Jon Gosselin admits to using Ozempic to lose over 30lbs in two months and now feels 'amazing': 'Why didn't I do this sooner?'
Jon Gosselin admitted he used Ozempic to lose about 32 pounds in two months.
The Jon & Kate Plus 8 star, 47, revealed he started taking semaglutide, the generic form of Ozempic, in February and was celebrating his results.
He said he feels 'amazing' and only wished he started 'sooner' during an interview with Page Six at the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center West Hollywood grand opening on Thursday night.
'You know what's annoying? The regret of not starting it 10 years ago,' admitted the reality TV personality — who previously said he put on 35 pounds after quitting his job as an IT tech to pursue his dream of becoming a DJ.
'I feel amazing! Like, why didn't I do this sooner? Maybe it wasn't the right time,' he said, referring to his 2009 divorce from ex-wife Kate Gosselin as well as their contentious custody battle and child support disputes.

'A lot of things were going on emotionally and I went to court a lot, which was super expensive,' he recalled.
'It just wasn't a good time in my life,' he added. 'But now I finally have time to focus on myself.'
Besides slimming down, he added that the diabetes drug also helped him cut down on alcohol.
'It's really nice because it helped me stop drinking and it helped me get my appetite under control with less eating. I was able to really refocus my diet that way,' he explained.
'I just focused on consuming what I need to consume in a healthy manner.'
He added that he has been doing body contouring and fat-melting treatments to tone up his figure, but he is not interested in going under the knife.
'When it comes to actual surgery like liposuction, I'm like, "Hell no." I would never do anything that's invasive to my body that I don't need,' he said before adding that he would rather exercise.
'If I have to run or do the elliptical or the Peloton or any of that, that's on me. But I would never have voluntary surgery because I was lazy. That's how I see it.'

He added that he just needs to build healthier habits as Ozempic has been helping him do.
'I'm not super overweight. I just told myself, "Dude, you've got to stop eating fries. You've just got to stop eating drive-thru food."'
Previously, he revealed he gained about 35 pounds due to his career change and his loving relationship with his girlfriend Stephanie Lebo.
'I just got complacent with my health,' he told Entertainment Tonight while opening up about his diet and sleep schedule at the time.
He shared that as a DJ, he works late night hours — from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. — about four to five nights a week.
As a result, he would often get late-night snacks and meals from gas stations.
He added that his girlfriend contributed to his weight gain.
'I'm in a comfortable relationship,' he said. 'I love my girlfriend, Stephanie. We just eat whatever we want, do whatever.'
