In a recent appearance on the U.K. talk show Loose Women, Sharon Osbourne, the renowned music manager, and television personality, opened up about her weight loss journey, shedding light on her use of Ozempic and the challenges she faced in maintaining a healthy weight.
The discussion, held on Monday, provided a glimpse into Sharon’s experience with the FDA-approved prescription medication Ozempic, primarily used to lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. Sharon revealed that she began using Ozempic in 2022, and the medication, coupled with diet and exercise, led to significant weight loss.
During the Loose Women interview, Sharon expressed that while the injections were effective, she now faces the challenge of being unable to gain weight. “The injections that I was on worked, but it just seems that now I can’t put anything on really,” she shared with the hosts.
Sharon, known for her openness about her weight struggles, acknowledged her impatience with previous weight loss methods, stating, “Everything with weight with me was ‘I want it now.’”
She elaborated on her desire for quick results and how it changed when she started using Ozempic. “I’m just an ordinary person who got lucky, and I didn’t take advantage of that,” she added. “I never want to forget I am blessed and been really lucky in my life.”
The revelation of Sharon’s use of Ozempic first came to light in a November 2023 interview with the Daily Mail. The medication, known for its effectiveness in weight management, is a type of semaglutide approved not only to lower blood sugar levels but also to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or death in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and known heart disease.
Sharon Osbourne Shared Her Experience with Ozempic
Sharon candidly shared her experience with the medication on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast in August 2023. She highlighted the initial challenges, including nausea and vomiting, before experiencing positive outcomes such as reduced hunger. Sharon cautioned against the medication’s use in teenagers, emphasizing its potential for addiction and the associated dangers.
The Osbournes alum disclosed that she lost 42 pounds due to the Ozempic treatment, but the journey took an unexpected turn. Despite the medication typically being intended for long-term use, Sharon decided to stop after a year as she found herself unable to stop losing weight. Speaking to Daily Mail, she mentioned, “I’m too gaunt, and I can’t put any weight on. I want to, because I feel I’m too skinny.”
In an interview with E! in September 2023, Sharon opened up about her history with weight fluctuations, revealing that she had lost too much weight with Ozempic. She expressed a desire to maintain a healthy balance and avoid becoming too thin.
During a December 2023 appearance on Good Morning Britain, Sharon reiterated her struggle, stating, “I could do with putting on a few pounds, but at this point, the way my body is, it’s not listening. It’s staying where it is.” In her recent appearance on Loose Women, Sharon expressed a desire to gain back 10 pounds, highlighting the ongoing challenges she faces in achieving her weight goals.
As Sharon Osbourne navigates this complex journey of weight management, her candidness sheds light on the complexities of using prescription medications for such purposes, emphasizing the importance of striking a balance between health and aesthetic goals.
