Personal Trainer
Rebel is continually trying to shed off pounds from her body. She lost 33 pounds of body weight in 2012 as per DailyMail.
In 2020, she had lost 40 pounds of weight. Rebel told People magazine that she was perhaps consuming 3,000 calories daily before the weight loss and they were mostly carbohydrates. Hence, she used to feel hungry most of the time.
In order to lose 40 lbs, she reduced her calorie-intake and made a switch from carbs to a protein-rich diet. Her protein sources included animal protein such as fish, salmon, and chicken breast. She also had protein-shakes. Rebel had eaten just under 1,500 calories each day to lose weight. After she had hit her 165 lbs of goal weight by November 2020, she increased her calorie-intake to 2000-2500 calories to maintain the lost weight as she was also working out like a beast. In terms of workout, majorly, she relied on walking to lose weight. She was able to finally lose over 60 pounds of weight.

Sorry you guys are totally wrong. She weighs closer to 300lbs not 214lb.
you should read the stats on this page before you go posting anything. Rebel Wilson is awesome in her own way. Let’s not focus on her weight. let’s focus on her awesomeness.
Agreed. I just adore her acting. She is also highly intelligent. Rebel does exercise. But I think she is gorgeous.
Rebel Wilson looks really good to me. it doesn’t matter how much she weights. I still think rebel Wilson look very pretty I absolutely loved her character in Pitch perfect.
I believe she’s getting work now because she’s not in competition with the skinny blondes however, if she loses the weight her opportunities will be lost too just like Jennifer Hudson.
Those measurements have to be completely off…I am around 240 pounds and my measurements are 48-40-50 and my sister who weighs around 130 , her measurements are 38-30-40, so? Her measurements as 39-43-38 seems a bit unrealistic to me? And also her dress size?? That is, if they have her weight accurate on here.
I love Rebel but I agree with this person – the measurements / weight ratio seems to be wayyyyyyyy off.
I’m 5’4 38-35-45, weigh 198 lbs and am a size 14 but mostly 16 (US)
I’ve lost weight. I was 223 lbs, 40-38-52 and about a size 20/22
Please ensure you get the measurements right. It’s just proper fact checking.
It seems weird that her bra is only 36 because I’m 5′ 6″ and 135 pounds and I’m a 36b and my waist is 28.
I’m 5’6 and 133 too! I was always a lot easier and taller than my friends by like 5 inches and 30lb ?
And I thought my weight, 108 pounds was too heavy……
Not hating, I think rebel is beautiful <3
And I thought my weight, 108 pounds was heavy…..
Not hating, Rebel is beautiful
5’3 291 pounds, really? I’ve seen some exaggerations in my time but this is something else. I am 5’8 and 286 pounds and I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy bigger than her. I suggest you change the weight. I reckon she’s something around 235 pounds MAX.
No, she’s no where near 5’3 and 235 lbs. She’s way bigger than me and I’m also 5’3, but I’m 249. I think they got the weight right but the size is WAY off
She is very beautiful by the way.
I am 5’5″, 100 lb and my hips are 37 and hers 38?! 😀
I think the bra measurements might be off or maybe not. But I find odd that she is 36 band when the other measurements say it’s a 39. I’d say she’s maybe a 38….I am too
Why doesn’t she fake an American accent in most of her roles? She’s Australian, right?
I’m really glad Rebel is honest about her weight, so many women aren’t. Her size in the US is wrong though. There’s no way a woman who weighs 291 lbs wears a size 20.. more like a 28. Hopefully she can lose enough weight so her health isn’t in danger anymore. Just a 100 lbs would help her even though she wouldn’t be even remotely thin
No, that sounds right. When I was 290, I was a 22/24.
Rebel was originally Melanie Bownds if you read the latest sydney newspapers. She changed her name by deed poll
She is very pretty but I don’t think she weighs that much. I’m 5’3 and 102 lbs.
You cannot estimate weight and measurements based on pictures. There are countless other factors including body composition and body frame to factor in. We compare ourselves a lot which is unfair to everyone.
291 llbs is a stretch. Tess Holliday is about the same height, 280 llbs and much fatter. Change it to 250
Poor Rebel as long as she’s happy, funny and carries on being brilliant who gives a monkes what size she is. As long as her health is checked out let her be.
I’m glad she doesn’t as she is acting as herself. Besides they like the fact that she is Australian just like Olivia Newton John played herself as an Australian in Grease!
