Lizzo, known for her strong stance on body positivity, is making headlines for a dramatic transformation.
The singer, who has long championed self-love and body acceptance, has reportedly lost more than 60 pounds, shedding weight from her 5-foot-10 frame.
Lizzo has always been open about her plus-sized figure, once weighing 308 pounds. However, sources now say she has slimmed down to around 240 pounds, marking a significant change in her physical appearance.
This transformation became widely noticed when she recently showcased her slimmer figure during a trip to Bali, posting photos in a one-piece swimsuit that sent fans buzzing.
Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, has been candid about the challenges she has faced due to her weight.
In March 2024, the People's Choice Award winner admitted to the New York Times that she was "tired of being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look."
This marks a shift from the confidence she previously displayed about her size, even celebrating weight gain in early 2022.
While the singer has been an outspoken advocate for body positivity, especially for women with larger frames, Lizzo has now begun embracing what she refers to as "body neutrality."
In her interview with the New York Times, she reflected on her gradual weight loss journey, saying, "I'm taking some time every day to put love into my body... There's never a day when I regret taking a walk or doing some Pilates."
Lizzo’s transformation hasn’t come without controversy. In 2023, she faced accusations from her backup dancers, who alleged that she had engaged in bullying and fat-shaming, claims the singer has vehemently denied.
After spending a year out of the spotlight, she has returned with a focus on health and wellness, telling the NYT, "I've been methodical about losing weight very slowly."
Amid her physical transformation, Lizzo has also expanded her ventures with her shapewear brand, Yitty, recently launching a swimsuit collection.
She has shared numerous photos on social media during her Bali vacation, modeling both bikinis and sportswear, prompting mixed reactions from her fan base.
While some followers have celebrated her new look, others expressed sadness over the loss of her once-signature curvier figure.
Despite the varied responses, Lizzo remains dedicated to her health journey, regularly sharing her fitness routines with her followers. In an August Instagram post, she encouraged fans, writing, "If you’re reading this… remember you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to! Stay focused, you got this."
As Lizzo continues to navigate her personal and public evolution, one thing is certain: she is determined to do so on her own terms, inspiring her fans to embrace health and self-care in whatever form it may take.
