As you might recall, the Easy A alum first told fans about her Ozempic plans in June. Back then, she confessed that she wanted to slim down after struggling with weight gain and not feeling her best in paparazzi pics. At the time, she didn’t hold back about her goals, saying:
“I’m going on Ozempic. So excited. I’m 173 now, so I hope to get down to like 130, which would be awesome, so I look better in paparazzi pictures.”
And then she went quiet about it for months!
But on Wednesday, Amanda suddenly popped back up to spill the details on her progress, and she sounds thrilled with how it’s coming. In a rare IG vid, she told her followers:
“I wanted to make a quick post to give a quick update on my Ozempic journey. I’ve lost 20 pounds so far. I’m so excited about that to be honest.”
That’s right! Amanda is 20 pounds down, and not done yet. She admitted that she’s still got a bit more to go before she hits her goal weight, revealing:
“I want to lose about 15 more pounds.”
The Amanda Show alum explained that she’s experimented with both the pill and injection versions of the medication, and it’s been quite a ride. According to her, the pill form actually caused her to gain weight before she found success with the injectable:
“I’m 163 now, I actually shot up on the Ozempic pill to 180 from 173, I was able to lose 20 pounds from 180 and now I’m down to 163 on the Ozempic injection. So, I’m really glad that I’m on the injection, it’s really working for me.”
And Bynes also made it clear that she’s sticking with the shots until she feels confident again. She explained:
“I’m trying to lose more weight just to feel skinny and cute, so I will keep taking Ozempic.”
It’s been a long and rocky road for Amanda amid a renewed focus on her health and personal life in recent years.
But if this is any indication, she seems more determined than ever to take control of it all. Here’s to health and happiness!
