Lizzo
Lizzo has been open and candid about her weight-loss journey, sharing both the triumphs and challenges along the way.
On January 25, 2025, she celebrated a major milestone in an Instagram post: “I did it,” Lizzo said. “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!”
Later in the year, on December 4, she addressed the harsh reality of fat-shaming. Posting a photo of herself in a bright yellow bikini, she wrote: “Today I saw a fat joke about me— in 2025—and it was viral. It was a dumb joke and they were just laughing at me because I’m fat…. Let me be a reminder to everyone to NEVER let anyone shame you for what you choose to do with your body. Because when you’re big they talk sh*t, when you’re small they talk sh*t. Your body will never be good enough for them because it’s not FOR them. It’s for you.”
