Lizzo is no stranger to a fun summer photo shoot. She shared a video of herself dancing and lip-syncing in a yellow and blue bikini and high heels on May 24 to celebrate Memorial Day.
The musician has been vocal on social media and in interviews about her weight loss journey since 2023. She also has reminded her followers that the ultimate goal of her weight loss was to improve her mental health.
“Exercise has helped me shift my mind, not my body,” she said in a May 2023 TikTok video.

Later, in a March 2024 interview with The New York Times, Lizzo revealed that she had been “methodical” with her health plan and was “losing weight very slowly.”
She also told the outlet that her idea of body positivity had “evolved into body neutrality.”
“I’m not going to lie and say I love my body every day,” she explained. “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.”
In January 2025, the “About Damn Time” singer shared two mirror selfies on Instagram overlaid with screenshots from an app that showed her weight goal had been achieved.
“I did it,” she captioned the post. “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!”

Lizzo has also been open about the intentional way she talks about losing weight. During an April 7 interview on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, the singer said that she prefers the term “weight release” to “weight loss.”
“My man, he’s so funny,” she said, referring to her boyfriend, Myke Wright. “He was the one that brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I lost five pounds,’ and he was like, ‘Where did it go?’ ”
“It’s like, I don’t think I want to lose anything. I think I want to win. I think I want to gain,” she added.
