On Saturday night we headed for Corbett's Bar in Seatown were a very special 21st birthday party was taking place for Jason Breen from Lower Point Road and there to make sure he had a thoroughly enjoyable night were his parents Ann and Gerard, sister Michaela, grandparents Liam Breen and Geraldine Aspin and big crowd of family and friends.
I wasn't too long in the door when I met up with Jason who was in great form and wanted a big shout out for all his mates from Tesco in the Long Walk who were there to make sure he had an epic night.

I'm so happy with my Mounjaro body after dropping 4 stone but there's a side effect I hate & trolls say I ‘cheated'
SHE'S lost almost four stone since being on Mounjaro. But there's a side effect of the fat jabs that mum-of-two Sophie wasn't prepared for. Advertisement 6 Sophie has lost almost four stone since being on Mounjaro Credit: tiktok/@bargainlovingmam 6 But there's a side effect that she wasn't prepared for Credit: tiktok/@bargainlovingmam 6 Namely the fact that her bum has all but disappeared Credit: tiktok/@bargainlovingmam 6 But the positives of her weight loss journey far outweigh the downsides Credit: tiktok/@bargainlovingmam She Sophie then turned around and showed how her jeans looked from behind, as she said "there's nothing" where her bum used to be. "I have no ass!" she exclaimed. "Look at her!" Advertisement She then asked for recommendations for "jeans that give you an ass". Sophie added that she's bought two pairs of jeans from online retailer Halara that are on the way, but she doesn't know if they'll even fit. As she modelled her current jeans, in a size 12, she pulled at the denim round the bottom and thighs to show that there's very little filling it out. "So yeah any advice guys, because I've got no ass," she laughed. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous People in the comments were quick to offer their advice, with one writing: "Tesco jeans & River Island always work wonders for me!" "I LOVE River Island jeans!" Sophie replied. I'm on Mounjaro & having a kebab for dinner left me bedbound for 24 hours - but I'm trolled for not eating healthily "Think I'm going to have a nosey on Vinted for some - thanks babe!" "Next do lift & shape jeans," another said. Advertisement As a third recommended the "ASOS bum lift contour jeans". "Have you tried Tesco ones? They're super comfy!" someone else wrote. With Sophie responding: "Noooo I never go to the clothes section other than for the kids. "Will have to have a nosey!" Advertisement What to do if you lose too much weight too quickly whilst on Mounjaro IF you're losing too much weight too quickly while on Mounjaro, it's important to take action to avoid potential health risks like muscle loss, malnutrition, dehydration, and fatigue. Here's what you can do: Evaluate Your Caloric Intake Mounjaro reduces appetite, which can make it easy to eat too little. If you're losing weight too fast (more than two to three lbs per week after the initial adjustment period), try: Tracking your food intake to ensure you're eating enough calories (apps like MyFitnessPal can help). Increasing protein intake to preserve muscle mass (aim for 0.6–1g per pound of body weight). Adding healthy fats and complex carbs (e.g., avocados, nuts, whole grains) for balanced energy. Adjust Your Dosage (With Doctor's Approval) If your weight loss is too rapid or causing side effects, your doctor may: Pause dose increases or lower your dosage. Adjust your treatment plan to stabilise your weight loss. Strength Training & Exercise To prevent muscle loss: Incorporate resistance training at least two to three times per week. Stay active with low-impact exercises like walking or yoga. Hydrate & Manage Electrolytes Drink enough water (Mounjaro can reduce thirst). Electrolytes matter - Consider adding magnesium, sodium, and potassium if you feel weak or fatigued. Monitor for Malnutrition & Deficiencies Rapid weight loss can cause vitamin/mineral deficiencies (especially B12, iron, and electrolytes). If you experience: Fatigue, hair loss, or dizziness, ask your doctor about supplements. Consider Further Medical Guidance If your weight loss is excessive or causing health concerns, speak with your healthcare provider. They might adjust your dosage, diet, or exercise plan to help stabilise your weight loss. While Sophie has done incredibly well on her Mounjaro journey to date, her weight loss hasn't come without criticism. And Others have accused her of "taking the easy way" of losing weight, while some say she'll "put it all back on". "Don't lose anymore, you'll look ill!" is another one she's heard. Advertisement But Sophie hit back as she revealed the benefits she's found of losing weight, including the fact she's sleeping better, has more energy and has a "healthier relationship with food". Read more on the Irish Sun She's also four dress sizes down, mentally happier, able to run around after the kids and no longer binge eating. And one of the most important benefits - she's "finally happy looking in the mirror". 6 Sophie has faced criticism since she started on the weight loss injections Credit: tiktok/@bargainlovingmam Advertisement 6 But she does her best to ignore any trolling, urging other people to love the "body you're in" Credit: tiktok/@bargainlovingmam

Advertisement One person wrote: "Rimowa for people who can't afford a Rimowa." Another commented: 'I saw your TikTok and went straight to Tesco and got my hands on them, in looove." Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list. 'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.' 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver. 'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. 'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it." "I need these !! They aren't online," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Good job I have a clubcard." Advertisement "Ohhh I'm sold,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'Yes and they're unreal." Fabulous will pay for your exclusive stories.
