Chrissy Metz Shows Off Her 100-Lb. Weight Loss in Colorful Spring Dress

Metz told the Daily Mail in April that she had lost 100 lbs. during an interview to promote her children’s book, When I Talk to God, I Talk About Feelings. She also said she had been consistently practicing weight lifting.

"I have always enjoyed strength training. I've always enjoyed lifting weights — like, I don't want to run unless I'm being chased," the actress said of her fitness regime, which involves a personal trainer.

Metz credited her long-term health as the motivation for her health journey. "I want to age the best way that I can, and I want to be strong. And that's really the impetus behind any of it," she said.

The actress also noted to the outlet that it's important to "destigmatize" the prescription medication Ozempic, which has been used by many celebrities for weight loss.

"It's something I feel like, it is so personal and I think it's important to destigmatize anything," she said of the drug. "But I also think it's people's personal decision to decide what it is that they want to do for their body. I think ultimately, at the end of the day, we all just want to feel good and feel good about ourselves."

Metz has long been open about her weight and body image. In November 2018, she told Glamour that it took her decades to feel comfortable enough to wear a swimsuit.

"I grew up wearing a T-shirt at the pool," she explained. "As an adult, I was like, 'I’m gonna find a bathing suit I like and I’m gonna wear it.' "

Earlier that summer, Metz did just that. While vacationing with a friend in Barbados, the actress snapped a photo of herself wearing a black Lane Bryant suit and shared it on Instagram.

Metz recalled that she received a few strange responses to the post. "There were people like, 'Oh my God, look at you! You know I could never do that,' " she recalled to the outlet. "It’s a backhanded compliment, but I’m doing what I want to do."

Metz's weight loss journey is not the only new thing in her life. In April, she spoke to PEOPLE in an exclusive interview about her move from Los Angeles to Nashville.

"I was in L.A. for 21 years, but my family is in Florida, where I'm from, and during the pandemic, I could drive to them from here. It's just a better quality of life here. Everything is 15 minutes away, and it's just so much less stress," she said.

She said she enjoys the overall vibe of Nashville. "There's a lot going on," she explained. "There's obviously great music, great food. I grew up in the South, so I'm used to sort of that hospitality — it feels more communal here. In L.A., it was always like, 'Oh, you have an audition? What's it for? Oh, you have an audition? What for?' It was all very dog-eat-dog."

She's just cute as a button 😍.

Good Lord. She looks like the Easter candy section at Target exploded.

Only 1000 more pounds to lose!

Don't be mean, R3 and R4.

I think she looks very cute, and that dress is flattering on her.

From the article, it seems like she's sick of Hollywood.

Chasing Chrissy, Thursday nights this fall on the CW!

I don't see the difference?

Losing a few pounds is understandable, but losing 100 seems rather careless.

Has she checked under the bed?

Kind of her to remind us of all the Easter Eggs we couldn't afford this year

You're several days late on this.

Mein Führer.

[quote]Don't be mean, [R3] and [R4].

Are you new here? We have never liked Chrissy Metz at DL.

Goals.

Does VV make plus sizes? 🐳

Okay now I can tell. Thank you Ozempic

Did she eat rice cakes to get skinny like Suzanne Sugarbaker?

r12...FFS, this has been proven fake over and over.

It's Chrissy Metz's face on Melissa McCarthy's body. Metz has never lost any significant weight since she's been famous (until now and her supposed 100 lb weight loss).

Here is the pic of Melissa in that dress, which someone used to photoshop Chrissy's head onto.

R5 From the article, it seems like she can't work in Hollywood.

Those cowboy boots aren't helping.

Has the white guy with yellow skin commented on her supposed weight loss yet?

[quote] We have never liked Chrissy Metz at DL

That's not true.

Only the fat shamers don't like her.

There's nothing objectionable about Chrissy.

That dress wouldn't look good on a size 2.

I've never disliked her, I've just always (vocally) encouraged her to lose weight for her own sake. And now she is, and I applaud her for it and will be cheering her on until she's healthy again. She's showing fatties how it's done, like Sidibe and other brave giants before her.

[quote] Only the fat shamers don't like her. There's nothing objectionable about Chrissy.

DL consists of fat shamers (except for fat whores themselves). What we find objectionable about her IS that she’s fat.

I actually don't mind fat people from a poor background because they can't afford quality diet and don't have access to health-related information, and also lack accompanying health literacy.

What I find objectionable are rich fatties who could, but for some reason refuse to lose weight. Now those fuckers I could nuke from space.

R22 What I find objectionable about her is her phony persona.

She can do a Jardiance dance now.

R25 Bolt all the furniture to the floor! No loose items on the tables!

Someone find this.

She’s always claiming she “lost 100 pounds”, yet she always seems to look bigger every year.

Hence, my comment at R24.

Chrissy looks like Ginger Minj's sister!

R30 Her sister with the glandular disorder, you mean.

You are SUCH a bitch, R28!

R32 Isn't that what Chrissy said about Alison Brie during a red carpet hot mic moment?

In related news WeightWatchers files for bankruptcy.

Just paste your head on a photo of Ann Margret's body, Chrissy. It worked for Oprah.

come on - you could show a movie on her ass

come on - she could take a good shit and loose 10 pounds

R34 Did Oprah unload Weight Watchers before it fell on hard times. I think she bought them out at some point.

I don’t know what Oprah did with Weight Watchers, but she took a business that should print money, and she bankrupted it. She’s the Donald Trump of the Lard Ass industry.

Oh my, that photo is showing me Cass Elliot dressed as a n Arctic lion’s mane jellyfish.

R39 I just googled it. She donated all of her shares and resigned from the Weight Watchers board after 9 years once she disclosed that she was taking a weight loss drug. This sent the stock tumbling.

She looks like a size 4 to me!

Christy Mertz, Ethel's illegitimate spawn.

She reminds me of Mrs. Johansen from Daria.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall when she does her "strength training".

I’m sorry I’ve just had two Manhattans so maybe I shouldn’t say anything but “slimmer”? Seriously? Omg. That mushy pastel nightgown nightmare is hurting my eyes. And she borrowed the boots from Rhonda Santis. They weren’t slimming on his fat funky ass and they look like crap on her.
