Amy Schumer shares important message as she unveils new look after revealing true reason for weight loss

Amy Schumer has shared a poignant message as we head into 2026.

The actress has faced a lot of changes in her life in recent years: from her Cushing Syndrome diagnosis to the break down of her marriage to husband Chris Fischer.

The couple announced that they were splitting in December. Schumer penned on social media in a now-deleted post: "Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years.

"We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son. We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time."

Now, in a new post shared to Instagram, the Trainwreck star shared a series of snaps of her showing off her 50 pound weight loss.

"My mom took these photos of me while I was packing for a trip," she said of the photos. "And the last photo I’m on the trip."

Schumer went on to say of 2026: "This year is about self care and self love. No makeup. No filter. @eres and @therow let’s all appreciate our health our families our friends and have the best year of our lives. Moving forward with no regrets. Just love."

Her post comes after the 44-year-old revealed the real reason she decided to lose weight and insisted that it wasn't to just 'look hot'.

"I never wear jewelry. I didn’t get Botox or filler. I didn’t lose 30 pounds, I lost 50," Schumer said on Instagram (via The Independent) in a post that seems to have now been deleted.

"Not to look hot, which does feel fun and temporary. I did it to survive."

She continued: "I have a disease that makes your face extremely puffy that can kill you. But the internet caught it, and that disease has cleared."

Mayo Clinic says Cushing syndrome 'happens when the body has too much of the hormone cortisol for a long time'.

The websites goes on: "This can result from the body making too much cortisol, or from taking medicines called glucocorticoids, which affect the body the same way as cortisol."

Common symptoms of the condition include 'moon face', weight gain in the trunk of the body, thin skin that bruises easily, and a fatty lump between the shoulders.

Further commenting on her change in appearance, Schumer shared that she's had plastic surgery over the years and used Mounjaro for weight loss.

"Sorry for whatever feeling it's giving you that I lost that weight," she continued. "Sorry to anyone that lets down."
