Tracey Mummery, 41, from Medway, Kent, has halved her bodyweight from 20st to 10st after years of struggling with her weight, and says people often do not recognise her in the street.
At her heaviest, the 5ft 6ins retail supervisor weighed 20st and wore a dress size 24. She has since slimmed down to a size 8 and now wears tight-fitting gym clothes, a change she says has transformed her style.
From Takeaways to a New Lifestyle
Tracey started her weight loss journey in May 2025 after struggling with her weight since her teenage years. She says she used to eat full English breakfasts, crisps, baguettes, sweets and a litre of full-fat Coke daily, and would order takeaways up to five nights per week.
She estimates she spent up to £100 per week on fast food deliveries, totalling around £4,800 per year. She also regularly took a large 350g bar of chocolate to bed with her.
Tracey decided to use Mounjaro, ordering the medication from an online pharmacy. She stopped using it in March.
Hard Work Behind the Transformation
Tracey says she is "infuriated" by comments that Mounjaro is the "lazy way" to lose weight, insisting she combined the medication with calorie counting, macro tracking, gym sessions and walks.
"I didn't rely on Mounjaro completely; it was a tool," she said. "I worked really hard - I was calorie counting, tracking my macros, going to the gym, going out on walks. I've worked really, really hard - you don't just jab Mounjaro once a week and then the weight melts away."
She now urges other women considering weight loss to "go for it", saying her only regret is waiting so long to start.
