Kendra Wilkinson is going back on her original thoughts on GLP-1 and aging gracefully.

She’s announced her decision to start taking GLP-1 medication for weight loss to fit better into her jeans, joining a broader movement of taking the drug.

Trying GLP-1s Again

Kendra Wilkinson shared with Us Weekly her decision to get back into GLP-1s again.

“There’s nothing worse than being in a gym every single day, working out and not seeing any progress. I hit 40. I’m happy. I’m at peace, but I noticed that my jeans are a little tighter lately, so I don’t want to go out and shop anymore.”

She added, “Mama is on a budget, so I have to fit back in my jeans… So I’ll start my journey next week.”

However, she isn’t looking to drop a lot of weight and have a huge transformation.

“I just want to be balanced out. I don’t really want to be skinny, but I just want to be balanced and fit in my jeans again. Look, I’m a little bit overweight at the moment, so I’m gonna start taking my weight loss shots. I’m starting that journey next week. But other than that, just get out and play. You know, it’s beautiful out in life.”

Her First Attempt

Nearly a year prior, Kendra Wilkinson tried to use the weight loss medication for the first time. Though it did not go as planned.

She shared on her Instagram Stories in April, “I started the weight loss shots. Only did one. Nevermind. Throwing away!!”

Her main reason to abandon the weight loss shots was the potential side effects.

She added in another post, “I’m actually ok with a little weight gain. Happier in life nowadays. Heard too many horror stories around me.”

Speaking Out About Aging

While she may be changing her mind about taking weight loss medication, Kendra Wilkinson has never shied away from comments made about her body, including criticism on social media.

She posted on Instagram Stories in January 2025, writing, “Yes, I’ve gained weight. Yes, I’m aging. Yes, I’m not that girl I was before (Playboy girl). For once in a long time I feel good and mentally healthy. Kids are my everything. Feeling pretty balanced. Working out and cooking a lot more. Golf, work. No housekeeper or nanny.”

She added, “Please know that I’m happy, healthy and at peace in life finally. Leave me alone and respect that I’m where I actually want to be finally all together.”

GLP-1 Popularity

The use of GLP-1s has blown up in popularity around the world, including many celebrities like Chelsea Handler, Serena Williams, Rebel Wilson, Andy Cohen, and Oprah Winfrey.

The View cohosts even discussed using the drug on one of their shows, with Joy Behar stating, “We all did it,” and Savannah Chrisley adding, “GLP-1s are cool.”

However, not all the reactions are good, with Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia criticizing their use on a TikTok video, stating people “who do not need Ozempic” are using it. She added, “You’re gonna die. You’re all gonna die.”
