Adele Lost 98 Pounds And When People Say She’s Unrecognizable, They Aren’t Lying

As Beyoncé was debuting her long-awaited visual album based on “The Lion King” three days ago, everyone was literally losing their minds. But no premiere, not even an online one, could go without Queen B’s ultimate fan, Adele herself.

The 32-year-old star posted an image on her Instagram with the caption “Thank you Queen for always making us all feel so loved through your art” and the world went mad for, you name it… her natural glow, wavy hair, bright smile, and not a hint of makeup. This new, fresh look got her 3.9 million likes and counting, and if she’s not a living reincarnation of Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, I don’t know what kind of diva she even is.

Let’s take a look at the viral image down below, and don’t forget to check out what Adele’s former personal trainer Pete Geracimo had to say about her inspiring weight loss journey in a previous interview with Bored Panda.

    Adele’s physical appearance has been at the center of attention since the singer started her weight loss journey about a year ago.

    After posting this viral photo on her 32nd birthday, the singer received a lot of criticism for her slimmed-down look. Some people on social media claimed they “preferred the old Adele” and others said she “doesn’t even look like herself.”

    Amid the backlash, her ex-personal trainer Pete Geracimo stepped in to defend her. In an interview with Bored Panda, Pete said that it’s “sadly all too common in the world today, so I felt compelled to remind those that no one should be criticized for achieving their goals, which for all my clients is about improving fitness and health, first and foremost for themselves.”

    In a lengthy Instagram post, Pete stated that “working with Adele through many highs and lows, she always marched to the beat of her own drum on her own terms.” Moreover, the trainer wrote that getting super skinny was never her intention.

    “It was about getting her healthy. Especially post-pregnancy and post-surgery.” After Adele warmed to training and started making better food choices, “she lost a considerable amount of weight and people took notice.”

    Pete said that this metamorphosis had nothing to do with being a role model, album sales, or plain publicity. “She is doing this for herself and for Angelo.” And we fully support her!

    Why such hate here? She wanted to lose the weight, and did. It's an accomplishment! No one's shaming anyone else. It's the same as the many BP posts about being "happy at any size." She's happy. And that should be the focus.

    She did an awesome job! Losing that much weight takes real commitment and strength. She wanted a change, and she made it happen! Great.
