Kelly revealed that she had been on the weight loss jab since October and had lost almost 6st.
She said: “I just wanted to share my progress, started in October at 15 and a half stone.
“I’m now at 9 stone 8 so almost six stone down.”
Kelly revealed she was just one stone away from her goal weight, so didn’t have long to go.

“Feeling fantastic mentally and physically,” she added.
But Kelly revealed the weight loss journey hasn’t always been smooth sailing.
While Kelly no longer suffered with side effects, at the beginning she did and it would leave her with sleepless nights.
She said she struggled with restless leg syndrome which made it difficult to sleep.
“The hardest was restless leg on a night,” she explained.
But she was able to find a simple way to battle the side effect using magnesium.
Magnesium helps relax muscles and can be purchased for £6.50 at Boots for a month’s worth of supply.
The post soon went viral on the Facebook group, mounjaro ozempic wegovy weight loss support, and people were quick to congratulate Kelly on her weight loss.
One person wrote: “Well done you look amazing and younger.”
Another commented: “Omg well done, you look amazing.”
What are the other side effects of weight loss jabs?
Like any medication, weight loss jabs can have side effects.
Common side effects of injections such as Ozempic include:
Nausea: This is the most commonly reported side effect, especially when first starting the medication. It often decreases over time as your body adjusts.
Vomiting: Can occur, often in conjunction with nausea.
Diarrhea: Some people experience gastrointestinal upset.
Constipation: Some individuals may also experience constipation.
Stomach pain or discomfort: Some people may experience abdominal pain or discomfort.
Reduced appetite: This is often a desired effect for people using Ozempic for weight loss.
Indigestion: Can cause a feeling of bloating or discomfort after eating.
Serious side effects can also include:
Pancreatitis: In rare cases, Ozempic may increase the risk of inflammation of the pancreas, known as pancreatitis, which can cause severe stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting.
Kidney problems: There have been reports of kidney issues, including kidney failure, though this is uncommon.
Thyroid tumors: There’s a potential increased risk of thyroid cancer, although this risk is based on animal studies. It is not confirmed in humans, but people with a history of thyroid cancer should avoid Ozempic.
Vision problems: Rapid changes in blood sugar levels may affect vision, and some people have reported blurry vision when taking Ozempic.
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Especially if used with other medications like sulfonylureas or insulin.
“You look great,” penned a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “OMG you look gorgeous, well done.”
“You’ve done amazingly well, congratulations,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Looking great too. Fantastic progress.”
