This new insight comes after Clarkson previously attributed her weight loss to lifestyle changes—like walking more since relocating to New York City and focusing on a protein-rich diet. And while those factors certainly played a role, her latest comments paint a more complete picture.
Clarkson also shared that a concert video was a turning point for her. After watching a recording of one of her Los Angeles performances, she didn’t recognize herself on screen. “I was 203 pounds in that video,” she recalled, saying it gave her the motivation to take charge of her health more intentionally.
She now joins a growing number of public figures—such as Oprah Winfrey, Rebel Wilson, and Heather Gay—who’ve chosen to be transparent about the support they’ve used on their wellness journeys.
Clarkson’s openness adds another layer to an important conversation: that weight loss is deeply personal, often complex, and different for everyone. Whether through diet, movement, or medical guidance, what matters most is doing what feels right for your body—and your life.
