Watch: Amanda Bynes Reveals She Lost 28 Pounds With Ozempic
Amanda Bynes is celebrating a fitness milestone.
The Easy A actress recently revealed that she’s lost nearly 30 lbs. using Ozempic, sharing how it’s pushing her to continue her health goals.
“I usually don’t like paparazzi pictures bc I was 180lbs but now I’ve lost 28lbs on Ozempic,” she wrote over a paparazzi picture of herself in a Dec. 22 Instagram Stories post. “I’m down to 152lbs. I know I still look big but this photo is really inspiring to me!”
In the off-guard photo, the 39-year-old wore ripped jeans, a Lady Gaga graphic T-shirt, and a petite blue handbag.
Last year, Amanda shared how her mental health struggles led to her weight gain, and expressed her desire to make some lifestyle changes.
“I’ve gained over 20lbs in the past few months from being depressed,” the Nickelodeon alum wrote in a March 2024 Instagram Story. “I’m doing a lot better now and have learned to do opposite action when I don’t feel like working out or eating clean.”
At the time, she noted, “I weigh 162lbs right now and want to get back to 110lbs.”

Alongside her message was a screenshot of an Apple Fitness summary, which depicted how she’d surpassed her move goal by over 150 calories for that day, as well as that she walked almost 15,000 steps.

Bynes had an impressive career in both TV and film but walked away from Hollywood after her role in the 2010 movie “Easy A,” citing both negative experiences in the industry and a desire to focus on fashion and cosmetology.
In the years that have followed, the “She’s the Man” star has struggled with mental health issues and was even placed under a conservatorship from August 2013 to March 2022.
She continues to experiment with her appearance, undergoing cosmetic eyelid surgery in 2023 and getting lip filler in August.
