The “Good As Hell” hitmaker added a graphic to the image that read, “Congratulations! You’ve met your weight goals,” along with an illustration of a target.
Lizzo also displayed her arms and midsection in a close-up photo with a graphic that listed her weight-loss stats. Since January 23, 2024, Lizzo had reduced her body max index by 10.5 and her body fat had decreased by 16 percent.
“Let this be a reminder that you can do anything—anything you set your mind to.”
The graphic also stated that Lizzo had hit her weight goal, but she didn’t share her current weight.

Lizzo also shared the news on her TikTok page as she posted a video in which she candidly addressed her personal goals.
“I am actually on an intentional weight loss journey right now,” she said in the first part of the clip. “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,” she emphasized.
The video then cuts to a clip in which a beaming Lizzo exclaims, “And I am happy!”
“I stepped on the scale and I met my weight release goal,” she continued. Lizzo, who was wearing a black workout bodysuit, then began dancing and singing the lyrics to Kelly Rowland’s hit song “Like This.”
“Let this be a reminder that you can do anything—anything you set your mind to,” Lizzo added. “Now, I guess it’s time to set new goals.”
