Lizzo Proudly Flaunts Recent Weight Loss in Sultry Photos, Sparking Heated Debate

Lizzo recently had a major reason to celebrate, achieving her weight loss goals and proudly sharing that she reached a number on the scale she hadn't seen "since 2014!" Known for her unwavering commitment to body positivity regardless of size, Lizzo’s announcement struck a chord with fans on Instagram. While many applauded her for embracing a new health journey, others couldn’t help but raise a few questions.

Lizzo doesn’t refer to her journey as “weight loss”; instead, she’s coined the term “weight release.” This concept is gaining traction and emphasizes a more holistic approach to health and wellness rather than focusing solely on becoming thinner.

36-year-old Lizzo shared an inspiring post on Instagram, captioned “I did it.” The Truth Hurts singer revealed, “Today, when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. I haven’t seen this number since 2014!” She continued with an empowering message: “Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!”

Lizzo included two photos in the post, one of which showed her in a burgundy two-piece workout set, flaunting her toned arms and midriff. She also shared detailed progress statistics, revealing she had lowered her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5 and reduced her body fat by 16% since beginning her journey in January 2023.

Fans praised Lizzo's gradual transformation, with one writing, “Congratulations Lizzo! I’m so proud of you! You have just inspired so many, including ME!” Another follower added, “This is so cool! I’ve lost 30 pounds so far and this is just the motivation I need to stick with it.”

Not everyone was supportive, as critics voiced their opinions on her transformation. One user questioned her shift in approach, writing, “I thought you 'loved' your body at any weight. Nope, never beLIEved you.” Another, seemingly a former fan, expressed disappointment, saying, “It's really sad to see someone who helped me so much with my body image throughout my ed recovery now just be another influencer of diet culture. This is where I hop off the bandwagon tho sis, take care.”

In November 2024, Lizzo sparked widespread buzz with photos showcasing her stunning transformation. The singer shared images of herself in a chic off-the-shoulder white dress, captioning the post, "Last night I wore milkmaid braids."

Fans marveled at Lizzo's stunning look, but critics once again voiced their disapproval of her slimmer figure. One person commented, "She looks good, but I don't know, it's not giving this was nature's way." Another echoed similar sentiments, saying, "Girl, I thought you were all about being comfortable in your skin!? You were the last REAL celebrity who didn’t get all scary over the haters. I’m so disappointed. I liked you better curvy and natural."

Meanwhile, Amy Schumer shared that internet trolls played an unexpected role in helping her discover she had Cushing’s syndrome.
