Oprah Winfrey was spotted leaving a gym session over the weekend in Santa Barbara.
The 71-year-old media mogul Oprah Winfrey who showed off her cinched waist last month — was clad in a white T-shirt, zip-up gray hoodie, and black leggings.
Oprah Winfrey added a pair of white sneakers and her rich, chocolate-brown locks were pushed back with a black headband.
The former talk show host wore a pair of round eyeglasses and toted a large blue water bottle as she headed to her vehicle.
Additionally, Winfrey carried a brown leather pouch while out and about as she continued to flaunt her dramatic weight loss.
She previously confessed to using Ozempic as ‘a tool’ to manage her weight.
In late 2023, the Mississippi-born superstar revealed how she shed pounds by making a lifestyle change.
‘It’s not one thing, it’s everything. I intend to keep it that way,’ she told Entertainment Tonight at the time.
Oprah Winfrey previously insisted that she had not turned to weight loss drugs. She opened up about body image while speaking at a panel in New York City for Oprah Daily’s The Life You Want series in September 2023.
‘I don’t know that there is another public person whose weight struggles have been exploited as much as mine,’ she reflected during a conversation with Weight Watchers CEO Sima Sistani, psychologist Rachel Goldman, and obesity specialists Fatima Cody Stanford and Melanie Jay.
She noted she once thought, ‘I felt I’ve got to do this on my own because if I take the drug, that’s the easy way out.’
Shortly after the panel, the Color Purple star confessed about using GLP-1 medication, ‘I now use it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing.’
‘It quiets the food noise,’ she revealed to People in December 2023.
Winfrey will open up about her lifelong struggle with her weight in the forthcoming book Enough: Your Health, Your Weight, and What It’s Like to Be Free, written by Dr. Ania Jastreboff, MD, PhD.
Last week she teased on Instagram, ‘Throughout the pages of this book, I’ll be sharing my personal experiences with weight and the lifelong struggle I carried until I learned it’s not about willpower, it’s about biology and your brain.’
The multihyphenate is getting ready to embark on a speaking engagement tour in Australia and New Zealand.
She initially announced the endeavor on social media in late August, posting on Instagram, ‘Can’t wait to be back in Australia and New Zealand for the first time in 10 years! Bring your friends, cousins, siblings—everybody! Link in bio for tickets on @tegdainty.’
The first event will be held in Sydney on December 4, and the final one will take place in Auckland on December 14.
