Jonathan Van Ness Shares Weight Loss Photos
Van Ness shared side-by-side photos of himself on his Instagram storybefore starting his weight loss journey and after. Captioning the photos, he explained how he did it: "I want to note, GLP-1s have been a huge help," he began. GLP-1 is short for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, which essentially curb feelings of hunger. Ozempic is an example of a GLP-1.
"I have also made other changes," he continued. "First was my diet, obvs, second was way less alcohol, and finally group pilates which has been most pivotal. My mental health and overall feeling is a different universe since last year and the biggest change was group fitness. Overall though, I'm so proud of myself and want to share. Take what works for you and leave the rest."

This isn't the first time Van Ness has shared looks into his weight loss journey: he's posted on TikTok about it numerous times, and fans have always told him how much they appreciate his openness. "I really appreciate you using this as a learning/teaching opportunity," one person commented. "Adore you as always!"

"So glad it's working for you!" another posted.
