Sophie says she's "finally happy looking in the mirror" after shedding the weight through fat jabs BUM NOTE I'm so happy with my Mounjaro body after dropping 4 stone but there's a side effect I hate & trolls say I 'cheated' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) 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. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 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 took to TikTok to explain the downside of the injections, as she said: "I've lost not far off four stone now, but I've lost something else too..." 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!" 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. 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. 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!" 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 in another TikTok, she shared some of the remarks she's heard since she started the injections, including "Mounjaro is cheating". 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. 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". 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

Mum on Mounjaro gets slated for ‘traumatising' daughter as she shows toddler pretending to inject herself with fat jabs
A MUM on Mounjaro has sparked backlash online after sharing a video of her toddler daughter pretending to inject herself with fat jabs. The woman has been documenting her weight loss on her social media pages, after initially losing 70lbs back in 2013. Advertisement 2 A mum has sparked backlash online after sharing a video of her daughter pretending to inject herself with a fat jab Credit: tiktok//@retinolandraisins 2 The woman hit back at trolls as she insisted she has tried to lose weight naturally before, and is now making a "healthier decision" for herself on Mounjaro Credit: tiktok//@retinolandraisins Since then, she has had two daughters, and after each pregnancy the weight gain has "gotten worse", despite her "desperate" attempts to shed the pounds. So she now uses the GLP-1 drug Mounjaro to help her stay on top of her weight loss. However, it seems her youngest daughter has been keeping a close eye on exactly what her mum has been doing. So much so that when she picked up an empty container shaped somewhat like a syringe, she lifted up her top and proceeded to pretend to 'inject' herself in the stomach. Advertisement Read more Mounjaro stories "POV: Mom is on Mounjaro," she wrote over the top of the video, which has had more than She added in the caption "#glp1 #glp1forweightloss". However, people immediately flooded the comments section to take aim at the woman, with many slamming her for allowing her daughter to see her when she does her weekly jab. "That's so sad," one raged. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous "What in the generational trauma is going on here then?" another asked. "Why would she see this?" a third questioned. I'm on Mounjaro & having a kebab for dinner left me bedbound for 24 hours - but I'm trolled for not eating healthily "Question - why are you doing this in front of your kids?" someone else wrote. "Nope. In the same way I don't let my children see my bathroom scales. They should never see this," another insisted. Advertisement But for all those criticising the Mounjaro mum, there were others standing up for her. "Nothing wrong with watching mum get healthy," one hit back. "My son would breastfeed his dolls - kids are cute!" another said. "The comments here are crazy! Since when is it negative to get healthier??" a third marvelled.

"Mama don't worry about what people say, I wouldn't waste my time replying to them" another pointed out. Advertisement "If it wasn't Mounjaro, people wouldn't have a problem with it." "Don't pay attention to the negative comments. I see a precious wee baby copying her mummy trying to take care of herself," someone else said. "And I see a wee baby who's learning that sometimes we need injections and they're nothing to be afraid of." The mum then responded to the backlash herself, as she wrote - in a remark written with the help of ChatGPT - "I appreciate everyone's concern for the well-being of children. Advertisement "It's clear that people care deeply, and that truly matters. "Since we're all thinking about the safety and health of kids, I invite you to channel that compassion into action by supporting the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund (PCRF). "They provide vital medical care and support to children affected by conflict. "You can learn more or donate at Every bit helps."

"Especially faceless keyboard warriors." "I, like millions of other people, have gone through hell and back," she said "So I'll be damned if I let you or anybody else make me feel bad for making a healthier decision for myself."
