Oprah Winfrey has revealed she gained 20 pounds after discontinuing her weight loss medication. The 72-year-old broadcaster shared the update during an appearance on The Today Show on Tuesday, 13 January.
Winfrey, who has been open about her lifelong struggle with weight, said she decided to stop taking the medication to “test it out.” She explained, “Because everybody was saying, ‘you're going to gain weight’.... I'm going to show them.. I'm going to hike.”
However, the weight began to return, and Winfrey noted that her “food noise” also came back. She first started taking an undisclosed GLP-1 medication in 2023.
