Oprah Winfrey shows off slimmer figure
Oprah Winfrey has never been one to shy away from speaking candidly and honestly about her struggles with her weight, but at a recent event the TV star let the photos do the talking.
Posing for photos at the launch of her new book “The Wisdom of Sundays”, the 63-year-old TV host looked noticeably trimmer in a blush pink ensemble with a glittering belt that accentuated her shrinking waist.

As any Oprah fan knows, the billionaire mogul’s weight has fluctuated throughout the years. She revealed in the 2009 issue of her magazine that she hit her heaviest weight of 108kg in 1992. In 2005, she revealed her slimmer figure of 73kg but by 2009, she had reached 90kg again when dealing with a thyroid problem. Oprah has previously credited Weight Watchers with helping her lose 18kgs.

Having always been very open to the public about her weight loss journey, Oprah said that the years of yo-yoing weight has taught her that her real problem isn’t with weight, but with self-care that has manifested itself through her weight.
"My goal isn't to be thin. My goal is for my body to be the weight it can hold — to be strong and healthy and fit, to be itself. My goal is to learn to embrace this body and to be grateful every day for what it has given me,” she said.
And it seems in 2017, after years of diets and weight gains and losses, Oprah has finally accepted her body.
