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!

And this is what people had to say about her new look
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.
Her body will thank her with a long and healthy life too.
Load More Replies...She did an awesome job! Losing that much weight takes real commitment and strength. She wanted a change, and she made it happen! Great.
I think the only thing that makes her that unrecognizable is not having on her signature eye makeup.
It would be really nice if we could stop commenting on people's bodies, celebrities or not.
Part of being a celebrity is putting yourself on display, and humans are very visual creatures - we aren't all vapid savages for noticing and mentioning how people look. Now, she made a major, positive change in her life and that's worth discussion among people who care about her. Peoples' bodies matter, we can't pretend they don't exist.
Load More Replies...She always looked amazing. I am so happy for her... and I want to know how she got to lose so much weight because I've been struggling with mine for ages :D hehehehe...
Weight is just a symptom of a problem you cannot solve. It can be anxiety, fear of rejection, mental pain, some kind of unsolved trauma... Diets fail because they focus on food and the body, when the real problem they should be dealing with is the mind. I don't know how to explain it better, because it's very complex. Don't focus on the diet, focus on what triggers your "emotional hunger" and work on that. Once you understand what triggers your emotions you will manage to lose weight. Forgive me for the unsolicited piece of advice, but that's what worked for me, even if it took me more than 20 years to realise where the real problem was.
Load More Replies...As long as she keeps singing I'm good. Not that she asked, wanted, or needed my okay.
Adele can I use your trainer? Stunning. And love the relaxed hippie vibe an the glam mod looks.
I'm happy she feels so much more confident now, although she was beautiful both ways! I just hope the entertainment industry didn't force her to become more thin!
i mean i am happy for her and anyone else who wanted to lose weight and then did, especially if they managed to keep it off, but she really DOESN'T look like herself, and i personally think she was gorgeous before she lost the weight, not as much now :\
Beautiful woman with an amazing voice both before and after the weight loss.
She looks absolutely stunning (not that she didn't before) and radiant. She was committed to make a positive change in her life and worked hard to achieve it. Also, to all the haters who will be coming to this comment section- get off your bloody high horse, stop judging other people's bodies and choices, and go take up a hobby instead of trolling on the internet.
She looks wonderful, beauty comes and goes ... but the memories of her music are with me forever.
Adele looks happy! She has a kid to chase and play with. I truly hope she's having a fantastic, wonderful life.
A person gets to do what they determine is the best thing for them to do. None of our business if it doesn't impact any of our basic rights.
Women can't win no matter what size we are. When she was heavy, everyone jumed on the band wagon, spouting "she was obviously lazy, with all her money & she can't lose weight, that's so unhealthy, what kind of role model is she for her son". BUT NOW, people are jumping wagons, "she's WAY too thin, she doesn't look healthy, she doesn't look like herself anymore, I'll bet she taking drugs" etc. You know what? It's absolutely NONE of your f*****g business what makes another human being happy (within reason & the law, obvs). Your opinion absolutely DOES NOT MATTER and your permission IS NOT REQUIRED.
I just realised, I have never seen a headline about Adele that is about her music.
Why is this such a big deal? Why do people care so much? She is a great singer, that's all that counts.
Well done Adele. I love your new look. Fabulous job. Be happy and stay safe
Not everyone has invasive surgery to lose weight as many are implying on here. There is a particular way of eating that is working incredibly and people are losing large amounts. Its called Keto and you cut out all carbs and sugar from your diet. It works, I lost 3 stone within a few weeks and just got healthier and healthier . Well done to her...she looks fantastic and her beaming smile is a genuine happy smile. She has always been a beautiful soul and now she radiates happiness...good for Adele , if she is happy then so should we be for her.
"a particular way of eating" - it's called eating much less...
Load More Replies...In the earlier photos, though slender, she didn't look happy. Now she does. That's what I wanted to see.
Adele is a beautiful woman. To me it doesn't matter how she lost the weight (stomach band/stapled) but at least she could do is be honest. Why lie? I'll never understand celebrities lol. Now put the wine down and feel good about life. You are a beautiful young woman with a knockout voice!!!
Alright, so yes your face does look different when you lose weight. This last picture, that she looks the most different in, is mostly due to make up and hair style though, not weight loss. A thick cat eye with heavy eye shadow can make a woman look like a different person. Here it looks like she had done her eye brows done and forgone the eye liner, and she also has a different hair style: bright blond curls. Of course she looks different with all of that change in style in addition to the weight loss. Don't we all change through out time?
She looks absolutely amazing, I bet she feels amazing too, and weight loss is great for her health. It takes effort and strong will to lose that much weight. She doesn't need to explain or apologizes to random people on the internet; if they don't like her new look, or music, there is an x button on the upper right corner. Way to go, girl!
Good for her. She is an amazing talent, I have been a fan for years and will continue to be a fan.
If it was what she REALLY wanted, good for her. Just don't want to celebrate someone loosing weight in a society made for skinny ones...
I have the perfect excuse not to lose weight - I went on holidays with my gran (we haven't been the past 2yrs due to health issues - me and her, nothing too serious though!) and leading up to the holidays I'd buy new clothes, stuff I kinda keep just for taking on holiday, etc. So, long story short - I just can't afford to lose weight! I'd need to buy loads of new clothes!! 😏😂
I guess no one knows the movie The Princess Bride?

Load More Replies...Don't hurt your arm trying to pat yourself on the back buddy. Turns out we can be proud of Adele for more than one thing. Shocking isn't it?
Load More Replies...weight loss doesn't change who you are, only on the outside, so she isn't really a different person
