The singer opened up about reaching her weight loss goal and offered an inspiring message to fans.
“Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to,” she shared.
Whether she’s sharing body-positive affirmations or reminding us that weight fluctuation is normal, we can always count on Lizzo to keep things real when it comes to health and body image. On Jan. 25 the “Good as Hell” singer revealed that she’s reached her weight loss goal. In a candid Instagram mirror selfie, the singer shared that she has reached her “weight release goal” after over two years of lifestyle changes.
“I did it. Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal,” Lizzo captioned the photo. “I haven’t seen this number since 2014!”
She also included an inspiring message for her followers: “Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!”
In the two-photo post, Lizzo wears a workout set with an imposed screengrab from a weight loss app on top of the picture. In the second slide, a tile reveals that since Jan. 16 2023, Lizzo lowered her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5% and lost 16% body fat (Note: BMI has been a controversial measurement for years. In fact, Prevention no longer uses BMI as an indicator of health.)
Fans and followers flocked to the comments section to congratulate the star and celebrate alongside her. “Beautiful as always! I’m so glad you’re feeling accomplished!! You inspire me!💕💕,” one fan wrote. “Queen!! Absolutely slaying at ANY shape and size🔥🔥🔥,” another chimed in. “Great job! It’s not an easy journey. You are definitely an inspiration as I work on my own goals,” another added.
Lizzo has long been open about her weight loss journey and self-image, posting progress photos, workout videos, and even responding to Ozempic allegations. The singer also recently opened up about weight loss and body neutrality, explaining how body positivity has “moved away from the antiquated mainstream conception,” and instead “evolved into body neutrality,” when speaking with The New York Times.
“I’m not going to lie and say I love my body every day,” she continued. “The bottom line is, the way you feel about your body changes every single day. There are some days I adore my body, and others when I don’t feel completely positive.”
In regards to weight loss, Lizzo told the New York Times that she has been changing the way she eats and prioritizing exercise. “I’m taking the time every day to put some love into my body,” she said. “There is never a day when I regret taking a walk or doing some Pilates.”
That said, she didn’t see changes overnight. “I’ve been methodical, losing weight very slowly,” she added.
