Amanda Bynes Credits Ozempic For Weight Loss With VERY Candid Reveal!
by Perez Hilton · Perez HiltonLook who is back on our feeds — and telling it like it is!
Amanda Bynes just gave fans a surprisingly honest update about her body, her mindset, and her Ozempic journey. And TBH it’s just what we needed, because it’s refreshing, hopeful, vulnerable, and very Amanda.
So, the former child star popped up on Instagram on Monday night to share a paparazzi photo that had been taken of her out and about in sunny El Lay. In it, she was rocking a white Lady GaGa t-shirt and ripped blue jeans.
And while Amanda admitted in her IG Stories post that she usually cringes at unsolicited camera snaps, this one hit differently for her — because for the first time in a long time, she actually liked what she saw staring back at her!
Amanda didn’t sugarcoat anything. She openly shared that she started her Ozempic journey while weighing 180 pounds, and she’s now dropped 28 pounds. That’s a BIG change! And she made it clear the photo wasn’t about impressing anyone else, but about motivating herself and acknowledging progress she feels proud of. She wrote:
“I usually don’t like paparazzi pictures bc I was 180lbs but now I’ve lost 28lbs on ozempic! I’m down to 152lbs. I know I still look big, but this photo is really inspiring to me!”
Snaps and claps!
That kind of raw honesty is not something we see every day in Lala-land, and especially when it comes to self-image and pressure to look perfect at all times. Amanda admitting she still feels “big” while also allowing herself to feel inspired is some real (and vulnerable!) talk.
As we’ve been reporting, Amanda began using Ozempic over the summer and has mentioned setting a personal goal of reaching 130 pounds. Whether or not she gets there, she’s definitely started to find success. And more than that, it’s clear she’s feeling more confident and optimistic about her health and her future — which is what actually matters!
And let’s not forget, this glow-up isn’t just physical. A couple months back, it was revealed Amanda has also been seeing a new guy. Between weight loss, renewed confidence, and a budding romance, things seem to be clicking into place for her.
After everything Amanda has been through over the years, it’s nice to see her feeling comfortable enough to share her truth with the world. Call it a comeback, a new chapter, or just a woman reclaiming her narrative, but one thing’s for sure: Amanda is feeling herself again.
And we love to see it!!! How about U, Perezcious readers?! Drop your reactions in the comments (below)!
