Rosie O'Donnell, 63, shocks fans with a VERY trim size 12 shape thanks to 'life saver' weight loss drug Mounjaro
Rosie O'Donnell is marveling at the slimmed down figure she has achieved with the help of weight loss drug Mounjaro. The former talk show host, 63, has been taking the drug since late 2022, yet remains in disbelief over how far she has come. In her latest Instagram post, Rosie revealed she is now a size 12 - and praised the drug as a 'life saver'. Rosie showed off her dramatic results as she went shopping for a new travel outfit, her slimmed down body on display in a fitted black track suit. 'ok so went shopping to but a comfy lounge wear outfit for my 22 hour flight to australia- was undecided as i cant see myself in this new smaller body- cam n robin took this photo of me in the dressing room - i am shocked im a 12 - #mounjaro is a life saver,' she gushed in the caption. Fans were equally impressed in the comments, with one merely stating 'WOW' (along with a few emojis) in response to the picture. Kristin Chenoweth also chimed in, writing: 'You look amazing!' Another wrote: 'It is a life changing med! Not only does it help you lose weight but decreases the inflammation in your body so you feel so much better. Rosie - you look great and hope you feel great too!!' One complimented her: ''I've been needing this for years but my insurance won't cover it. You look awesome-although your Beautiful soul shines through in ANY body.' Mounjaro 'is an injectable prescription medicine that is used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar (glucose) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus,' per the official website. Back in March of this year, O'Donnell talked about her 'shocking' new size after taking the medication. In a TikTok video uploaded at the time, she explained to her followers: 'I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes and one of the side effects is you lose weight. 'But [the weight loss] is also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles and I don't have a chef now. It's me cooking for [my child] Clay and me.' The TV personality then recalled how she went to a clothing store in Dublin and revealed she was a size large after previously wearing sizes XL or XXL. 'I find it shocking. I really do. I find it completely shocking,' the mom-of-five expressed. Being on Mounjaro has not only aided her in losing weight, but has made her feel 'healthier' and she is also 'sleeping better.' Back in January 2023, Rosie revealed she had been prescribed the medication and credited it with helping her drop 10 pounds during the holiday season. While taking her child to school, the star explained on TikTok: 'I need to let you know I've lost 10lbs since Christmas.' She added that she had been taking Mounjaro after a fan commented, 'You can't drop a bomb like that and not tell us HOW???' Rosie stated, 'Okay, so like two months ago, my doctor put me on... not Ozempic, Mounjaro? Something like that, and Repath.' She added, 'One I do every other week, and one I do once a week. And that and on Christmas, I stopped drinking anything except water. 'Now I have had champagne one night, that was a toast, and some wine one night, so it hasn't been 100% but I really stopped drinking like five or six Diet Coke's a day.' Rosie now only sticks to drinking water and has reduced her sugar intake while also sharing, 'And my appetite has decreased significantly. 'It's probably the meds, and I'm trying to move more, so all of those things combined, that's what it is.' In a recent weight loss update, she continued to marvel at her results with a photo of her doing stand-up. In the caption of the picture, the star penned to her followers: 'i cant believe this is me now #mounjaro #weightloss #bodydismorphia.'

Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira wows in nude dress after 50lb weight loss
Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira showed off her astonishing weight loss in a nude dress that accentuated her slimmed-down figure this week. The 28-year-old starred on the first two seasons of the hit HBO show before she left in 2022, explaining later that she 'wanted to be able to not be the fat best friend.' She debuted her stunningly reduced frame last year after losing about 50lbs, and has neither confirmed nor denied the Ozempic rumors that have swirled around her since. This Wednesday, she made her presence felt at a star-studded Netflix party in Los Angeles promoting the streaming service's new Lena Dunham sitcom Too Much. Although Barbie herself is not on the show, she was a showstopping figure at the knees-up in its honor, modeling a dress that stressed her impressively flat midriff. With a neckline that dipped to offer up a generous helping of cleavage, the sleeveless dress fell flatteringly around her hourglass physique. She could be seen mingling with some of the other guests at the fete, including Lukas Gage, who is best known for season one of The White Lotus. Barbie also posed for a group shot at the event with Too Much's leading lady Megan Stalter and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Chelsea Peretti. After shooting to fame as Kat on the first two seasons of Euphoria, Barbie left the show because she felt her character had reached a dead end. 'I don't think there was a place for her to go,' she said on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard in 2023, the year after her departure from the series. 'I think there were places she could have gone. I just don't think it would have fit into the show,' the New York City native explained. 'I don't know if it was going to do her justice, and I think both parties knew that I really wanted to be able to not be the fat best friend. I don't want to play that, and I think they didn't want that either,' Barbie added. After she went public with her astonishing weight loss late last year, a source exclusively told that she had shed the pounds for her career. 'Since she quit Euphoria, the opportunities have been drying up for Barbie and she knew that a reinvention was necessary to maintain longevity,' said the insider. 'In order to get roles in Hollywood, you've got to look the part and as shallow as that sounds, it is, unfortunately, true,' the source observed. 'She lost the weight to revitalize her career and better highlight her talents. She has such a strong drive to succeed in the industry and is incredibly talented.' Her decision to flaunt her new figure on Instagram 'was a way of saying, "Hey this is me now and I am ready to work,"' the insider added. 'She wants to be able to play sexy parts too and will do what it takes to succeed. Ozempic can offer a really easy way to achieve this.'
