Oprah Winfrey Opens Up About Her Weight Loss

In 2024, Oprah thanked new weight loss drugs for her transformation but also noted that she still has to put in the work to maintain her figure and, most importantly, her health.

She has also credited fasting, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle for keeping her in shape in her 70s.

“I had an awareness of [weight-loss] medications, but I felt I had to prove I had the willpower to do it. I now no longer feel that way,” she told People.

She also said, “The fact that there’s a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for. I’m absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself.”
