"Time for new goals!" the singer added, hinting at her plans to lose more weight.
The post featured Lizzo in a two-piece workout outfit along with a message that read, "Congratulations! You've met your weight goals."

Fans Praise The Singer For Her Dedication To Her Weight Loss Journey
In the comment section of her post, Lizzo's followers were full of praise, noting how encouraging it has been to see the singer put in the work to achieve the results.
A person said, "You look great! And you didn't cheat to get there. The process is the best part."
Another individual noted, "Way to go, Lizzo. Congratulations, and to hell with all the haters," along with several heart and fire emojis.
"Congratulations Lizzo... keep being happy and healthy... regardless," a third person noted.
However, despite the show of support, some fans were disappointed, claiming that Lizzo had become another "diet influencer."
One person wrote, "It's really sad to see someone who helped me so much with my body image throughout my ed recovery now just be another influencer of diet culture. But I guess that's what American culture is all about huh, can't really blame you."
The person added, "This is where I hop off the bandwagon [though], sis; take care."
Lizzo Says She Won't Be Considered 'Thin' By The End Of Her Weight Loss Journey
Over on TikTok, Lizzo continued the celebration, speaking more about her journey to losing weight and how far she intends to go.
"I am actually on an intentional weight loss journey right now," Lizzo noted. "Even at the end of my weight loss journey, I'm not going to be considered thin by any means."
She continued, "I will still be considered morbidly obese on the BMI, and little bros on the internet are still going to call me 'big backed.' But I will be happy."
The singer added, "Let this be a reminder that you can do anything—anything you set your mind to. Now, I guess it's time to set new goals."
Lizzo Says Losing Weight Is The 'Slowest Thing In The World' For People Who Are Taking The 'Natural' Route
In a March 2024 interview with the New York Times, Lizzo emphasized that her weight loss has been intentional and gradual.
The singer explained, "I've been methodical, losing weight very slowly."
She added that natural weight loss takes time and isn't immediately noticeable: "I don't really see it because if anyone who's on a natural weight-loss journey knows, losing weight is actually the slowest thing in the world and you don't really notice it until you notice it."
Addressing the constant focus on her appearance, Lizzo firmly stated, "My body is nobody's business."

Since beginning her weight loss journey, Lizzo has faced rumors she uses diabetes drugs like Ozempic to slim down.
In September 2024, she playfully addressed the chatter, shutting down the allegations with a humorous TikTok post.
Lizzo captioned a video post of herself in a robe: "When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit."
The singer also responded to a fan accusing her of using the drug by commenting, "Whyyy do [you] follow me?"
In another post, she poked fun at the speculation with a caption that read: "Ozempic or coke?' - a fan."
In October, Lizzo took a playful jab at the ongoing weight loss speculation with her clever Ozempic-inspired Halloween costume.
She transformed into "LizzOzempic" by donning a sparkly, bedazzled replica of the weight loss drug, complete with a tape measure around her waist.
