By February 2021, Lizzo opened up about the steady pace of her progress, noting that others often commented on her weight loss—though she hadn’t noticed a significant change herself. “If anyone who’s on a natural weight loss knows, losing weight is actually the slowest thing in the world, and you don’t really notice it until you notice it,” she shared.Despite seeing no movement on the scale, the Michigan native expressed pride in her healthy routine, which included meditative mornings with sound balls, making smoothies, taking wellness shots and vitamins, and hitting the gym for her workouts.

Lizzo also reflected on the complexity of food and stress, noting, “It sucks that we associate weight gain with the negative thing that causes it. I feel very lucky because I don’t feel that weight gain is bad anymore. Nor is weight loss — it’s neutral. And food is fun.”

Continuing her candid reflections, Lizzo shared a heartfelt update in a November 2023 Instagram post. Alongside a selfie in a robe, she wrote, “Hi. I’m working… on music, myself, relationships with people and food, my anxiety, my body, my business, and my trust issues with the world… but they are deep now, deeper than they’ve ever been. Xoxo.”
Lizzo’s journey of self-care extended into December 2023, when she shared a TikTok video of herself doing Pilates. Captioning the post, “Help I started Pilates to heal my back now I can’t stop,” she showcased her commitment to physical wellness while adding her signature humor to the mix.

The ongoing discussions around her transformation align with Lizzo’s evolving views on body positivity. While she has long been celebrated as an advocate for embracing curves, her perspective has shifted over time.
