Sharing her insight. In 2020, Rebel Wilson started a lifestyle change that helped her reach her goal weight — which she has used to try to inspire others.
The actress documented her fitness journey, which eventually led to her losing over 60 pounds by November 2020. Wilson revealed that she had reached her goal weight, which was 165 pounds. A source exclusively told Wilson Us WeeklyThe How to be single star was “so proud of her weight loss and her body transformation.”
“Rebel flew past her goal weight and continued to work out after hitting that magic number,” the insider detailed in February 2021 about her progress with the help of personal trainer Jono Castano. “Rebel didn’t only work out six days a week with Jono but would also do mini at-home workouts. Rebel clearly had a mission: to lose weight. She accomplished it. She feels stronger, more confident.”
Wilson later opened up about the moment when she decided to explore her “year of health.”
“It first started when I was looking into fertility stuff and the doctor was like, ‘Well, you’d have a much better chance if you were healthier,’” she shared during an Instagram Live video in July 2021. “That’s kind of what started it, that if I lost some excess weight that it would give me a better chance for freezing eggs and having the eggs be a better quality. … It wasn’t even really myself, it was more thinking of a future mini-me, really.”
One month later, the BridesmaidsStar reflected on how she lost weight after a personal struggle. “Okay so I know that I normally post flattering photos of myself … but found this old photo in my emails and was like: whoa!” she captioned a past photo of her with Novak Djokovic via Instagram in August 2021. “I remember this was when I was at my most unhealthiest – being overweight and indulging way too much with junk food. Using food to numb my emotions.”
Wilson recalled the moment when her relationship with her body changed following a tragedy. “My father had passed away of a heart attack and it was such a sad time. I didn’t think highly of myself and wasn’t valuing myself how I should have,” she noted. “It’s interesting that I’m still smiling and still trying to be active … despite being in so much pain.”
According to the Pitch PerfectStar, she received amazing feedback from her closest family members as she lost weight.
“I got a lot of pushback from my own team, actually, here in Hollywood, when I said, ‘OK, I’m going to do this ‘year of health.’ I feel like I’m really going to physically transform and change my life,’” she claimed during an interview on the BBC Breakfast morning show in December 2021. “And they were like, ‘Why? Why would you want to do that?’ Because I was earning millions of dollars being the funny fat girl and being that person.”
Wilson observed that Wilson was primarily focused on her view of herself. “I know what it’s like to be a woman who was essentially invisible to most people because of not being seen as traditionally, like, beautiful or whatever,” she said. “It’s crazy to try and fit that. [It’s]Better to be the healthiest version [of yourself].”
Wilson shared her excitement about a new chapter in her relationship life while she celebrated her wellness achievements. “I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince … but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess 💗🌈💗#loveislove,” she captioned an Instagram selfie of her and her girlfriend, Ramona AgrumaIn June 2022.
