Weight Loss & Weight Gain

'Sports Illustrated' model and body-positivity activist Ella Halikas is disappointed in how bad the renewed trend to be thin has affected New York Fashion Week this year ... saying there is not enough representation at all.

Check the clip ... Ella says it’s honestly a little disappointing to see the lack of bodily variety, and she feels like each year when fashion week rolls around, it gets worse and worse ... especially with the direction of thinner being “in."

We spoke with the stunning swimwear model outside the NYFW show she was attending ... and in light of the recent Ozempic craze, she tells us it's seriously impacted the fashion industry.

Lizzo says "Truth Hurts" ... but, in this case it certainly shouldn't for her -- 'cause the truth is she looked fantastic at a New York Fashion Week event Friday night!

cThe singer-songwriter hit up the Christian Siriano fashion show in the Big Apple ... flaunting her recent weight loss in a brown corset top and tight black skirt -- and, kicking up her leg with a huge grin on her face.

Her hair is a dark red here ... parted on either side of her face and cascading down to her waist while she smizes for the cameras.

Candace Cameron Bure is hitting back at online trolls ... by hitting delete.

The "Full House" star yanked a swimsuit snap from her Instagram after the comments spiraled into body shaming, later explaining on Instagram Stories that while the one piece shot was meant to capture her soaking up the last of summer, the backlash quickly soured the vibe.

"It wasn't about the suit or my body," she said, "but the comments turned into endless chatter about my body. It wasn’t worth it, so I took it down."

Renee Graziano is telling people to back off Serena Williams and any other star who's used weight-loss drugs ... telling the haters to go see their doctors if they're jealous of others.

We caught up with "Mob Wives" star at the "Run" movie premiere at AMC Magic Johnson theater in Harlem earlier this week ... and, we talked to her about dropping nearly 60 pounds with Mounjaro -- a drug originally meant for diabetic patients, much like Ozempic, which many rich and famous folks are using to lose weight.

Graziano's very clear about how much real estate her detractors are taking up in her head ... and, the answer is absolutely none.

Meghan Trainor showed up dripping in glam at an L.A. premiere Wednesday night -- and hun, she worked those angles like a pro runway model on overtime!

The singer went full showstopper in a dangerously plunging black top flaunting that January breast augmentation ... teaming it with tiny white shorts, turning heads at "The Paper" premiere.

Meghan topped it off with an old Hollywood updo and killer heels, posing like she owned the red carpet and serving pure body-confidence vibes.

Serena Williams is pushing weight loss medication ... and now Jameela Jamil is bashing the women's tennis legend for becoming the face of GLP-1 drugs.

The actress/model just unloaded on Serena in a long social media rant ... warning folks against the side effects of so-called miracle weight loss drugs.

Jameela says these medications, including Ozempic, "come at a price" ... and she says a quick scan of websites for the medications reveal a laundry list of side effects ... including paralysis of the gastric system, pancreatitis, cancer, hair loss, osteoporosis, severe malnutrition, muscle mass loss, depression, thyroid issues, blindness and metabolism issues.

Patrick House -- the winner of "The Biggest Loser" Season 10 -- says he thinks the documentary wasn't completely fair to Jillian Michaels ... and, he's got nothing but wonderful things to say about the reality competition.

We caught up with the former reality star in light of the controversial Netflix documentary "Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser" ... and, he says he declined to interview because he didn't know how the show would be painted.

House credits 'TBL' for saving his life ... admitting he was told he was a ticking time bomb when he joined the show -- and, now he's got kids, a wife and a whole new lease on life.

"The Biggest Loser" caffeine feud just got piping hot -- 'cause TMZ scored a peek at the show’s grocery list for contestants ... and surprise, surprise, it’s stacked with caffeinated goodies!

Check the receipts from 2013 -- the list, which we obtained from Jillian Michaels, straight-up name-drops Organic Dark Roast, Starbucks grounds, and a bunch of different teas. The shopping list of "approved foods" for contestants was attached to an email that a show line producer sent to the trainers and other staffers.

Obviously, several of those items totally undercut Dr. Robert Huizenga’s claim to us the show was 100% caffeine-free from day one ... with coffee, diuretics, and weight-loss pills supposedly off-limits.

Jillian Michaels didn't get along with every contestant on "The Biggest Loser" ... but, that doesn't mean she was handing out caffeine pills like a new documentary suggests -- so says one of the OG Losers.

We spoke with David Fioravanti -- a contestant from the first season of the show -- and, he details his contentious relationship with the fitness trainer and former coach on the show.

Fioravanti says he came into the show with a basic level of fitness knowledge ... so, he didn't follow everything Michaels said without question.

Dr. Robert Huizenga isn’t about to let Jillian Michaels dominate the narrative -- he's firing back after she ripped him over Netflix's "The Biggest Loser" documentary ... telling TMZ her "receipts" don’t prove a thing.

Huizenga tells TMZ ... caffeine, weight-loss pills and diuretics were strictly banned from day one -- and anytime contestants claimed they were given such pills, he ordered production to shut down and launch an investigation.

He also points to the time Jillian had to give an on-air apology after being busted handing out pills to contestants to plug her own products -- saying that alone proves her caffeine claims are running on fumes.

Austin Butler is stripping it down -- chiseled, shirtless, and smoldering for a brooding magazine shoot ... while revealing the punishing breakdowns that nearly broke him before this glow-up.

Feast your eyes on these hunky shots -- the actor flexes hard on the cover of Men’s Health, flashing a body carved like marble and proving he’s in peak condition.

The pics speak for themselves -- Butler’s looking damn good. But he admits in the interview, he dragged his body through extremes -- from pounding doughnuts and drinking ice cream for 'Elvis' … to punishing workouts and restrictive dieting for "Dune: Part Two."

Jade Thirwall says she feels the appeal toward Ozempic ... and, her past eating disorder makes it a fight not to use the drug.

The singer got real about her struggles with weight loss in an interview published Saturday by The Guardian ... and, she said it's a "daily battle" to keep herself from indulging on Ozempic. .

Thirwall says, "I don’t judge people that do, but because I have a history of eating disorders, I don’t know where taking something like that would end for me.”

Lil Jon adopted meditation and wellness a couple years ago, and those results have been paying off in the gym ... let's just say, he's not so little anymore!!!

The veteran hitmaker posted a video of himself completely melting the iron in the gym on Thursday, showing off a muscular and slimmed-down physique.

Jon tells TMZ Hip Hop ... “My diet is high protein, low carbs, spring water, no sugar, and no processed foods. I've been hittin’ the gym 3-4 days a week for 2 years now."

If there’s one thing Lizzo’s strutting with pride, it’s her weight loss -- and she’s spilling the tea on how the journey has totally flipped her perspective on body positivity.

The singer got real with Women's Health ... saying she's still rocking plus-size clothes with the same belly, rolls, and thighs, she’s just a smaller version of herself -- and she’s owning it!

Lizzo breaks it down, saying the body positivity movement isn’t about staying the same -- it’s about the radical act of daring to exist loudly in a world that keeps telling you you shouldn’t.

Any talk about Serena Williams' body transformation is going in one ear and out the other ... 'cause the tennis legend tells TMZ Sports she's feeling like a million bucks!!

Williams, 43, has been sharing photos of her new slimmed-down physique on social media over the past few months ... which sparked plenty of reactions -- both positive and negative.

Williams doesn't seem to care one bit either way ... as she brushed off the critics outside Hotel Fouquet in New York City this week.

Luka Doncic has turned plenty of heads this offseason thanks to his noticeably leaner frame ... and it's now gotten to the point where he's being asked if he's using Ozempic.

The 26-year-old joined "Today" on Wednesday morning to discuss a number of topics ... and when the conversation shifted to his fitness, Craig Melvin surprised viewers by asking, "No Ozempic, none of those shots or anything?"

Doncic quickly shut it down ... saying his new look was the result of diet and exercise. He even revealed he took a full month off from basketball to focus solely on fitness, something he's never done before.
