Serena Williams is championing GLP-1 drugs for weight loss after having trouble shedding pounds following the birth of her two children.

The tennis legend is a paid spokesperson for Ro , which makes a version of the drugs.

On Ro’s website she says she lost 31 pounds in eight months.

“I literally tried everything. Running, walking, biking, stairclimber, you name it, I did it,” Williams said on on Thursday.

“Even now trying to play a professional sport, it was something that I feel like even I felt like, ‘OK, I don’t want to do this because it is a shortcut or it is like a quick way out.’

“But it actually isn’t and there’s something that I feel personally that my body was missing in particular after having two kids, I wasn’t able to be at a weight that was healthy for me.”
