Celebrity personal trainer Jillian Michaels made a comment about singer Lizzo’s weight during an interview on Buzzfeed. She said “I love her music… But there’s never a moment where I’m like, ‘I’m so glad that she’s overweight.’” Michaels heard a lot of blowback from the comment.
The former The Biggest Loser trainer pointed out that obesity is the number one contributor to diabetes and cancer, among other life-threatening diseases.
Michaels wasn’t always thin and in shape, according to her standards.
She proved it by sharing a photo of what she considers her overweight 8th grade self when she was 175 lbs. and 5-foot-tall.
She is now 45 years old and 5’3″ — and presumably weighs a lot less. See “before and after” transformation photos below.
