After being on Mounjaro for six months, she shared the things she wish she knew before starting her journey.
In the clip, she said: "The weight won't magically come off, you need to have a lifestyle change."
She said walking and a calorie deficit were vital to shift weight even with the help of the fat loss jab.
Kathryn also warned that you won't notice the weight loss on yourself for months even if it is happening.
"That being said, my face was the first place I noticed it," she explained.
Kathryn also had some advice for those dealing with negative side effects of the drug.
She said: "Drink at least 3 litres of water a day, trust me. It makes the world of difference for how you feel day to day and helps numerous side effects."
After losing 4st, she also revealed fibre was super important to help shift the weight.
With weight loss jabs, many people feel less hungry so struggle to eat enough fibre.
But Kathryn recommended fibre supplements to make sure you get the daily recommendation.
I lost 98lb on Mounjaro but it's surprise side benefit that is life-changing
"I'm a terrible veg eater so I get mine mainly through vitamins, oats or fibre bars you can buy at the shops. Graze do one that is sticky toffee pudding flavour and it's great," she added.
Kathryn also warned those going on the drug not to totally restrict what they eat and drink.
She said you can have everything in moderation instead of changing your whole diet.
The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @kathrynelizabethx with over 160k views and 2,000 likes.
People were quick to share their experiences in the comments.
One person wrote: "My nausea is so bad for the first two days and I have absolutely no appetite whatsoever! I feel like I can't win."
Another commented: "Completely agree with all of this! I'm at the end of my 5th week and lost 18lbs. Feeling good, and both myself and friends have said they can see a difference."
"Do you still have to drink water even if you've got no side effects?" penned a third.
What are the other side effects of weight loss jabs?
Like any medication, weight loss jabs can have side effects.
Common side effects of injections such as Ozempic include:
Nausea: This is the most commonly reported side effect, especially when first starting the medication. It often decreases over time as your body adjusts.
Vomiting: Can occur, often in conjunction with nausea.
Diarrhea: Some people experience gastrointestinal upset.
Constipation: Some individuals may also experience constipation.
Stomach pain or discomfort: Some people may experience abdominal pain or discomfort.
Reduced appetite: This is often a desired effect for people using Ozempic for weight loss.
Indigestion: Can cause a feeling of bloating or discomfort after eating.
Serious side effects can also include:
Pancreatitis: In rare cases, Ozempic may increase the risk of inflammation of the pancreas, known as pancreatitis, which can cause severe stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting.
Kidney problems: There have been reports of kidney issues, including kidney failure, though this is uncommon.
Thyroid tumors: There's a potential increased risk of thyroid cancer, although this risk is based on animal studies. It is not confirmed in humans, but people with a history of thyroid cancer should avoid Ozempic.
Vision problems: Rapid changes in blood sugar levels may affect vision, and some people have reported blurry vision when taking Ozempic.
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Especially if used with other medications like sulfonylureas or insulin.
Kathryn replied: "Yes! I found that the days I haven't drunk enough water I get the side effects the next day. It's a vicious cycle."
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Looking fabulous! Well done!"
"You look amazing,' claimed a fifth
Someone else added: "My favourite part is scaring the daylights out of people I've not seen in a year. I'm a new me."

Ten Britons dead after developing worrying side effects to popular fat jabs as medicines watchdog investigates why this is happening
Ten Britons have died after complaining of side effects from fat jabs, sparking an urgent probe into the safety of weight-loss drugs. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said it was investigating after hundreds developed pancreatitis after using the jabs. The MHRA is examining whether those affected have a genetic trait that is leaving them at a greater risk of side effects from the likes of Mounjaro, Wegovy and Ozempic. The medicines watchdog said it has received more than 560 reports of patients developing an inflamed pancreas after taking GLP-1 injections since they were first launched. Ten cases proved fatal. These drugs are typically known as 'fat jabs' or 'skinny jabs' as they are frequently used for weight management, but many are primarily licensed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The MHRA is now calling for users who are admitted to hospital with pancreatitis to report the side effect to authorities using the regulator's Yellow Card scheme. Healthcare workers can also submit a report on patients' behalf. When a Yellow Card report is received, the MHRA will contact patients to ask if they would be willing to take part in the new Biobank study in collaboration with Genomics England. This would involve sharing more information and sending a saliva sample to explore whether genetic make-up puts patients at a higher risk of acute pancreatitis on GLP-1 jabs. Researchers hope this will ultimately enable doctors to use rapid genetic screening tests before prescribing drugs to make the process safer. Side effects continue to be a significant burden on the NHS and studies have shown they account for roughly 6.5 per cent of all hospital admissions in the UK. The main symptom of pancreatitis is severe pain in the stomach that radiates to the back and does not go away. Anyone who experiences this should seek immediate medical help. Dr Alison Cave, MHRA's chief safety officer, said: 'Evidence shows that almost a third of side effects to medicines could be prevented with the introduction of genetic testing. It is predicted that adverse drug reactions could cost the NHS more than £2.2billion a year in hospital stays alone. 'Information from the Yellow Card Biobank will help us to better predict those most at risk of adverse reactions - enabling patients across the UK to receive the safest medicine for them, based on their genetic makeup. 'To help us help you, we're asking anyone who has been hospitalised with acute pancreatitis while taking a GLP-1 medicine to report this to us via our Yellow Card scheme. 'Even if you don't meet the criteria for this phase of the Biobank study, information about your reaction to a medication is always extremely valuable in helping to improve patient safety.' Recent estimates suggest that about 1.5million patients in the UK are taking weight loss jabs, many of which are bought privately due to NHS rationing. Health officials have suggested that they can help to turn the tide on obesity, but have stressed they are not a silver bullet and do come with side effects. Most side effects linked to the jabs are gastrointestinal including nausea, constipation and diarrhoea. However, the medical regulator recently warned that Mounjaro may make the oral contraceptive pill less effective in some patients. The MHRA said it has been notified of 181 cases of acute and chronic pancreatitis linked to tirzepatide - the active ingredient in Mounjaro. Of these, five people died. There have been 116 reported reactions of this kind linked to liraglutide, one of which was fatal, and 113 cases of acute and chronic pancreatitis linked to semaglutide - the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, with one death. Some 101 reported reactions of this kind are linked to exenatide, with three deaths, and 52 reported reactions of this sort linked to dulaglutide and 11 reported reactions to lixisenatide. There were no reported fatalities from pancreatitis linked to the last two drugs. There have been further reactions and deaths linked to other side-effects following the use of GLP-1 medicines. The MHRA stresses that it has not been established that the jabs caused the illnesses, but that the patients themselves have reported them as side effects. Professor Matt Brown, chief scientific officer of Genomics England, said: 'GLP-1 medicines like Ozempic and Wegovy have been making headlines, but like all medicines there can be a risk of serious side effects. 'We believe there is real potential to minimise these with many adverse reactions having a genetic cause. 'This next step in our partnership with the MHRA will generate data and evidence for safer and more effective treatment through more personalised approaches to prescription, supporting a shift towards an increasingly prevention-focused healthcare system.'
