Rosie O'Donnell reveals dramatic weight loss after using Mounjaro; How safe is it for women in 60s?
The 63-year-old former star of 'The View' recently opened up about her weight loss journey and showcased her new, slimmer figure.
O'Donnell credited Mounjaro for her dramatic transformation in a recent Instagram post.
In her post, she shared a screenshot of a video taken of her onstage, where she wore dark pants and a light green sweater while holding a microphone and mic stand, appearing to engage with the audience. She captioned the photo, "I can't believe this is me now," and included the hashtags '#mounjaro,' '#weightloss,' and '#bodydismorphia.'
O'Donnell moved to Ireland a few months ago with her 12-year-old child, Clay. Sharing updates and insights about her weight loss journey, O'Donnell said in a TikTok video in March. 'I've lost more weight. I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes, and one of the side effects is weight loss." She added, "But it's also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles, and now I'm cooking for Clay and me.'
The 'Harriet the Spy' actress admitted she's 'always had a weight issue' as she discussed shopping for new clothes at a boutique in Dublin.
She shared that she had to shop in Dublin for new clothes that fit her better following her weight loss. Recounting her journey after years of battling weight issues, she said, "I'm one of those people who always had a weight issue, and now that I'm a size large—instead of an XL or a XXL—I find it shocking.
I really do. I find it completely shocking."
After suffering a heart attack in 2012, O'Donnell underwent vertical sleeve gastrectomy the following year.
She told People in 2015, 'That surgery changed my life,' revealing she dropped from 240 pounds down to 176.
In January 2023, O'Donnell revealed that her doctor had prescribed her Mounjaro and Repatha two months prior, with noticeable results already. She clarified, "One I take every other week and one I take once a week." At the she also shared, 'Christmas, I stopped drinking anything except water,' revealing she had already shed 10 pounds.
She added, 'I really stopped drinking like five or six Diet Cokes a day. All I drink is water now.
'
While she mostly credited Mounjaro for her physical transformation, O'Donnell also revealed some major lifestyle changes as well. Apart from the medication, she mentioned, 'My appetite has decreased significantly; it's probably the meds. And I'm trying to move more. So, all those things combined—that's what it is," she said at the time.
What is Mounjaro?
Approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for type 2 diabetes and packaged as an injection, Mounjaro (tirzepatide) has already sparked discussions over its effectiveness in managing weight, with some claiming it is superior to Ozempic, the popular weight loss drug. Tirzepatide is an antidiabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and for weight management and is administered via subcutaneous injections (under the skin).
In the United States, it is sold under the brand name Mounjaro for diabetes treatment and Zepbound for weight loss and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
Mounjaro is administered via weekly injections in the thigh, stomach, or arm. Several prominent figures, including Elon Musk, Meghan Trainor, and
Amy Schumer
, have publicly shared their experiences with the drug in recent months.
Is Mounjaro safe for women in their 60s?
Mounjaro is FDA-approved for treating type 2 diabetes, and its use has been studied in various age groups, including older adults, and there are no specific age restrictions mentioned in the Mounjaro prescribing information.
Mounjaro is generally considered safe for use in women in their 60s as well.
However, it is crucial to discuss it with a healthcare professional who can assess individual health risks, including any pre-existing conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors, to determine if Mounjaro is appropriate for them.

Explained: Why Shah Rukh Khan's Arm Is in A Cast In His National Award Video
Last Updated: Shah Rukh Khan won the Best Actor award at the 71st National Film Awards. He thanked his team and fans on Instagram, where he was seen with his arm in a cast. On Friday evening, Shah Rukh Khan added another feather to his cap, being named joint winner of the Best Actor award at the 71st National Film Awards. While fans celebrated his big win, many were quick to notice the actor's right arm was in a cast in a video he posted on Instagram. The Jawan star appeared dressed in a black polo t-shirt, black trousers, and a grey beanie as he expressed his gratitude to fans, family, and the team behind Jawan, including director Atlee. Khan said, 'I would love to spread my arms and share my love, but I am a bit indisposed. But don't worry! Just keep the popcorn ready. I will be back in theatres and soon on the screen." He even managed to pull off his iconic arms-wide pose — this time, with just one arm extended. The actor also poked fun at his injury in the caption accompanying the post, writing, 'Overwhelmed with the love showered upon me. Half a hug to everyone today." The injury, it turns out, was sustained during the shoot of his upcoming film King, which is being directed by Siddharth Anand. According to a report in Hindustan Times, the incident occurred while Khan was filming an intense sequence at a studio in Mumbai a few weeks ago. A source close to the production revealed, 'He was shooting in Mumbai when he was injured. The exact details of the injury are being held under wraps at the moment. It is more of a muscular injury and nothing serious. That being said, it is not being taken lightly. Shah Rukh has travelled to the US for medical attention. He has been suggested to take a one-month rest." Due to the injury, the shoot schedule for King, initially planned for July and August, has been temporarily put on hold. The film marks a special collaboration, as it will see Shah Rukh sharing screen space for the first time with his daughter, Suhana Khan. At the awards, Khan shared the Best Actor title with Vikrant Massey, recognised for his performance in 12th Fail, which also won Best Film. Rani Mukerji took home the Best Actress honour for Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
