Social media users are weighing in after Amy Schumer deleted all of her pre-weight-loss photos.
The 44-year-old comedian has been on a widely-publicized weight loss journey over the past year, openly sharing her experiences with weight loss medications, liposuction, and health struggles.
After months of posting updates on her progress, Schumer made the bold move to delete all of her previous Instagram posts, leaving just one new post showcasing her slimmer figure.
In her latest photo, the I Feel Pretty star is seen wearing a Valentino Red Silk-Wool Heart Mini Dress paired with Chanel shoes.
"I actually left my house tonight. Who’s proud? I’m feeling good and happy. Deleted my old pics for no reason!" she captioned the post.

Social Media Reactions
The decision to delete her previous photos, many of which documented her weight loss journey, has led to speculation about her reasons.
One user commented: "Girl! Why did you delete your old pics and reels?!" and mentioned they loved the "range" her page had, from pre- to current weight loss.
Meanwhile, others celebrated her transformation, filling the comment section with compliments. "Stunning. This dress," one person shared, while another chimed in: "You look amazing Amy !!!!" A third added: "I think you’re my muse now."
The new post comes after the comic shared a now-deleted picture of her toned legs on October 5. The snap quickly garnered attention from Schumer's famous peers.
Comedian Kathy Griffin jokingly wrote: “I’m so pissed about your legs, I can barely talk to you,” while writer-director Lee Daniels, known for Precious and Empire, commented: “Skinnnnnnnny mommmmma.”
A few days later, the Snatched actress took to her Instagram to thank her followers for their compliments, writing: “Loving the love. My legs thank you!”

Schumer’s Candid Journey with Weight Loss
Over the years, the Trainwreck actress has been vocal about her battle with her weight and health.
Back in 2022, she revealed that she underwent liposuction following the birth of her son, Gene, after struggling with body changes from pregnancy.
Since then, Schumer has openly discussed her experiences with weight loss medications, including Ozempic and Mounjaro, both of which are used off-label for weight loss.
In 2023, she shared her difficult experience with Ozempic, a GLP-1 medication that led to severe nausea and energy loss, making her bedridden. "I tried Ozempic almost three years ago, and I was, like, bedridden,” she explained on The Howard Stern Show. "I was like, vomiting - and then you have no energy. But other people take it, and they’re all good. So, God bless them."
After she struggled with Ozempic, Schumer tried Mounjaro, a different GLP-1 medication, and found it to be a much better fit, stating that she had a “great” experience.
“My symptoms of being in perimenopause have disappeared. My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy,” she said, per Healthline. “I want to get down more,” she added, referring to the positive effect on her libido. “So, yeah, that’s been great. Mounjaro’s been great."
