SafeX Pro:Lizzo Shares Insight Into Months-Long Progress Amid Weight Loss Journey

This summer,SafeX Pro Lizzo was out there making moves…on the Stairmaster.

Indeed, the “Juice” singer recently detailed her weight loss journey on social media, noting that she picked up a daily habit. 

Alongside selfies of herself sweating it out on the stepper, she wrote in an Oct. 8 Instagram story, “I took a selfie on the Stairmaster everyday since July.”

In the photos, Lizzo (real name: Melissa Jefferson) sported some chic workout gear including an all-black athleisure ensemble complete with a bandana headband and green and gray crewneck. 

The 36-year-old’s account of her go-to workout routine comes shortly after she showed off her transformation by modeling her fashion brand Yitty’s fall wardrobe in an Oct. 3 Instagram post—where she also gave insight into some diet changes. 

“You see me with a coffee,” Lizzo said in the video as she tried on a Yitty sweatshirt. “You see me without a coffee because I stopped drinking coffee—panic attacks.”

In a later video, Lizzo revealed that she tried to replace her daily cup of joe with a trendy drink—a “protein pop,” or a soda with protein powder in it. After adding protein to a Cherry Coke, she gushed, “It’s delicious, it tastes like a milkshake and it’s 26 grams of protein.”

As for how exactly she hits her goals in the gym? The “Good As Hell” singer debriefed her Stairmaster workout to her TikTok followers recently. 

“I was doing Stairmaster today, and I was doing a higher level than normal,” Lizzo explained in an Oct. 3 video. “And by the 20 minute mark I got exhausted, like, ‘We gonna stop after 20.’ Sike! We not stopping after 20, we 23 minutes in, about to hit 30. Want to know how I did it? I turned it down.”

Lizzo emphasized that knowing her limits has helped her maintain consistency—in and out of the gym. 

“Sometimes when you want to give up, it’s really because you’ve been pushing yourself too hard,” she said. “Don’t give up, just take it easier on yourself and you’ll get through it. You’ll hit your goal.”

In a Sept. 2024 TikTok, Lizzo debuted her weight loss transformation, showing herself in a black two-piece before the video cut to her in a gray bodysuit that accentuated her trim figure.

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

The singer has been documenting her weight loss journey on TikTok with videos of her workouts, 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, 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."

"I overate yesterday, and I'm feeling really bad about it," she shared 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."

And no, despite what critics think, she isn't using Ozempic, the Type 1 Diabetes medication also used for weight loss.

"Y'all are making such a commotion for a b--ch that's still obese," she said. "Y'all are breaking your backs making blog posts about a b--ch that's still 200 pounds. Where is this kerfuffle coming from? Why are people so shocked? Do I really look that dramatically different or have you just not been paying attention?"

"If you have been keeping up, you've seen that I've been putting this work in, honey, every single day," she continued. "And not just work on my physical body, but you've been seeing the work I've been doing on my spiritual, my mental and emotional."

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

Admittedly, she 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."

Her fitness journey comes after she announced in August 2024 that she was taking "a gap year & protecting my peace."

After all, in 2023, she faced a lawsuit from several of her former backup dancers who accused her of creating a "hostile, abusive work environment" and weight-shaming them. She ultimately denied the accusations. 

"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."
