This Is Us Star Loses Over 100 Pounds Amid Weight Loss Journey

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Former heavyweight actress Chrissy Metz is celebrating a significant milestone in her weight loss journey. The 44-year-old, known for her role in the hit TV series ‘This Is Us,’ has reportedly shed over 100 pounds, though she has never publicly disclosed her previous weight.

Sources indicate that Metz weighed more than 300 pounds at her heaviest. While she has not confirmed whether she is using popular weight loss medications such as Ozempic or Wegovy, she also has not denied it. In response to questions about her weight loss methods, Metz stated, “I think it’s people’s personal decision to decide what it is that they want to do for their body.”

A source close to Metz said, “She’s keeping mum on whether she’s getting some help, but her loved ones are hoping she sticks with whatever it is.” Her support system believes the weight loss is a big deal, but they also wish to see her reach a genuinely healthy weight where she can feel good.

The source also expressed concern, noting that Metz has lost weight in the past only to gain it back before reaching her goals. “The worry is that she won’t be able to crack that threshold this time around either,” the insider said. The source emphasized that the 100 pounds lost is just a start and that she still has more to lose.

Dr. Stuart Fischer, author of ‘The Park Avenue Diet‘, chimed in on Metz’s situation, saying, “She is still extremely overweight, which puts her at higher risk for heart disease and diabetes.” Fischer, who is not a client of Metz, suggested that a goal weight of 130 pounds would be healthier for the 5-foot-5 star.
