Mum Who Lost 11 Stone on Mounjaro Confronts Physical and Social Aftereffects

Emilly Murray plans to taper off her private GLP-1 treatment within a year, then pursue surgery to remove loose skin.

Overview

  • Emilly Murray added Mounjaro injections in December 2024 after initially shedding six stone through diet and exercise.
  • By mid-August 2025 she had lost a total of 11 stone, dropping from 22st 1.5lbs to 10st 9.5lbs and moving into a UK size eight.
  • The GLP-1 drug relieved her “constant obsession” with food and halted binge-eating episodes, giving her newfound mental clarity around eating.
  • Rapid weight loss has resulted in loose, hollowed underarm skin, heightened bone discomfort in daily activities and critical comments from onlookers.
  • She intends to taper off Mounjaro over the next six to twelve months and pursue surgical and behavioural follow-up to sustain her weight loss.
