Chrissy Metz is speaking out on her weight loss journey and she wants to clear up some reports.
Amid rumors that she has lost 100 pounds, Chrissy says that she doesn’t want to focus on the number. “I have lost a little weight,” she told People.
Chrissy, 44, is also opening up about her thoughts on GLP-1 medicines and other weight loss drugs.

“But medicines like GLP-1 bring up very complicated feelings for me,” Chrissy said. “If you’re diabetic and need to lower your A1C, these are things that are important to take care of. But if you already have a restrictive eating disorder and take something that minimizes your appetite, it can become a very slippery slope.”
Chrissy isn’t against using a GLP-1 medicine though, especially since her father died from sepsis after getting gastric bypass.
“I never said I was the poster child for body positivity. I just want to do what I can do to live the longest, healthiest life,” she said. “I’m at a stage in life where I don’t want that to be me. I wonder if he’d had GLP-1s whether he’d still be around.”
Chrissy has been focusing on healthy eating and working out.
“I need to strength-train, eat more protein. I want to be mobile. I’m relying on intuitive eating and asking myself, ‘Is what I’m putting in my body harmful or helpful?’” she said. “I want to be health-positive. It’s not that I condone morbid obesity or heroin chic. I condone a healthy body. There are plenty of people who are bigger-bodied and perfectly healthy.”
Chrissy recently made a red carpet appearance amid the release of her Netflix series The Hunting Wives and Lifetime movie Faith in the Flames.
