Amanda Bynes surfaces in Malibu after candidly revealing weight loss process

Amanda Bynes was spotted this week running errands in Malibu after candidly revealing her weight loss process.

The 38-year-old former actress cut a casual figure in a pearl grey hoodie and a black set of leggings, highlighting her reduced frame.

Wearing her platinum blonde hair down, the The Amanda Show star accessorized with a black leather purse that featured quilted stitching.

She sported a set of long pink fingernails and jazzed up her ensemble with jewelry, including multiple bracelets and a nose ring.

Her latest sighting comes weeks after she updated her fans on her fitness goals on Instagram, revealing she had lost six pounds.

By doing so, she had gotten herself down to 154lbs, closer to her ultimate objective of 110lbs, which she announced earlier this year.

Amanda disclosed her goal weight in March when she wrote on Instagram that she had 'gained over 20lbs in the past few months from being depressed.'

At that time, she was 'doing a lot better,' to the point that even when she did not 'feel like working out or eating clean,' she had trained herself to work on her health.

In 2015, five years after she appeared in her last movie Easy A and retired from acting, she confessed she had 'definitely abused Adderall' to shed pounds.

She discovered she could take the drug to lose weight while she was filming the 2007 remake of the classic John Waters film Hairspray.

During the shoot, she happened upon a magazine article that referred to Adderall as 'the new skinny pill' and discussed 'how women were taking it to stay thin. I was like: "Well, I have to to get my hands on that."'

Amanda acquired a prescription to the amphetamine by visiting 'and faking the symptoms of ADD,' she admitted to Paper magazine. 

She frankly addressed about her body image issues in 2013, sharing on social media: 'I have an eating disorder so I have a hard time staying thin.' 

That same year Amanda, who had suffered from mental health struggles, started a fire in a stranger's driveway and was placed under a psychiatric hold for 72 hours. 

She was then put under a conservatorship held by her mother Lynne - one that lasted for nine years until it was dissolved in 2022 with her parents' approval.

Last year, Amanda was reportedly placed in a psychiatric hold after she was found 'roaming the streets naked and alone,' according to TMZ.

She alleged took matters into her own hands to get the help she required, beckoning a passing car and dialing 911, it was claimed. 

Her parents reportedly did not attempt to restore her conservatorship, as they took note of the fact she realized she was unwell and sought treatment herself.
