A woman who shed six-and-a-half stone using Mounjaro got a permanent tattoo in honour of the weight loss jab - after it "saved" her life. "

Siân Robinson, 32, went under the needle to get the word 'GPL-1' - the medication used in the injection - tattooed on her right arm on July 22, 2025.

The self-confessed food addict said her weight had "spiralled" out of control in recent years. "

Takeaways were her "biggest weakness" and Siân said she would tuck into four large Domino's pizzas a week - consuming up to a whopping 6,000 calories a day instead of the recommended 2,000 for women. "

Despite trying up to five different diets a year, she continue gaining weight until she hit 28st 12.5lbs and a size 28 to 30.

Siân - who got engaged to her long-term partner, Matt, 31, a flower wholesaler, in August 2024 - feared she would be unable to walk down the aisle or "die" before the big day if she carried on with her poor eating habits. "

After exhausting everything else, Siân's friend, Lauren, 31, lash technician, recommended she try the weight loss Mounjaro. 

She order the medication to arrive in November 2024 - shortly after enjoying one last "blow out" on an all-inclusive Disney Cruise ."

Despite being apprehensive, Siân said the jab was "amazing" and has shed 6st 5lbs - and is now down to 22st 4.5lb and size 22. "

To celebrate her weight loss, Siân asked her tattoo artist Toni Warman - who goes by Tattoos by Toni - to design a piece showcase the medication that "saved" her - and spent two-and-a-half hours having a heart shape with 'GLP-1' permanently etched on her. "

Siân, a registered aesthetic nurse, from Worcester, West Midlands, said: "Mounjaro literally saved my life."

"It felt only right I honour IT. "

"I told my tattoo artist to find a way commemorate it. "

"As soon as she showed me the design, I fell in love."

"I wear it proudly."

"It's a permanent reminder of how much it turned my life around."

"If I kept going the way I was, I might not even be here."

Siân said her weight has always been "up and down"."

She went to her first slimming class aged 10 after a referral from the GP. 

Despite losing weight as a teen, she said that her eating habits became "out of control" over the last five years."

She believes her "comfort" eating got worse when she left her job in the NHS and experienced the "stress" of starting her own business. "

She said: "I had a full-blown food addiction."

"I thought it was normal to think about food all the time."

"My portion sizes used to be huge."

"Takeaways were a huge weakness - McDonald's or Dominos. "

"I was in the habit of getting straight on Just Eat or Deliveroo after arriving home from work."

At her biggest, Siân tipped the scales at 28st 12.5lbs and wore a size 28 to 30.

Every year - around her birthday in March - Siân and her mum, Maria Robinson, 58, a laser and skin therapist, would go to Disneyland Orlando, USA.

Her mum also had battled with her weight and lost 16st after undergoing a gastric sleeve operation.

Siân said: "Going to Disneyland was our happy place."

"But I saw pictures of myself getting bigger over the years with each trip. "

"When I was 31 I had to rent a mobility scooter to get around the theme park. "

"It was too hard to walk - that was a real turning point for me."

After Matt proposed in August 2024 while on a cruise in America, Siân feared she would "die" before the wedding if she carried on the way she was. "

Siân said: "I became a recluse and stopped looking after myself."

"I could barely walk and I was desperate - eating myself into an early grave."

"I tried Ozempic before, but it made me really sick, so I was apprehensive. "

"Mounjaro is a different type of medication, so I hoped it would suit me better."

"It last chance saloon." "

In November 2024, while on Disney Cruise with family, Siân ordered the GPL-1 medication to take to try and slim down.

Arriving home, she began taking the weekly jabs within six month had dropped 6st 5lbs.

She is now 21st 7.5lbs and wearing 22.

Siân recently found a wedding dress and is planning to tie the knot with Matt in August 2027.

Siân said: "I still have a way to go - but I'm so pleased with the results so far."

"I was very nervous, but I've had very little side affects. "

"My biggest advice is to order from a reputable pharmacy - who can help and advice while taking it."

"This time last year, I never thought I would be where I am today."

"Matt has been my biggest support and with me throughout."

"I even found the perfect dress for the big day, and I have confidence showing off my tattoos again."
