Chrissy Metz says she has lost 63 pounds since starting GLP-1 medication in 2026. She told People it has eased joint pain and inflammation and improved mobility. She cited perimenopause and obesity in her family as reasons for turning to it.
Metz said she began Weight Watchers at 11. Before her 30th birthday party, a panic attack prompted her to take herself to a hospital; she later said she lost 100 pounds in under five months while eating 2,000 calories a day and walking 20 minutes daily.
After revealing she was using a GLP-1, Metz faced criticism. She told Us Weekly she had tuned out the backlash and said she once thought she would never take the medication, but later found it could be beneficial after researching it herself.
