And she has credited the medication with turning her life around, after going from 13st 3lbs to 9st 2lbs.

Charlie has shared her Mounjaro journey on her TikTok page but continues to be targeted by trolls, who criticize her for continuing to use the injections.

However, at one new videoCharlie, who is still technically considered ‘overweight’ on the BMI scale, explained that the drug is the reason she has managed to lose weight.

“I’m a size 8, I weigh 129 pounds and I take weight loss injections,” she said.

“You see, I wasn’t even 129 pounds when I started and I wasn’t a size 8 when I started.

“Since I’m on weight-loss medication, I think it’s logical that I’ve lost weight.

“Shock, horror!”

In fact, Charlie thinks she will stay on Mounjaro all her life, after finally finding something that works for her.

She pays £160 a month for the injections, after going from a starting dose of 2.5mg to 10mg with her supplier Cloud pharmacy glad that people are using the drug long term.

“I don’t think I’ll ever stop,” she said.

“You see, I started with a BMI of 36.

“I was a size 18 and weighed 13 pounds and I was miserable.

“Absolutely miserable.

“I yo-yo dieted for about 10 years — honestly, a never-ending cycle.”

Charlie, who has gone from a size 18 and a BMI of 36 to a size 8 and a BMI of 25.5, is still technically considered “overweight” on the Body Mass Index scale.

For her height, she would need a BMI of 24.9 to be considered a “healthy weight,” the paper said. NHS Calculator.

However, there have been calls for the health body to scrap the BMI scale completely as some call it ‘outdated’ as it does not take into account people’s body frame or muscle mass index.

Despite Charlie’s video, trolls were still active in the comments section, with one writing: “You don’t need it anymore and it’s ridiculous that you do!”

“I’ll just come back,” Charlie responded, adding that she “works for it and pays for it… it doesn’t hurt anyone else.”

She wrote in response to another comment: “Diabetics continue to take this drug for the rest of their lives – there is no more danger to me than to them.

“They have a disease and I have one too. How come it’s acceptable to them but not to me?

“My brain thinks about food all day long. The medicines ensure that this stops.

‘So I can eat healthy and make good choices. Without living a torturous life of denying myself.”

“So weird how weight works. I’m a size 10 and weigh 13 stone!” another commented.

“No one believes me when I say how much I weigh, because people who are a lot bigger than me weigh the same as me.”

“Height makes a big difference,” replied Charlie, who is 6 feet tall.

“I don’t see it as anything other than taking blood pressure medications… you don’t stop taking them just because they worked!” said someone else.

“You do it, baby!!”
