Serena Williams Flaunts Her Weight Loss In New Swimsuit Photos

The pro tennis player has been making headlines not with any matches these days, but with her body and healthy transformation.

 

Over the last few years, as she dealt with excess baby weight after giving birth to her two daughters, the athlete has opened up about wanting to lose some weight and get back into better shape. Though she talked about her healthier lifestyle habits, last year, she admitted to using a GLP-1 medication to shed even more pounds. Now, she's flaunting her slimmed-down figure on Instagram, posting a new series of photos of her in a curve-hugging, olive green bathing suit.

 

"I am not perfect….but I'm perfectly me," she wrote. "Take out time today to celebrate being perfectly you!"

Fans React To Serena's Weight Loss & New Photos

Though she's been boasting about how much healthier and happier she's been feeling, Serena's weight loss transformation has sparked an online debate, as there are numerous social media users who are criticizing her for advertising and using Ro, given that her husband is an investor for them.

 

Still, she also has a large number of fans cheering her on, commenting about how great she looks in her new swimsuit photos.

 

"Wow!" commented a fan, as another wrote she looked "nice and muscular."

 

"Serena, you showed the world what a strong, healthy woman warrior looks like and helped so many women feel proud of powerful bodies," added another.

 

"Serena looks good," wrote a user.
