  • Rebel Wilson revealed in an Instagram post that she gained 3 kg while on vacation at an all-inclusive resort.

  • The actress admitted that she’s okay with the weight fluctuations, and she can continue with her wellness journey and love herself.

  • The 42-year-old has lost 75 lbs since 2020.


Actress Rebel Wilson has been vocal about her two-year 75 lb weight loss journey. In a recent Instagram post, the 42-year-old opened up even more, this time revealing that while she gave herself the freedom to enjoy a long vacation, she ultimately gained 3 kg (about 6.5 lbs). But, the Senior Year star admits that weight fluctuations are totally okay, and self-love and balance are key to a healthy body image.

“I just noticed I put on 3 kgs on my holiday. I’m at an amazing all-inclusive resort…I’ve lost all self-control,” the star wrote on her Instagram post. “But, you know what? I can get up tomorrow, and go to the gym, and hydrate, and eat healthy, and love myself.”

In the photo, Wilson posed in a one-shoulder pink bathing suit with a white wrap around her waist, her hair tied up in a beachy bun, and reflective sunglasses on. Based on additional Instagram photos, the actress was likely posting from the Kaya Palazzo Golf Resort in Belek, Turkey.

She continued, “It doesn’t help to be hard on yourself, but I know what it’s like to feel guilty and not great after eating too much. But if you’re like me, just know YOU are more than just your weight. Your weight doesn’t define you. Just try your best to be healthy and don’t be so hard on yourself. Be the best version of you.”

Friends and fans commented on the photo, leaving encouragement and love for Wilson. Actress Octavia Spencer posted multiple fire emojis, actress Montana Brown commented, “You look amazing,” and Australian fashion journalist Laura Brown added, “What do they say, happiness is the best look of all?”

The Pitch Perfect actress recently took off on a whirlwind vacation with her girlfriend Ramona Agruma that included Instagram posts of the pair walking hand in hand on the cobblestone streets of Italy and solo photos of Wilson floating in a pool at Midnight in Iceland, cruising on a boat in Corsica, France, and hiking and exploring in Turkey.

Over the last two years, Wilson has been open about focusing on her health, which ultimately led to her losing 75 lbs. The actress has offered insight into her “year of health” journey on the Apple Fitness+ Time to Walk season three premiere and revealed she kickstarted her weight loss by walking daily.

“My goal was to get healthier and lose the bodyweight I didn’t want,” she said in the episode. “I knew deep down that I wasn’t the healthiest version of myself because of work commitments.” She added that she was going through “some fertility stuff. And the doctor said if I did get healthy, then that would be a lot better for me.” The Australian actress revealed she suffers from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which “made it harder than an average person would have to lose weight.”

But her weight loss journey didn’t end there. The actress worked with a trainer who helped her stay motivated, used early morning workouts to get her movement done, and included some high-intensity interval training and weights in her workout routine (she even crushed a tire flipping workout).

In addition to exercise, Wilson changed up her diet to achieve her weight loss transformation. She decided to increase her water intake, limit sugar and junk food, and follow a high-protein diet of vegan protein smoothies, chicken breast, and salmon. She also has said she follows the Mayr Method, a restrictive program that claims to promote weight loss by improving gut health.

We love Wilson’s mentality about balance and can’t wait to see more from the actress!
