Meghan Trainor is opening up about her weight loss journey.
Earlier this year, 31-year-old “Made You Look” singer revealed she began taking the GLP-1 medication Mounjaro after welcoming her second child with husband Daryl Sabara. Alongside the medication, she’s worked with a dietician, trainer, and committed to lifestyle changes. She has since lost 60lbs.
In a new interview, Meghan revealed that a health scare led to her weight loss journey.

I’ve got to be at my strongest if I want to lift up my kids from their crib and not pull out my back.’”
Meghan shares sons Riley, 4, and Barry, 2, with the 33-year-old Spy Kids actor.
These days, Meghan is “obsessed” with wellness, and often monitors her hormone levels and gut health.
“I just want to feel good because this job is hard to do if you don’t feel good,” she explained.
Meghan also addressed the criticism she has faced because of her weight loss.
“I got a lot of hate for being thinner,” Meghan said, admitting that she was “rattled” by the backlash.
“It’s weird—I’m finally so proud of myself and starting to love myself, and I’ve never gotten more hate,” she continued. “I was confused, lost, really sad and heartbroken that I took care of myself but everyone’s angry.”
Meghan added, “Everyone was like, ‘Why are you thin now? You’re ‘All About the Bass’ girl.’ I was 19 when I came out with that song and I’ve been on a fitness journey since.”
As for how she blocks out the haters, Meghan said that she’s been leaning on her support system.
“My therapist is like, ‘You give these strangers so much power,’” Meghan shared, revealing she once cried in bed over a negative comment she read about an outfit she wore.
“I hate it when she says that because I was like, ‘Ew! I don’t want to give strangers power. I want to have my own power and not care,’” she added.
