Lizzo Hits Major Weight Loss Goal, Loses 16 Percent of Her Body Fat
Lizzo is celebrating a major weight loss goal after she shared with fans that she’s officially lost 16 percent of her body fat.
“I did it. Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. I haven’t seen this number since 2014!” Lizzo, 36, wrote alongside a carousel of photos on Instagram that showed different stats from her weight loss journey. “Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!”
The images featured various “badges” she achieved, including a stat that stated she had reduced her BMI (body mass index) by 10.5 kg and another that said she had achieved her weight loss goal.
Several fans congratulated the “Truth Hurts” singer in the comments and some even offered up their own weight loss achievements.
“I’ve lost 175, and let me tell ya: you become a different human physically and mentally. I’m proud of you. Slay queen,” wrote one Instagram commenter.
Another added, “Proud of you Lizzo! Hope you’re proud of you too!”
In May 2023, Lizzo opened up about her journey to become healthier and pointed out that not everyone exercises to lose weight after stitching a TikTok video about the topic.
“Heavy on the not trying to escape fatness,” she said in her TikTok video. “I think a lot of people see a fat person that way and immediately just assume everything they’re doing is to be thin. I’m not trying to be thin. I don’t ever want to be thin.”
She continued, “Will my body fluctuate from this size? Will I get a little smaller depending on some of the choices I make or a little bigger, depending on some of the choices I make in my life. Yes, I’m used to fluctuating.”
Lizzo has posted videos of her workouts, what she eats and more as she documented her weight loss journey.
The “Good as Hell” artist revealed she was continuing to focus on her health in an interview with the New York Times almost a year later.
“I’ve been methodical, losing weight very slowly. I’m taking some time every day to put love into my body,” Lizzo told the publication in March 2024. “There’s never a day when I regret taking a walk or doing some Pilates.”
She also pointed out that it seemed like her fans noticed her weight loss more than she did.
“I don’t really see it because if anyone who’s on a natural weight-loss journey knows, losing weight is actually the slowest thing in the world and you don’t really notice it until you notice it,” Lizzo continued. “Also the scale’s not really moving. But anyway, that doesn’t matter. I’m super proud of my current lifestyle.”
Some people accused the Grammy winner of using Ozempic to achieve her slimmed down figure, but she clapped back at the skeptics and clarified that it was all thanks to “weight training and calorie deficit.”
In September 2024, a music industry source told Life and Style that Lizzo had dropped 60 pounds.
