Lizzo Shares She’s Met Her Weight Loss Goal Amid Transformation Journey
Lizzo's body transformation journey has been going good as hell.
The 36-year-old shared that she reached a key milestone on her road to wellness, four months after she first debuted a slimmer figure.
"I did it. Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal," Lizzo wrote on her Instagram Jan. 25, alongside a mirror selfie. "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!"
In her post, the "Good as Hell" singer did not state her weight, past or present, but did note that she had lost 16 percent of her body fat.
"I am actually on an intentional weight loss journey right now," she added on TikTok. "Even at the end of my weight loss journey, I'm not going to be considered thin by any means. I will still be considered morbidly obese on the BMI and little bros on the internet are still going to call me 'big backed.' But I will be happy."
Lizzo continued, "Let this be a reminder that you can do anything—anything you set your mind to. Now, I guess it's time to set new goals."

Lizzo had first shared her body transformation journey when she debuted a slimmer figure in September on social media. She has offered tidbits about how she achieved her goals, while seemingly denying one particular rumor.
"When you finally get ozempic allegations," she wrote on Instagram, days after debuting her new look, "after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit."
The Grammy winner, who has also shifted away from her previous vegan diet amid her journey, later poked fun at the weight loss drug use speculation by spoofed her own South Park parody this past Halloween. She dressed up as a package of the fictional weight loss drug Lizzo, which was referenced on the series' special The End of Obesity.
"It’s that time of year where I feed y’all so ridiculously," she wrote on Instagram at the time, "and you’re so very welcome baby."
Lizzo captioned another post, "LizzOzempic dump."

Looking Good as Hell No Matter What

As she captioned the clip, "Fine both ways."

She’s Her Own Inspiration
The singer has been documenting her weight loss journey on TikTok with videos of her workouts, including one that explained how she pushes through workouts.
"I was doing Stairmaster today, and I was doing a higher level than normal," the sweat-drenched star explained, noting that in order to avoid quitting early, she dropped down to a lower speed. "Sometimes when you want to give up, it's really just because you've been pushing yourself too hard. Don't give up, just take it easier on yourself."

Nobody’s Perfect
"I overate yesterday, and I'm feeling really bad about it," she shared while detailing the ups and downs of her journey. "I'm trying to remind myself that my body needs that nourishment and if my body deserves comfort then my brain deserves comfort too."

Clapping Back at Haters
And no, despite what critics think, she isn't using Ozempic, the Type 1 Diabetes medication also used for weight loss.
"Y'all are making such a commotion for a b--ch that's still obese," she said. "Y'all are breaking your backs making blog posts about a b--ch that's still 200 pounds. Where is this kerfuffle coming from? Why are people so shocked? Do I really look that dramatically different or have you just not been paying attention?"
"If you have been keeping up, you've seen that I've been putting this work in, honey, every single day," she continued. "And not just work on my physical body, but you've been seeing the work I've been doing on my spiritual, my mental and emotional."

That Power Looks So Good on Her
The Grammy winner stepped out for lunch at Nobu wearing a sheer black and white dress by Jean Paul Gaultier with a black bodysuit under. She topped the look with a leather trenchcoat draped on her shoulders, large silver hoop earrings and black sunglasses.

Learning How to Love Me
Admittedly, she has her ups and downs when it comes to her body.
"I'm not going to lie and say I love my body every day," she told The New York Times in April 2024. "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."

Taking a Step Back
Her fitness journey comes after she announced in August 2024 that she was taking "a gap year & protecting my peace."
After all, in 2023, she faced a lawsuit from several of her former backup dancers who accused her of creating a "hostile, abusive work environment" and weight-shaming them. She ultimately denied the accusations.
"With passion comes hard work and high standards," she wrote on Instagram. "Sometimes I have to make hard decisions but it's never my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable or like they aren't valued as an important part of the team."
"I know what it feels like to be body shamed on a daily basis, she continued, "and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight."
