I lost over 3 stone on Mounjaro and went from a size 18 to a 10 - here's EXACTLY what I did after my last jab to lose another 8lbs and get down to a size 8 without the injections: CLAUDIA CONNELL
The very idea that in the near future I'd have a cavernous thigh gap, a flattened stomach and upper arms the width of a baguette seemed laughably unthinkable.

People are finally realising what the ‘toothy claws' on kitchen scissors are for as they brand tips ‘life-changing'
EVER wondered what the 'toothy claws' are for in the handles of your kitchen scissors? You are not alone. A recent debate was sparked online as to what you can use the serrated section for - as often they don't quite come close enough for cutting stuff. TikTok user @suhmanthuaaa recently uploaded a video which prompted the big discussion. She shared: 'POV: You're years into adulthood and still don't know what these random claw things on scissors do. 'I've paid taxes, bought cars, signed leases, had kids and still don't know what these scissor claws are for.' Over 70,000 people have liked her video, with many rushing to the comments to share their opinion. One said: 'Chop my finger off apparently. (We were molding clay and my friend jokingly closed the scissors whilst my finger was between those claws).' Another joked: 'For when your man cheats.' Meanwhile one shared: 'These are garden scissors that cut hard stuff e.g. tree branches and twigs.' So what is the answer? It turns out that this particular type of scissors is known as 'kitchen shears', and the jagged or serrated "claw" serves a variety of purposes. While some may use it simply as a bottle opener, its primary functions are often more robust and kitchen-specific. The cable-tie-scissor trick plumbers swear by to get hair clogs out of your drain & it's WAY better than pricey liquids 2 The serrated grip and leverage from the handles make it ideal for cracking open hard-shelled items like walnuts, pecans, lobster claws, and crab legs. The feature is also particularly useful when preparing poultry. The notch provides a sturdy grip to snap or cut through small bones, such as those in chicken or fish, to break down a carcass or make stock. The jagged part can be used to get a better grip on a tough-to-open jar lid or to remove a bottle cap. And the strong grip can also be helpful for tasks like holding a slippery item or even stripping the leaves from tough herb stems. After finding out some of the uses, people have been hailing the feature as "life-changing". 5 cleaning hacks Say goodbye to ironing Don't have time to smooth out the wrinkles of a shirt with an iron?
