Lizzo shows off her incredible 60lb weight loss in a leggy pink mini dress as she performs in Houston

Lizzo showed off the results of her incredible weight loss journey by posting a leggy snap to her Instagram on Friday.

The artist has said in the past that she underwent a 'weight release' journey, losing approximately 60 pounds, or 16 per cent of her body fat, by early 2025.

The Grammy-winning singer, 37, posed in a sparkly pink mini dress as she prepared to perform a show in Houston.

She completed her sexy look with towering black strappy heels and a statement necklace and looked in great spirits as she beamed away.

The superstar penned in the caption of her latest Instagram post: 'I (purple heart emoji) U HOUSTON!'

The star has been been documenting her health journey in the form of selfies on social media over the last three years.

In November 2025, Lizzo penned a Substack essay addressing critics of her body transformation and health journey after years of being a body positive icon.

'It was never about being "thin" for me,' Lizzo wrote. 'I don't even think it's possible for me to be considered actually "thin." 

'I will always have the stretch, and the skin of a woman who carries great weight. And I'm proud of that. Even when the world doesn't want me to be.' 

Elsewhere in the essay, she also opened up about when and why she embarked on her journey to overhaul her health and lifestyle in 2023. 

She recalled how she felt 'severely depressed' and 'deeply suicidal' at the time after a 'vicious scandal.' 

She was referring to the lawsuit, in which her former backup dancers sued her for alleged sexual harassment, fat-shaming and a hostile work environment — all of which she has vehemently denied. 

Lizzo said that she started to lose weight while going through a difficult time of 'self-loathing and self-neglect.' 

She said losing weight 'wasn't intentional' but that led to a breakthrough in therapy and inspired her to start taking care of her body and losing weight with intention.

She said her weight was a 'protective shield, a joyful comfort zone, and even sometimes a super hero suit to protect me through life' but she 'wanted to release myself from it.' 

The Good as Hell hitmaker later added: 'If a woman wants to change, she should be allowed to change.' 

She also noted that what she wanted to change was rather 'how I felt in my body' and said she still thinks of herself as a 'proud big girl.' 

'And I love myself as I've loved myself no matter what the scale says.'
