Amy Tapper Defends Weight Loss Jabs After Shedding 7st

Gogglebox personality Amy Tapper, 25, has publicly defended her decision to use weight loss jabs, which have contributed to her shedding an impressive seven stone. Tapper revealed she began the medication in June of the previous year, feeling it was her only remaining option. She faced criticism from some fans who accused her of 'cheating' but remains firm in her choices.

Tapper shared that she had been close to undergoing bariatric surgery before her doctor recommended weight-loss medication as an alternative. Since starting the treatment, she has experienced a significant transformation, dropping from a size 26 to a size 18. This weight loss has profoundly impacted her confidence and daily life, allowing her to shop in normal stores and enjoy activities like theatre visits without discomfort.

The TV star emphasized that her journey with weight loss has been long, stating she has tried conventional methods like 'eat less, move more' for two decades without sustained success. Tapper asserted that her current approach works for her and that the criticism is unfounded, as she feels it shouldn't matter how one achieves their health goals. She highlighted that the medication has been life-changing, enabling her to feel like she has a 'whole new life'.
