Former child actress Amanda Bynes has opened up to fans about her weight loss progress while using Ozempic. The ex-Nickelodeon star revealed on social media that she has lost 20 pounds so far and set a weight loss goal of 50 pounds, RadarOnline.com can confirm.
Bynes expressed her excitement about the progress she’s made after switching from a GLP-1 oral medication to an injectable form of Ozempic.
### Bynes Shares Ozempic Journey Update
Amanda Bynes first announced she was taking Ozempic in June. Ozempic is a medication primarily prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes but has become popular for weight loss support. The actress decided to try Ozempic after struggling with weight gain and wanting to “look better in paparazzi pictures.”
At the time, she shared, “Oh, I’m going on Ozempic. So excited. I’m 173 now, so I hope to get down to like 130, which would be awesome, so I look better in paparazzi pictures.”
After months of silence on the topic, the 39-year-old provided an update on her progress in a rare Instagram Story video on Wednesday, November 5.
“I wanted to make a quick post to give a quick update on my Ozempic journey,” Bynes began. “I’ve lost 20 pounds so far. I’m so excited about that to be honest.”
Despite the positive results, Bynes made it clear she still has more weight to lose. “I want to lose about 15 more pounds,” she shared.
The *She’s the Man* star also revealed she has tried both the pill and injectable forms of Ozempic, noting fluctuations in her weight during that time.
“I’m 163 now. I actually shot up on the Ozempic pill to 180 from 173, I was able to lose 20 pounds from 180, and now I’m down to 163 on the Ozempic injection,” Bynes explained. “So, I’m really glad that I’m on the injection, it’s really working for me.”
She added, “I’m trying to lose more weight just to feel skinny and cute, so I will keep taking Ozempic.”
### Experimenting With Her Look
Since her well-publicized mental health struggles in 2013, Amanda Bynes has been experimenting with her appearance in various ways. She has tried multiple hairstyles, from jet black extensions to bleached blonde blocks, and periodically dyes her eyebrows black.
In addition to changing up makeup styles, Bynes has adorned her face with a heart tattoo on her cheek and pierced her septum. Like many celebrities, she has also embraced cosmetic procedures to enhance her look.
### Bynes’ Previous Cosmetic Procedures
In August, Bynes shared a photo showing her freshly plumped lips following filler injections. Earlier, in December 2023, she revealed she underwent blepharoplasty surgery to remove excess skin around her eyelids.
Reflecting on the procedure, Bynes said, “It was one of the best things I could’ve ever done for my self-confidence, and it made me feel a lot better in my skin.”
