Remi Bader is opening up about her recent weight loss—and her thoughts on all of the chatter around her body.
The influencer has been more than candid with fans about her journey, as well as her decision to take Ozempic and go off the medication. Now, she’s stressing that her weight is not the most important thing about her.
"I hide a lot of my comments on here for my own mental health,” she wrote in the IG caption of a video of herself in different outfits. “Words like ‘fat’ ‘whale’ ‘obese’ ‘skinny’ ‘tiny,’ to name a few,” she wrote. “But of course I still see them and it's hard to see the constant conversation about my body on this app, because I also wonder, why does that need to be the most important thing about me?”
“Last August, I was too big for society, the closest people to me, and a bad example to the world...this August, I am too small for my community, too small for some brands, but still too big for many, and STILL too big for society,” she continued. “To be honest, I've always seen myself as the same way because my body has fluctuated since the day I could remember that my brain has never caught up with knowing if I was bigger or smaller or what I actually looked like. It was everyone on the outside telling me that for me.”
As a result, Remi said she has “an immense amount of trauma” around body image. However, she stressed this: “I am a lot bigger than my body and will always be the same Remi no matter what I weigh, and that I am sure of.”
Remi alluded to her recent weight loss, but didn’t really dive into it. So, how did she lose weight and what is her health routine now? Here’s what she’s shared.
How did Remi Bader lose weight?
The 29-year-old shared in May that she had revamped her health routine. In an IG video, Remi can be seen struggling to do exercises at the gym before hopping off a machine and shaking her head. Then, the video cuts to an “after” of Remi crushing those same exercises.
“The difference of a few months focusing on my mental, emotional and physical strength,” she wrote. "This is not about weight, or looks or appearance. It's about putting myself first and finding myself again. Always put yourself first."
Remi also shared in September 2023 TikTok that she struggled with binge eating and, on very emotional days, she ends up “eating, eating, eating, eating.” It's not clear if she still struggles with binge eating, but Remi has suggested that she feels like she's in a healthier space.
Is Remi taking Ozempic?
Not anymore. Remi is not taking Ozempic, but she’s been open in the past about using the type 2 diabetes drug that often has weight loss as a side effect.
Remi shared on the Not Skinny Not Fat podcast in 2023 that she was originally prescribed Ozempic because she was pre-diabetic, insulin-resistant, and gaining weight.“They said I need this. And I had a lot of mixed feelings,” she shared.
But Remi said she didn’t like the side effects. “A few months later, got into the bad bingeing and went off it,” she said.
“I saw a doctor, and they were like, ‘It’s 100% because you went on Ozempic,’” she continued. “It was making me think I wasn’t hungry for so long I lost some weight. I didn’t want to be obsessed with being on it long-term. I was like, ‘I bet the second I got off I’m going to get starving again.’ I did, and my bingeing got so much worse. So then I kind of blamed Ozempic.”
Remi shared that she “gained double the weight back” when she stopped using the medication.
What workouts does she do?
Remi has shared little snippets of her workout routine on social media, including multiple shots of herself working out at a gym and outdoors.
In early August 2023, Remi shared a glute workout on TikTok that she does in the pool, doing laps using a kickboard.
Later that month, she revealed that she likes to do workouts on the Peloton bike after doing band stretches.
This August, Remi shared video of herself and a few friends heading to a Pilates class:
And in July, she could be seen working with a trainer while cycling through a slew of moves, including pull-ups with hanging rings, dumbbell squats, and overhead presses with barbells.
Healthy and strong—we love to see it!
