The When I Talk to God, I Talk About Feelings author lost weight by choosing a workout she enjoyed participating in: Weight lifting.
“I have always enjoyed strength training. I’ve always enjoyed lifting weights, like I don’t want to run unless I’m being chased,” Chrissy told The Daily Mail in April 2025 before explaining her relationship with her Nashville-based personal trainer.

During Chrissy’s April 2025 interview with The Daily Mail, she addressed speculation that she turned to surgery and medication to achieve her weight loss results.
“But I also think it’s people’s personal decision to decide what it is that they want to do for their body. I think ultimately, at the end of the day, we all just want to feel good and feel good about ourselves,” Chrissy told the publication at the time. “I think if you’re not hurting anybody, and you’re not hurting yourself, you should do what you feel is right for your body or your mind or whatever.”
Meanwhile, the Breakthrough star revealed she would “never” undergo a weight loss procedure.
“I don’t even take Tylenol, like, I really am such a weirdo that way. I’m like, ‘Yeah, no,’” she said. “It wouldn’t take with me. I could eat past it. With anything, it’s a lifestyle change. I mean whatever is best for the person, but, like, also for me, with like a bariatric surgery, so much of my food issues, personally, are psychological in that like, yes, you could sort of put a band-aid on the problem. But like, What’s the bigger issue? There’s a bigger issue for me.”
Why Did Chrissy Metz Lose Weight?
Chrissy dove headfirst into her weight loss journey while trying to avoid health complications that come with aging while being classified as obese. Ultimately, she wants to be “strong” and “age the best way [she] can.”
“I’m literally doing it because I am nervous about aging, about osteoporosis or arthritis, you know, and because they are now discovering so much about health overall [and] it’s really about being and staying strong and flexible,” the Emmy-nominated actress told The Daily Mail.
Back in 2016, Chrissy explained how she needed to lose weight as a stipulation in her contract while starring on This Is Us. While the starlet was on board about improving her lifestyle, she made it very clear she wasn’t interested in losing weight for aesthetic purposes.
“That was a win-win for me. Because it’s one thing to try to do it on your own. But as human beings, it’s an ego thing: We’re more likely to do something for someone else,” she told TVLine at the time. “I just have to be very clear. Whether or not I lose weight or stay the same, it’s purely a choice of mine for health. Not because I think that plus-size, curvy, voluptuous, big bodies aren’t attractive — because I think they’re awesome and sexy.”
