Rosie O'Donnell Shows Off Her Recent Weight Loss In A New Instagram Photo

The actress has been very active on social media lately, conducting interviews and talking about her new lifestyle outside the United States.

 

She confirmed that she decided to pack up her life and move to Ireland earlier this year for political reasons, explaining in a TikTok video she felt it was the "safest" and "best" thing to do for her family after President Donald Trump was re-elected for a second term.

 

The move abroad not only made Rosie feel safer, but she also stated in her video that she felt like her health was improving.

 

"I feel healthier [and] I'm sleeping better without the stress and anxiety over what was happening politically in the country," she said.

 

On Friday, May 23rd, the actress posted a photo of herself standing on a stage in a green sweater and wrote in the caption, "I can't believe this is me now." In her caption, she also included several hashtags, including #Mounjaro, #WeightLoss, and #BodyDismorphia.

 

This is not the first time the View alum has acknowledged her weight loss and experience with taking medications. In the TikTok video mentioned above, as she was updating her fans on her move, she also brought up being put on Mounjaro for her diabetes diagnosis.

Rosie O'Donnell Has Been Taking Mounjaro For Weight Loss

Mounjaro is a popular weight loss medication injection that's similar to bigger drugs like Ozempic, as it's often prescribed to people who have diabetes and need help losing weight. More celebrities have been open about their use of weight loss drugs, including Mounjaro, like Meghan Trainor, who recently announced that she had been taking it in combination with exercise and a healthy diet to lose weight.

 

The mom of five started getting candid about her latest weight loss and use of medications in 2023 when she made an Instagram reel for her followers, updating them when she lost 10 pounds after the holidays.

 

"I'm very happy," she said.

 

In April, she made another post, writing, "Happy to report I just bought a belt, as my new trousers were getting too big. It's been about 40 years since I wore one!"

 

In that post, the Flinstones star added another #Mounjaro and hinted that walking around Ireland has helped her lose an extra few. She also informed her fans with her previous content that eating less sugar had been helping her and that she found it "shocking" that she managed to go from a size XXL to a Large.

 

Rosie seems to be thriving in Ireland, not only enjoying the country's beauty and culture but also experiencing a fresh start and maintaining a healthy weight loss journey.
