Here's How Whoopi Goldberg Lost the Weight of "Almost Two People" on Mounjaro After 65
Weight-loss drugs offer many options to consider these days, making the decision a tad overwhelming. All of the drugs have the same job: They act as hormones to basically trick your brain into believing your body is full, thereby helping you eat less. Many celebs have hopped on the bandwagon. In fact, Whoopi Goldberg had excellent results while taking Mounjaro after 65 years of age. In fact, she lost the weight of "almost two people." Here's how she lost that much weight.
She Weighed Nearly 300 Pounds
The actress, who is now 70 years old, shared on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" in 2024, "I made (2022 drama 'Till') and a woman thought I was wearing a fat suit … And I was indignant, this is not a fat suit, this is me."
At the time, Goldberg weighed nearly 300 pounds. She knew she needed to take charge of her health and make essential lifestyle adjustments.
She Knew It Was Time To "Take Responsibility"
According to Goldberg, her body weight has fluctuated, but it has never been a true "issue" for her, because she doesn't focus on what others say.
"But I think it's very hard for people to just know what a normal weight would be. … Everyone has something to say but no one said, 'How you doing?' Because it involves so many other things … I always felt like me, and then I saw me and thought, 'Oh, that's a lot of me.' You have to take responsibility for yourself and see what's going on with your body," Goldberg shared (via TODAY).
She Took Mounjaro and Lost the Weight of "Almost Two People"
The celeb spoke with Clarkson about taking weight-loss drugs, saying, "I'm doing that wonderful shot that works for folks who need some help and it's been really good for me … I've lost almost two people."
Goldberg confirmed that one key player in her weight loss was Mounjaro, according to PEOPLE.
What To Know About Mounjaro
Mounjaro is a very popular choice of GLP-1 medications, because it imitates two hormones at the same time—GLP-1 and GIP. Other drugs, including Ozempic, only mimic one hormone, GLP-1. Studies reveal that the double-targeting Mounjaro does can result in significantly higher weight loss.
