Chrissy Metz is channeling all the spring vibes amid her weight loss transformation.
The This Is Us alum, 44, flaunted her slimmer figure in a short-sleeved, pastel yellow, blue and pink dress with a ruffled trim at Variety’s Power of Women event on May 1. Chrissy’s dress hit below her knees, showing off a sliver of her legs above her chic white cowboy boots. She completed the ensemble with soft glam, her hair styled in loose waves and a pearl and silver chain necklace.
Chrissy’s outing came one month after she revealed to The Daily Mail that she had lost 100 pounds and shared her weight loss secrets.
“I have always enjoyed strength training. I’ve always enjoyed lifting weights, like I don’t want to run unless I’m being chased,” she told the outlet while promoting her second children’s book, When I Talk to God, I Talk About Feelings. “[My trainer and I] have things in common where it’s not just like, ‘Why are you doing this?’ Like, I don’t want to be yelled at. I want to be lovingly supported in whatever it is that I’m doing.’”
Chrissy told the publication that she made the changes to her health due to fears about “aging, osteoporosis or arthritis.” Now, she is “discovering so much about health overall, [and] it’s really about being and staying strong and flexible.”
Though the American Horror Story actress did not address whether or not she personally used a weight loss aid like Ozempic, she said that she didn’t judge anyone who took the drug.

“It’s something I feel like, it is so personal and sure, I think it’s important to, like, destigmatize anything,” Chrissy explained. “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. 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.”
Chrissy also said she would “never” get bariatric surgery because she wouldn’t be a good candidate for it.
“It wouldn’t take with me. I could eat past it,” she explained. “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.”
Chrissy revealed in her 2018 memoir, This Is Me, that childhood trauma led her to develop food issues from a young age, and she began attending Weight Watchers meetings when she was just 11 years old. Additionally, she recalled being 8 years old when, after her parents’ divorce, her mother remarried a man whom she nicknamed “Trigger.”
“My body seemed to offend him, but he couldn’t help but stare, especially when I was eating,” Chrissy wrote of her stepdad, noting that he forced her to do weigh-ins. “He joked about putting a lock on the refrigerator.”
Chrissy also opened up about her experience on “The Jamie Kern Lima Show” podcast in October 2024, explaining, “There’s so much stigma about weight. There’s this idea that you can’t put the food down or you’re lazy. I’m trying to heal those wounds slowly but surely.”
