Sophie then turned around and showed how her jeans looked from behind, as she said "there's nothing" where her bum used to be.
"I have no ass!" she exclaimed.
"Look at her!"

She then asked for recommendations for "jeans that give you an ass".
Sophie added that she's bought two pairs of jeans from online retailer Halara that are on the way, but she doesn't know if they'll even fit.
As she modelled her current jeans, in a size 12, she pulled at the denim round the bottom and thighs to show that there's very little filling it out.
"So yeah any advice guys, because I've got no ass," she laughed.

People in the comments were quick to offer their advice, with one writing: "Tesco jeans & River Island always work wonders for me!"
"I LOVE River Island jeans!" Sophie replied.
I'm on Mounjaro & having a kebab for dinner left me bedbound for 24 hours - but I'm trolled for not eating healthily
"Think I'm going to have a nosey on Vinted for some - thanks babe!"
"Next do lift & shape jeans," another said.

As a third recommended the "ASOS bum lift contour jeans".
"Have you tried Tesco ones? They're super comfy!" someone else wrote.
With Sophie responding: "Noooo I never go to the clothes section other than for the kids.
"Will have to have a nosey!"

What to do if you lose too much weight too quickly whilst on Mounjaro
IF you're losing too much weight too quickly while on Mounjaro, it's important to take action to avoid potential health risks like muscle loss, malnutrition, dehydration, and fatigue. Here's what you can do:
Evaluate Your Caloric Intake
Mounjaro reduces appetite, which can make it easy to eat too little. If you're losing weight too fast (more than two to three lbs per week after the initial adjustment period), try:
Tracking your food intake to ensure you're eating enough calories (apps like MyFitnessPal can help).
Increasing protein intake to preserve muscle mass (aim for 0.6–1g per pound of body weight).
Adding healthy fats and complex carbs (e.g., avocados, nuts, whole grains) for balanced energy.
Adjust Your Dosage (With Doctor's Approval)
If your weight loss is too rapid or causing side effects, your doctor may:
Pause dose increases or lower your dosage.
Adjust your treatment plan to stabilise your weight loss.
Strength Training & Exercise
To prevent muscle loss:
Incorporate resistance training at least two to three times per week.
Stay active with low-impact exercises like walking or yoga.
Hydrate & Manage Electrolytes
Drink enough water (Mounjaro can reduce thirst).
Electrolytes matter - Consider adding magnesium, sodium, and potassium if you feel weak or fatigued.
Monitor for Malnutrition & Deficiencies
Rapid weight loss can cause vitamin/mineral deficiencies (especially B12, iron, and electrolytes). If you experience:
Fatigue, hair loss, or dizziness, ask your doctor about supplements.
Consider Further Medical Guidance
If your weight loss is excessive or causing health concerns, speak with your healthcare provider.
They might adjust your dosage, diet, or exercise plan to help stabilise your weight loss.
While Sophie has done incredibly well on her Mounjaro journey to date, her weight loss hasn't come without criticism.
And
Others have accused her of "taking the easy way" of losing weight, while some say she'll "put it all back on".
"Don't lose anymore, you'll look ill!" is another one she's heard.

But Sophie hit back as she revealed the benefits she's found of losing weight, including the fact she's sleeping better, has more energy and has a "healthier relationship with food".

She's also four dress sizes down, mentally happier, able to run around after the kids and no longer binge eating.
And one of the most important benefits - she's "finally happy looking in the mirror".

Cork primary school pupils learning how to cook through new Tesco programme
More than 80 Scoil Barra Naofa Monkstown pupils are currently taking part in the free six-week Stronger Starts Cooks programme. The course, launched by Tesco Ireland, will be delivered to over 3,000 children, mostly fifth calss students, across 42 primary schools in Ireland. Among the highlights of the programme is a visit to a local Tesco store, where students will get to explore the journey of food from farm to shelf, take part in a budgeting challenge and enjoy food sampling sessions. Munster Rugby legend and proud Cork man Donncha O'Callaghan is an ambassador of the programme. Mr O'Callaghan said giving children the tools to make healthy choices is what he 'loves most' about the programme. 'As a dad, I know how important it is to give kids the tools they need to make healthy choices, and that starts with understanding food,' he said. 'What I love most about the Stronger Starts Cooks programme is that it's not just teaching kids how to cook, it's sparking their curiosity about what they eat, where it comes from, and how to make smart decisions in the kitchen and beyond. 'It's real-life learning that sets them up for the future, and I'm proud to be involved.' Stronger Starts Cooks builds on the success of the Stronger Starts Food programme, launched in 2021, which provides free weekly packs of fruit and vegetables to children in DEIS schools. Research commissioned by Tesco Ireland, which surveyed 1,016 parents nationwide, found that 92pc of parents support additional food education in the school curriculum and 44pc of parents feel their children could cook a basic meal from scratch. The research found that almost 80pc of parents believe children lack sufficient knowledge about nutrition, with 54pc saying their own children don't know enough. Only 51pc of parents talk to their children about healthy eating only occasionally or not at all, according to the research.

Tesco scheme teaching Wicklow students how to cook and eat more healthily
The programme is expected to be delivered to almost 3,000 primary school pupils across 42 primary schools this year, giving them hands-on experience with food and nutrition. St. Brigid's National Catholic School in Greystones is currently taking part in the 'Stronger Starts Cooks' programme, which will see 54 pupils involved. Pupils from St. John's SNS are also involved and enjoyed a recent cookery session with chef Bernard Grandjean. Delivered mainly to 5th class pupils, with flexibility for 4th and 6th, the six-week experience includes a hands-on cooking workshop and lessons in food science, food safety and healthy eating. Among the highlights is a visit to a local Tesco store, where students explore the journey of food from farm to shelf, take part in a budgeting challenge, enjoy food sampling sessions, and getting to see behind the scenes of a busy shop environment. Tesco Ireland commissioned a recent survey of parents, which found that 93pc of Leinster-based parents would welcome more food education in the primary school curriculum to give children a stronger start in life. While parents are confident in their own skills, almost one in three (30pc) of Leinster parents say they're confident their children would know how to cook a basic meal from scratch. Just under half (41pc) of parents based in Leinster report that they speak to their children occasionally, or not at all, about healthy eating.
