    Lizzo will never be "considered thin" - even after losing weight

    The 36-year-old pop star - whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson - revealed on Saturday (25.01.25) that she has lost 16 percent body fat thanks to a recent health kick but insisted that she will always be "morbily obese", according to the rule of thumb known as the Body Mass Index scale


    Speaking in a video posted to Instagram, she said: "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."

    But the 'About Damn Time' hitmaker was keen to remind her followers that her recent achievements in weight loss show that any goal in life can be accomplished as long as the work is put in.

    She added: "And I am happy! Let this be a reminder that you can do anything you set your mind to. Now, I guess it's time to set new goals."

    Throughout 2024, the 'Good As Hell' singer had been documenting her wellness journey and 100lb weight los for fans on social media but hit back at one follower who suggested that she had turned to Ozempic to shed the pounds.

    She posted the person's comment on her Instagram alongside another post sharing their profile.

    Lizzo said the fan had asked her: "'oZeMpIc oR cOkE? (four crying face emojis.) she wrote in the caption.

    She then uploaded videos of herself in the same carousel of images showing her wearing a red bathrobe.

    She captioned one of the clips: "When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit."

    Lizzo also joked the allegations she was on diabetes drug Ozempic or cocaine to lose weight were "like a reward" after she has spent months in the gym.
