Rebel Wilson Opens Up About Losing Weight to Be Healthier Despite "Career Risk"
Actress/author Rebel Wilson got her big break as “Fat Amy” in the film “Pitch Perfect” - from that moment on, her body and being a self-described “proud fat female” became a huge part of her public persona. So much so that when she decided to lose weight for her health, her now former agent said her “career would be over” if she did. In Rebel’s first-ever sit-down with Oprah, as part of the “Making the Shift” special, the pair discusses the complexities behind Rebel’s decision to lose weight, her new book “Rebel Rising,” the “emotional war” she had to fight within herself, and how she’s doing now - a few years later.
“Making the Shift,” which aired on May 9 to a live studio audience, unpacks the multifaceted, preconceived notions we have about weight, from the profound impact diet culture has had on our society to how we can reframe harmful narratives surrounding our weight and our bodies. The conversation - featuring Rebel Wilson, Busy Philipps, Amber Riley, and many others - brought together individuals, communities and medical experts to bridge the science of “weight” with a new outlook that brings the health and wellbeing of our bodies into focus.

These two ladies have both admitted to being on Ozempic, and here they are discussing losing weight in a healthy way... Seriously?
💯
I'm investing in myself for the first time at 52 y.o. I met with personal trainer and want to feel stronger. Weight loss would be great, but more than anything I want to feel good about myself. Today, for a second, when I realized I was taking care of myself by exercising, I realized that I am enough. Taking care of myself felt natural for the first time. I'm starting to find out what it means to love myself. It's like the sun slowly rising.
I love this! Keep up the good work. Start slow and don't be afraid to say that you are worth it and amazing. Say it in the mirror to yourself. You will eventually believe it.
Age 51 here. While a trainer is helpful and motivating, just be your own trainer. Learn proper form and then go from there. This is YOUR life, YOUR body, and YOUR story. Daily exercise will increase endorphins, but ultimately your self-worth is what will determine whether you make fitness a temporary thing or a lifestyle. Believe in yourself! You deserve this!
I for one am so tired of Oprah harping on about weight loss / gain! There is no shame to using weight lose products but just don't lie about using them and making out that your weight lose has been achieved in a natural way. Why is society obsessed with 'thin' and prompting the myth that 'thin' makes you happy. This is simply not true. We need honest and open conversation to our young children that they are perfect just as they are and we need to concentrate on being kind and fair and non-judgmental. What kind of society are we, that we are taking a drug that may cause Thyroid cancer, Pancreatitis and who know what else in the long term, just to be 'thin'. Being thin does not help us find 'self love', 'self love' is so much more than how we look. These two women are so self absorbed. I use to love Oprah but she is now in the most dangerous zone of all and that is that she has started to believe her own press and starting to act as if she is some kind of demi-God.
Exactly what I thought!
I joined WW in 2001. I have been lifetime since 2003. The program did work for me. I cancelled my membership last week. It no longer serves me. I truly think I’ve picked up a lot of unhealthy habits and some eating disorders from WW. Wishing you all the best but listen carefully to your own body.
I love her
Love her but I believe she should be honest if you used Ozempic or not.
