The mother-of-three said it had an instant effect and stopped her incessant raiding of the snack cupboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘I thought it was going to be another diet trend but the food noises got switched off,’ said Ms Ogley, who used the injections for five months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘As soon as I went on it I realised “I’ve not touched the snack cupboard”.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This change helped her make healthier choices in other aspects of her life and she started exercising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soon the nursery manager had lost a further 3st, taking her down to a total body weight of around 10st. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Ogley has shed six stone in just over a year, thanks to combination of Mounjaro and a simple healthy eating plan<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, she said the process of weaning off the drug came with a worrying side effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Ogley recalled how, in coming off the jab, she became obsessed with getting as ‘skinny as possible’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘I got trolled, they called me Skeletor. I was being told I looked like a 60-year-old,’ she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Skeletor is the name of a skull-faced villain from the 80s children’s cartoon He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Losing muscle mass is known side-effect of weight loss jabs as well as other rapid weight loss methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While dieters lose fat, they can also shed muscle if they consume very few calories and fail to perform muscle-building exercises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was nasty social media comments, alongside Ms Ogley’s husband’s concerns that she looked ‘ill’, that gave the wake-up call she needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Ogley took up weight training and said this \u2013 combined with some healthy swaps\u2013 had a made a world of difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Ogley said her husband grew concerned at her rapid weight loss and skinny ‘obsession’, worrying that she looked unwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘I have abs at 42 \u2013 it blows my mind,’ she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘I have hacks in place. If I’m craving sweets I have [high protein] Greek yoghurt, berries and granola.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘I still have takeaways but I exercise portion control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘We make chicken kebabs as fakeaways instead of ordering them as takeaways.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said making these swaps and cutting back on alcohol had helped prevent the weight from coming back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A study, published last month<\/a>, warned that many patients using weight loss jabs risk piling the pounds back on within ten months of quitting the injections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scientists at Oxford University discovered the effects of GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy are short-lived if patients do not maintain a healthy lifestyle afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ms Ogley said she hopes her example shows others they can maintain their weight loss if they stop using the drugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n She developed a habit of comfort eating and binge drinking following a cancer diagnosis in 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n She said she’d battled comfort eating and binge drinking after being diagnosed with cervical and ovarian cancer in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘I’d have two to three takeaways a week. My drinking was excessive,’ she said, adding that she’d often share three bottles wine with her husband on an evening out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘It helped numb everything.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of her cancer treatment, she was forced to undergo a hysterectomy \u2013 a major surgery to remove the uterus \u2013 but it was recommended she lost weight before going under the knife, to reduce the risk of complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘I said to myself “if I come out the other side I will try and take control of my health”,’ she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While she started with an highly restrictive fasting diet that helped her lose 3st she knew it wasn’t sustainable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘I was doing it in not a very healthy way,’ she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘I was almost starving myself.’https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/html_modules\/2025\/01_JAN\/250121_risks_of_fat_jab\/index.html https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/html_modules\/2024\/05_MAY\/240514_weight_Druga_v2\/index.html<\/p>\n\n\n\n This was when she turned to Mounjaro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As of Monday, obese patients in England will be able to access the ‘revolutionary’ weight-loss jab Mounjaro free of charge directly from their family doctor<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"She](\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2025\/06\/24\/11\/99667621-14841497-image-a-13_1750761249569.jpg\")
