Chrissy Metz flaunted her 100-pound weight loss as she gushed about the “super helpful” side effects of using a GLP-1.

The “This Is Us” alum stunned in a green velvet gown at the “Nocturne” premiere over the weekend and shared how much using a weight-loss drug has helped her as she makes her Broadway debut in “& Juliet.”

“I think, honestly, being able to run around a stage eight shows a week was like really, really amazing,” she told ET on the carpet, noting that the GLP-1 has “really minimized” her inflammation.

“I’m perimenopausal, I got knee issues, there’s things going on,” Metz continued. “Just the mental capacity to have other things to think about than obsessing about the food noise, that’s been super, super helpful. It’s been great.”

Back in August, the “Breakthrough” actress gave a candid “progress report” about her GLP-1 journey.

“Look at him,” the 45-year-old said while showing off her bicep on her Instagram Story. “You know, I love all my blips and blops and my flips and flops, but she’s making progress on the strength training journey.”

Metz continued, “She’s making progress. We like progress. That’s my progress report.”

That same month, the Emmy nominee revealed she’s taking a GLP-1 after losing 100 pounds last year.

Metz told People she finally came to the decision after years of ineffective diets and called her experience with the medication “great” after having been skeptical.

“It’s so nice not to be obsessing about what I’m going to have every minute, even as I’m still consuming the meal,” she explained.

“I just vilified food for so long because I was taught that it was bad, and you shouldn’t eat this or that.”

In April 2025, Metz told the Daily Mail she had lost 100 pounds thanks to strength training. When asked if she would ever try Ozempic, she gave a diplomatic answer.

“It’s something I feel like, it is so personal, and sure, I think it’s important to like destigmatize anything,” she said.

“But I also think it’s people’s personal decision to decide what it is that they want to do for their body.”

“I think ultimately, at the end of the day, we all just want to feel good and feel good about ourselves,” she added.
