Amy Schumer has lost a considerable amount of weight over the past few months—over 50 pounds to date—and says that her weight loss journey was brought on by her Cushing Syndrome diagnosis, saying she had to lose the weight to “survive.” Keep reading for more information.

Amy Schumer Flaunts Weight Loss On Instagram

In two separate posts to her Instagram page, Amy Schumer showed off her slimmed down frame in a chic butter yellow mini dress. Posing in a carpeted stairwell, the 44-year-old showed off long, toned legs in a pair of black pumps.

The dress, which has a sweetheart neckline and satin ribboning around the bust reminiscent of Andie Anderson’s yellow dress circa How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, fell just above Schumer’s knees. The bottom of the dress features a tulle hemline with yellow satin bows—a super cute look!

Amy Schumer Says Weight Loss Journey Was Brought On By Cushing Syndrome Diagnosis

Earlier this week, the comedian answered some questions about her weight loss journey on her Instagram story. She started off by shutting down rumors that she's gotten Botox, and corrected the claims that she's lost only 30 pounds. "Not to look hot which does feel fun and temporary," she said about her weight loss. "I did it to survive."

"I had a disease that makes your face extremely puffy that can kill you, but the internet caught it, and the disease has cleared," she wrote, seemingly referencing her Cushing syndrome diagnosis. Cushing syndrome is a condition in which the body has too much cortisol.
