Inquiring minds want to know! Since so many of her followers wanted to know what she's doing to see such a big change this soon into her journey, she shared what's been working for her in multiple videos on TikTok.

She continued her video by saying she stopped drinking anything but water with some exceptions. "Now, I have had champagne once night that was a toast and some wine one night," she said. "So it's hasn't been 100 percent but I really stopped drinking like five or six diet Cokes a day. All I drink is water now, and I'm not eating sugar as much as I can."

One follower took to the comments to explain her issue, saying, "I'm so addicted to diet coke," to which O'Donnell responded, "yes its tough." Another follower wrote, "You look great Rosie, it’s all about moderation & moving more????." Many others added their experiences with Ozempic and Mounjaro. "Way to go Rosie! I take Mounjaro and am down 44 lbs since September 5," one person said. "I did ozempic for a month and it did amazing. But insurance won’t cover it so can’t afford out of pocket. But it did work," another added.
