Meghan Trainor’s latest mirror selfie made Us look. Trainor, 31, took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday, October 29, to repost a photo taken by her coach, Bella Maher, and shared on Maher’s personal training page, Malibu Bodies. In the snap, the women coordinated in all-black workout ensembles with white socks and sneakers as Trainor stretched out one leg to show off her long stems. She also held up her shirt to put her flat, toned abs on display and made duck lips at the mirror. “Progress. Power. Peace,” Maher wrote over the photo. Days prior, Maher shared before-and-after photos of Trainor’s stunning weight loss journey via her Malibu Bodies page, gushing about the pop star’s progress. “Watching her transform from the inside out has been one of the most meaningful parts of my work,” Maher wrote, sharing side-by-side photos from January 2024 and this month. “She did so much of this on her own before ever introducing a GLP-1, and even after starting it, the medication was simply a support, not the reason for her results. GLP-1s can be a powerful tool, but they’re certainly not a transformation plan. SHE is the reason this worked.” Maher continued, “She prioritized strength training, protein, intention, structure, and showing up even on the days she didn’t feel like it. She built this. She earned this. And now she gets to live in a body that supports her for life. SO proud of you, my girl!!” Trainor has been on a fitness journey since she gave birth to her and husband Daryl Sabara’s second child, son Barry, in July 2023. (The couple also share son Riley, 4.) The “All About That Bass” singer got candid about her transformation in a March Instagram post after she attended Billboard’s Women in Music event, where she was given the Hitmaker Award. “Feeling so honored to be recognized by @billboard Women in Music as a Hitmaker — what a dream! But it’s a little disheartening that so many of the questions (and comments) were focused on my body instead of my music, my passion, or the decade of hard work that got me here. This is what it’s like to be a woman in the music industry,” she wrote. “No, I don’t look like I did 10 years ago. I’ve been on a journey to be the healthiest, strongest version of myself for my kids and for me.” Trainor explained that her weight loss is the result of several different factors, including working with a dietician, making lifestyle changes, exercising with a trainer — “and yes, I used science and support (shoutout to Mounjaro!) to help me after my 2nd pregnancy. And I’m so glad I did because I feel great.” Trainor later opened up about taking Mounjaro, a type 2 diabetes drug that is often prescribed off-label for weight loss, with Sabara, 33. “Daryl and I both do everything together,” she said on their “Workin’ On It” podcast in April. Trainor stressed that anyone who uses the medication has to “put in the work as well.” “We were like, ‘We have to make sure we don’t lose muscle that we worked so hard gaining all those years,’” she said. “We stay in the gym, we work out, we eat right, and we just noticed that we were less hungry.” Trainor also addressed her decision to speak out on Instagram after the Women in Music event. “Everyone just wants to talk about my body and we’re not here about my body. I’m here about my music,” she said. “I’m reading these comments and I go, ‘Oh, my God, these are all bad.’ There was not one nice comment. Like, the meanest things I’ve ever been told. I look up and I just started sobbing,” she explained. “I just felt like a 13-year-old girl being bullied out loud in front of my whole class again. Later, I was so frustrated. Everyone’s calling me ‘Ozempi Ozempi,’ so I’m just going to explain my journey with my health in an Instagram post, and I’m never going to talk to them about it ever again on my social media.”
