Whoopi Goldberg revealed she lost nearly 200 pounds while taking the diabetes drug Mounjaro.
Whoopi, 68, said she tipped the scale at 300 pounds before she lost the weight of “almost two people” while taking Mounjaro.
“The View” co-host revealed her trick to looking younger during a guest appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” on May 13.
“Every time I run into you, you look younger! You’re like Benjamin Button,” host Kelly Clarkson told Whoopi.
“I’m doing that wonderful shot that works for folks who need some help and it’s been really good for me,” Whoopi told Kelly. “It’s great for people like us who have, you know, issues.”

Whoopi said a woman thought she was wearing a fat suit on a movie set.
“I made a movie and a woman thought I was wearing a fat suit … I was indignant! I was like, this is not a fat suit, this is me! And then I saw me … I thought well, yeah, it does look like I’m wearing a fat suit,” Whoopi told Kelly.
Whoopi defended Clarkson on “The View” after the TV host denied taking Ozempic to lose weight.
“Kelly is getting backlash over this from people who say she previously claims she was losing weight by walking. Here’s a point about that: a lot of people are taking this shot because they need it,” Whoopi said on The View. “Some people need bodies jump-started, some have diabetes, there’s lots of reasons. She has been walking. But this has helped.”
Whoopi continued: “I don’t know why, because they kick her behind when she’s bigger, they kick her behind when she’s lost the weight. And now they’re kicking her behind because she said it out loud. Maybe she was more comfortable hearing somebody say, you know, ‘That’s what I did.’”
Kelly, who is diabetic, claims she’s taking a diabetes drug that helps her body “break down the sugar”, but she didn’t name the drug.
