Love Is Blind star Chelsea Blackwell spoke exclusively to E! News about her recent 30-pound weight loss and addressed the misconception people may have about her use of an injectable medication.
Chelsea Blackwell is sticking with her new routine.
The Love Is Blind alum recently shared that she used a GLP-1 injectable weight loss medication to help shed 30 pounds—but if you thought she was done there, think again.
“It works for some people and [sometimes] it doesn't, so it really was a 50/50 chance of me seeing the results I wanted to,” Chelsea, 32, told E! News in an exclusive interview. “I tried it, and I've been on it since December or the end of November, and I’m not going to stop. Because I feel the best I've ever felt.”
Indeed, the reality star—who says she’s lost an additional 10 pounds since her initial reveal—is reaping the benefits of her new lifestyle, which also includes working with a nutrition coach.
“I sleep better, my skin's better, I have more energy,” she continued. “Everything in general is just so much better in my life.”
Chelsea—who is dating Tim Teeter after her engagement to Jimmy Presnell ended—also cleared up another misconception: that she’s at all fazed by the backlash to her use of a weight loss drug.
Instagram“It is so interesting coming online about it,” she observed, “because people are pissed. People are so mad—and I knew they would be. If you like the color pink, or if you say that the sky is blue, someone's gonna come out with an opinion.”
Fortunately, Chelsea has received loads of support as well, fueling her desire to continue sharing her health journey online.
“I had so many women reach out and say, ‘Me too. This is what worked for me. Maybe you could try this,’” she explained. “And then same with me, I told them, ‘OK, well, I tried this.’ So, it was just really cool to connect with other women and have that same relatable energy. It was just really awesome.”
