But this isn't the first time Amanda has opened up about her weight loss journey. Last month, she took to social media to reveal that she was "going on Ozempic" and would be sharing updates with her fans along the way. And boy, did she mean it! With a goal of losing around 40 pounds, Amanda is determined to get down to an incredible 130 pounds.

Amanda's Weight Loss Journey: A Rollercoaster Ride

This isn't the first time Amanda has spoken candidly about her weight loss struggles. Last year, she revealed that she had gained over 20 pounds due to depression. But after finding solace in exercise and healthy eating, Amanda shed six pounds and was feeling like a brand new person.

Bynes kept it casual wearing a white hoodie that was zipped up at the front as well as a pair of gray shorts

And now, with Ozempic on board, it looks like Amanda is more determined than ever to reach her weight loss goals. In an Instagram post, she wrote, "I'm going on Ozempic. So excited. I'm 173 now so I hope to get down to like 130, which would be awesome so I look better in paparazzi pictures."

Amanda's Past: A Journey of Self-Discovery

But Amanda's weight loss journey isn't the only thing that's gotten attention lately. In an emotional Instagram post, she revealed her struggles with depression and addiction, admitting to using Adderall to help with losing weight.

"I definitely abused Adderall," she admitted. "And they were talking about how women were taking it to stay thin. I was like, 'Well, I have to get my hands on that.'"

Amanda's past is filled with ups and downs, including multiple arrests for reckless driving, drug possession, and DUI. She was even hospitalized for an involuntary psychiatric hold and placed under a nine-year conservatorship.

A New Chapter: OnlyFans and More!

"I'm doing onlyfans to chat with my fans through dm's," she wrote. "I won't be posting any sleazy content. Excited to join."

And in case you're wondering how much it'll cost to access Amanda's exclusive content, it's a whopping $50 per month! Worth it for the juicy gossip and behind-the-scenes peeks into her life?
