The view is looking good for Whoopi Goldberg.
“The View” host — who has been using the type 2 diabetes medication Mounjaro to slim down — confessed that she’s lost the weight of “almost two people.”
The 68-year-old explained that’s her trick to looking so young, noting on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” May 13, “It’s all the weight I’ve lost.”
“I’m doing that wonderful shot that works for folks who need some help and it’s been really good for me,” she told host Kelly Clarkson, who likewise said an unnamed medication has helped with her own weight loss journey. “It’s great for people like us who have, you know, issues.”
And it’s certainly been an eye-opening experience for the “Sister Act” alum, who was previously 300 pounds. As she put it, she had never paid attention to her figure before embarking on her transformation journey in 2021.
“You’re living your life and you’re doing what you need to do — and that’s the last thing you’re thinking about because you’ve got other stuff on your mind,” she shared. “When you realize it, you go, ‘Well, damn.’ And everyone says, ‘Well, I thought you knew.'”

And considering Mounjaro helped her shed the pounds, she wants to remove the stigma surrounding such medications.
“The key is to stop judging everybody,” she said on “The View” in March. “You have to take responsibility for yourself and see what’s going on with your body.”
Whoopi Goldberg dishes on her new memoir “Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me.” She reflects on growing up in a musical household and shares how she used her ability to mimic other people to help her sing in “Sister Act.”
