We knew Adele had been slimming down over the years, but it wasn’t until recently it hit us just how far she’d come on her weight loss journey.
While the Skyfall singer was celebrating the New Year on vacay with pals Harry Styles and James Corden, she met a teenage fan named Lexi Larson who gushed about the encounter, sharing:
“She said she lost something like 100 pounds, and that it’s such a crazy positive experience. She seemed so happy, and she looked amazing. She seemed really confident.”
That’s right. Adele is now a whole C-note lighter! That’s wild, right?

According to a source speaking to People, the gradual transformation is due to a stricter diet and regular workouts of cross-training and full-body Pilates, some of which she has actually shared on social media over the years, always with a hilariously anguished face.
But the source wants to caution this was not about body sculpting for Adele at all:
“It’s easy to just focus on her physical transformation, but this is really about something bigger.”
For some folks image is everything, but there definitely is something more important — her health! The insider explains:
“She got to the point where she didn’t feel great. She knew she had to change something, because she wants to be the healthiest mom possible.”
And there it is. The big inspiration for the change in Adele’s fitness regime wasn’t posing in gowns on the red carpet or looking sexy in music videos. It was about being in her son’s life as much as possible.
Any parent will tell you, it takes a lot of energy to raise a child, and you need to stay as healthy as you can if you want to keep up with them. They also get you thinking about how to stay around as long as possible, and that means getting healthy. For some people that also means losing weight.
Another big life change Adele implemented? Less alcohol. The source details:
“Her whole focus during the weight loss journey has really how been all about how she can be healthier and how can she treat her body better. It was never about losing weight. Her weight loss happened because she has cut down drinking and is eating more real food.”
However, the insider admits Adele is LOVING the way she looks. )Hey, who isn’t??)
“But she now loves her physical transformation too. She is more confident, dresses differently and she just seems happier overall.”
The source also says the songstress is “happy and excited about the future.” So are we — especially since we hear there’s new Adele music coming soon in it!
