Amy Schumer is using social media to celebrate her health.
On Thursday, Feb. 3, the 44-year-old actress posted a series of pictures on Instagram after doing a recent photoshoot. In the caption she addressed her increased social media presence and admitted that it’s due to her feeling “strong and beautiful” following the success of her health and weight-loss journey.
“Pics of yourself when you’re finally feeling strong and beautiful are not a cry for help,” she wrote. “They are a celebration of life and health. Love to the single moms out there.”
Schumer has been sharing a lot of photos recently showing off her new figure after losing weight.
On Jan. 4, the I Feel Pretty star posted images of her modeling bikinis and other swimwear, sharing that she wasn’t wearing any makeup when the photos were taken and chose to post them without any filters.

“My mom took these photos of me while I was packing for a trip,” she captioned the post. “And the last photo I’m on the trip. This year is about self-care and self-love.”
“Let’s all appreciate our health, our families, our friends, and have the best year of our lives,” she added. “Moving forward with no regrets. Just love." The star then added a series of hashtags, including "#perimenopause @midihealth and #csection.”
Back in December 2025, Schumer shared that she lost 50 lbs., but it wasn’t for vanity purposes.
"Not to look hot which does feel fun and temporary," she wrote. "I did it to survive."

"I had a disease that makes your face extremely puffy that can kill you, but the internet caught it, and the disease has cleared," she wrote seemingly in reference to her Cushing syndrome diagnosis.
Cushing syndrome is a condition where the body has too much cortisol (the primary stress hormone), according to the Mayo Clinic. In addition to developing a rounder face from weight gain, some of the other symptoms include weight gain in the trunk, high blood pressure and increased stretch marks.
"Sorry for whatever feeling it's giving you that I lost that weight," Schumer continued. The Trainwreck star reiterated that she's had plastic surgery "over the years" and uses Mounjaro. "Sorry to anyone that let down."
But the actress said she's now "pain free" and "can [play] tag" with her son Gene, 6.
