Lizzo I just wanted to feel better from head to toe.
“Once I started working out for my mental health, to have balanced mental health or endorphins, so I wouldn’t look in the mirror and be ashamed of myself and feel disgusted with myself,” the “Good as Hell” singer explained in a May 2023 TikTok, “exercise helped me change my mind, not my body.”
She admitted in a January 2025 TikTok that she was on an “intentional weight loss journey,” with her goal simply being the best version of herself.
“Even at the end of my weight loss journey, I will in no way be considered thin,” Lizzo said. “My BMI will always mark me as morbidly obese and the little brothers on the internet will continue to call me ‘big back’. But I will be happy.”
A second later, the video cut to Lizzo exclaiming, “And I’m happy,” as she showed a screen showing her body fat had decreased by 16 percent and she had shaved 10.5 points off her body mass index (BMI).
“Let this remind you that you can do anything…Nothing“- you decided to do it,” she added. “Now I guess it’s time to set some new goals.”
