Watch: Lizzo Shares She’s Met Her Weight Loss Goal Amid Transformation Journey

Lizzo's body transformation journey has been going good as hell.

The 36-year-old shared that she reached a key milestone on her road to wellness, four months after she first debuted a slimmer figure.

"I did it. Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal," Lizzo wrote on her Instagram Jan. 25, alongside a mirror selfie. "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!"

In her post, the "Good as Hell" singer did not state her weight, past or present, but did note that she had lost 16 percent of her body fat.

"I am actually on an intentional weight loss journey right now," she added on TikTok. "Even at the end of my weight loss journey, I'm not going to be considered thin by any means. I will still be considered morbidly obese on the BMI and little bros on the internet are still going to call me 'big backed.' But I will be happy."

Lizzo had first shared her body transformation journey when she debuted a slimmer figure in September on social media. She has offered tidbits about how she achieved her goals, while seemingly denying one particular rumor.

"When you finally get ozempic allegations," she wrote on Instagram, days after debuting her new look, "after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit."

The Grammy winner, who has also shifted away from her previous vegan diet amid her journey, later poked fun at the weight loss drug use speculation by spoofed her own South Park parody this past Halloween. She dressed up as a package of the fictional weight loss drug Lizzo, which was referenced on the series' special The End of Obesity.

"It’s that time of year where I feed y’all so ridiculously," she wrote on Instagram at the time, "and you’re so very welcome baby."

Lizzo captioned another post, "LizzOzempic dump."

Taking a Step Back

Lizzo has shared that she's been in on "intentional weight release journey" since 2023.

She had also faced a lawsuit that year, filed by several of her former backup dancers who accused her of creating a "hostile, abusive work environment" and weight-shaming, accusations she vehemently denied. 

"With passion comes hard work and high standards," she wrote on Instagram. "Sometimes I have to make hard decisions but it's never my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable or like they aren't valued as an important part of the team."

"I know what it feels like to be body shamed on a daily basis, she continued, "and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight."

In between albums at the time, the "About Damn Time" artist announced in August 2024 that she was taking "a gap year & protecting my peace."

Learning How to Love Me

Lizzo admittedly has her ups and downs when it comes to her body.

"I'm not going to lie and say I love my body every day," she told The New York Times in April 2024. "The bottom line is, the way you feel about your body changes every single day. There are some days I adore my body, and others when I don't feel completely positive."

Looking Good as Hell No Matter What

In a Sept. 18, 2024, TikTok, Lizzo posted her own before and after, showing herself in a black two-piece before the video cut to her in a gray bodysuit.

As she captioned the clip, "Fine both ways."

Dust Your Shoulders Off, Keep It Moving

"When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit," Lizzo quipped via Instagram Sept. 20.

That Power Looks So Good on Her

The Grammy winner stepped out for lunch at Nobu Sept. 27 wearing a sheer black and white dress by Jean Paul Gaultier with a black bodysuit. She topped the look with a leather trenchcoat draped on her shoulders, large silver hoop earrings and black sunglasses.

Nobody’s Perfect

"I overate yesterday, and I'm feeling really bad about it," she shared in a Sept. 30, 2024, TikTok while detailing the ups and downs of her journey. "I'm trying to remind myself that my body needs that nourishment and if my body deserves comfort then my brain deserves comfort too."

She’s Her Own Inspiration

The singer has been all about TikTok fitspo, including one that explained how she pushes through workouts.

"I was doing Stairmaster today, and I was doing a higher level than normal," the sweat-drenched star explained in October 2024, noting that in order to avoid quitting early, she dropped down to a lower speed. "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."

Goooooal!!

"I did it," Lizzo shared on Instagram Jan. 25, 2025. "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!"

Massaging the Numbers

On July 3, 2025, Lizzo shared a before-and-after from her first lymphatic massage with Flavia Lanini vs. her latest.

She credited the treatment, which targets specific areas to move excess fluid away from tissues and toward lymph vessels and nodes to flush out toxins, along with wood therapy, training three times a week, pickleball, dancing, drinking water, consuming less sugar and more protein, a monthly detox and various other lifestyle adjustments for her health transformation.
