Kelly Clarkson Weight Loss: Weight Loss Drugs, 60-Lb Weight Loss The co-hosts of the ABC talk show "The View" have defended Kelly Clarkson, the winner of American Idol Season 1, after she received backlash for telling Whoopi Goldberg on her show that she is taking a weight loss drug. Clarkson, who previously claimed she was losing weight by walking, said that people are taking the shot because they need it. She continued that walking has helped her lose weight and that people are now kicking her behind because she said it out loud. Sara Haines, 46, said she has no shade for Clarkson but thinks celebrities need to be open about whether or not they are taking prescription medication to lose weight. Jay Behar, 81, declared that diets do not work and that nobody wants to be fat except a sumo wrestler. Alyssa Farah Griffin, 34, admitted that she could relate to Clarkson because she gained weight her first season on "The View," which was hard for the Republican commentator. Sunny Hostin, 55, was also pro-Clarkson when she joined in on the conversation. She said that after 50 it is really difficult to lose weight and that if people are doing this to make themselves feel better, then they should be all for it. Behar agreed that "personal health choices you make for yourself" should not be subject to discussion. Goldberg wrapped up the segment by pleading with viewers to not judge other people's actions when it comes to their weight. She said that "we need to let people do what they need to do to get where they need to get to, and stop being mad that they're not doing it your way." If you're doing something that's good for you and keeping you healthy, nobody's mad at you." Clarkson also revealed that the heaviest she weighed was 203 pounds. She was accused of using Ozempic to achieve her slimmed-down look last year, but she claimed in January that she lost all the weight thanks to diet and exercise. She ate a healthy mix and dropped weight because she've been listening to her doctor.
