A woman who lost five stone in six months after taking Mounjaro has shared the negative effects of the rapid weight loss<\/a> – including being unable to perform one very common beauty ritual.<\/p>\n

Emilly Jane, from Liverpool,\u00a0 has racked up an impressive 70,000 combined followers on TikTok<\/a>\u00a0and Instagram after sharing details of her weight loss while on\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Mounjaro.<\/p>\n

She is pleased with her progress, and regularly posts ‘before and after’ pictures comparing herself prior to losing weight and now – after shedding more than 11 stone, or close to 70 kg.<\/p>\n

But Emilly told her followers there are downsides to the drug that ‘no one talks about’.<\/p>\n

In a candid video, she said: ‘I’ve lost 11 st 4 lbs and I’ve lost 5 st 2 lbs of that in 28 weeks on Mounjaro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘Number one is: your brain doesn’t catch up with how others are seeing you.<\/p>\n

‘So, it’s taken my head a lot longer to accept that that’s me. I still look at pictures and think “Oh my goodness, who’s that?”‘<\/p>\n

It’s true that people who experience rapid weight loss in a relatively short time period struggle to adjust to the social conventions of their new weight.<\/p>\n

Emily, pictured before and after Mounjaro, has lost an astonishing 11 st 4 lbs (70 kg) overall<\/p>\n

On top of this, looking so drastically different can create dissonance between how people perceive themselves, and how they actually look and are treated.<\/p>\n

‘It’s very, very strange and hard to navigate,’ continued Emilly, before moving on to the next after effect.<\/p>\n

‘I am now visible to other people,’ she said. ‘Certain types of people as well, and I don’t like it.’<\/p>\n

Likely alluding to men who display a romantic interest in her, Emilly joked: ‘I would like an invisibility cloak back, please, which is what I had when I was bigger.<\/p>\n

‘I don’t like it. Stop looking at me and interacting with me – I am socially awkward.’<\/p>\n

A surprising item on Emilly’s cons list was her sudden inability to perform a very common beauty ritual – shaving her underarms.<\/p>\n

‘I can no longer shave my armpits with ease,’ she said. ‘If you see red marks under my arms in my pictures and videos, just mind your business.’<\/p>\n

Although it sounds unusual underarms typically become hollow or concave after weight loss, making it much harder to find a smooth surface to shave on.<\/p>\n

Emilly (pictured) said that since taking the medication, she has found it difficult to shave her underarms that are now hollow and concave\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those who have gone from overweight to comparatively skinny have actually reported more difficulty shaving in other areas after they become bonier – like the knees and ankles.<\/p>\n

Emilly said: ‘Having loose skin makes it really, really difficult to set a “goal” and feel “happy” at a “goal weight”. It’s a nightmare.’<\/p>\n

She said people now comment on her weight more than they ever have in her life.<\/p>\n

Fed up with the interference, she added: ‘Apparently, it’s up to everybody else to choose a goal for me and tell me that it’s time to stop.’<\/p>\n

Of her new-found boniness, Emilly said: ‘Lying in the bath is no longer comfortable. There appears to be hard things that stick into the bath. I don’t like it.’<\/p>\n

Lastly, the Mounjaro-user noted the vast amounts she spends on clothing, only to render them unwearable by shedding even more weight, and being unsure how to dress herself.<\/p>\n

‘I still have a mental breakdown every time I get dressed because I’ve got no identity,’ she said.<\/p>\n

‘I don’t know what to wear. I don’t know what I can and can’t wear, and it’s very confusing.<\/p>\n

Emilly also alludes to receiving unwanted attention from men, claiming she has wants her ‘invisibility cloak back’<\/p>\n

‘If you’re thinking about starting Mounjaro or you’re on a Mounjaro journey, make sure you assess all these things first.’<\/p>\n

Weight loss drugs have long since been a topic of conversation, but since ‘fat jabs’ like Ozempic and Mounjaro came on the scene<\/a>, talk of diet methods has been swirling online.<\/p>\n

And although the efficacy of natural routes has been called into question, many traditionalists believe taking injections to lose weight is ‘cheating’ or ‘lazy’.<\/p>\n

A woman who lost four stone without the help of any weight loss drugs has insisted that ‘volume eating’ is the way to go.<\/p>\n

Ashleigh Wilson shared her full plate of lunch that included chicken flatbread with vegetables on TikTok, insisting she’d feel ‘sickly full’ after it.<\/p>\n

But the 26-year-old from Blackpool claimed that despite the meal being large in size, it was low in calories.<\/p>\n

The respectable volume also meant that she ‘will not be going to that snack cupboard’ later as she will not be feeling peckish.<\/p>\n

The influencer, who once weighed 15st 8lbs, said: ‘So I’ve now lost four stone and if anybody asks me how I did that, I always talk about volume eating.<\/p>\n

‘This whole plate is 398 calories and just over 40 grams of protein. It’s just chicken flatbread and veggies.<\/p>\n

‘So beetroot, cucumber, tomato, onion and then some chicken breast I seasoned and chopped up and put over it. I will eat this and I will probably feel sickly full after it.<\/p>\n

‘However, best believe I will not be going to that snack cupboard, and I’ll be fine, more than fine, until dinner time. If you want to lose weight, start with volume eating.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman who lost five stone in six months after taking Mounjaro has shared the negative effects of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18631,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[97,519,59,102,103,617,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-18630","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health","8":"tag-dailymail","9":"tag-femail","10":"tag-gb","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-instagram","13":"tag-tiktok","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
