Yeah 185lbs is incredibly generous considering she’s 5’10” and morbidly obese.
hey steve, how teaching going 😉
And you’re morbidly stupid, but unlike body weight, that’s something you can’t change 🙂
That doesn’t even apply to what he said retard
you look like a beached whale
I want those rolls on me baby lizzo 😉
im fat deal with it
Lizzo? That’s is definitely not you, but if it is I’m totally with you. You all are so judgemental. No one has an hourglass body and if they do it’s full of plastic and silicone. Woman don’t need to change their bodies or anything. I’d rather have a real body instead of a fake one.
Yeah, Lizzo has a real body. A real fat one
That’s so rude some people have issues with weight and it can be difficult for them to lose it, others might be super skinny and nobody judges them for being skinny it’s just her body and her personality might be amazing she could be kind and really amazing and you just insulted her by saying that she is a powerful influence and she’s beautiful just the way she is.
I respect you so much! What you do is fight hypocrisy… Especially of those who comment and do not even know who they are.
So proud of you!! ❤️
Lizzo breaks toilets
Thats just rude.
“when she realized that she can’t change who she is and she should be okay with it.”
it’s called diet and exercise and it’s incredibly easy.
For some people she looked big all life its extremely hard for me to loose my stomach fat and ive played football weight lift run. The worx she might be big because of thyroid issues i think shes hot lol btw i weigh 208 5’8
for some people it’s not easy🗿
It’s not that easy Daquan me as a 160lbs female I find it very hard to loose weight and don’t judge people. There in there own skin and know what there doing so please leave her alone I know how hard it can be. So don’t body shame. PERIOD. And don’t ever ASUME stuff like that bc u ain’t no girl.
If you look at her ig stories she actually does exercise so…
she cannot be 5’10 on 210 lbs. One or the other is incorrect. Lol
140 kg or 308.5 lbs
I 💕 LIZZO’S SONG TRUTH HURTS § I ALSO 💕 LIZZO’S RAPPING
Her sexual orientation should be bisexual since she mentioned dating a man before.
you can be queer and have dated a man, queer is a broad term
I think you are furthering the promotion of crap body image by reporting that Lizzo is 5’10 and 200lbs. I love her and I am extremely body positive, but Lizzo is definitely more in the 300lbs range. 5″10 and 200lbs is probably about a size 14-16 where as Lizzo looks about a size 24-26 and there is nothing wrong with that. I just don’t understand why you would be reporting her at being so much less than she actually is.
Says 308.5lbs
she’s so fat and for what
that’s lowkey kinda rude. imagine calling someone fat, couldn’t be me. imagine being called fat how would you feel.
its not rude its the honest truth. She is morbidly obese and she will die if she doesn’t do anything aobut it.
Real rude. She is perfect in her own way.
@lauren she’s voluptuous and healthy. She is probably healthier than you . Why are people so negative about weight. She is confident in the woman she is Lauern Maybe you are low key hating .Bless up
Being fat is not okay… Obesity is a national health crisis and people die from it. Promoting obesity is like promoting suicide. Its a very dangerous thing to do
I’m shorter than her. Knowing my own weight, there’s no way she’s less than 325. I would guess closer to 350.
Maybe she has thyroid issue, I’m so tired of everyone stigmatizing overweight people without knowing the whole story. She confident and happy with who she is and that’s all that matters
I love Lizzo. She makes me super happy. I listen to her everyday.
stop saying she’s fat, she’s so perfect in every way ugh
shes so overwieght
sis i was 200 im middle school and i dont look NEAR her
Why are you such a fool
NO she is 308 POUNDS TO MUCH
She isn’t fat, she’s obese. Saying she’s obese won’t make her any skinnier. Obesity is a major health issue, and attention should be brought to it.
Do you think it smells like grease and mcdonalds at her concerts
Yes
love u lizzo
Lizzie is a bbw I wish she would get bigger say 450 or 500 lbs then she would be a ssbbw,super size big beautiful women!
Joe, go sit down
lizzo turn me on
YOOOOO she hella thicc
She probs eat a king donut a day.
She’s actually vegan
These comments 😂. Anyways….lizzo is bomb (no pun intended).
yall add me on snap @fshafau :))))))
She’s very talented. Who cares how much she weighs?!🙄🙄
I can’t believe you guys and some of the comments. I guess when you have kids it makes you more sensible and less likely to hurt someone like the comments above would most definitely crush a person. And for what?
She’s the one who would most definitely crush a person
Lizzo can eat me alive and still be hungry
Dont be rude shes her own self even if shes overweight doesent mean u make fun of here she pretty and your just being ugly. Im almost in middle school and im 100 but that isnt fat people may have issues so dont judge them
who cares how much lizzo weights. She pretty, talented, and guys don’t be b’s ok. because God made everyone differently it’s really rude to make fun of how someone looks 😒😒😒😔😔😑😑😤😤👎😡😐
Lizzo caused the toilet paper shortage
You don’t deserve to have kids
agreed. but it wouldnt hurt to go on a diet.
Love you lizzo😃♥♥💖
Man I didn’t know whales made music
Yeah, Ever seen The SpongeBob episode Ripped Pants in Season 1? S1 E2B?
Lizzo is way too heavy for her health. Her bio sez shez 140 kilos that 308 pounds. She has a pretty face but her body is awfull. I’d bet they banded her from all the chinese all you can eat places in minnasota.
lizzo is hella sexy, would love her beautiful body on me.
OMG! Did you see the DMs that Lizzo drunkenly sent? I guess Chris Evans was the person she was texting. I love Captain America’s silly response. I love those two.
I mean yea she’s overweight but its fine as long as it’s not a health problem and i understand it may be hard but what is she gonna say to her doctor that she’s okay with dying for trying to be herself.
lookk i found a good role model!!!!!!!
(of what not to be)
*queer* person
weirdo to the extreme
Why is everyone being so mean to her everybody’s body is different and being a little big doesn’t matter she still looks nice and she is probably a nice person
