Gogglebox’s Amy Tapper reveals glamorous new look following her incredible 8st weight loss after using Mounjaro

by

Amy Tapper has showcased her dramatic transformation after losing eight stone with the aid of the medication Mounjaro.

The 26-year-old former Gogglebox participant has lost weight, going from a size 26 to a size 18, by taking medication and exercising regularly.

Amy shared a glimpse of her stunning makeover on Instagram Stories on Thursday, looking absolutely radiant.

‘Happy thursday my beautiful people,’ she penned on top of the post. 

Amy recently revealed doctors prescribed the jab just as she contemplated gastric bypass surgery.

Although Amy has achieved significant weight loss and is proud of her success, she now has excess skin and plans to have surgery to address it.

She told the Daily Mail that losing a significant amount of weight – eight stone, with more to go – often leaves excess skin that can’t be reduced through exercise alone.

‘It’s not possible, you know? It’s stones and stones of fat and it’s now just skin.

I’ll likely need surgery on my arms and stomach eventually, but my legs are doing alright.

She jokingly added: ‘These little side bad boys are really toning up.’

The TV personality, who became famous at age 13, is being criticized online for allegedly using a weight loss injection to ‘cheat’ at losing weight. However, she maintains that she’s been consistently exercising.

It has also helped her try and tone some of the loose skin on her body.

Amy said: ‘I’ve been with the same personal trainer for five years.

I enjoy going to the gym regardless, and it really improves my mental well-being throughout the week, especially when combined with taking Mounjaro.

Amy has been taking a 15mg weekly dose since February, which she worked her way up to from 2.5mg.

She lost five pounds in just one week while using the medication, and after six months, she had lost a total of four stone.

I’m still focusing on a healthier diet and exercise, and combining that with my weight loss medication. It’s a really effective combination, and I’m seeing great results.

Amy is working with the online pharmacy Chemist4U to take back the phrase ‘eat less, move more.’ This comes after a recent study found that 70% of people taking medication for weight loss feel they are judged for using it.

DJ Fat Tony created a new house music track, appropriately titled ‘Already Doing It,’ for the campaign, and Amy appears in the accompanying music video.

Amy has been publicly documenting her weight loss journey, and many of her followers have praised her as inspiring. However, she’s also received negative comments and online harassment because of it.

Sadly, the scrutiny has caused considerable damage to Amy’s mental health.

Oh my gosh, you guys, she was on Good Morning Britain last month and it was EVERYTHING. She got so emotional talking about how she handles criticism, and she basically said she knows she’s strong, and honestly, she’s way harder on herself than anyone else could ever be! It was just…powerful. She’s so self-aware, it’s amazing!

Of course this impacts me. I’m only human, and while I can be strong and confident, after putting so much effort into something, I can’t help but find the humor in it all.

She explained that online harassment disrupts her peace of mind, and the suggestion to ‘eat less and move more’ feels like a deliberate insult.

Combining exercise with weight loss medication seems like a great approach, so it’s unclear why people are questioning it.

She urged others not to place too much power in the opinion of others.

‘I think you’re doomed if you do and doomed if you don’t so why not just do it?’ she concluded.

Chemist4U has started a big campaign to fight bullying. They’re working with the National Bullying Helpline, DJ Fat Tony, and Gogglebox star Amy Tapper, and are using the phrase ‘eat less, move more’ in a positive way, reclaiming it from negative uses.
