Lizzo has publicly announced she has maintained an alcohol-free lifestyle for two consecutive months, sharing the milestone via her Instagram Story on Thursday. The 37-year-old music artist posted a humorous TikTok meme featuring a ghoulish character alongside the caption: 'When my [homegirls] think getting me drunk will be fun but I genuinely give off this vibe when drunk.' She explicitly added at the bottom of the clip: '2 months no alcohol.'
Comprehensive Health and Fitness Transformation
This revelation follows Lizzo's significant physical transformation, where she shed an impressive 60 pounds after initiating what she describes as an intentional 'weight release journey' in late 2023. In July 2025, the singer provided detailed insights into her rigorous fitness regimen and dietary adjustments, which include training three times weekly, daily sauna sessions, and consistent cardio workouts.
At that time, Lizzo acknowledged she had previously 'quit drinking for the longest' period but later reintroduced alcohol into her lifestyle, feeling she had 'earned it.' Her current two-month abstinence marks a renewed commitment to her health objectives.
Dietary Modifications and Physical Activities
Lizzo has implemented substantial changes to her nutrition, reintroducing animal protein into her diet and hiring a personal chef to assist with meal preparation. She has eliminated sugary beverages from Starbucks, full-fat sodas, and potato chips from her daily intake.
Regarding physical activity, the singer enjoys a diverse range of movements including pickleball, hiking, beach walks, dancing, and maintaining proper hydration. 'I play pickleball and hike and walk on the beach and move my body and dance and drink water,' she explained, emphasizing an active lifestyle beyond traditional gym workouts.
Public Discussion of Weight Release Journey
During an appearance on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast in April 2025, Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, openly discussed her transformation. She declared, 'I have been on an intentional weight release journey,' noting she documented the process online through social media posts.
'I think over the last year and a half, as I've been doing it, my body has been changing – very slowly – but I don't think people were paying attention,' she reflected. The singer emphasized maintaining an anti-fatphobia stance throughout her journey while recognizing that not everyone follows her updates closely.
'I think [my weight loss] was shocking to a lot of people,' Lizzo acknowledged, addressing the surprise many fans expressed upon noticing her physical changes.
Recent Personal Confessions
Earlier this week, the entertainer made headlines with a candid revelation on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, confessing she lost her virginity just six years ago. The Truth Hurts hitmaker explained she wanted to win a Grammy before experiencing sex for the first time, describing herself as a 'late bloomer' who 'lied about it for a long time.'
Speaking to hosts Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky, and Kristin Batalucco, Lizzo clarified the timing: 'It was not the night of Grammys' but occurred shortly after her first Grammy win in January 2020. 'I feel a weight off of my chest right now,' she expressed, recalling the embarrassment she felt when questioned by friends about her virginity status.
Lizzo has been in a relationship with musician and comedian Myke Wright since 2022, with the couple appearing together publicly as recently as January. Her journey represents a multifaceted transformation encompassing physical health, lifestyle choices, and personal openness about previously private aspects of her life.
