I lost over 3 stone on Mounjaro but here's 5 things I wish I knew before – the fashion identity crisis is just the start
A MOTHER has managed to shift over three stone thanks to Mounjaro, but has revealed the five things she wishes she had known before starting the injections. Sara-Jane, who describes herself as 'ex-fat' and 'still funny,' has managed to lose 3 stone 3 lbs since beginning Mounjaro, which is known as the King Kong of fat jabs. 3 3 3 But now, the brunette beauty has claimed to be 'personally victimised' by the injections. Eager to reveal the five things that have been 'absolutely ruined' for her since starting Mounjaro, the savvy mum took to social media to share the implications losing weight has had on her life. Not only did she open up on her clothing identity crisis, but she also got candid on being back on the 'male radar.' And that's not all, as Sara-Jane also left viewers in hysterics after sharing her thoughts on now being slim enough to fit on rollercoasters. Posting online, the mum explained that thanks to slimming down, she is now experiencing an influx of interest from men. Much to her 'disgust', she said: 'I'm back on the male radar again - don't hold a door for me, don't smile at me, don't even breathe in my direction, I did not lose this all to become visible again to your breed.' Unimpressed by the male attention, Sara-Jane claimed that she would gain all the weight back out of 'spite' to avoid men approaching her. Secondly, Sara-Jane admitted to having issues with not knowing what to wear as a result of her new frame. She added: 'I'm having a clothing identity crisis - I've been wearing leggings and T-shirts on repeat and I fear I always will be.' Sara-Jane then wondered whether she should buy clothes for the 'future me', but also shared her confusion as to whether her 'future me' was a 'made-up delusion' in her head. Weight Loss Jabs - Pros vs Cons In addition to this, Sara-Jane confessed her distaste for people asking her to get involved with exercise. 'I'm not sure why it's now socially acceptable to ask me if I want to join your running club or Pilates group to keep myself trim, because absolutely not,' she snapped. Clearly unimpressed by the fitness invites, Sara-Jane claimed that matching yoga mats and a yummy mummy club every Wednesday would 'never' be her. But that's not all, as Sara-Jane also got candid on finally being able to fit on theme park rides. Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK. Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Can I get them? NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics. Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss. Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk. Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines. As a result of previously being too big for rollercoasters, Sara-Jane used to be able to wave her kids off, but now, she questioned: 'What am I gonna do now? The only thing I can do now to avoid a log flume is get pregnant.' And if that wasn't bad enough, Sara-Jane also set the record straight on the reaction she often gets from people around her after losing weight. I'm not sure why it's now socially acceptable to ask me if I want to join your running club or pilates group to keep myself trim, because absolutely not Sara-Jane 'I assumed people say their most wild comments to talk about you behind your back - turns out no, not true, they say them to your face,' she concluded. Sara-Jane admitted that she is now subject to constant comments regarding the potential dangers of using Mounjaro, and while she 'wouldn't go as far as to say it's ruined' her 'entire life' she acknowledged that she has had to 'develop some new coping skills' to deal with the recent changes she is experiencing. Other Mounjaro users react The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ thatsarajane, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 115,800 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 5,464 likes, 427 comments and 769 shares. Other Mounjaro users could sympathise with Sara-Jane and eagerly raced to the comments to share their thoughts. One person said: 'The things people will say to your face after losing weight is WILD!!!' Another added: 'Yes yes and yes yes yes lol.' A third commented: 'This was hilarious and so true.' Meanwhile, another Mounjaro user chimed in: 'Shopping is a nightmare I don't know what to buy.' At the same time, one fat jab user confirmed: 'Yes I've noticed I've suddenly become visible to men this past week or so!' The reality of Mounjaro Although many have boasted about weight loss success since using Mounjaro, last year it was revealed that Scots nurse Susan McGowan, 58, died after taking low-dose injections of Mounjaro over a fortnight. A probe also found that nearly 400 people have gone to hospital after taking weight loss drugs. The common side effects include nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, which can lead to severe dehydration. What are the other side effects of weight loss jabs? Like any medication, weight loss jabs can have side effects. Common side effects of injections such as Ozempic include: Nausea: This is the most commonly reported side effect, especially when first starting the medication. It often decreases over time as your body adjusts. Vomiting: Can occur, often in conjunction with nausea. Diarrhea: Some people experience gastrointestinal upset. Constipation: Some individuals may also experience constipation. Stomach pain or discomfort: Some people may experience abdominal pain or discomfort. Reduced appetite: This is often a desired effect for people using Ozempic for weight loss. Indigestion: Can cause a feeling of bloating or discomfort after eating. Serious side effects can also include: Pancreatitis: In rare cases, Ozempic may increase the risk of inflammation of the pancreas, known as pancreatitis, which can cause severe stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting. Kidney problems: There have been reports of kidney issues, including kidney failure, though this is uncommon. Thyroid tumors: There's a potential increased risk of thyroid cancer, although this risk is based on animal studies. It is not confirmed in humans, but people with a history of thyroid cancer should avoid Ozempic. Vision problems: Rapid changes in blood sugar levels may affect vision, and some people have reported blurry vision when taking Ozempic. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Especially if used with other medications like sulfonylureas or insulin. And if that wasn't bad enough, doctors say they have also seen 'life-threatening complications', including seizures, bowel obstruction and inflammation of the pancreas. Model Lottie Moss, 27, even said she had a seizure after taking high doses of Ozempic. The makers of Mounjaro, Lilly UK, said patient safety is its 'top priority'. Lilly UK stressed: 'Regulatory agencies conduct extensive independent assessments of the benefits and risks of every new medicine and Lilly is committed to continually monitoring, evaluating, and reporting safety data. 'If anyone is experiencing side effects when taking any Lilly medicine, they should talk to their doctor or other healthcare professional.'

Jeremy Clarkson to host new Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? spin-off
TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson is to host a new spin-off of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? called Millionaire Hot Seat. The new show, which will air on ITV, will see contestants sit in a queue around the hot seat, which faces Clarkson and allows the players to answer questions to climb the money ladder, as soon as they get a question wrong contestants are out and the value of the top prize drops. Advertisement Contestants also have the opportunity to pass and stay in the game, but they will go to the back of the queue – meaning they may not return to the hot seat, where they have to be sitting to win the top prize. Clarkson will also return to the show's standard edition in 19 new episodes (Ian West/PA) Katie Rawcliffe, director of entertainment and daytime commissioning at ITV, said: 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? has reached 18 million viewers on ITV so far this year alone. 'Commissioning a new spin-off format to further capitalise on the brand's success and popularity was a no-brainer, especially with Millionaire Hot Seat already doing so well in other territories also.' The show, which will be produced by Stellify Media in the UK, is already popular in Australia – with more than 2,500 episodes airing. Advertisement Along with the new spin-off, ITV has also commissioned 19 further episodes of the traditional Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? including seven celebrity specials. A date for the show's release is yet to be announced, but it is expected to air across ITV, ITVX, STV and STV Player. Beginning in September 1998 and originally hosted by Chris Tarrant, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? has seen 40 series up to 2025. The show has made the headlines on a number of occasions, most notably when contestant Charles Ingram won the grand prize – but it was never paid out after he was accused of cheating in an infamous coughing scam, with the story being dramatised in ITV show Quiz.

Oleksandr Usyk fires warning to next generation of boxers as he reveals his sons are following in his fighting footsteps
'DADDY' Oleksandr Usyk is breeding the next generation of combat stars to dominate the sporting world. The four-belt heavyweight icon, 37, revealed this week that tomorrow's opponent at Wembley, Daniel Dubois, is his penultimate foe. Undefeated Ukrainian Usyk calls himself 'The Iceman' and loves bashing Brits, with Tony Bellew, Derek Chisora, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury already chillingly vanquished. And, worryingly for the next era of UK fighters — in the ring or on the judo mat — his schoolboy sons Mykhailo and Kyrylo are already in their father's gym and ready to carry on dishing out the punishment. When asked how he coped with another three-month camp away from his kids, Usyk explained: 'They were with me for a week, then went home because the older one was preparing for the Spanish judo championships. 'They came back to visit me and stayed with me two days after that. Watch Fury Vs Usyk 2 live on DAZN *If you click on a link in this boxout we will earn affiliate revenue.

'My eldest went to the championship — he performed very well but faced a big guy and took second place because he didn't have enough experience for now. 'He wants to become an Olympic champion in judo. My youngest son wants to become a boxer and become world champion.' Usyk has dedicated his life to the sport and made huge sacrifices along the way. He even stuck religiously to his Olympics campaign in 2012 when his dad was gravely ill — and who passed away just days after his son won the heavyweight gold. 4 4 USYK VS DUBOIS 2: Stream, TV channel and undercard info for blockbuster Wembley fight So even though Usyk's boys have been born into fame and fortune, daddy warns them it is not all purses, pizzazz and paparazzi. He said: 'I tell them that, in order to achieve their goals, they need to work very hard. 'I say that it's not always cool to be famous.' Usyk knows about being ice-cold — he dominated Joshua in the searing Saudi heat, then beat the Brit again in his London backyard. Next, he stood in front of 6ft 9in 20st showman Fury while the Mancunian screamed insults at him — before blitzing the Gypsy King twice. Yesterday, ahead of his rematch with 27-year-old Dubois, the Londoner stood inches from his nose and bellowed. But Usyk warned the decade-younger powerhouse that all the fire in his belly and fists will be extinguished. He declared: 'You need to know what I'm feeling. I'm quite cold. I'm a very chilled person. I like it when it's cold. I am an Iceman. I am frozen.' Chisora reckons the only way to beat Usyk is to be 'more crazy' than the 6ft 3in southpaw. But the leftie mastermind insists he is too unhinged to be beaten by mind games in the mad world of boxing. Usyk said: 'I look at this world in a different way. I look at the world as a God-given psychiatric hospital, where many mad people live. 'But God gives each of us a chance to be healed. And every day I ask Him for help in prayer.' 4
