Lizzo has always been about confidence, self-love, and embracing her body on her own terms. But now, the Grammy-winning superstar is celebrating a major personal milestone—one that has fans cheering her on. In a recent Instagram post, Lizzo revealed that she’s officially reached her weight release goal, marking the first time she’s seen this number on the scale since 2014. “I did it,” she wrote. “Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to.” Her journey hasn’t been about fitting into a certain mold—it’s been about feeling her best. Here’s how she’s making it happen.


She's Consistent

Lizzo revealed on TikTok that she is extremely consistent with working out. “I don’t really see it because if anyone who’s on a natural weight-loss journey knows, losing weight is actually the slowest thing in the world and you don’t really notice it until you notice it. Also the scale’s not really moving. But anyway, that doesn’t matter. I’m super proud of my current lifestyle.”

She’s Conscious Of Her Wellness

Lizzo revealed on TikTok that she is very conscious of her wellness. “I'm very holistically conscious—like I am very hippie-dippie and woo woo when it comes to food and supplements and just thinking about my body and the environment—and I think a lot of people see a fat person that way and immediately just assume everything they're doing is to be thin. I'm not tryna be thin. I don't ever want to be thin."

She Stopped Being Vegan

Lizzo was previously open about being vegan. However, she revealed in a TikTok that after doing some testing, she decided to add animal product back into her diet. “When I got to Japan, I was in awe at how clean and delicious their food was. I indulged in fresh sushi and fluffy egg. And I was amazed at how good my body felt the next day. After tests and research. I found that animal proteins helped me have more energy, lose weight and helped with my mental fog.”

She Uses A Stairmaster

Lizzo revealed in a TikTok that she uses a stairmaster to keep herself in shape. "I was doing Stairmaster today, and I was doing a higher level than normal. 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."

She Jumps Rope

Last year, Lizzo shared this workout video on Instagram. One thing she is seen doing in it is jumping rope. According to ACE Fitness, “Jumping rope can help improve your coordination. Jumping rope is a cyclic activity, which means you perform it for a steady, regular cadence. The steady cadence and rhythm of jumping rope can help improve the coordination between your eyes, feet and hands.”

Carnie Wilson is showing off her weight loss. In a new social media post the former Wilson Phillips singer looks incredibly svelte. “Another before and ‘during’ ... my health journey! This is 40 pounds down. I feel really different,” she captioned the set of photos. How is she getting in shape? Here is everything you need to know about her weight loss journey.


1. She Is Dieting: No Gluten, Sugar, or Butter

“Knowing that I did this PURELY through diet - no gluten or sugar, no butter and keeping fats down too,” Wilson continues. “Lately I have indulged in cheese and nuts which have more fat. If I chose not to eat corn tortillas, nuts and cheese - there's no way I could keep this up.”

2. She Plans on “Exercising More”

Carnie revealed that up until now she hasn’t been working out very much. “I need to start exercising more to make the scale start to move again, but I'm so proud and pumped,” she writes in the caption.

3. It’s a “Miracle

“I have totally adjusted my eating habits to satisfy my cravings but in a realistic way. And it's a miracle,” she continues. “Hope this inspires someone.”

4. Subhead Goes Right Here

In February, Carnie elaborated on why she decided to embark on a weight loss journey. “My body started rejecting gluten and sugar ... and with my blood sugars at a six ... cholesterol at 225 I was not heading in a good direction,”she wrote on Instagram. “I had a pain in my tummy and had an ultrasound to be sure I had no gallstones. Luckily, I did not. I was too scared to give up the food that I thought was bringing me comfort.”

5. Her Weight Loss Journey Is “An Act of Self Love”

Celebrities Visit SiriusXM - April 10, 2024Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images

“I know there are many ways to lose weight quicker, but it comes down to calories in versus calories expended,” she continued. “For me, this was an act of self love ... knowing which food made me feel like shit and also knowing I can't eat it. The result has been weight loss, more energy, feeling more positive, hopeful, in control and confident. I'm not counting calories or going too cray cray with the scale.”

6. Her Goal Is 155 Pounds

She added that she planned to “reach a physical goal of 155 pounds.” “It's hard sometimes because Lord knows I wanna cram it in my mouth!!! I know how I will feel if I do though — and that's what stops me,” she said. “Thank you for such loving and encouraging words the last five months! It means so much to me!!!!”

1. She Is Body Neutral

LizzoBikiniLizzo/Instagram

Lizzo identifies as “body neutral” not “body positive,” she explained in the December 2021 issue of Essence Magazine. “It’s exhausting,” she said. “And that’s the point. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. We should be neutral about bodies.” She has also used the term "body normative” to describe her approach. “I want to normalize my body. And not just be like, ‘Ooh, look at this cool movement. Being fat is body-positive.’ No, being fat is normal,” she told Vogue in 2020. “I think now, I owe it to the people who started this to not just stop here. We have to make people uncomfortable again, so that we can continue to change. Change is always uncomfortable, right?”

2. She Battled Body Dysmorphia

63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards – ArrivalsShutterstock

Lizzo revealed during a Rolling Stone interview that she battled body image issues as a teen. However, she has come to love herself exactly the way she is. “I’ve come to terms with body dysmorphia and evolved,” she explained.

3. She Tries Not to Respond to the Haters

After being accused of fueling the “obesity epidemic” via Twitter and she responded, she opted to take a step back from social media. “That was the end of that era for me,” she told Rolling Stone.

4. She Wants to Celebrated for Her Music Not Her Body

Global Citizen Live, New YorkKevin Mazur/Getty Images

Lizzo doesn’t want to be seen as “brave” for her body, but celebrated for her music. “I’m so much more than that. Because I actually present that, I have a whole career. It’s not a trend.”

5. She Wants Everyone to Feel “Blessed” and “Capable”

“I’m blessed, and I want you to know that you’re blessed. I want you to know that you woke up this morning, and that’s a blessing, I want you to know the sun is shining somewhere, that’s a blessing, and even if it’s raining, it’s cleansing you – it’s a blessing. I want you to know that whatever you’re going through, if it doesn’t feel good, that you will feel good again, and you have whatever it takes to feel good again,” she said during an Instagram video she posted after the Twitter situation. “You are capable. You deserve to feel good as hell, and you deserve to find that. And as proud as you are of me, I’m proud of you. I’m really proud of you – because life comes at you fast, and sometimes it can be so hard, but if I can make it, I know you can make it. We can make it together.”

6. She Prioritizes Self Care

“Self care is in the little moments — bathing, sweating, washing your hair.. it’s in laughing so hard you can barely catch a breath, your lungs expanding on a morning jog… now more than ever we need to enjoy the quiet within ourselves,” Lizzo said on Instagram.

7. She Wants Everyone to Feel “Good As Hell”

“Let me talk to y’all for a second,” Lizzo told fans at the 2019 MTV VMAs. “It’s so hard trying to love yourself in a world that doesn’t love you back, am I right?” she said. “So I want to take this opportunity right now to just feel good….. Because you deserve to feel good …. So tell me how you’re feeling?”

8. She Loves Her “Dimple” and “Stretch Marks”

“I’m doing this for myself. I love creating shapes with my body, and I love normalizing the dimples in my” backside “or the lumps in my thighs or my back fat or my stretch marks. … I think it’s beautiful,” she told Essence about loving her body.

9. She Chose to Accept Herself

“I don’t think that loving yourself is a choice. I think that it’s a decision that has to be made for survival; it was in my case,” she told NBC News. “Loving myself was the result of answering two things: Do you want to live? ‘Cause this is who you’re gonna be for the rest of your life. Or are you gonna just have a life of emptiness, self-hatred and self-loathing? And I chose to live, so I had to accept myself.”

10. She Believes Fitness Has No Clothing Size

“I want people to realise that fitness doesn’t have a look or an aesthetic or a weight. Fitness is a very personal thing that’s between you and your doctor,” she told Billboard. “To have a big black girl singing about how she’s working on the calisthenics – because mind you, I be in the gym everyday, but people don’t believe that … I think that it’s empowering for young girls, to see that it’s okay to work out and not have a six-pack.”

Lizzo is having an amazing year. Her most recent album, Special, was extremely successful, and produced the hits “About Damn Time,” and “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready.” She also shared a stunning new set of photos on Instagram. In them, the singer posed by the pool. She wore a light blue and brown patterned bathing suit and matching wrap. Lizzo captioned the post, “Sex symbol.” "A Baddie," said one fan. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lizzo stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Avoids Certain Products

Lizzo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She revealed her tips in this TikTok. ​​"I have extremely sensitive skin,” she says. The singer revealed that she has to be careful of what she puts on her skin, and there is a type of product she avoids. “So if I have scented soaps—and I accidentally used scented soap at one of the hotels—it will break me out and make me itchy.”

2. She Speaks Out

Lizzo opened up about her career in an interview with Vanity Fair. The singer is known for expressing her opinions about certain topics. Lizzo talked about the overturning of Roe v. Wade, “It shouldn’t matter if I had a personal experience or knew somebody; it shouldn’t matter what my opinion is. Opinions is what got us in this shit in the first place—what people think people should be doing with their bodies. These days, we don’t create laws that support people having health care, never mind abortions. How about letting people have access and resources and mind their fucking business?”

3. She Doesn’t Hide Her Emotions

Lizzo is known for being honest, and she talked about her approach to Vanity Fair. “There’s been so many times I’ve been in glam where I’ve been sad about something, either a romantic thing or somebody passed away, or something in the news, and I’d get emotional and I’d say ‘I’ve got to take a break because I’m going to cry and fuck up the makeup,’” she says. “I had to go and do my job. So I went to the bathroom to cry about it, then I went online, because once I learn how to express myself, I need to tell that person how I really feel. I know I’m not the only person who experiences extreme negativity thrown at them from the internet—there are people in high school right now who have a whole high school talking about them, and they don’t know how they’re going to get through it. So if they can see me get through it on the level and the scale I’m experiencing it, maybe they’ll think they can get through it too.”

4. She’s Enjoying Herself

While Lizzo is known for being honest with her emotions, she’s also known for her fun-loving persona. She tells Vanity Fair, “I saw a picture of me laughing and someone said she seems to have a lot of fun with her fans. Yeah, I do have fun, because if I’m not having fun right now, when am I going to be able to enjoy having a hot, rockin’ bod, being young, beautiful, and rich?”

5. She’s Vegan

Lizzo opened up about her diet to Vanity Fair. She says that she is a vegan. “I lead a very healthy lifestyle—mentally, spiritually, I try to keep everything I put in my body super clean. Health is something I prioritize, wherever that leads me physically. Like veganism, people were like, ‘You’re a vegan? What, are you deep frying the lettuce?’ I’m not a vegan to lose weight, I just feel better when I eat plants.”

Singer Lizzo is on vacation. However, she is still making time to celebrate her new hit song. Lizzo posted a new set of photos of herself in an outdoor shower on Instagram. In it, she posed in a pink bikini, looking stunning. She captioned the post, “#1 SONG IN THE COUNTRY AND I AINT EVEN IN THE COUNTRY.” How does she stay so put-together? Read on to see 5 ways Lizzo stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Does Heat Cups

Lizzo makes sure to take care of her skin. One thing she likes to do is cupping. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself doing the procedure. Lizzo captioned the post, “I just really like this stuff and I want more.” “Cupping therapy involves heating the air inside a glass cup, which removes some of the air from the cup. The cup is then quickly placed on the skin, and the resulting vacuum pulls the skin partially into the cup, causing a bruise. Some people say they do experience a release in muscle tension afterwards, but there's not much research to prove one way or the other,” says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Embraces Her Body

Lizzo is all about body positivity. Her music seeks to inspire women and make them feel better about who they are. She also isn’t afraid to show off her body. Lizzo posted this video showing off her body on Instagram. She captioned it, “Embracing them back rolls and showing them love.”

3. She Works Out To Bust Stress

Lizzo revealed her wellness routine to Yahoo. She says that exercise is a big way of dealing with her stress. "I'll literally be so stressed out or so sad about something and 30 minutes later after doing cardio or calisthenics or weight training or a hike, I'm like, 'Damn, I'm glad I did that. I feel so much better.' That's a true reward for me. Sometimes ... the stress that you're feeling, you've got to match that stress with something that's good for you to get it out of your body.”

4. She’s Authentic

Lizzo is all about authenticity. She says that she wants her fans and followers to see her authentic self. "Social media is so curated, people think that you're supposed to be, like, happy all the time," she says to Yahoo. "And it's like, if you're not happy all the time, why would you show that? But it's like, people act like they don't cry. People act like they're not upset about things. And the fact that I choose to show it is, for me, helpful. If it's happening to me online, I kind of wanna work it out online too, you know? It's not like a cry for help and it's not to bring any pity. It's more so to just, like, normalize it."

5. She Manifests

Lizzo has had a successful career. She tells Yahoo that one of her secrets is setting goals and making things happen. "I absolutely believe in the power of manifestation because I've seen it," she says. "It's not just, like, a cool, trendy thing for me. 2018 going into 2019, I was like, 'more milestones,'" she says. "And that was one of the most milestone-rific years of my life. So I truly believe in it."

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
