Lizzo reveals she's hit her 'weight release' goal
Lizzo just shared a big update with fans: She’s hit her target weight.
'I did it,' she wrote in the caption of two January 26 selfies posted on Instagram. 'Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. I haven’t seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!'
The first shot shows Lizzo in a mirror selfie, while the second zooms in on her midsection with her weight loss stats included. According to the screenshots, Lizzo lost 10.5 points in her BMI and 16% of her body fat.
The 36-year-old has been 'methodical, losing weight very slowly,' she told the New York Times in March 2024. Here’s what else Lizzo has shared during her weight-loss journey.
She celebrates the big milestones
In late January 2025, Lizzo revealed that she had hit her weight loss goal, which she referred to as her "weight release goal."
'I haven’t seen this number since 2014!' she wrote in the caption. 'Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to.'
She's all about positive affirmations
In early January, Lizzo shared a video of herself in a bikini doing what appears to be a lymphatic drainage massage. 'I’m proud of the ways you’re deciding to show up for yourself,' she wrote in the caption. 'I’m proud of the boundaries you’ve set. Amazing things will happen to you today. 💕Now say that 3 times out loud💕.'
Lizzo works out regularly
As part of her weight loss journey, Lizzo's been focusing on exercise that makes her happy, she told the New York Times in 2024. In September, she shared video on Instagram of herself crushing a gym workout that included medicine ball squats, battle ropes, burpees, and more. 'IM NOT SKINNY IM FHICK😤,' she wrote in the caption.
She mixes strength training and calorie counting
In September, Lizzo hilariously celebrated on Instagram allegations that she used Ozempic. But she also revealed that she had been doing weight training and eating in a calorie deficit to lose weight.
Lizzo also gave up veganism after a trip to Japan. 'When I got to Japan, I was in awe at how clean and delicious their food was. I indulged in fresh sushi and fluffy egg,' she said in October TikTok. 'And I was amazed at how good my body felt the next day.'
She focuses on mental health, too
In August, Lizzo shared a serene video on Instagram of herself standing in the rain while wearing a bathing suit. 'I’m taking a gap year & protecting my peace🙏🏾,' she wrote in the caption.
She's honest when things don't go according to plan
In September, Lizzo shared with fans on TikTok that she had a day that didn't live up to the new standards she'd set for herself. 'I overate yesterday and I'm feeling really bad about it,' she wrote. 'I'm trying to remind myself that my body needed that nourishment.'
Lizzo added that she was trying to be kind to herself. 'If my body deserves comfort, then my brain deserves comfort, too, she said.
Lizzo is known for her positive relationship with her body, whether persuing weight loss or not.
She maintained her confidence
Since living in the public eye, Lizzo has been all about self-love. And in November, she stressed on Instagram that she's still the same person. 'S/O to everyone that just found out im lowkey cool as hell 😅,' she wrote in the caption of a selfie. 'Welcome to the club 🫶🏾💕.'
She encourages self-love
A month after allegations surfaced that Lizzo was taking weight-loss medication Ozempic, Lizzo hilariously channeled them into a Halloween costume.
In an Instagram photo, Lizzo can be seen dressed up like a carton of Ozempic, alongside the words, 'Need self love? Try Lizzo! Lose guilt. Gain confidence.' Under 'side effects,' it read, 'a smile on your face and a pep in your step.' Lizzo wrote in the caption, 'Ok Halloween… you can start now 😜.'
She's looking out for herself first.
Lizzo rang in 2025 with a fiery bikini picture. '2025 is the year of keeping the vibration on a higher frequency than what the world tries to lower it to,' she wrote in her Instagram caption. 'Don’t subscribe to the bullsh*t just to make others feel comfortable 🤭 live truthfully and don’t hold back— it’s your world!'
