A WOMAN has revealed that she lost over eight stone and is now eight dress sizes smaller after using Mounjaro for six months.
The blonde beauty, who is from the UK, confirmed that prior to using fat jabs, she was a size 24.
But after using weight loss injections for half a year, the content creator was able to slim down to a size 8.
Now, the young woman has taken to social media to show off her jaw-dropping weight loss, but experts and NHS medics warn about the dangers of taking such medications without a prescription.
While she didn’t suffer majorly with vomiting or constipation, two common Mounjaro consequences, she did claim to experience one disgusting side effect – sulfur burps.
Mounjaro, regarded by some as the King Kong of weight loss jabs, could soon be rolled out on the NHS.
Sun GP Dr Zoe Williams claimed it can save the lives of people with “life-threatening levels of obesity”.
But despite this, the NHS warned: “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 use weight loss drugs – and the number is expected to double in the next year.
Mounjaro works by suppressing your appetite, making people feel fuller for longer.
The 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).

The drugs can be lawfully supplied when prescribed by a practitioner – such as a doctor, nurse or a pharmacist-independent prescriber.
But increasingly, people have been buying them through online pharmacies with insufficient checks.
Only recently, 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 now calling for a probe into the jab’s “potential to kill”.
Despite the dangers, this woman eagerly praised the effects of the fat jabs on her body.
In a short clip which was captioned “The difference. Over 8 stone loss. 8 sizes smaller”, this woman shared her jaw-dropping six month Mounjaro glow-up transformation, leaving many totally stunned.
At the start of the short video, we saw the blonde prior to her weight loss.

But seconds later, after slimming down to a size 8, the content creator, who also suffers from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), proudly showed off her new physique, as she posed in the mirror wearing a black long-sleeved tight top and a pair of black trousers.
She confirmed that she began using the weight loss injections “after reading the positive reviews about weight loss” and whilst taking Mounjaro, she ate in a calorie deficit.
While she controlled her diet, the influencer didn’t go to the gym, and instead, just focused on walking.
When it came to experiencing side effects, the user, who pays privately for the jabs, explained: “I’ve had no or minimal side effects.”
Despite this, she later confirmed: “I had sulfur burps a couple times when I went up to 10mg but that’s it really.”
Sulfur burps, or burps with a rotten egg smell, occur due to the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas in the digestive tract.
Many Mounjaro users have confessed to suffering from such burps, which they have described as “absolutely disgusting”.
Despite experiencing the nasty burps, this woman confirmed that she doesn’t have any loose skin after losing almost eight and a half stone.
[boxout headline=”What are sulfur burps and how can I reduce them? ” intro=”SULFUR burps are burps that smell like rotten eggs due to the presence of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas. “]This gas is produced when sulfur-containing foods break down in the digestive system or when certain bacteria in the gut produce it during digestion.
Sulfur burps are also a common side effect of Mounjaro due to its effects on digestion and the gut microbiome. Here’s why:
Slower Digestion
Mounjaro slows gastric emptying, meaning food stays in your stomach longer. This can cause fermentation, leading to the production of hydrogen sulfide gas, which smells like rotten eggs.
Changes in Gut Bacteria
Mounjaro may alter the gut microbiome, leading to an overgrowth of certain bacteria that produce sulfur-containing gases. This is especially common if there’s an imbalance in gut flora.
High-Protein or High-Sulfur Diet
Since Mounjaro users often focus on high-protein diets for weight loss, foods like eggs, dairy, meat, and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower) can contribute to sulfur burps.
Gastrointestinal Side Effects
Mounjaro is known to cause bloating, nausea, diarrhoea, and constipation—all of which can contribute to sulfur burps by slowing digestion or altering gut bacteria.
How to reduce sulfur burps whilst using Mounjaro:
- Eat smaller meals to help with digestion.
- Stay hydrated to keep digestion moving.
- Avoid high-sulfur foods (eggs, garlic, onions, carbonated drinks).
- Probiotics may help balance gut bacteria
- Ginger or peppermint tea can ease digestion.
- Talk to your doctor if burps are severe or persistent.
Prior to her weight loss, this woman was “obese, tired and depressed”.
She described herself as “unhappy and unhealthy”, but now, she feels “happy, healthy and confident”.
Reflecting on her Mounjaro journey, she beamed: “I wish I started sooner! It’s been amazing.
“If I can do it, anyone can.”
The woman also told Fabulous: “I’ve lost weight. I have a healthy BMI.
“I started Mounjaro in September, since then I’ve not suffered with the extreme pain I did beforehand with PCOS.
“I [did] extensive research before starting and always make sure I’m hydrated.
[quote credit=”Mounjaro user”]I don’t have to worry about clothes fitting me anymore either. I do believe it’s a miracle drug[/quote]“A con would be I’ve suffered with sulphur burps twice. Which lasted hours.
“I was a size 22/24 and I bought size 8 jeans last week so that’s a massive positive for me.”
And when it comes to coming off of Mounjaro, the woman added: “Mounjaro is a tool that helps you learn to control bad habits. It works by cancelling food noise.
“It’s totally changed my way of thinking and my relationship with food. If I could stay on it forever just to help my PCOS symptoms I would.
“It also helps inflammation and more. I will stop once I have reached my goal weight and will take the pharmacy’s advice on how to lower doses and maintain safely, so I have no worries.
“I feel lighter! Also much healthier. I don’t have to worry about clothes fitting me anymore either.
“I do believe it’s a miracle drug. I understand some people have had negative effects but I’ve only had positive.”
