It all started when Clarkson told Goldberg that she looks younger every time she sees her. Its all the weight Ive lost, the 68-year-old quipped. Im doing that wonderful shot that works for folks who need some help and its been really good for me.

After Oprah Winfrey shared her weight loss injectable experience in March, Goldberg revealed on The View that Mounjaro, a shot designed to help with blood sugar management in people with type 2 diabetes, is one of the things thats helped me drop the weight, she said.

She continued: My weight has come and gone, and up and down, but its never been an issue for me because I dont listen to what other people say about me so it has never been a problem. But I think its very hard for people to just know what a normal weight would be.

The alarms sounded for Goldberg when she was accused of wearing a fat suit in her 2023 film Till, she told Clarkson. Ive lost almost two people, she said. You say to people, Did I always look like that? When you realize it, you go Damn, and everyone says, Well, I thought you knew.

After their discussion, Clarkson faced internet-wide backlash for not sharing her experience earlier. And on the May 15th episode of The View, Goldberg stood up for the singer. A lot of people are taking the shot because they need it. Some people need bodies jumpstarted, some have diabetes, theres lots of reasons ... there are issues with thyroids, she said. We have to let people do what they need to do to get where they need to get to, and stop being mad that theyre not doing it your way.

Clarkson shared her story when she was ready, just as Goldberg did. It seems like this generation shares everything, Goldberg continued. What they ate for dinner, who they ate for dinner, all kinds of stuff. You have people like myself who, its like, When Im ready to tell you, Ill tell you. When Im comfortable, Ill let you know.

Skinny Scott!

Scott Disicks dramatic weight loss was front and center on Thursdays Season 5 premiere of The Kardashians on Hulu.

Kris Jenner and Khlo Kardashian went to his house and couldnt believe how svelte he looked.

Wow, somebodys lost a lot of weight, Jenner, 68, told Disick, 40. You look great!

In a confessional, Jenner acknowledged how far Disick has come in his weight loss journey.

Scott looks great, and I know that hes really struggled the last year or so, Jenner said, adding, I felt like he was not in the best place and it made me really sad.

Kardashian, 39, gave her sisters ex a shoutout as well when she opened his fridge and saw it was filled with water, almond milk and grapes.

Wow, youre really being healthy! she said.

The episode was filmed this past fall, months before Disick sparked concern about his extreme weight loss.

In March, the Talentless founder was very thin and his face appeared gaunt when he stepped out with Sarah Bauer, 28.

After seeing the photos of Disick, fans speculated on social media that he was using celebrity-loved Ozempicto shed pounds.

He dont look healthy,one fan wrote.

He does not look good, tweeted another.

The reality star has never commented on the speculation.

Disick lost a lot of weight after The Kardashians Season 4, which filmed in spring 2023 and aired in the fall. During one episode, a then-heavier Disick explained that his August 2022 car crash where heflipped his Lamborghini SUV led to him gaining weight.

Ive gained a lot of weight here because of my back, he told Khlo in the scene.

The pair visited a doctor to get his MRI results and were told that he may need surgery.

In a confessional, Kardashian said, I think Scott maybe needs a little pep talk, because this is probably the unhealthiest Ive seen him. Hes barely mobile, and its all from his back, so that wouldnt make anyone feel good.

In December, Life & Style reported that Disick was back in shape after prioritizing his weight issues.

Scott wasnt happy about putting on the extra pounds. He hated it really, an insider told the outlet. While some of his friends say he put in the hard work by exercising and changing his diet, others say he jumped on the Hollywood Ozempic bandwagon.

The source added, Either way, he looks good.

New episodes of The Kardashians air Thursdays on Hulu and Disney+ at midnight.

Novo Nordisk, manufacturer of the weight-loss drug Wegovy, said this week at least 25,000 people are starting on the drug weekly in the U.S., up from about 5,000 in December, causing the maker to boost manufacturing to keep up with demand. Another obesity medicine maker, Eli Lilly, which makes Zepbound, also raised its sales outlook this week. While many GLP-1s have existed for years to treat diabetes, they are only recently driving sales for obesity treatments, which could soar above $80 billion by 2030, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.

Currently, less than 1% of Americans are on the GLP-1 drugs for weight loss, though Morgan Stanley equity analysts expect that figure to grow to 10% by 2034.

Not all doctors are jumping at the chance to prescribe the medication for their patients. Atlanta Plastic Surgery decided not to become a prescriber because of liability concerns about the drugs possible side effects, Nguyen said. Instead, the practice refers patients to primary care doctors.

Still, he estimated that 10% to 20% of his business comes from patients success losing weight after taking the drugs. Most of those patients request body contouring to remove excess skin after weight loss, he said.

Almost daily, Shady Grove Fertility in Sandy Springs has to revamp its treatment plan upon learning a client is taking a weight loss drug, according to medical director Desire McCarthy-Keith. Theyve become popular in the past year. Notwithstanding the data, it may affect pregnancy and fertility.

For some overweight clients, shedding pounds on the drugs can increase ovulation and reduce the medical issues experienced by women with polycystic ovary syndrome, which decreases fertility, said McCarthy-Keith, an ob-gyn and reproductive endocrinologist. Losing weight also reduces the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, miscarriage and pregnancy complications. But doctors advise caution when trying to get pregnant.

A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine in December reported the use of medications such as GLP-1 drugs does not raise the risk of birth defects when compared to insulin use.

But more studies are needed. For now, doctors recommend patients stop the drugs before trying to get pregnant.

This class of medication can stay in your system longer, so its recommended to try to put off getting pregnant for two months after stopping the weight-loss drugs, she said. The extra time allows the drug to work its way out of the body, reducing the risk to the fetus. It can be hard on them, McCarthy-Keith said about couples seeking fertility treatment. They are anxious to be pregnant. Its difficult to put their plans on hold.

Fertility specialists also recommend clients discontinue using weight loss drugs for up to two weeks before fertility treatments that require anesthesia, such as invitro fertilization, she said.

Dr. Jessica Rubin of Reproductive Biology Associates in Atlanta also has seen an increase in women using weight loss medicine to achieve the body mass index recommended to start fertility treatments. I would estimate an average of 2 to 5 patients a week have recently been on the weight loss medications.

The medication is also being used to supplement bariatric surgery, according to Dr. Benjamin Flink of Bariatric Innovations, a general and bariatric surgeon who specializes in medical weight loss management.

Flink said he prescribes medications, including the new injectable GLP-1s, to those seeking them for weight loss and to patients who use them to kickstart their weight loss before bariatric surgery. Doctors generally recommend bariatric surgery to patients who have severe obesity or weight-related health problems, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Bariatric procedures remain an effective option for those who do not want to take obesity medicine, are tired of taking it, or dont achieve the weight loss they desire from the medicine alone, Flink said. There are also patients who do not respond to medical weight loss or have not lost weight on multiple different medications.

He recounted how a patient took the injectable medicine for 9 months, losing enough to be considered a healthy weight, but then experienced severe stomach pains and had to stop taking the drug.

A lot of people think of weight loss medications, including the new injectable drugs, as a cure-all for obesity. They dont consider that these are maintenance drugs that only work while you are taking them and the potential long-term effects of taking these medications for a prolonged period of time.

He advises patients using the drugs to work with a nutritionist and to exercise so they dont lose excessive muscle mass, which is one of the potential long-term side effects of the medicine.

Abby Jellinek-Johnson of Harmony Nutrition described two types of patients she sees on the medication. First, those who start on the drugs without first seeking a nutrition assessment, lose weight and then plateau. It suppresses their appetite, so they forget to eat. We have to re-teach our patients what hunger might feel like and to remember to eat small balanced meals throughout the day in order to maintain their lean muscle mass and metabolism.

The second type of patient will work with a nutritionist before starting weight loss medication. There is a small subset of patients who are very diligent in implementing lifestyle changes and still dont see the weight loss they are working towards. Sometimes diet and exercise just isnt enough. And we find that in some cases these medications are the right choice for them as an individual. Many of these patients do end up being successful with long-term weight loss when they combine a medical approach with dietary and lifestyle changes.

Vicki Feldman has a similar philosophy. Like with any transformation, none of it really works without changing lifestyle, said the Marietta health coach, personal trainer, and group exercise instructor. Feldman works at two large gyms and for a leading weight loss program that recently partnered with a prescriber of the new drugs. Among some three dozen clients, she is currently helping four people develop healthy habits while taking the weight loss medicine.

Muscle loss is a prime concern. As we age, its natural to lose muscle mass. But that can be compounded by the rapid weight loss, she said. The people Im working with are very focused on maintaining or increasing their lean mass because they know thats going to be the key to maintaining their weight.

Many on the medicine probably arent aware of the muscle loss risk, said Maxim Nazaire, founder and owner of Safe Haven Fitness in Roswell. He estimates about 10% of his 120 clients have tried the weight loss drugs at some point. Trainers often learn about their clients use of the medication when reviewing fitness and wellness goals with them.

To build lean muscle, trainers focus on weight-bearing, multi-joint exercises such as squats, deadlifts, shoulder and chest lifts, he said. We monitor the intensity to manage the safety of the exercise as well.

Rebel Wilson has revealed she didn't believe she could lose weight.

The Pitch Perfect star has admitted she had no belief in her own abilities.

"I never thought I could do it,' Rebel, 44, told Ok! Magazine.

"Then in 2020, when I just really focused and did it, I felt sadness, because I'm like, 'I'm 40. Why did I not do it 10, 20 years ago?'"

The actress and comedian went through a grieving process for the years she had spent "hidden".

"I felt like this sadness, that I'd hidden away from people and from relationships," Rebel shared.

It was not until Rebel embarked on a "year of health" in 2020 that she realised she could commit to a healthy lifestyle.

"In 2020, I did this experiment called 'the year of health', and I lost a lot of weight," she said. "That garnered more attention than any movie I'd ever done."

Rebel explained she'd used food to make herself feel better as a result of not feeling confident enough to "stand up" for herself.

"Being born a girl where I came from in Australia, I didn't stand up for myself sometimes. Or I was told to just shut up and be a good girl," she said.

"Then, because I didn't feel that I was any good, I was feeding myself food that wasn't good. And it was like this whole cycle of like, 'Oh well, I'll just trash my own body'."

On Monday,

Below, we set the record straight on exactly where McCarthy stands on dieting and weight lossand how, naturally, shes made her point of view funny along the way.

In response to Streisands Ozempic question, McCarthy posted a video with the caption: @Barbarastreisand fan club members only. She said her takeaway from the singers comments were that: Barbara Streisand knows I exist. She reached out to me and she thought I looked good. I win the day.

You may recall that The Little Mermaid Star was honored in Peoples 2023 Beautiful Issue. And while she, of course, had to make a joke about the acknowledgment (Did my mom and my dad have the two main votes?), she shared that, in all seriousness, her glow comes from contentment. Somewhere in my 30s, I was like Im okay with who I am, she told People. And if someone wasnt thrilled with that, thats okay too. At some point, I was like, Theyre not all going to like you. You have to learn that the hard way, but its a good [lesson].

Its not necessarily anyones business what a scale reads when McCarthy steps on it, but she has shared that her weight has fluctuated since she moved to Los Angeles in the 90s. Her lifestyle changed significantly after she joined the improv troupe The Groundlings. I stopped walking and ate shitty food. I was in good shape, then suddenly I gained 25 pounds, she told Rolling Stone in 2017.

Since then, shes been every size in the world, she told Us Weekly in 2013. Parts of my 20s, I was in great shape, but I didnt appreciate it. If I was a six or an eight, I thought, Why arent I a two or a four? Now I feel like I have two great kids and the dreamiest husband on the planet, and everything else is just a work in progress.

After securing her role as Sookie St. James in Gilmore Girls in the early 2000s, McCarthy went on a doctor-advised all-liquid diet, which led her to lose 70 pounds. Id never do that again, she told People in 2011. I felt starved and crazy half the time.

When I go shopping, most of the time Im disappointed, she told Redbook in 2014. Two Oscars ago, I couldnt find anybody to do a dress for me. I asked five or six designersvery high-level ones who make lots of dresses for peopleand they all said no.

After too many of those experiences, McCarthy took matters into her own hands. She has designed clothes for Lane Bryant and launched her own Melissa McCarthy Seven7 line in 2015, which is no longer in production.

Seventy percent of women in the United States are a size 14 or above, and thats technically plus-size, so youre taking your biggest category of people and telling them, Youre not really worthy. I find that very strange, she told Refinery29 in 2015. I just think, if youre going to make womens clothing, make womens clothing.

In 2019, she told WSJ magazine that she was working on a more accessible label, but no news has come of it since.

I do think I worried about weight too soon, when it was only little-kid weight, she told Rolling Stone. I thought I battled weight throughout high school, but I look back at pictures of me as a cheerleader, doing sprints, lifting weights, doing gymnastics, playing tennis, and while I wasnt reed-thin like some girls ... I was a size six the entire time. So what on Earth was I freaking out about?

In 2016, McCarthy shared an image of a mirror with a warning label on Instagram. The label read: Reflections in this mirror may be distorted by societally constructed ideas of beauty.

In her caption, she wrote: We have to stop categorizing and judging women based on their bodies. We are teaching young girls to strive for unattainable perfection instead of feeling healthy and happy in their own skin.

Headlines exploded over McCarthys 50-pound weight loss in 2015 which happened in tandem with her action-packed role in Spy. Ironically, she said the weight left when she stopped obsessing over it. I truly stopped worrying about it, she told Life & Style. I think theres something to kinda loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked.

Even then, she cautioned the public not to get too... excited about the change. I have [lost weight], but Ill be back again," she told Refinery29 in 2016. Ill be up, Ill be down, probably for the rest of my life. The thing is, if that is the most interesting thing about me, I need to go have a lavender farm in Minnesota and give this up. There has to be something more.

McCarthy has been open about the egregious questions shes received on her physical appearance over the yearsand the double standard that exists when it comes to men in Hollywood and their looks. There are so many more intriguing things about women than their butt or their this or their that. It cant be the first question every time, or a question at all, she told Refinery 29. Its like, Can you imagine them asking some of these guys I work with, How do you keep your butt looking so good? It would be like, What the f*ck are you talking about? Why are you asking about the shape of my butt?

In a 2018 interview with AARP, she shared a similar sentiment. No ones asking a man, how do you keep your legs in shape? Which Ive been asked, she recalled.

In fact, she doesnt want it to define anyone. I just find it dumb and boring. I really do, she told AARP. I think every time we categorize peopleby weight, by race, by genderwe put them in boxes and its not a good thing for the world.

Kelly Osbourne has spoken out on accusations that she used Ozempic to lose baby weight, admitting it can be a 'miracle' drug if used in the correct way.

Kelly has been candid about her weight loss journey, particularly after she gave birth to her son.

The 39-year-old has been accused of using Ozempic, a medication used to treat type two diabetes but that has also been used for weight loss.

Although she has continuously insisted that she lost the weight on her own, Kelly has defended Ozempic.

Speaking to People magazine, the TV personality said: "I just have to clarify, I've never taken Ozempic.

"I don't know what Ozempic does to you other than what I saw it do to my mom.

"I think that it is the miracle drug in the right hands.

"The pros outweigh the cons, and if you really do research, the kind of medication and what it can do for you cognitively and what it does for the rest of your body, like I said, it's a miracle drug."

Kelly's mom Sharon lost 42 pounds on Ozempic, though she has admitted she feels she's now lost 'too much' weight.

Oprah Winfrey is another fellow famous face who has admitted to using the medication to slim down.

Kelly said she doesn't understand the criticism that has been directed towards Ozempic users: "For some reason, society is trying to paint it out to be a bad thing. And I don't understand why.

"If you need to lose some weight, who cares how you do it, as long as you're doing it in a healthy way."

Despite Kelly's defence of Ozempic, her mom has given a stark warning about its use.

The former X Factor judge said: "You can lose so much weight and its easy to become addicted to that, which is very dangerous.

"I couldnt stop losing weight and now Ive lost 42lb and I cant afford to lose any more."

In particular, the 71-year-old has insisted that teenagers shouldn't use the medication, calling it 'too easy'.

While speaking to Bill Maher on his podcast, Sharon opened up about the side effects of Ozempic: "I just throw up all the time and you feel so nauseous. However, the nausea didn't last forever, and after it passed.

"You're just not hungry."

Despite the unpleasant side effects, Sharon doesn't regret her Ozempic use as it helped her address her 'weight struggles'.

Sharon stopped using the drug in November, worrying that she had become too 'gaunt'.

Rebel Wilson "never thought" she could lose weight. The 44-year-old actress famously shed 77 pounds in 2020 following a course of intense diet and exercise but admitted that once she did manage to go on a health kick, she regretted not doing it sooner. She told Britain's OK! Magazine: "I never thought I could do it. Then in 2020, when I just really focused and did it, I felt sadness, because Im like, 'Im 40. Why did I not do it 10, 20 years ago?' I felt like this sadness, that Id hidden away from people and from relationships." The 'Pitch Perfect' actress has been looking back on her life so far as part of her memoir 'Rebel Rising' and noted that now was the right time to do it because she can truly reflect on her journey to Hollywood stardom rather than writing what she thinks would be a "boring book" about her body transformation. She said: "In 2020, I did this experiment called the year of health. And I lost a lot of weight. That garnered more attention than any movie Id ever done. Then I got an offer to write a book about it. It was going to be my year of health but when I got into thinking about my relationship with food and emotional eating I thought, Well, theres so many things about my life and past that go into this. And its boring to write a book about, Yeah, I exercise for two-and-a-half hours a day and drink eight glasses of water The 'Senior Year' star recalled not being able to "stand up" for herself at times when she was younger and would turn to food as a comfort as she ended up in a vicious cycle of "trashing" her own body. She said: "Being born a girl where I came from in Australia, I didnt stand up for myself sometimes. Or I was told to just shut up and be a good girl. Then, because I didnt feel that I was any good, I was feeding myself food that wasnt good. And it was like this whole cycle of like, 'Oh well, Ill just trash my own body.'"
