Peppermint said she initially tried to lose weight through diet and exercise” but she didn’t have any success over the years. Now, after dropping 100 lbs., she said she’s no longer pre-diabetic.

“I was really worried that my life was going to change irreversibly once I crossed that threshold,” she said. “I was hovering around that threshold for so long, and I’m happy that I’m not now.”

Peppermint boasted that she’s had to update her wardrobe because her “clothes are fitting differently” after the weight-loss injections.

However, despite the physical transformation, she said not much has changed.

“I feel like the same person,” she said, noting that she simply feels younger. “I feel like I can walk up the steps a little easier and not be like, ‘Oh, my knee!'”
