Users Say Singer Lizzo Looks ‘So Skinny,’ Like a ‘Different Person’ — Her Pics Before & After Drastic Weight Loss

Lizzo’s noticeable weight loss has sparked comments about her transformation. One social media user remarked she looks “so skinny,” while another said she resembles a “different person” entirely.

The discussion around her appearance ties back to Lizzo’s openness about her fitness journey, which she’s shared with fans since early 2020. In one post, the “About Damn Time” singer shared a video of herself jumping rope outdoors and tagged her trainer.

Building on her fitness journey, Lizzo took to TikTok in June of that year to share more of her workout routines, including an exercise bike session. In a voiceover, she addressed misconceptions about her goals.

“Hey, so I’ve been working out consistently for the last five years, and it may come off as a surprise to some of y’all that I’m not working out to have your ideal body type. I’m working out to have my ideal body type,” she said.

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.

In a 2022 interview, Lizzo shared her perspective on body positivity and health, laughing off the idea of being boxed in by public expectations. “I can’t fit into a box!” she said, addressing speculation about how weight loss might affect her music or fanbase.

She emphasized prioritizing health — mentally, spiritually, and physically — without focusing on societal pressures. Explaining her veganism, the star stated, “I’m not a vegan to lose weight; I just feel better when I eat plants.”

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.

By May 2024, Lizzo continued to prioritize her health, sharing a workout video on social media. Guided by celebrity trainer Corey Calliet, whom she tagged in the post, the clip showed her ongoing dedication to fitness and well-being.

Lizzo has made it clear that her workouts aren’t about achieving thinness. In 2023, she responded to a TikTok video by @tiffriahgrande, agreeing that not everyone exercises to lose weight.

“Heavy on the not trying to escape fatness,” said the singer, adding that her focus is on health and mental well-being, not thinness, and that she embraces her body’s natural fluctuations.

Lizzo has also shared insights into her weight loss journey, addressing rumors and revealing lifestyle changes. In September 2024, she joked about Ozempic speculation, writing, “When you finally get Ozempic allegations after five months of weight training and calorie deficit.”

Her trainer, Calliet, confirmed in October 2024 that Lizzo has been training five days a week since May and switched from veganism to a high-protein diet, saying she never considered weight loss drugs.

Lizzo explained, “After tests and research, I found that animal proteins helped me have more energy, lose weight, and helped with my mental fog. This is the diet that’s helped me reach my goals and helped me feel good in my body.”

Adding to her string of stunning appearances, Lizzo recently amazed fans on Instagram with her latest look. She shared a series of photos featuring her in milkmaid braids and an elegant off-the-shoulder dress, captioning the post, “Last night I wore milkmaid braids.”

Lizzo’s recent post sparked a wave of mixed reactions from her followers, showcasing a variety of opinions and perspectives. “Yo, Lizzo lost mad weight,” one user said in surprise. Another added, “Can y’all go one post without mentioning how ‘skinny’ she’s getting or how she’s ‘using Ozempic’? She’s been documenting her fitness and healthy eating journey this whole time.”
