Dolores Catania wants to lose more weight using Ozempic-like drug after dropping 20 pounds

Dolores Catania revealed that she’s trying to lose more weight after already weight-loss drug, Ozempic.

“I’m down 20 pounds,” Catania told the US Sun, while adding that her goal “is to be in the low 130s.”

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star explained that she weighed 157 pounds prior to taking Mounjaro, and she now weighs 137 pounds.

Catania began taking the diabetes-turned-weight-loss drug when she weighed 163 pounds and was “gaining weight every month.”

“It doesn’t happen overnight. It doesn’t come off easy,” she said during an event for her BELLA Around Town magazine cover launch party on Wednesday.

The Bravolebrity, 52, explained that she previously took Ozempic for two years before taking a break and turning to Mounjaro instead.

“I was medically prescribed for both, because I am insulin resistance/pre-diabetic and have a thyroid issue,” she continued. “I stopped taking it [Ozempic], because it was expensive and everything.”

Catania made sure to emphasize that besides using the once-weekly injectable, she also “work[s] out regularly” and “watch[es] what I eat.”

As for the trend of celebrities – and many of her fellow Bravolebrities – turning to the diabetes drug to shed some pounds, Catania admitted that it can be “questionable” at times, but all the doctors that she spoke to assured here there are “no” repercussions.

The mom of two previously got candid about her Mounjaro with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast where she explained she uses it for medical reasons.

“I’m going through menopause, I have a thyroid issue, I have inflammation and weight is hard to take off,” she spilled in April.

“And I work out, and I don’t eat crazy, and I was gaining weight, and it’s a lot of different layers. … Let’s just let everybody know.”

Catania joins several other Bravolebs who have fessed up to using it – Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi.
