Bonnie Chapman revealed the secret behind her 60-pound weight loss.
The 25-year-old daughter of the Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman got candid about shedding weight with the help of Tirezepatide, an injectable medication, during an interview with E! News published Sunday.
“I’ve been trying to lose weight since I was probably 18 years old,” she said. “And it was just very frustrating to constantly be trying, constantly be putting in the work.”

8 Bonnie explained that she’s been on different diets, including the Mediterranean and Paleo, but nothing has worked for her.
“I needed something that would show me results,” she added, sharing she was first prescribed Ozempic but it made her nauseous.
The former TV personality reflected on starting Tirezepatide last December, saying she lost 10 pounds within two weeks.
“At first, I didn’t really notice the changes,” Bonnie said. “I’m stepping on a scale and I’m seeing the numbers go down, but I’m looking at myself and I’m like, ‘Where do I see it?’

8 “And then I would be told, like, ‘You used to have a little bit more of something at the top of your stomach, and it’s flattened out.’”
The Hawaii native reflected on going from 196 pounds to her goal weight of 130 pounds, saying, “I’m not going to lie, I cried a couple times because I was like, wow, this is what I wanted my entire life.”
Bonnie said the weight-loss drug has helped curb her appetite and allowed her to build better eating habits.
“Once I started to see that I was getting full a lot less quickly, I was able to actually eat half a portion of my meal,” she said. “Even if I go a week or two without taking it, I’m able to eat less portions.”

8 The social media influencer — who is now 126 pounds — said she tries to limit eating sushi and sweets to only a few times a month to avoid gaining weight.
She also learned how to control her emotional eating habits after her mom, Beth Chapman, passed away from throat cancer in 2019 and her Virginia rental property burned down in April 2023.
Now, Bonnie enjoys homemade kale chips as a snack and usually gets full with a handful or two.
“The last time I really felt good was when I was probably in high school,” she said. “And I was like, if I can get to this weight, then I’ll be happy. And I was ecstatic when I reached that goal. I just felt like I was finally me again.”
