A WOMAN has shared how she regained her ”health and life” after dropping 7st with Mounjaro.
Numerous experts and NHS medics have warned about the dangers of fat jabs and say they shouldn’t be taken without a prescription.

Blonde beauty, only known as Prinsess Dai on TikTok, explained that before she embarked on her weight loss journey with the so-called ”fat loss jabs” she felt ”unhealthy and depressed”.
The Disney fan, from Hawaii, started using Mounjaro 11 months ago topping the scales at 17st and has so far dropped a whopping 7st.
Although according to the woman many warned her about the ”bad side effects” the jabs have, she said the only side effect was ”losing 100 lbs in 11 months” – which has totally transformed her.
Sharing the jaw-dropping makeover on her page, she hit back at the critics and trolls: ”GLP-1 biggest side effect is losing 100 lbs in 11 months, regaining my health and my life and fitting in all my clothes again.”
”It’s so noticeable how healthier I am when I have to go up and down my house! Incredible,” she couldn’t get over the amazing results in the video.
Although the blonde beauty now feels better than ever, shedding the huge weight has left with her sagging skin around her arms and tummy – which she’s considering to tackle with surgery.
She told TikTok users: ”Don’t have horrible amounts but it’s definitely there.
”It’s mostly because I’m in 40s and I’ve yo-yo diet my whole life.”
Chuffed with the epic transformation, she went on: ”Life doesn’t stop when you aren’t happy with your weight but after starting my GLP-1 journey it sure can get better once you start feeling happier and healthier.”
”I always made sure I embodied my personality but now I feel more like fully who I am.”
Mounjaro, known as the King Kong of jabs, is to be rolled out on the NHS.
Sun GP Dr Zoe Williams says it can save the lives of people with “life-threatening levels of obesity”.
But the NHS website warns: “Never take an anti-obesity medicine if it has not been prescribed to you. These types of medicines may not be safe for you and can cause serious side effects.”
About half a million Brits take weight loss drugs – and that number is expected to double in the next year.
Mounjaro is said to suppress the appetite, making people feel fuller for longer.
Weight loss injections are licensed for patients with type 2 diabetes and to assist those who are clinically obese – with a Body Mass Index of 30 or over.
One jab is administered each week but the duration is dependent on a person’s weight.
The drugs can be lawfully supplied only when prescribed by a practitioner – like a doctor, nurse or a pharmacist-independent prescriber.
But many people are buying them through online pharmacies with insufficient checks.
Earlier this year, figures from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency revealed fat jabs had been linked to 82 deaths across the UK.
And the family of a man from Burton upon Trent, Staffs, who died after taking Mounjaro are calling for a probe into the jab’s “potential to kill”.
Big divide
The stunner’s weight loss journey has racked up more than 34k likes on the platform.
But social media users were left totally divided – whilst many praised the makeover and thought she looked ”incredible”, not everyone was as keen on the idea of using fat loss jabs to shed the pounds.
One viewer shared their horrific experience, writing: ”So glad it worked for you. My side effect was going blind in right eye.”
Someone else thought: ”it’s aged you 20 years, the slower you lose weight the better.”
But another praised: ”Wow you must feel so healthy and so much easier to do stairs – congrats!”
”Omg…you look amazing,well done keep up the good work,” a social media user added.
The dark side of Mounjaro
Last year it was revealed that Scots nurse Susan McGowan, 58, died after taking low-dose injections of Mounjaro over a fortnight.
A probe also found that nearly 400 people have gone to hospital after taking weight loss drugs.
Side effects include nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea leading to severe dehydration.
But doctors say they have also seen “life-threatening complications”, including seizures, bowel obstruction and inflammation of the pancreas.
Model Lottie Moss, 27, also said she had a seizure after taking high doses of Ozempic.
The makers of Mounjaro, Lilly UK, said patient safety is its “top priority”.
Lilly UK stressed: “Regulatory agencies conduct extensive independent assessments of the benefits and risks of every new medicine and Lilly is committed to continually monitoring, evaluating, and reporting safety data.
“If anyone is experiencing side effects when taking any Lilly medicine, they should talk to their doctor or other healthcare professional.”
