Chrissy Metz shares update on weight-loss journey using GLP-1 medication

Actress Chrissy Metz posted an Instagram story showing a flexed arm and said she is making progress after starting a GLP-1 treatment.

The “This Is Us” star posted an Instagram Story on Monday, flexing her arm and noting that she is seeing improvement in her strength-training routine. She referenced a recent GLP-1 journey, saying the medication helps her stop obsessing over food while still enjoying meals. Metz partnered with Ro, a direct-to-patient digital health company that supplies GLP-1 drugs, but did not disclose which product she uses or when she began treatment.

She reiterated that decisions about body management are personal and urged people to avoid stigmatizing such choices. Metz also mentioned her perimenopausal stage and a family history of obesity, underscoring why she pursued this option. Critics, she said, are not part of her life or medical record.
