Mum who tried weight loss injection after seeing it on TikTok says 'not worth it'

A mum who tried a weight loss injection she saw on TikTok said it is "not worth it" after suffering from headaches, missed periods and piling the weight she lost back on.

Zoe Smith, 30, decided to purchase the Saxenda injection for £480 from Asda after seeing it advertised on TikTok and claims it was "dangerously easy to buy". She said she wants to warn others about buying it.

The mum who tipped the scales at 17 stone and struggled to squeeze into a size 20 was keen to lose weight. She said she was unsuccessful in trying diet programmes like Weight Watchers and Slimming World, as well as shake detoxes and calorie deficits.
