A reality star revealed her dramatic body transformation just six weeks after starting a GLP-1.<\/p>\n

Celebrity Big Brother U.K. star Trisha Paytas opened up about her weight-loss journey in an interview with People<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old American social media star, who has over 18 million followers across different platforms, turned to the popular appetite-suppressing drug as a last resort.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up on fast food and processed foods. I\u2019ve just always eaten out and always overate. Like I\u2019ve never felt full in my life,\u201d Paytas, whose rise to fame included participating in viral food challenge videos, said.<\/p>\n

Paytas said that welcoming three children in the span of four years caused her to gain 80 pounds.<\/p>\n

After the birth of her youngest, Aquaman, in July 2025, she tried to lose weight on her own for six months.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always tried to do it the natural way,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cI was starving myself, killing myself in the gym, like eating grapefruit for dinner, and I just was not losing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

After feeling like she had tried \u201ceverything else,\u201d she decided to give GLP-1s a shot.<\/p>\n

On May 11, Paytas opted for Zepbound<\/a>, the popular appetite-suppressing jab used by celebrities like Shaquille O\u2019Neal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been like six weeks now, and I went from 243 pounds to 217 pounds,\u201d Paytas said. \u201cIt truly is nothing short of miraculous for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

After successfully losing 26 pounds in her first weeks on the drug, Paytas became an ambassador for Ro, the telehealth company that first prescribed the medicine to her.<\/p>\n

Ro also sponsors her Just Trish<\/a> podcast, which Paytas co-hosts with her husband, Israeli artist Moses Hacmon.<\/p>\n

Paytas recalled struggling for years with overeating and persistent thoughts around food.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter I eat one meal, I already think of the next,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

But after starting the medication, she was still able to enjoy food\u2014just in smaller portions.<\/p>\n

For Paytas, the goal was never cosmetic but rather to improve her energy levels and overall well-being.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really care what weight I am,\u201d Paytas said. \u201cIt was more about how I felt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since starting treatment, Paytas has been exercising daily, combining cardio and Pilates.<\/p>\n

She is also more active with her children.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never ran before and I\u2019m just starting to run for the first time. It really has given me more energy, which is crazy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Paytas hopes to eventually drop her weight below 200 pounds for the first time in a decade and has even set her sights on completing a marathon next year.<\/p>\n

For Paytas, the medication has been life-changing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI eat a normal amount; I don\u2019t overthink food,\u201d she said. \u201cBecause I\u2019ve lived 38 years of my life obsessing about food, it would be nice to live the next 38 just thinking about food a normal amount.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paytas has no plans to get off the medicine any time soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a GLP-1\u2019s like a life thing for me,\u201d she said. \u201cI haven\u2019t been on that long, but I think I can see myself doing it for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A reality star revealed her dramatic body transformation just six weeks after starting a GLP-1.
