At the beginning of
2017, Oprah
Winfrey revealed to PEOPLE magazine that after decades of struggling
with her weight, she had lost 42 lbs. Now one year later, she’s
maintained the weight loss — even over the holidays.
“Usually every Christmas
[I’m] up eight to 12 lbs.,” Winfrey, 64, tells PEOPLE in the week’s cover
story. “So to be able to gain nothing during Christmas and watch people eat donuts in front of me, I consider that a victory for someone who has been an
emotional eater and struggled with up-and-down weight loss my whole life.”
The billionaire mogul —
who’s a spokesperson for Weight Watchers and owns 10 percent of the company — hopes
to continue her health journey in anticipation of her next birthday.
“I really want to get more fit and stronger and see if
I can blow it out at 65. Blow it out!” she says, explaining that she’s starting
a weight-training program. “My goal to be 65 and you all say, ‘What happened to
Oprah? She is ripped.’ “
But the Wrinkle in Time star stresses
that as long as she continues to stay at her current weight, she’ll be happy.
“If I didn’t lose another
pound, I still feel really fantastic,” Winfrey says. “I’m not trying to be
skinny, not trying for a size. I’m just trying to be as healthy as my body
wants to be.”
