Chrissy Metz, best known for playing Kate on the hit show This Is Us, has become a powerful voice for body positivity and perseverance. Like her on-screen character, Chrissy has faced lifelong struggles with weight and self-image. She recalls joining Weight Watchers at just 11 years old, and over the years, her weight went up and down—especially during tough times in her acting career.
At one point, Chrissy gained 100 pounds while battling depression and a lack of opportunities. But after a serious panic attack served as a wake-up call, she decided to take control of her health.
With determination and a simple, consistent routine—sticking to a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet and walking for 20 minutes daily—Chrissy started seeing real results. Today, she’s not just celebrated for her talent, but also for her honesty and resilience in the face of personal challenges.
