Amanda Bynes has revealed how Ozempic has made a difference to her body.
The 39-year-old, who is widely known for her roles in Nickelodeon shows, She’s the Man, and What a Girl Wants, has been out of the limelight for nearly two decades.
Having left Hollywood in 2010 after a public breakdown, fans have been watching her journey and following her life updates.
From wanting to go into fashion, beauty, or podcasting, Bynes has let us know what she’s been up to every step of the way.

But now, it’s Ozempic. Back in June, the actor revealed on her social media accounts that she intended to use the popular GLP-1 medication to drop pounds.
After months of silence, she’s finally given fans the details of how she has found the drug.
Bynes posted a video to her Instagram on Wednesday (October 5) and revealed things didn’t go smoothly at first, but the weight dropped off after an initial hitch.
“I've lost 20 pounds so far. I'm so excited about that, to be honest. Also, I want to lose about 50 more pounds,” she said, adding her hopes for the next few months.
“I'm 163 now,” Bynes admitted. “I actually shot up on the Ozempic pill, shot up to 180 from 173. So, I was able to lose 20 pounds from 180 and now I'm down to 163 on the Ozempic injection.”
She went on to say: “I'm really glad I'm on the injection, It's really working for me.
“And I'm trying to lose more weight just to feel skinny and cute. So I will keep taking Ozempic and I just wanted to post about it because I know that I hadn't made a post about my progress on Ozempic since I posted about it months ago.”
Back in June, Bynes told her fans that her aim was to ‘get down to like 130’.
Ozempic, a medication intended for people with Type-2 diabetes, has become popular among those who want to lose weight.
Bynes sadly revealed she decided to start using the drug was due to her view on her body.
She said online: “So I hope I look better in paparazzi pictures, and you don't see my double chin from strange angles.”
Her update comes just months after she revealed she would be joining OnlyFans to communicate with her fans.
It’ll cost around $50 to subscribe to, but you’ll see all the behind-the-scenes of Bynes’ life, some stories about her past, and more.
