How Did Chrissy Metz Lose Weight? The ‘This Is Us' Actress's 100-Lb. Health Transformation
Chrissy Metz opened up about her amazing 100-pound weight loss transformation in April 2025. The This Is Us actress shared how she reached her health and fitness goals, all while debunking Ozempic and gastric bypass surgery rumors.
Life & Style reflects on Chrissy's weight loss journey and reveals how she dropped 100 pounds.
The When I Talk to God, I Talk About Feelings author lost weight by choosing a workout she enjoyed participating in: 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,' Chrissy told The Daily Mail in April 2025 before explaining her relationship with her Nashville-based personal trainer.
'We have things in common where it's not just like, 'Why are you doing this?' Like, I don't want to be yelled at. I want to be lovingly supported in whatever it is that I'm doing,'' she continued to the outlet.
During Chrissy's April 2025 interview with The Daily Mail, she addressed speculation that she turned to surgery and medication to achieve her weight loss results.
'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,' Chrissy told the publication at the time. 'I think if you're not hurting anybody, and you're not hurting yourself, you should do what you feel is right for your body or your mind or whatever.'
Meanwhile, the Breakthrough star revealed she would 'never' undergo a weight loss procedure.
'I don't even take Tylenol, like, I really am such a weirdo that way. I'm like, 'Yeah, no,'' she said. 'It wouldn't take with me. I could eat past it. With anything, it's a lifestyle change. I mean whatever is best for the person, but, like, also for me, with like a bariatric surgery, so much of my food issues, personally, are psychological in that like, yes, you could sort of put a band-aid on the problem. But like, What's the bigger issue? There's a bigger issue for me.'
Chrissy dove headfirst into her weight loss journey while trying to avoid health complications that come with aging while being classified as obese. Ultimately, she wants to be 'strong' and 'age the best way [she] can.'
'I'm literally doing it because I am nervous about aging, about osteoporosis or arthritis, you know, and because they are now discovering so much about health overall [and] it's really about being and staying strong and flexible,' the Emmy-nominated actress told The Daily Mail.
Back in 2016, Chrissy explained how she needed to lose weight as a stipulation in her contract while starring on This Is Us. While the starlet was on board about improving her lifestyle, she made it very clear she wasn't interested in losing weight for aesthetic purposes.
'That was a win-win for me. Because it's one thing to try to do it on your own. But as human beings, it's an ego thing: We're more likely to do something for someone else,' she told TVLine at the time. 'I just have to be very clear. Whether or not I lose weight or stay the same, it's purely a choice of mine for health. Not because I think that plus-size, curvy, voluptuous, big bodies aren't attractive — because I think they're awesome and sexy.'

Trump-backed bill could block Tennessee's AI laws, threaten deepfake protections
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' could change the way Tennessee regulates artificial intelligence. New language added to the legislation would block states from regulating AI or risk losing federal broadband funding. That means state laws like the Elvis Act, which protects artists from having their voices or images stolen by AI, would be put on pause. 'We are just hoping that we're not taking a couple steps backward since there's no federal regulation currently in place,' Kaley Bonett, a Nashville entertainment lawyer at Hall Booth Smith, said. MAY: House Republicans include a 10-year ban on US states regulating AI in 'big, beautiful' bill 'The songwriters — all — are entitled to revenue generated from the performances and distribution of that particular sound recording of their song, so if there's a deepfake imposing and competing with the authentic, then it's going to affect where the revenue share goes,' a Nashville managing partner and shareholder for Hall Booth Smith, Karl Braun, explained. 'It's going to be very difficult for, let's say, a songwriter to protect themselves legally from this evolving kind of internet Wild, wild west.' 'The big beautiful bill that the president is advancing does not replace those regulations with anything, which is almost unprecedented,' Plaintiffs Attorney at Spragens Law, David Kieley, said. Also at risk is the 'Preventing Deep Fakes Images Act,' which makes it a felony to post fake AI images designed to harm someone's reputation. Nashville-based meteorologist Bree Smith was targeted by AI imagery herself, explaining that someone used AI to take her face and put it on someone else's semi-naked body. '[This bill] just means that we are saying for 10 years we are going to let people potentially be victimized in this way, and that can't happen,' Smith said. 'It's not going to be any more okay for something like that to happen 10 years from now than it is for it to happen today.' 'Even looking prospectively at things we haven't really encountered yet, but this would stop the state from being able to regulate things like driverless cars in your town, driverless 18-wheelers on Tennessee highways,' Kieley added. 'We don't know really how this technology could affect public safety things like 9-1-1, dispatch.' A law signed just last week by Governor Lee banning AI-generated child sexual abuse material could also be blocked. ⏩ 'It would put child sex predators and big tech over the safety of our families,' Sen. Heidi Campbell (D-Nashville) said. 'This is really antithetical to the values that people across the aisle in Tennessee have been communicating with our legislation.' The president's bill passed in the House of Representatives. It's now in the Senate, where supporters hope to finalize it by July. Senator Marsha Blackburn has previously stated that Tennessee needs AI safeguards, saying, 'Until we pass something that is federally preemptive, we can't call for a moratorium on those things.'

Wake Up With Rooftop Paddleboard Yoga at The Maybourne Beverly Hills Super Swanky Pool
Wake Up With Rooftop Paddleboard Yoga at The Maybourne Beverly Hills Super Swanky Pool originally appeared on L.A. Mag. Paddleboard yoga has long been a craze in Los Angeles. But for those of us who are terrified of the pounding waves of the Pacific Ocean, or hear the theme from Jaws when venturing too far from the shore, the floating yoga studio at The Maybourne Beverly Hills is a great way to jump into the aquatic workout. This month, The Maybourne Beverly Hills began offering YOGAqua classes in the stunning pool in the picturesque pool on the hotel's ninth floor led by the technique's founder Sarah Tiefenthaler, who started her SUP [standup paddleboard] business on Mother's Beach in Marina del Rey in 2011. The class promises participants a 60-minute, Vinyasa-style session that is accessible for any level, seasoned yogis or terrified beginners (like me). "No previous yoga or SUP experience is required—just a willingness to try something new and embrace a little wobble," the hotel promises. With a class costing just $30 bucks - which includes a complimentary juice from The Maybourne Café after the practice - it's a steal for anyone who wants to learn the practice in calm, still waters without the fear of jellyfish or sharks. The partnership with YOGAqua is part of a trend that multiple luxury hotels are leaning into: inviting residents of their areas to participate in the spa or pool offerings. The Shay in Culver City has teamed up with ResortPass for a $25 dollar entry deal for its rooftop pool, one of the many boutique hotels who are swinging open its doors to Angelenos for staycations. Next Thursday, The Maybourne Beverly Hills will be the site for the pride party celebration hosted by Los Angeles that will include a slew of special guests including our June cover star Matt Bomer. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
