Chrissy Metz: Good deeds make me feel good about myself

Chrissy Metz turned heads at Variety’s Power of Women event in Nashville, proudly displaying her 45kg weight loss.

The 44-year-old actress, who recently spoke about her health journey, stepped out in a colourful pastel mini dress featuring shades of pink, blue, and yellow.

Her outfit, perfect for spring, included a V-neckline with ruffled detailing and short sleeves for a playful, feminine touch.

The This Is Us star completed her ensemble with a stylish twist — white cowboy boots that added a bold flair to her look.

Her appearance comes nearly a month after she shared new details about her approach to health and fitness, including the workout technique she credits with helping her stay in shape.

In a one-on-one interview with DailyMail.com, Metz opened up about her routine, revealing her renewed commitment to strength training.

“I have always enjoyed strength training. I’ve always enjoyed lifting weights,” she said, adding that she prefers it over traditional cardio exercises.

“I don’t want to run unless I’m being chased,” she joked while discussing her second children’s book, When I Talk to God, I Talk About Feelings.

Metz also spoke fondly of her trainer, who has been through his own weight loss transformation, something she finds especially motivating.

“We have things in common where it’s not just like, ‘Why are you doing this?’ Like, I don’t want to be yelled at. I want to be lovingly supported in whatever it is that I’m doing,” she shared about their sessions.

Beyond personal support, Metz says she’s also driven by a long-term goal: maintaining her health as she ages.

“I want to age the best way that I can, and I want to be strong. And that’s really the impetus behind any of it,” she emphasised.

Living in Nashville, Metz explained that concerns about ageing conditions like osteoporosis and arthritis are a big part of why she prioritises her wellbeing.

“I’m literally doing it because I am nervous about ageing, about osteoporosis or arthritis, you know, and because they are now discovering so much about health overall [and] it’s really about being and staying strong and flexible.”

Her workout schedule may shift depending on her calendar, but she brings full enthusiasm to any new interest — whether it’s exercising, gardening, or woodworking.

She “loves to go ham, all in,” and “chip away just a little bit every day.”

When asked her opinion on the use of Ozempic, Metz responded with a balanced, respectful view.

“It’s something I feel is so personal.”

“I think if you’re not hurting anybody, and you’re not hurting yourself, you should do what you feel is right for your body or your mind or whatever.”

The Power of Women Nashville brunch, hosted by Melissa Joan Hart, spotlighted powerful speeches celebrating the vital role of women — particularly in the world of country music.
