Amy Schumer Says She Has ‘Lost 50 Pounds’ and Explains Real Reason Why

Amy Schumer is revealing how she shed 50lbs to “survive” after contracting a disease that made her face so “puffy” it could’ve killed her.

The comedian and actress, 44, revealed last year she had been diagnosed with Cushing syndrome — a rare condition caused by having too much of the hormone cortisol in a person’s body — and she appeared to reference her former condition in a new Instagram post on December 1.

Schumer shared a video of her son Gene, 6 – who she has with husband Chris Fischer, 45 – carrying out a tour of their home.

But fans’ view of the tour was obscured by several pieces of text, in which the Trainwreck actress clarified details about her recent weight loss.

Schumer kicked off her Instagram post by saying she “never ever” wears jewelry, and doesn’t have “Botox or filler.”

She also wrote: “I didn’t lose 30lbs, I lost 50. Not to look hot which does feel fun and temporary. 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 continued.

Schumer clarified that she has gone under the knife for plastic surgery in the past, and admitted she uses weight-loss medication Mounjaro.

She wrote: “Sorry for whatever feeling it’s giving you that I lost that weight. I’ve had plastic surgery over the years and I use mounjouro. Sorry to anyone that lets down. I’m pain free. I can okay [play] tag with my son.”

“Happy to share if anyone has any questions about how I’m looking or feeling or where I am in my perimenopause process,” she added.

The post came less than a month after she previously deleted all of her old Instagram posts and just a day after she shared photos of herself looking slim in a yellow dress — sans her wedding ring.

In her post Schumer also addressed speculation surrounding her and Fischer’s seven year marriage. In a nod to his autism diagnosis, she posted: “Whatever ends up happening with Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism.

“Fingers crossed we can make it through, he’s the best.”

On November 13, a source  told People  that the couple was “privately working through normal issues that couples in long-term marriages have.”
