Ex-Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson starts weight loss jab journey after slamming ‘aged poorly’ comments
Kendra Wilkinson says that she is on a mission to squeeze 'back into her jeans' - and she's using weight loss jabs to help her do so.
The former model, who previously posed for Playboy and was one of the many women Hugh Hefner had on his arm, has revealed she is about to start taking GLP-1 medication.
A host of stars have previously shared their experiences of using the drugs, which can help people shed the pounds.
These jabs help people feel fuller by mimicking a natural hormone released after eating, allowing people to lose weight and stifling the 'food noise' that usually rings in their heads.

Wilkinson, 40, revealed that despite her putting a ton of time in at the gym, she hasn't been seeing the results she wanted.
So, the reality TV star decided she might need a bit of a helping hand to help her reduce the current number she is seeing on the scales.
"There’s nothing worse than being in a gym every single day, working out and not seeing any progress," she told Fox News. "I’m happy. I’m at peace, but I noticed that my jeans are a little tighter lately.
"So I don’t want to go out and shop anymore...mama is on a budget, so I have to fit back in my jeans. So I actually signed up for a shot company that will be delivering my shot next week."
Wilkinson said she doesn't want to 'go all in' and completely change her body shape, so she intends to 'ease her way into it'.
Sharing her hopes for the results, The Girls Next Door alum added: "I just want to be balanced out. I don’t really want to be skinny, but I just want to be balanced and fit in my jeans again.
"I’m a little bit overweight at the moment, so I’m gonna start taking my weight loss shots."
The main thing for Wilkinson is that she loses weight in a healthy way, as she intends to keep it off on a long-term basis.
"Longevity is the biggest word I’ve been hearing a lot lately," she said. "I think a big part of longevity is to get out and play, have fun. Smile, be in the sun."
Although she's got a positive outlook on her impending GLP-1 journey, Wilkinson previously admitted that comments from critics claiming she had 'aged poorly' did get to her.
She first shot to fame after moving into the Playboy Mansion after appearing as a 'painted girl' at Hefner's 78th birthday party when she was just an 18-year-old at the time.
A fan-favourite on the show, Wilkinson is best remembered for her bubbly personality - which helped her land her own self-titled reality shows, Kendra and Kendra on Top.
And in a recent Instagram post shared on International Women's Day (8 March), she addressed people making critical comments on the difference in her appearance these days.
"I used to use a light filter on myself but now I’m just embracing myself as it is," she captioned the selfie she uploaded.
"I’ve seen many people comment saying I’ve aged 'poorly' and that is ok. I’m ok with aging 'poorly'.
"For some reason I’m happier than I’ve ever been lately even with a little weight gain and wrinkles and I’m not going to tie my happiness again into the negative energy.
"I am a balanced, single, positive, fun woman who loves life and I hope that I can manage this feeling forever now after working hard to get here to this place.
"I was very young when I started TV and lived a crazy chaotic 20 years of impressing others but now it’s about ME. Giving back to ME. Even with less money and way less fame."
