Amy Schumer has left her fans in tears as she shared a comical update on how her weight loss journey's going.
Schumer has been extremely honest about her experiences taking weight loss medication and the side effects she's experienced.
In recent years, the I Feel Pretty star said she tried Ozempic but the drug left her 'bedridden'.
She successfully lost 30 pounds, but because of the way it made her feel, she questioned if it was all worth it. Schumer felt so unwell that she found herself unable to play with her young son.

Chatting to Howard Stern on his radio show in January, the actress shared: "So, I tried Ozempic almost three years ago and I was like, bedridden. I was like, vomiting — and then you have no energy. But other people take it and they’re all good. God bless them."
She also shared that she has a gene that makes her more prone to nausea.
Schumer continued: "I tried it and I was vomiting and I’m in bed and my son’s like, ‘Can you play tag?’ I’m like, ‘I can’t.’ I was shriveling."
Now, the comedian has moved over to Mounjaro, which is another type of diabetes drug that works for weight loss.

As she had been when taking Ozempic, Schumer has been open about her Mounjaro journey too and shared a hilarious video to her Instagram page in recent days.
"Hey, Amy here," her video began. "I just wanted to say, again, I'm loving being on Mounjaro... am I saying that right? Mounjaro?"
Schumer went on: "I haven't found it's affected anything, my meals are still very satisfying, and they give me a lot of energy."
As she said this, the Kinda Pregnant star starting eating some food from a tiny bowl. After taking one mouthful, Schumer quipped that she was 'full' and started laughing.
The tongue-in-cheek video has left her Instagram followers in fits of laugher, with one person dubbing the clip as 'hilarious'.
As well as her weight loss journey, Schumer is also very candid about other parts of her life; including her sex life with her husband Chris Fischer.
In February, she and Fischer marked their seventh wedding anniversary and revealed that they had sex to celebrate (as many couples do).
Seemingly implying that they only do the deed once a year, Schumer went on to quip that they do it on birthdays too.
