Amanda Bynes enjoys outing in Malibu after getting candid about her Ozempic weight loss journey

BBG News

Over the weekend, Amanda Bynes was spotted in Malibu following her open discussion regarding her experience with Ozempic-assisted weight loss.

Previously known for his role on Nickelodeon, now 39 years old and having taken a leisurely stroll in Los Angeles, he was seen purchasing a cool beverage at a local market, engaging in a pleasant chat with a dear companion.

In June last month, the actress took to social media platforms to announce that she had started using Ozempic and would be sharing updates on her weight loss journey aimed at shedding approximately 40 pounds.

Byrne opted for a laid-back look, donning a zipped-up white pullover and a matching pair of gray shorts.

She gathered her golden hair neatly into a basic bun, keeping stray hairs away from her facial area.

Amanda effortlessly slung a black bag across her shoulder, containing a handful of essentials for her enjoyable outing.

This past Thursday, the celebrity was spotted going for a hike with friend Jalen Hemphill.

The twosome casually walked through a peaceful residential area, with Bynes donning a bright blue sweater and white shorts.

Instead, she put on some fashionable flat shoes and finished off her casual style with a black cap adorned on her head.

Later on, Amanda was seen in a selfie that she shared on her Instagram stories, showing them basking in the sunny weather of California.

Not too far after the actress from Easy A shared insights into her weight loss journey, including her intention to use Ozempic for additional help in shedding pounds.

In a video posted on her Instagram stories, Bynes spoke openly to her followers about the subject at hand.

As an enthusiastic advocate, here’s my take:

“I can hardly contain my excitement as I embark on a new journey with Ozempic. Currently standing tall at 173cm, I aspire to see myself reduced to about 130cm. It would be nothing short of fantastic to feel more confident in front of the camera, whether it’s the paparazzi or just a casual selfie!

Amanda continued by adding, ‘I will post about my Ozempic journey of course.’ 

Previously, the actress from Hairspray shared details about her weight reduction experience last year, revealing she shed approximately 13.6 kilograms (or six pounds).

In her Instagram stories, she shared a screengrab from a health monitoring application, announcing “Lost 6lbs! Now weigh 154lbs!” with an expression of surprise emoji.

The picture also showed she had walked a little over six miles and 14,895 steps that same week. 

Last March, Bynes confided to her Instagram followers about a significant weight gain. Specifically, she mentioned that she had put on more than 20 pounds within the previous few months, which was due to her depression.

She mentioned, ‘I’ve significantly improved and found the strategy of performing opposite actions when I’m not inclined to exercise or maintain a healthy diet. Currently, I weigh 162 pounds, but my goal is to return to a weight of 110 pounds.’

In a previous chat with Paper Magazine back in 2018, Bynes opened up about feeling self-conscious about her body, a sensation that started following her role in the 2006 movie, “She’s The Man.

Ever since the movie premiered, I’ve been utterly captivated. When I finally watched it, I found myself plunged into a profound melancholy that lasted for four to six months. The portrayal of my childhood self left me feeling disheartened about how I used to look.

She described feeling utterly peculiar and out of sorts when she sported a short haircut and sideburns, as it plunged her into a melancholic state.

Later on, her feelings of insecurity eventually developed into a struggle with drug addiction. Amanda revealed to the media that she initially began using Adderall as a means to aid in weight loss.

She openly confessed, “Yes, I did misuse Adderall,” following her discovery of an article labeling it as the latest “weight-loss wonder drug.

In our conversation, we touched upon methods some ladies use to maintain a slender figure. Hearing this, I found myself eagerly wanting to explore those techniques myself, saying, “I simply must learn more about it.

As I reflect on my journey in Hollywood, I can’t help but remember my time on the set of Easy A alongside the talented Emma Stone. In all honesty, watching myself in that film left me feeling incredibly uncomfortable about my appearance and performance. The experience was so intense that I found myself questioning whether acting was still for me.

‘I was high on marijuana when I saw that but for some reason it really started to affect me.’

Following his departure from acting, the celebrity accumulated several instances of reckless driving, illegal drug possession, and a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) offense.

In 2013, she was admitted to the hospital due to a psychiatric hold that wasn’t her choice, and then, she was appointed a conservatorship that lasted for nearly a decade, ending only in 2022.

And in 2023, she was placed on a 5150 hold and later checked herself into a mental health facility.

Earlier this year in April, Bynes shocked fans after announcing that she had joined OnlyFans. 

Additionally, she shared with her Instagram audience her intentions regarding her potential involvement with the adult entertainment platform.

At that moment, Amanda wrote, “I’ve decided to join OnlyFans as a way to interact with my fans via direct messages. Rest assured, there will be no inappropriate content posted.” She expressed her enthusiasm about this new venture.

In order to access content that the star posts to the site, fans will have to pay $50 each month.
