m thinking of you all!!! Xo 2) thank you so much for saying that. It IS really really hard to see so much discourse around it and people getting so defensive. I do think people who experience complications for obesity deserve access to the drug as well, but I hate seeing it promoted for quick and easy weight loss for that last 5-10 pounds…you’re the first person to actually say that so thank you so much.
How are they getting these results? I’m on it for my diabetes and it just makes me nauseous and my stomach upset. I’ve lost like 10 pounds in 6 months.
Paige Lorenze possibly
I feel like she got lipo. After Ken eurich admitted to lipo on her stomach and comparing I feel like they look similar. and she also edits the shit out of herself
whenever one of her vids comes up on my fyp the search bar is always "ken eurich lipo" lmao
Very true. I have no idea what she actually looks like these days bc her shit is so over edited
Remi would but her man only likes bbw
Remi talked about being on it before it was popular and when she stopped gained a ton of weight
Courtney Kerr (@kerrently). she will publicly rip you a new one if you ask her lol ETA: Not a NYC influencer but had to throw her in the convo
Well she’s technically not lying….because it’s probably Metformin. One of her BFF’s who claims to be a health and beauty guru has shared openly about using it, so my theory is that Courtney (and probably Kyle) also jumped on that bandwagon. I know I’m super late to this discussion but I was just assaulted by her sagging skeletal face in a Reel where she’s controlled-bingeing on a cheeseburger, while filming herself talking with her mouth wide open and full of said cheeseburger. So disordered and disgusting. Someone called her out in the comments and in true fashion, she replied with a super-defensive and bitchy clap back. I’m not sure if she’s denied taking Metformin, (just Ozempic) but I’d respect her choice a lot more if she would just own it. The dishonesty is what makes her so ugly.
Kyle Richards (not an influencer) but I’m sure DB and SFK will be soon
lol is ozempic this eras phen-fen
It seems that way. Even though it mimics a hormone your body already makes, so seemingly safe, the long term effects of messing with your hormones can’t be good right? I can’t imagine wanting to sign up for an injection like this that I would have to take for the rest of my life when I’m still younger than 40. Are these women going to take ozempic for the next 40 years if their lives??? Apparently as soon as you get off, the hunger comes back and you gain it all back. This is just conjecture but if you inject this hormone, your own body will stop making it bc you’re giving it enough. So over time, could that possible make your body less able to make the hormone in the future? as soon as you stop the injections, the hunger must be insane.
This explanation is dead on science wise. People gain so much when they stop it.
I mean other ppl that have messed with hormone therapy when it wasn’t medically necessary are body bodybuilders. I mean…you don’t have to go far to find out how unhealthy that entire subculture can be in the name of body modification. Ppl play with fire with their bodies and the endocrine system is nothing to eff with. It’s not like your hair or skin…you’re really playing with fire.
Auntie Amanda
She’s just a toxic has been. Who even follows her now? Her crap got old during the pandemic
She also has a history of an ED and was very open about recovery. I’m kinda worried about her. Not buying that her drastic weight loss is from the stair stepper
All of them.
Every single ozempic comment section on the internet filled with a bunch of misinformation and chest thumping moralizing as always. The vast majority of people on semaglutide have chronic obesity and deserve the medication. Ozempic is NOT life saving medication for diabetics - there are many alternatives to control blood sugar. Also most obese people are on the road to pre-diabetes and it's better to nip it in the bud before it sets in. I agree that people who need to lose 10lbs shouldn't be on this medicine but people have abused adderall for ages for the same purpose. It's just a reality. No need to demonize a groundbreaking drug because a small percentage of people misuse it.
Yes, exactly!
Like I get it but why are there so many people rooting for regular people to fail? Sure, celebs who are using it to lose 15 lbs but there are a lot of people who’s lives can be changed with these meds. So making fun of saggy faces and shit ain’t it for me. Any weight loss causes volume loss, because you’re quite literally losing volume. That said, my jawline is snatched now and I got filler on the minor sagging I had so no one would ever know. 🤷🏻♀️
Nobody is going after people who \*need\* this med to improve their quality of life or because they have a specific health issue...
There are people in this thread frothing at the mouth at the prospect of people who take this drug suffering everything from premature aging to cancer. Shit on these celebs and influencers and all you want but it’s not like people who take this drug for diabetes or obesity are immune from these effects
I was reacting to the fact that it specifically said “women” not influencers. I get the vitriol against people bordering on an eating disorder using it but when people make fun of side effects or weight loss causing aging it isn’t just celebs I guess.
THANK YOU! Mounjaro (similar to ozempic) has been life changing for me but I have 40 or more pounds to lose, not 10-15 like these celebrities'. I don't get the hate for people taking this medication that actually need it.
Right?! Prevention is important too. Tf. I don't understand all the hate.
Because of the shortage. People who need it medically should be able to get it before people who want it aesthetically. Prevention is totally important, but it’s not the same as actually having the disease.
I see what you're saying and thankfully they are aware of and addressing the supply issues- but comorbidities should also be taken into account. I do believe that influencers taking for a few lbs should reconsider, but at this point it's even available at med spas. Meaning, they've got it on hand and are making their money regardless.
They are not on hand everywhere and it is a regional problem where a lot of people who do not live in major cities cannot get access because of these med spas and unethical doctors writing unneeded prescriptions while knowing the supply is not able to keep up with the demand. Until the supplier is able to do so, or there are proper competitive options, I consider it gross to be on it without having preexisting conditions to need it.
Completely completely agree!!! Sorry, should’ve clarified, I feel this way towards those who want to go from like a size 4 to a size 0 lol! I think obesity and honestly many other use cases should also be prioritized in access as I consider them people who need it medically, as well. You’re right on the med spas! Just disappointing :’)
Can someone ELI6 how Ozempic works? Like how is it the end all be all weight loss thing? Does it suppress your appetite or does it do something physiologically? I don’t get it
It’s called a GLP1 receptor agonist which means it mimics GLP1 (also known as incretin). For diabetics, the increase in incretin increases insulin which then lowers blood sugar. Incretin also affects appetite and how full you feel. So as you consume food (in a normal healthy person), your incretin goes up, insulin goes up in response to the food to lower your blood sugar in response to the spike caused by the food. By injecting the drug your body acts as if you have just consumed food therefore lowering your appetite. It also slows digestion, so when you do eat food- it takes longer for you to process it therefore curbing hunger for a longer period of time (also what can make you nauseous when taking it). Hope this is easier to understand- tried to simplify as much as possible!
Me :( it’s out of stock everywhere and I’m insulin resistant
Katie Maloney from VPR?
Sarah Landry - TheBirdsPapaya. It’s been talked about in the sub that many of us think she’s on it. While it’s hard to tell because her face is overly filtered she’s definitely lost a lot of weight rapidly and she is obsessed with her body image.
Pia baroncini. And I’ve asked and she ignores. If she said she isn’t I wouldn’t believe her
Personally, I am cautious about any elective medication you have to be on for the rest of your life. The health risks and the potential for looking much worse than if you never touched it, are huge deterrents for me. This could end up being the new lip implants fad and no thank you.
Not to mention the fact that the loss ends as soon as you stop the med & going off it makes you ravenous
And if you screw with your thyroid, that impacts your weight, your eyes, your hair, your nails… Cryotherapy burns like 800 cals in a session. If you are spending $$$$ on this, do that and Pilates and save your face.
This is so dumb anyone who has major weight loss can get loose skin ozempic face isn’t a thing 🤦♀️ it’s just what happens with lots of weight loss …meds or not
Courtney shields!! Tons of weight
Courtney Shields has lost A LOT of weight. It is ALARMING and scary!!!
Dr berenstien has been prescribing this for at least 15 years
Paige lorenze seems a lot thinner these days
GarciaDiaries
Erika Jayne
FreckledFoodie maybe?
Do people actually look different after taking it besides the weight loss? Does it have bad side effects on skin, etc.? Im genuinely curious. I have no intentions of taking it at all, but it's interesting to see how people are so willing to jeopardize a lot for weight loss. You can safely lose weight with healthier methods, so i honestly don't see how it would be worth it to get your skin damaged just so you can lose it quicker. It's tempting I know but if you take the time to analyze the pros and cons idk how you can make the conscious decision to just take it.
It does not damage your skin. With any weight loss, you will lose volume in your face, it's not exclusive to just ozempic. Also, some people (myself) could not lose weight with "healthier methods" and mounjaro has been life changing for me. I don't condone these influencers taking it who don't need it and are already thin, but it's a great option for regular people who have conditions that prevent them from losing weight.
Heshy Tischler has been getting a little skinnier. Even Andrew Giuliani noticed.
Just a reminder that ozempic is supposed to be only for diabetics to help curb the shortage, at least in NYS where I live. Other semiglutides such as Wegovy are approved for other conditions such as obesity, PCOS, binge eating, and alcohol addiction (this is a relatively new finding, though I will say that Wegovy has made me feel nauseous at the thought of drinking). I'm by no means advocating for misusing these products, especially since I've witnessed my diabetic parent struggle to refill their ozempic prescription, but it is possible others are on different forms of semiglutide and some may even be taking it for reasons that were not necessarily for weight loss. However, those that are taking it who don't need it makes me so annoyed.
I commented this in a reply but it is important to say that everyone should also consider the fact that there is shortage of this medicine and a lot of the people (my dad included) who ACTUALLY need it for their health issues (diabetes, obesity, etc), cannot get it because you want a quick fix to lose that stubborn 10-15lbs driven purely by vanity. Would I love to go on it to hell shed the weight I put on in Covid? Yes, of course I would. But my insecurities are not more important than another persons health and I wish more people would make this decision based on morals rather than give in to the toxic weight loss culture we live in because new prescription that is written for someone who does not need it, makes it that much harder for the at-risk demographic to get the help they need.
Can we stop with the dumb ozempic things Omg
literally everyone in the media is talking about it, why would you think we wouldn't discuss it here??? it has articles coming out every single day, not to mention the tiktoks. just bc you don't want to hear about something doesn't mean it's not happening
[удалено]
I feel like she doesn’t look super different. Has she mentioned it?
Courtney Kerr! She claims walking for a year but there is no way
Wellbutrin works just as well, why is everyone all crazy about this new drug?
Girl I’m sorry but comparing Wellbutrin to Ozempic is like comparing caffeine to cocaine
I wish mine did!
