I lost 5 stone on fat jabs & now look unrecognisable – I get hate & called an ‘Ozempic cheat' but they're just jealous
TikTok user Liv, who shares her journey under the handle @loseitwithliv, has amassed millions of views for her honest updates on her GLP-1 transformation.

Her latest before-and-after clip has left fans stunned.
The 11-million-view video shows the full extent of her progress, with Liv confidently showing off her new figure after dropping over 70 pounds.
But while her followers are quick to flood her comments with praise, not everyone is cheering her on.
Despite her hard work, Liv has faced cruel backlash from trolls who accuse her of 'cheating' her way thin with weight-loss injections.
Some have even mockingly dubbed her the 'Ozempic final boss' but she's not letting the haters get to her.
Instead, Liv is proudly owning her journey and refuses to let others dictate how she should feel about her body or her methods.
She's become a strong advocate for weight-loss jabs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, urging others not to feel ashamed of taking control of their health in whatever way works for them.
In fact, Liv admits that if she could change one thing about her transformation, it wouldn't be the jabs, it would be telling people about them.
She's been brutally honest about the intense judgement she's faced since sharing her use of GLP-1 medication, saying she sometimes wishes she'd just said she lost the weight through a calorie deficit and called it a day.
Liv built her platform on transparency, sharing every high and low along the way, but now feels that some of the hate she's received could have been avoided if she'd kept her lips sealed.
I've lost nearly 6 stone in 9 months on fat jabs - trolls call me 'lazy' & say it's the 'easy way out' but I don't care
Still, she's not letting that stop her.
Her message is clear – your body, your business.
She's continuing to post her progress and empower other women to take control of their own health, regardless of how others feel about it.
For Liv, the results speak for themselves and she's never felt more confident.
Fans regularly flood her comments with support, saying they're inspired by her bravery and honesty, with many thanking her for encouraging them to look into the treatment themselves.
And as far as Liv's concerned, the critics can say what they like, she's happy, healthy, and looking better than ever.
She's far from the only one facing backlash for using weight-loss jabs.
Actor and dad George Keywood also hit back at trolls who called him a 'lazy cheat' after he l ost six stone in 11 months with Mounjaro.
The People Just Do Nothing star, once 23st, says he's faced relentless online abuse, from people mocking his marriage to making vile comments about his sex life even after turning his health around.
George says he was close to developing diabetes before starting the jabs, but now he's down 40kg, barely feels hungry, and has totally overhauled his lifestyle.
His wife Sienna says the change has been 'huge', with George now able to go on full days out with their son.
Despite the online hate, George says he's not trying to impress anyone, he's doing it to stay alive and be there for his family.
Everything you need to know about fat jabs
Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases.
Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK.
Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market.
Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year.
How do they work?
The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight.
They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists.
They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high.
Can I get them?
NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics.
Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure.
GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss.
Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk.
Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health.
Are there any risks?
Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild.
Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea.
Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at patient.info, said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.'
Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia.
Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health.
Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines.

US health secretary Kennedy's vaccine actions and policy positions
July 23 (Reuters) - U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a long-time vaccine skeptic, has been making sweeping changes to reshape vaccine, food and medicine policies. The most far-reaching of his moves culminated in the layoff of all 17 members of a panel of vaccine experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Here are some of the vaccine-related policy moves under Kennedy's leadership in recent months: Date of Announcement: March 13, 2025 Details: U.S. FDA independently recommends virus strains for 2025-2026 influenza vaccines, deviating from traditional advisory committee voting. Date of Announcement: April 16, 2025 Details: Kennedy plans a series of studies on link between autism and environmental factors, including mold, air, water and food. He said, without any scientific evidence, that "environmental toxins" are responsible for the rise in autism rates among children in the U.S. Date of Announcement: May 7, 2025 Details: Federal agencies will create a database to research causes of autism, focusing on Medicare and Medicaid data, as part of a broader effort to explore potential links between vaccines and autism. Date of Announcement: May 20, 2025 Details: The FDA plans new trials for annual COVID-19 boosters, limiting them to older adults and those at risk of severe illness. This change aligns with international perspectives on COVID vaccination strategies. Date of Announcement: May 27, 2025 Details: The U.S. stops recommending routine COVID vaccinations for pregnant women and healthy children, bypassing the CDC's traditional advisory process. Date of Announcement: May 28, 2025 Details: The Trump administration cancels a contract with Moderna (MRNA.O), opens new tab for the late-stage development of its bird flu vaccine, after determining it did not meet scientific standards. Date of Announcement: June 9, 2025 Details: Kennedy fires all members of the CDC vaccine expert panel, which recommends how vaccines are used and by whom, promising to restore public trust in health agencies. Scientists and experts say the changes would undermine public confidence in health agencies. Date of Announcement: June 11, 2025 Details: Kennedy names eight members to serve on a key panel of vaccine advisers, including several who have advocated against vaccines, after abruptly firing all 17 members of the independent committee of experts. Date of announcement: June 23 Details: The new members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will begin a two-day meet with a revamped agenda which includes discussions on vaccines containing the preservative thimerosal. Date of announcement: July 23 Details: The United States will stop distributing all influenza vaccines that contain mercury-based preservative thimerosal, as Kennedy accepts the vaccine panel's recommendation given in June.

No more sagging, wrinkles, or crepey skin! Smooth your neck with 23% off the firming cream that boosts collagen and erases turkey neck for good
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Have you checked out your neck lately? If you aren't exactly thrilled by lines, sagging, or a crepey texture, you're not alone. Because it's naturally thinner and more delicate, the neck is one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging. Add in years of neglect (most of us stop at the jawline when applying skin care), and it's no wonder the neck is so vulnerable. Fortunately, there's an easy fix. The Eight Saints Firm Intentions Neck Cream is a rich, dreamy formula specifically designed to nourish, smooth, and firm the neck area. Eight Saints Firm Intentions Neck Cream This rich, ultra-nourishing cream is designed specifically for the delicate neck area, helping to smooth fine lines, firm sagging skin, and restore lost elasticity. It's packed with powerful ingredients like protein peptides, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin B5 to deeply hydrate and strengthen over time. With consistent use, it can visibly improve crepey texture and help your neck look as youthful as the rest of your skin! $34 (save 23%) Shop The luxurious texture melts right into your skin, delivering deep hydration without any sticky residue — and making it perfect for daily use at any time of the day Normally $44, the cream is currently marked down to just $34 on Amazon. It's a savings of 23 percent — and an amazing deal for a product that can make a visible difference to your neck's texture and appearance. At the top of the list are protein peptides, which support the skin's natural elasticity. That's key to slowing the formation of lines and wrinkles, which naturally develop as collagen production slows with age. That also causes the skin to become looser and more lax, leading to the telltale sagging and crepiness that seem to just creep up on you. The peptides have a strengthening effect, making the skin firmer and more resilient. Vitamin B5 also plays a starring role in the Eight Saints treatment. It attracts and holds moisture while helping improve your skin's softness, texture, and barrier function. Of course, it wouldn't be a true powerhouse without hyaluronic acid. It delivers serious hydration on contact, locking in water to keep your skin looking plump and feeling silky-smooth. As you might expect, Firm Intentions has an incredible consistency. It's thick and luxurious, which is exactly what you want when you're trying to pamper a neglected area that needs some generous TLC. A reviewer summed it up, stating: 'Silky, rich, and absorbs wonderfully. For such a rich cream, it absorbs amazingly well and doesn't leave behind a tacky feeling.' Hundreds of five-star reviews back up the cream's stellar reputation, many of which rave about the visible improvement in both tone and texture with consistent use. 'After two weeks of morning and night application I definitely am feeling some tightening in my neck area, and I feel like the lines are less noticeable,' commented one shopper. 'My face has no wrinkles so my neck was really giving my age away,' another added. 'This cream is magic! I've been using it for about two weeks and I am amazed at the difference.' Even better, the formula is fragrance-free, cruelty-free, and in line with the Eight Saints philosophy of using only the most essential and effective ingredients to treat skin — the 'eight saints' of skin care, to be precise. Whether you're already religious about your neck care routine or you're just now realizing it deserves a dedicated product, the Eight Saints Firm Intentions Neck Cream is a worthy investment that could be exactly what your skin needs!

Washington state hides how many people die by assisted suicide
Washington state will no longer release data on how many people choose to die by assisted suicide. The Washington State Department of Health (DoH) has scrapped its annual report showing how many people are choosing an assisted death, blaming budget limitations. By law, the health service is required to publish a yearly report that breaks down the number of deaths by age and demographics. It also includes accounts of the reasons patients choose an assisted death, which campaigners have said are an 'essential' guardrail to ensure vulnerable people are not being coerced into ending their lives. However, the health service said it has taken the 'difficult decision' to suspend producing the report to free up staff to 'prioritise patient safety and other critical work'. The move has sparked dismay among doctors and disability rights campaigners who warned that it creates 'serious risks of abuse'. Dr Ramona Coelho, a family medicine practitioner based in London, Ontario, told The Telegraph: 'An accountable assisted suicide regime requires oversight. 'Assisted suicide is not a medical decision; it is a legal act, with specific eligibility criteria and procedural safeguards that must be met. 'A lack of reporting creates serious risks of abuse, negligence, and erosion of public trust.' 'Transparency is essential' Experts have warned that scrapping reporting will lead to a lack of oversight of assisted deaths in the state. 'When the state plays a role in the premature deaths of its own citizens, transparency isn't optional – it's essential. But without full, accessible data on assisted suicide, the public can't know whether cases are rising or falling, or if vulnerable groups are disproportionately affected,' said Rebecca Vachon, the director for Health at Cardus. 'So, this isn't just a data issue; it's a question of life and death. If anything needs to be cut, it's assisted suicide itself – not the public's right to know.' Jessica Rodgers, a director at Patients Rights Action Fund, said scrapping reporting could lead to abuses going unreported. 'This data, which consistently shows patients request lethal drugs for reasons of disability, not wanting to be a burden and concerns around the costs of treatment, is the foundation of accountability,' she said. 'Simply to ignore this provision begs the question of what else is ignored and what abuses remain unreported.' 'No longer following own laws' Alexander Raikin, bioethics expert at the Ethics and Public Policy Centre, said the decision represents one of 'the largest assisted suicide programmes in the United States no longer following its own laws'. The state adopted the Death with Dignity Act in 2009, becoming the second US state after Oregon to legalise assisted dying. The law, which allowed terminally ill adults to request medication to end their lives, was expanded in 2023 to reduce the 15-day waiting period to receive lethal drugs to seven days, and allow nurses to prescribe and mail medication to patients. Since passing the legislation, the number of people in the state who have opted for an assisted death every year has increased by more than 500 per cent to 524 people, according to 2023 figures. While the most common age to choose an assisted death in Washington is between 75 and 84, there were 28 people aged under 54 who died under the scheme in 2023. The DoH has been locked in a funding battle over the Death with Dignity programme, which cost $225,000 in 2025. In a policy document, the department argued that current funding levels are 'insufficient to deliver data and reporting that reflect the department's commitment to data usability and transparency'. As a result, the DoH said it has made 'reductions', including ending its annual reporting.
