AMY Kane, 35, may have lost half her weight on fat jabs, but now, she’s found herself at the center of a barrage of abuse from nasty trolls.
The mum-of-three, from Chicago, USA, topped the scales at 21 stone prior to using Ozempic.

With a Body Mass Index of 65, which classified her as severely obese, Amy decided she needed to take matters into her own hands and began using weight loss injections.
In less than two years, Amy, who started on the jabs in December 2022, went from a size 28 to a tiny size 8.
And after losing 12 stone, Amy now weighs just 9 stone.
The mother recently opened up to Fabulous about her impressive weight loss – and claimed that while it gave her ‘Mounjaro butt’ and cost her more than £10,000 to have her loose skin removed, it did improve things more than she could have ever imagined in the bedroom.
But now, in a clip that was recently uploaded online, Amy has found herself subject to an array of nasty comments from haters who have criticised her new ‘Ozempic body’.
In the six-second video, the content creator danced around her bedroom to Imma Be by Black Eyed Peas.
The brunette wore a black underwear set as she confidently smiled, proudly showing off her slim frame.
Alongside the video, Amy beamed: “Literally nothing makes me happier than my Ozempic body.”
Since slimming down, the influencer confessed to feeling “healthy and happy.”
But Amy’s TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @amyinhalf, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up 3.2 million views.
Not only this, but her video has also amassed 88,700 likes and 2,635 comments.
And keyboard warriors were out in full force in the comments of Amy’s clip – with many slamming her new look as “disturbing.”
‘Godzilla’ of fat jabs
Dr Mitra Dutt, a GP from Lloyds Pharmacy Online Doctor, says: “Mounjaro works by activating two hormonal receptors (GIP and GLP-1), which enhance insulin production, improve insulin sensitivity and work to decrease food intake.”
Saxenda, which contains the active ingredient liraglutide, is another weight loss jab that’s been available on the NHS since 2020.
While Mounjaro is hailed as the “King Kong” fat jabs, a new weight loss drug dubbed “Godzilla” looks set to displace it.
Containing the active ingredient retatrutide, slimmers trying the drug lost up to 29 per cent of their weight in less than a year.
By comparison, trial results showed semaglutide, known as Ozempic, could lead to 15 per cent weight loss and tirzepatide, aka Mounjaro, to 23 per cent.
Retatrutide acts on three different receptors in the brain, “turbocharging” calorie burning while dulling hunger pangs.
Existing weight-loss jabs only suppress appetite, whereas the new treatment also speeds up metabolism.
The new drug is still undergoing clinical trials so it’s not yet known if it will be made available on the NHS.
One person said: “You look sick.”
Another added: “This is so sad and scary.”
And this is why you don’t take Ozempic for weight loss

A third commented: “It’s disgusting and disturbing.”
Meanwhile, one woman questioned: “This cant be normal?”
Not only this, but one user gasped: “Y’all if this isn’t an advertisement to lose weight without Ozempic, idk what is.”
At the same time, someone else agreed: “And this is why you don’t take Ozempic for weight loss.”

What to do if you lose too much weight too quickly whilst on Mounjaro
IF you’re losing too much weight too quickly while on Mounjaro, it’s important to take action to avoid potential health risks like muscle loss, malnutrition, dehydration, and fatigue. Here’s what you can do:
Evaluate Your Caloric Intake
Mounjaro reduces appetite, which can make it easy to eat too little. If you’re losing weight too fast (more than two to three lbs per week after the initial adjustment period), try:
- Tracking your food intake to ensure you’re eating enough calories (apps like MyFitnessPal can help).
- Increasing protein intake to preserve muscle mass (aim for 0.6–1g per pound of body weight).
- Adding healthy fats and complex carbs (e.g., avocados, nuts, whole grains) for balanced energy.
Adjust Your Dosage (With Doctor’s Approval)
If your weight loss is too rapid or causing side effects, your doctor may:
- Pause dose increases or lower your dosage.
- Adjust your treatment plan to stabilise your weight loss.
Strength Training & Exercise
To prevent muscle loss:
- Incorporate resistance training at least two to three times per week.
- Stay active with low-impact exercises like walking or yoga.
Hydrate & Manage Electrolytes
- Drink enough water (Mounjaro can reduce thirst).
- Electrolytes matter – Consider adding magnesium, sodium, and potassium if you feel weak or fatigued.
Monitor for Malnutrition & Deficiencies
Rapid weight loss can cause vitamin/mineral deficiencies (especially B12, iron, and electrolytes). If you experience:
- Fatigue, hair loss, or dizziness, ask your doctor about supplements.
Consider Further Medical Guidance
If your weight loss is excessive or causing health concerns, speak with your healthcare provider.
They might adjust your dosage, diet, or exercise plan to help stabilise your weight loss.
