A WOMAN who has lost almost six stone in just nine months on Mounjaro has hit back at trolls calling it the “easy way out”.
Lucy began her journey on weight loss injections in September 2024, and is just a few pounds away from an incredible six stone loss.
She’s been keeping her followers updated throughout the process, but has found herself targeted by some cruel trolls taking aim at her decision to go down the Mounjaro route.
Trolls were more than a little active in the comments section of a TikTok Lucy recently posted about “four things I wish I’d known before starting my Mounjaro journey”.
Her tips included avoiding fizzy drinks to keep nausea at bay, drinking peppermint tea to help with any gastro issues, and drinking three litres of water a day instead of two for fewer side effects.
In the comments, one person wrote: “Lazy and uneducated…why else would you take this poison knowing how harmful it is and that you could get the same results by having just a tiny bit of discipline to be in control of what you eat?”
“Realising you’ve lost loads of vital muscle strength and memory because you’re were too lazy to do it naturally,” another sighed.
“Imagine injecting (s**t) rather than just putting a bit of effort into life,” a third raged.
“Maybe you should have taught yourself to live a healthy lifestyle and been an example to your family?” someone else said.
“You don’t deserve any praise because you and others have cheated,” another added.
“I’ve done it myself without chemicals.”
“Very very bad for the human body,” someone else insisted.
However, Lucy responded to the criticism in another TikTok, as she said she’d be a rich woman if she got a pound anytime she had anyone accuse her of taking the “easy way out”.
“If taking an injection stops me from eating crap, eating junk, helps with mental issues to do with food, emotional eating then I’m going to do it,” she said.
“For over 15 years I tried to lose weight and I only ended up losing a bit and then putting on even more. Never worked. Mentally couldn’t do it.
“So yeah I suppose I am taking the easy way out, if that’s the way you want to put it.”
Lucy added that in her job she used to do “at least” 15,000 steps a day, so it was never a case of her not exercising enough – it was just because she ate “ridiculous amounts”, which Mounjaro stopped.
“The amount of money I spend on Mounjaro a month, I’ve saved, because I don’t buy the takeaways and the junk and the crap I used to,” she added.
“So yeah, I suppose I am taking the easy way out!”
And others defended Lucy with their remarks, with one writing: “All the Karens in the comment section calling it lazy and been negative about MJ !!!! Just a reminder to YOU ALL !!!!!!!
“WHAT HAS IT GOT TO DO WITH ANY OF YOU WHO TAKES MOUNJARO ??????
“Sick as fluff because none of you can afford it probably.”
“Well done,” another added.
“Ignore the men and women with internal misogyny, you know why you needed the jabs and that’s all that matters – you achieved what you wanted and you worked damn hard for it.”
“Well done, you look amazing and I hope this post helps others on the same journey,” a third commented.
