“I was 180 lbs but now I’ve lost 28 lbs on Ozempic! I’m down to 152 lbs,” she wrote. “I know I still look big but this photo is really inspiring to me!”
Bynes elaborated on her experience with the medication, noting fluctuations in her weight.
- Initially, she mentioned her weight had increased to 180 pounds from 173 pounds while taking Ozempic pills.
- She then successfully shed 20 pounds, bringing her down to 163 pounds while using the Ozempic injection.
