GLP-1 Treatment for Life-Transforming Journey; Mumbai Woman Sheds 22 Kgs

Mumbai: Mukta Dhond, a 49-year-old television producer, has undergone a remarkable transformation, shedding 22 kgs in her battle against obesity. Dhond, who was pre-diabetic, credits her weight loss journey to GLP-1 treatment with Ozempic, which she started in March 2025.

Dhond’s wake-up call came during a Scotland vacation with her toddler son in 2024, where she struggled to keep up with his energetic pace. “He would run up the hills and I would be far behind. I realised it was time to change things,” she recalls.

From weighing 117 kg, Dhond is now at 95 kg and experiencing a newfound sense of liberation. “It’s a game-changer,” she says, describing her transformation as a “reinvention”. Dhond, a single mother, has also adopted a new monthly ritual – getting her wardrobe altered to fit her changing size.

Dhond’s journey highlights the challenges of obesity and the impact of effective treatments. Her story serves as inspiration for those struggling with weight issues.
