Here’s everything to know about Lizzo’s “weight release” journey and transformation.
Lizzo’s weight loss update explained
Although Lizzo hasn’t shared her current weight in units, the singer and rapper was excited to reveal that she has dropped 16% of her body fat. Lizzo further shared that she has lost her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5 points since the beginning of her weight loss journey. The caption underneath the Instagram post reads a cheerful and optimistic note saying, “I did it. 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!”
During her April 7 appearance on Jay Shetty’s podcast “On Purpose”, Lizzo got candid about her fitness transformation. The rapper also shed light on why she chose to call it a “weight release”. She refused to refer to her journey as a weight “loss” because she believes it does not suit to describe the positive benefits that the transformation has brought with it. “The weight that is no longer on me is not just fat or physical. I released so much to get to this point, and I think people can see that, and I don’t want to describe anything as loss. I’m not experiencing any loss. I’ve actually gained so much,” explains Lizzo.
The Grammy-winning star further listed all the perks of the diet and exercise regime she had been following. She stated, “I’ve gained, like, a sense of self. I’ve gained, like, a lifestyle that I actually really love, and I’m like, ‘I can maintain this.’ I’ve gained new perspective on, like, nutrition and the science behind cardio and weight lifting.” The rapper recently made her red carpet debut at the Breakthrough Prize Ceremony. She stepped in with her stunning new physique, flaunting a fitted red dress.
