Weeks before the 2024 Golden Globes, Oprah opened up about her weight loss in an interview with PEOPLE and confirmed she’s using medication to shed pounds.
“I’m absolutely done with the shaming from other people and, particularly, myself,” she said in December 13 interview. “I have been blamed and shamed, and I blamed and shamed myself. … The fact that there’s a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for,” she added.

“I know that if I’m not also working out and vigilant about all the other things, it doesn’t work for me,” Oprah also said about her weight loss journey. “After knee surgery, I started hiking and setting new distance goals each week. I could eventually hike three to five miles every day and a 10-mile straight-up hike on weekends. I felt stronger, more fit and more alive than I’d felt in years. … I eat my last meal at 4 o’clock, drink a gallon of water a day, and use the WeightWatchers principles of counting points. I had an awareness of [weight-loss] medications, but felt I had to prove I had the willpower to do it. I now no longer feel that way.”
