Wearing tight leggings, Oprah Winfrey displays her «miracle drug» makeover
She had already declared she would not take Ozempic or related treatments, thus her admission to taking weight-loss drugs stunned her followers late last year.
And when Oprah Winfrey was sighted out and about in Santa Barbara, California, on Tuesday with her 68-year-old friend Maria Shriver, she demonstrated the amazing progress she has since achieved on her weight-loss journey.
The 70-year-old talk show icon showed off an incredibly athletic figure dressed in sportswear as they seemed to arrive at a gym for a group workout.
Oprah fiercely defended utilizing weight-loss aids and chastised individuals who attempted to’shame’ them earlier this year, despite her initial denial about using the medications.
The two TV fixtures were dropped by a commercial building project after exerting themselves.
For almost fifteen minutes, Oprah and Maria were spotted entering the still-under-construction structure, albeit it was unclear how they were related to it.
During their brief visit, they also seemed to talk with some of the contractors working on the property.
After their tour of the property, Maria took Oprah on a drive in her green Range Rover to a nearby coffee shop, where they purchased some drinks.
They seemed to drive back to Oprah’s Montecito estate, which is located slightly over 90 miles northwest of Downtown Los Angeles, to round up their day trip.
Wearing a long-sleeve sweater that hung loosely around her, Oprah looked slender.
Wearing burgundy Adidas Ultraboost trainers from Beyoncé’s Ivy Park collection, she contrasted the lighter green leggings with a cropped pair that had an elevated design.
The book club influencer had her long, dark hair falling in thick waves over her shoulders and parted in the middle.
Oprah previously appeared in public earlier this month when she went to the Sun Valley Summit in Idaho with her lifelong friend Gayle King.
Maria wore stylish black leggings and a white graphic T-shirt in a similarly laid-back ensemble.
Wearing black, white, and gray New Balance sneakers, she stayed comfy. Her arms were stuffed with a powder blue purse, a royal blue jacket, and a big water bottle.
The conference, dubbed’summer camp for billionaires,’ tries to give its CEO and tech guru guests more privacy by keeping the topic and agenda of each year as secret as possible.
Oprah recently shed about 40 pounds with the help of prescription weight-loss medications and consistent exercise.
She took aim at those who stigmatize those who use weight-loss medications in the TV documentary An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame, and the Weight Loss Revolution, which was released earlier this year.
Oprah has shared details of some of the more horrific setbacks she experienced throughout her decades-long weight-loss battle after disclosing that she used Ozempic.
The Beloved actress talked about her first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, an episode that was guest hosted by the late comic Joan Rivers, earlier this month during an appearance on The Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast.
«Joan Rivers shamed me on The Tonight Show.» «I made my debut on The Tonight Show,» she revealed.
She reported that Rivers had turned to her from behind the host’s desk, asking, «Tell me, why are you so fat?» on national television before passing away in 2014 following an attempted elective surgery gone wrong.
Oprah went on, «And I don’t know what to do with that.» It’s like, «Well, I just love potato chips, Joan.» She says, «No, really! Disgrace to you! Disgrace to you!»
She went on to talk about how Rivers made fun of her for perhaps getting asked back to appear on the show.
«If you drop fifteen pounds, I’ll let you come back.» She remembered Rivers remarking, «You need to lose 15 pounds. She says to me on national television.» However, the comedian probably had no influence over guests when Carson returned to his normal hosting duties.

«If you drop fifteen pounds, I’ll let you come back.» You must shed fifteen pounds.»
She remembered Rivers making fun of her, saying, «She says to me on national television,» though it’s unlikely that the comedian had any influence over the guests when Carson returned to his usual hosting role.
«And I gave in.» «I acknowledge that I ought to be embarrassed because I’m sitting up here on The Tonight Show—how dare me,» she went on.
Oprah claimed she ‘had agreed that I was going to go away and lose 15 pounds,’ but in the end, she put on weight.
Naturally, I didn’t drop the fifteen pounds. «I went and ate my way to gain an additional ten pounds,» she said.
During the same interview, Winfrey talked about how she was afraid her weight would make her audition for a part in The Color Purple a disaster.
She added that at the time, the «health retreat» she checked into to help her lose weight was called a «fat farm,» but she checked into it still after not getting a response.
While there, Winfrey said she made an effort to let go of her desire to play the lead in the movie and tried to accept that her weight had cost her the part.
«I continued to cry and pray, and just as I was starting to feel relief, a woman runs out and says, «There’s a phone call for you.» Steven Spielberg calling and said, «I hear you’re at a fat farm.» If you shed a pound, this portion might come off.»
«The most valuable life lesson I have ever learned was that it happened as soon as I knew I would let it go.»
«I used that as my foundational education for the remainder of my life and profession,» she revealed. «Let it go after you’ve done everything you can and worked as hard as you can.»
In the end, Winfrey was cast as Sofia in The Color Purple, and she was nominated for an Oscar for the part.
However, Steven Spielberg, the producer of The Color Purple, called her later.
