Mob Wives star Renee Graziano hit a milestone in her weight-loss journey, sharing that she’s lost more than 50 lbs. with a popular GLP-1 injectable.
“OH BABY 😍 IM DOWN 52lbs,” Graziano, 57, wrote on Instagram May 5 on a side-by-side photo that compared an older red carpet photo of her with a recent shot in slinky black dress. The reality star has been candid in posting updates, explaining, “I love sharing my weight-loss journey with y’all because truthfully, I’ve been so hard on myself behind the scenes.”
As she explained, “I’ve battled self-criticism in the past! Ripped myself down to the ground!! I truly was so sick and tired of my life and my inability to lose weight so I thought I’d eat until I felt better THAT NEVER HAPPENED, I felt like I was constantly falling short—of how I “should” look, feel, and keep up with what society tells us is acceptable,” Graziano said.
“That’s why, when I see photos that show the real, visible change, My clear eyes and genuine smile I have to share. I want everyone to know if I can do it you can do it! it’s all possible!!”
She said that she started taking Mounjaro shots weekly for the first five months of her journey. It’s an FDA-approved prescription GLP-1 medication for people with type 2 diabetes. It’s a brand name for tirzepatide — also marketed under the name Zepbound, for weight loss — which reduces appetite and improves how the body breaks down sugar and fat.
She’s been candid about her health in the past, talking openly about her struggles with addiction and the time she overdosed on fentanyl-laced drugs. She referenced her past in her post, writing, “always remember if [you’re] like me your recovery must come first!!”
Now sober, Graziano offered to share the supplements that she takes, inviting followers to DM her. Graziano shared that along “weekly chats with my therapist and doing all the work behind my insecurity, I haven’t felt the need for a plastic surgery short cut, Although I do believe whatever makes you happy and doesn’t jeopardize your life do it!” She did, however, say she has done “a little Botox and a touch of lip filler.”

“The substantial amount of weight that I have lost really has made me feel and look younger than I have in a long time,” she wrote. “My mind is clear and My body has transformed, and more importantly, so has my confidence.”
She encouraged her followers who may be struggling to stay the course, writing, “Whatever goal you’re working toward, know this: you can do it. Be patient. Be kind to yourself. And don’t give up.”
