Mia Rose, 49, was 26.5st and bingeing on alcohol and drugs every weekend. She would start on Thursdays and drink until the weekend. Mia would also take up to six grams of cocaine over a weekend.

Mia lost 11st by herself and then used Mounjaro to lose another 7st. She now weighs 8st 9lbs and wears size 8 clothes.
