Why would anyone be jealous of someone that had lost so much weight (intentionally) that their previous attractive, pretty look had become hard and harsh? Far too many people I see that looked lovely have Ozempicked their way to bony, hard features and skinniness. OK you're a size 8 but take a real look in the mirror. Do you REALLY look better? It's not up to me, people can do what they want but I think it's a one way ticket to ageing faster than you need to.

Losing cutaneous fat is not helpful to maintaining your looks as you get older.
Not enough is known yet about ozempic and other weight loss drugs.
Essentially all prescribed with them are guinea pigs to an extent... as we were with covid injections. We are still learning. The benefits probably outweigh the risks for people who need to lower their weight for medical reasons... but for those taking it for more vanity reasons they are not necessarily going to like either the side effects or the longer term impact on their lives.
Just look at the emerging information about injectable fillers... that they don't really dissolve away, they disperse and can expand on their own.
Knowledge about drugs and treatments continues to expand as more people experience them.
My stance is that any drug or treatment needs to be medically necessary; it needs to be better than any alternative approach; and the benefits need to outweigh the current known risks.
I have sympathy with people in the public eye, as there are thousands of eyes on them, and plenty with opinions which may be quite destructive. The temptation to become slimmer by a quicker route must be enormous.
I hope all the Q guests and presenters lose weight in a healthy way and stop before they go too far.

Dangerous to muck around with Mother Nature, but since I don't know the people on QVC, I don't have much sympathy for them (unless they would be seriously ill, and then I would be sorry.)

Saw Keeley yesterday doing Elemis Black Friday. Looks like words got round re Ozempic (sp). Newly thin to match her new teeth & new forehead.

Think she was on verge of being diabetic. Know she had some health issues along with other things and was taking lot of supplements and started to exercise coupled with changing her diet. She had discount code from company she was using

Think I read somewhere that being on tv makes you look 1to 2 sizes larger than you actually are. In that case some of them must be real Skinny Binnies in real life.

Some of them look as if their heads are too big for their bodies.

Jenny must be microscopic, in that case.

Of course she did (have a discount code)

She might think that her girlfriend was jealous of her weight loss. In my experience, it's dangerous to talk to people about their weight. They usually don't appreciate it and often take offense. If she's really ill, her mother or husband will step in.

Was in news last week someone had died whilst taking Ozempic. The other details escape me.

Linked to 10 deaths apparently. The Health Secretary said about Ozempic:

‘These are not cosmetic drugs that should be taken to help get a body beautiful picture for Instagram.

‘These are serious medicines and should only be used responsibly and under medical supervision.’

Is this what people have become? Social media has a lot to answer for.

People want a quick fix so that they don't have to wait to be slimmer.
Rapid weigh loss is not recommended in thr vast majority of cases. Those who are at severe risk of death or serious illness are the ones who may need rapid weight loss.
Some are treating weight loss drugs as the modern-day version of the "get beach body fit" diets which were so popular in the women's mags back in the day.
There are very unpleasant side effects that can occur. And that's if they are buting the real thing not some dodgy fake. They don't understand that for better or worse they may have to continue on these drugs for a long time or permanently otherwise the weight they loose, and more, could come piling back on.
I'm all for optimism, but it baffles me that people put so little thought into their one and only body. They do things to their bodies that cannot be undone.
No doubt there will be lawsuits when people wake up to the implications of taking drugs meant for those already too unwell to lose weight on their own... all for vanity. It can't be worth it. If people feel in mental torment about their weight, counselling or other psychological help may be a better bet. Unfortunately the health service is rather short of mental health specialists. A tablet or injection is quicker and cheaper than the therapy... but to me they aren't really addressing the cause, just treating the symptoms.
That can be as true for any presenters guestsor models at Q who we speculate have gone down that route.
