A MUM says she “struggles to look at herself naked”; after she was left with “saggy skin”; when she lost 11st after using Mounjaro jabs.
Jade Stalker, 36, weighed 22st 8lbs at her heaviest, after decades of scoffing crisps, Chinese takeaways and piled-high plates of .
Just before her daughter, now five, started in May 2023, Jade was concerned she’d be seen as one of the “fat mums”; at the school gates – and made a bid to lose 10st.
After splashing out £3,500 on flights to Turkey and surgery, and starting , Jade dropped nearly 30in from her waist and feels “fantastic.”;
Now 11st 8lbs, she says she’s been left with and due to excess skin, and added: “The loose skin which makes me depressed and I struggle to look at myself sometimes”;.
She has launched on online funding page seeking to raise £6,000 for surgery to remove excess asking from her stomach, breasts and inner thighs.
Jade, a telecommunications engineer from Sauchie, , said: “My skin now is so loose, when I get in the bath, it ripples.
“I have quite a large overhang on my stomach – and my boobs are saggy, despite my telling me they’d get smaller after losing all the weight.
“My partner loves me the way I am – she doesn’t care about all that – but I think when you’re in a , you do want to look good for your partner.”;
Jade, who wears men’s clothes and started at a 58in waist, says she’s never been bothered about her size.
She’d have four for breakfast, two bags of crisps as a snack, a Tesco meal deal for lunch and a “man-size”; plate of spaghetti Bolognese with for dinner.
But becoming a mum changed her view.
Wanting to teach her daughter “”; she booked flights and a gastric sleeve operation in , in May 2023.
She could barely eat three-quarters of a burger, after the surgery and lost 5st 8lb in a year.

“The only thing that made me less mentally hungry was ,”; she said.
“Being on it is like walking through when you’ve just had a huge meal.”;
She lost a further 5st 2lb.
She noticed “saggy skin”; early into her but initially thought it was “fat”; she “still had to lose”;.
She added: “I’d say my most conscious areas are my stomach, my boobs and my inner thighs – although I’m quite a so I wear long trousers most of the time.
“I’ve held off from doing a GoFundMe, but it’s getting to the point where it’s bothering me so much – even if one or two people could donate, it would be a huge help.”;
