A MUM has left people gobsmacked after sharing her jaw-dropping weight loss makeover thanks to Mounjaro.
TikToker Boy Mum, from Great Harwood, was able to slim down and shed a whopping 2 stone in just nine weeks thanks to fat jabs – but experts and NHS medics warn about the dangers of taking such medications without a prescription.
The blonde stunner, who works in the beauty industry, used Mounjaro to achieve what fans have dubbed ”the most dramatic change” they’ve ”ever” come across since the trend took off.
Mounjaro is regarded by some as the King Kong of weight loss jabs.
Sun GP Dr Zoe Williams acknowledged that Mounjaro, which could soon be rolled out on the NHS, 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).
One jab is administered each week but the duration is dependent on someone’s weight.
The drugs can be lawfully supplied when prescribed by a practitioner – such as a doctor, nurse or a pharmacist-independent prescriber.

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.”
After using the fat jabs for a little over two months, the mum, who posts under the username @the_laserlab, was eager to proudly to show off the epic makeover on TikTok.
Sharing the jaw-dropping glow-up online, the mum revealed her starting weight was 13 stone 3lbs and she’s currently at 11 stone 2 lbs.
According to the blue-eyed beauty, who added that she hasn’t exercised at all during this time, she pays around £150 per pen, which lasts her around five weeks.
Since posting the fabulous transformation online, the tattoo removal whizz has also answered several questions left by intrigued viewers, including whether you will pile the pounds back on once you’ve come off from Mounjaro.
She said: ”Not if you’re living a healthy lifestyle and making sure you don’t just binge and overeat, otherwise you obviously will.”
Asked if she still gets ”food noise”, the mum said she ”barely” thinks about food.
”I have to force myself to eat like a meal a day.”
Numerous TikTokers were also wondering about becoming infertile whilst injecting fat jabs, to which the woman replied: ”[I] will make sure I don’t get pregnant on it as I’ve heard it can have a bad effect on the baby, as it does say to not conceive during and until 3 months coming off it.”
‘That is NOT nine weeks’
The clip has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up over 543k views, more than 23k likes and a whopping 830 comments.
Despite the jaw-dropping results, many people refused to believe that she had shed that much weight in a relatively short time period.
One person commented: ”What mounjaro is this because mine isn’t working like that I’m on my 4th week.”
”9 weeks. Don’t believe it,” another sceptic chimed in.
”Sorry guys but it’s impossible. Not in 9 weeks, even on mounjaro,” a viewer said.
”That is NOT 9 weeks….” someone else added.
Hitting back at the trolls who weren’t so sure whether the weight loss was genuine, the mum said: ”I’ve seen many people lose even faster than me, a stone a month is even doable with exercise and diet, so more than capable to lose a stone a month on Mounjaro.”
