A WOMAN who shed 6st in the space of just nine months using weight loss jabs has shared how she prevented loose skin.
Victoria Miller, from the UK, showed off her incredible weight loss and the ups and downs she faced.
Taking to social media, Victoria revealed that her starting weight was 15.7st and was a size 18/20 before taking the weight loss jabs.
In the space of nine months, she managed to lose 6st, and now weighs 9.6st.
She wrote: “I just wanted to share my journey, I started 9 months ago, weighing almost 100kg, I am now 59.85kg down from a size 18/20 to a size 8.”
Victoria showed before and after images of her Mounjaro weight loss transformation, which left everyone stunned.
In the before images, you could clearly see Victoria was heavier, but now she had shed the weight and even had abs.
While she loved her new look, she did reveal that her weight loss wasn’t always easy.
“It’s not been a smooth ride,” she explained.
” 12.5mg completely floored me and I had an awful time with it, but I would do all over again.”
Now, Victoria is currently maintaining her 6st weight loss by taking 5mg of Mounjaro a week to keep her new size 8 figure.
“I am now maintaining and on 5mg, I’ve been maintaining for 6 weeks and my weight loss has pretty much stopped at 9st 6,” she continued.
Victoria shared her journey on the Facebook group, Mounjaro Weight Loss Support Group, where it went viral with over 480 likes.
People were quick to praise Victoria on her weight loss and asked how she prevented loose skin.
One person wrote: “Wow! What a difference! May I ask if you had a tummy tuck?”
Another commented: “You look amazing! Well done you! Can I ask if/what exercises you’ve done whilst on Mounjaro? I start mine next week, hoping for this outcome.”
Victoria revealed that no, she didn’t have a tummy tuck despite now flaunting abs and shared her two tricks to beat the loose skin from rapid weight loss.

- Seek medical help if you experience any of the following serious side effects: signs of pancreatitis (severe stomach pain), allergic reactions and kidney problems (low urine output, swelling).
