[@grotty100]

That diagnosis is what prompted my latest weight loss. At this point I am 200lbs lighter than I was at my heaviest.

[@Kmojojo]

Same for me, I’ve lost about 30 KG after learning about my diagnosis recently

[@kevinpetroff5486]

I can't believe no one has said Congrats on here yet! That's a huge achievement! It's hard to lose even a little weight sometimes, much less 200 lbs! Good for you and I really mean that - I'm trying to lose just 50.

[@MymusicW630]

​@@kevinpetroff5486Go on Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro, like Kelly did. Even though she won't admit. There's nothing wrong with losing weight and getting healthy. She's on a daily show. She should've known, people would notice. Too bad she chose to not be honest and transparent. I'm happy for her regardless.

[@BeachNanny]

Congratulations, great job on losing your weight. I’ve lost weight too, and have lost a little over 100 pounds since my heaviest.

[@themeparkblondie]

You can actually be prescribed Ozempic if you are only “pre” diabetic. It is still filled as if you are actually diabetic (insurance wise) but doctors like to prescribe it as preventative care, so you don’t actually develop the disease

[@theFLshark]

A doctor could prescribe it, but for us average folks our insurance wouldn't cover it. Ozempic is for Diabetes. Wegovy (the same drug) is for weight loss...the dosages are different. I'm almost positive she used zepbound or wegovy to achieve those results that fast.

It’s better if you can do it the natural way.

​@@fullcirc9203Oprah has been telling everyone, YES, she used an injectable to lose weight and she's so happy to finally feel better and look better. However, she didn't mention any drug names. That's what Kelly should've done instead of all these BS excuses which just don't add up. Nobody is a fool. That's why people are commenting and disappointed in her lack of honesty and transparency, to her fans especially.

[@jujubees711]

I love Kelly. I think she's amazing. But I also think she was on Ozempic too. She's struggled with weight loss in the past and now it magically disappeared so quickly and easily? I just don't think she wants to advertise Ozempic.

50 pounds in a year isn't that quick, and it wasn't easy either.

Did you not hear her say that her doctor said she was close to getting diabetes? That's when she decided to do something. She has a trainer, and she's eating healthier. Definitely not ozempic

[@dianar7055]

EVERY celeb that has lost weight during and after the pandemic has been on Ozempic. They were the first ones on that drug bandwagon. From that Wilson girl, to Oprah, to Mo'nique, to Adele and yes Kelly. Whether they want to admit it or not, but they won't. Why? Because it's not our business how they lose weight. If they wanna say it like Oprah, fine. But again it's not our business.

[@MachelleBelle44]

I agree with you

[@MymusicW630]

Now she's saying, her dr told her she was pre-diabetic. Slowly, trying to admit, finally, the truth and what everyone has been saying. She used something.

[@jutru8782]

Definitely Ozempic, but it’s helping many lose weight and get healthier. If she’s listening to her Dr, good on her!

[@TropicalHonduranDominican]

No she did not . She did it naturally because she needs to be healthy

[@ChaCha-gx8tz]

Key words “ pre diabetic”, ozempic IS the drug for that . She looks great but why not admit it so other people facing pre diabetes get on board

[@KatiesArabVision]

I think the pre diabetic thing was a cop out because she thinks people will think less of her knowing she’s on ozempic. But we won’t and it’s none of our business I think she looks great

[@Robert_Armstrong]

it don't have to be Ozempic, if they don't say Ozempic maybe she never took it and good for her. Also, not saying it, don't mean she did not. Also, if she took Mounjaro, which is better any way, she never took Ozempic. The phrasing of words they give sometimes can be telling. It's crazy people would be afraid to say they took a med or be criticized for it. Even with it, they still need a caloric deficit to achieve weight loss, but it sure helps with a person appetite and makes it easier to get that caloric deficit and having a balanced diet is rather important. You are so right, however she did it, she is listening to her doctor and getting healthier.

[@user-mv2tg8hc8c]

It’s hard to believe it’s only diet and exercise because she dropped weight incredibly fast!!!!

[@LVLexus]

It's hard to believe because we know it's not true. Nothing wrong with her keeping her health personal but let's not pretend it was just diet and exercise. She dropped really fast and she has struggled with her weight for years.

[@evitaevita98]

Exactly!

[@rickiek.267]

How's that hard to believe? Just changing diet drops 10-20lbs easy, then mix exercising with that, lbs drop pretty fast. I've done it a few times, I just like food and gain the weight back. Of course everyone's body is different. I bet she had a trainer.

[@LVLexus]

@@rickiek.267 she’s struggled with her weight for a long time. The question comes in around how fast she dropped the weight. Dropping that much that fast for a woman her age typically doesn’t happen with the modifications you are suggesting.

[@lexlopez15]

i believe it. i was 162 pounds at my heaviest when I was diagnosed with prediabetes. when my dr. said it's reversible with proper diet and exercise I immediately got to it. working out 4-5 days a week and cutting carbs from dinners for a month or 2 I managed to knock off 20 pounds and I have remained there for the past 4 yrs now. and am no longer prediabetic, however since it runs in my family I can easily fall back into that bracket so now I'm used to eating much healthier and try to exercise at least 3 times a week...once you cross over to that full diabetic side it's nearly impossible to come back from it.

[@BambiBryant]

She just said she was on the edge of having diabetes, then waited two years, and she got diagnosed with diabetes. So of course she got Ozympic! She didn’t even need to be sneaky about it since she was morbidly obese and diabetic. That’s why she never denies using Ozympic- she’s on it. She’s dieting and exercising too, but it’s ok to admit you’re having help through medication as well.

That’s what happened to me also. I’m not pre diabetic anymore and never want to be there ever again. “The pandemic weight gain”

[@ryandeffley7652]

As a certified personal trainer with 20 years of experience, my opinion is that Kelly did it naturally without the use of Ozempic. Losing 50lbs/12 months averages around only 1lb per week. This fully tracks with a sustainable calorie deficit from a higher protein diet and increased daily walking. If she'd used Ozempic, the weight loss would've been a lot faster. But since she did it gradually, this aligns with the weekly/monthly grind of gradual dedication. 💯

Actual fans of Kelly know that she doesn't use ozempic. She's honest enough to have admitted it by now.

[@HomelandUSA]

Regardless of whether she's taking shots or medication to assist in weight loss, it's not a magical solution for shedding pounds; it's merely a tool to aid in the process. Kelly likely maintains a healthy diet and, as she mentions, engages in regular walks around the city. I trust Kelly's honesty with her fans; however, weight loss ultimately relies on discipline. You can try all the magic pills or shots, but success comes down to having the right mindset.

She used Wegovy or Zepbound. She said she didn't use gummies or diet pills, which she didn't. She didn't use Ozempic because ozempic is for diabetics.

[@fullcirc9203]

On the talk show she has I noticed she looks a little below her ideal body weight since her teeth looked too big for her face. That is not eating right and exercising.

[@jacksyoutubechannel4045]

Everyone who thinks it _has_ to be Ozempic has the memory of a goldfish. Kelly has lost weight -- significant amounts -- before, without Ozempic available. Not only that, but anyone alive and female in the '90s and '00s watched celebrities (and real people in their own lives) lose significant amounts of weight -- and often gain it back, and lose it again, and on, and on. This is definitely possible without something like Ozempic.
