Hitting pause. Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi revealed she is taking a break from Ozempic injections after she shed more pounds than expected.
“When I started semaglutide shots, I was 138 pounds. Now, I’m about 110 pounds.

“Will I come off of it? Maybe. Will I gain it all back? Maybe. But for now, I’m enjoying the way I look. I’m enjoying what it’s doing for me,” she added. “I encourage it to anybody who’s having a hard time losing weight and wants the ‘easy route.’ Summer is around the corner.”
