But now, she's shed almost half her weight at just 9st thanks to the injection. Megan said she had now lost 7st10lbs forever and had now been off the drug for eight weeks. She said: "Not taking Mounjaro anymore but I've stuck to calorie counting to maintain and so far so good." Last week, she updated the post saying it was seven weeks since coming off and felt 'surprisingly good.' She added: "Surprisingly feeling good. I was really nervous about coming off but I've been pleasantly surprised. "Been on holiday for a week too. I know it's only early days of maintenance still but so far so good all about mental mindset now." Megan also revealed that she did no exercise while on the drug or while maintaining her new weight loss without it. She said: I haven't done any. My problem is I work from home so once I've finished work I find it hard to get motivated to do anything. "I'm active in the sense that I'm out and about on a weekend but nothing gym-wise." I went on fat jabs but the hair loss was unbelievable so I quit - I'd rather be chubby with hair than skinny and bald While it might have worked for Megan, you should always exercise while taking weight loss jabs. Drugs like Mounjaro don't just make your body lose fat but also muscle mass. Keeping up with a healthy diet and regular exercise will help manage muscle loss while shedding pounds. The post was shared on the Facebook group, mounjaro ozempic wegovy weight loss support, and many congratulated Megan on her weight loss journey. One person wrote: "You look amazing!! Well done you!" Another commented: "You look fantastic. I bet people don't recognise you." "Congratulations well done," 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. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Brilliant transformation & well done maintaining." "You look incredible,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "You look absolutely fabulous, congratulations beautiful lady."
