Listen, there’s something about seeing a star like Marie Osmond look absolutely incredible in a pair of skinny jeans. On June 8, she shared a stunning photo on her Instagram page showing just how far she’s come since losing 50 pounds back in 2007 after her Dancing with the Stars run. And let me tell you, she’s not just maintaining that weight loss—she’s thriving.
In the picture, the 61-year-old looks like she’s walking straight out of a fashion magazine. With her hand confidently placed on her hip and those legs looking trim and toned in the jeans, she’s radiating confidence. She paired the slim-fit denim with a fitted orange T-shirt tucked neatly into her waistline and topped it off with a light green camouflage jacket for a spring-ready look. It’s the kind of outfit that screams, “I’ve got this.”

Marie didn’t stop at just looking great in the photo. In her caption, she opened up about her incredible journey. “I love this time of year!” she wrote. “I remember years ago dreading taking walks or hikes because I was carrying around so much extra weight. Thanks to @nutrisystem, I lost 50 lbs and have the energy to get outside and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air.” It’s moments like these where you can really feel her gratitude and joy.
Her Weight Loss Journey Began on Dancing with the Stars
Marie’s weight loss story isn’t just about looking good in jeans—it’s about feeling good too. In 2007, when she was competing on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, she realized it was time for a change. “I was doing Dancing with the Stars, and I thought, 50 extra pounds in spandex is not a beautiful combination. I was ready,” she told Fox News in 2019, explaining what motivated her to start her journey.
She worked hard to shed those pounds, losing them over the course of about four months. “People assume I lost it on Dancing with the Stars, but that’s not true. I started my journey before I did that show,” she explained. “And while I was doing Dancing with the Stars, Nutrisystem found me. … And it was fantastic.”
How Nutrisystem Helped Her Stay on Track
Marie’s experience with Nutrisystem wasn’t just about losing weight—it was about finding balance. “I was going through a divorce, a custody battle, I was dancing—but it helped me get back to my healthier, happier self,” she recalled. “I just can’t do steamed chicken and vegetables. It doesn’t work for me. But I wanted to take care of myself. And that’s exactly what I did.”

For Marie, the structured meal plan was key. “I eat six times a day, I never starve,” she told the Daily Mail in 2020. “When I first started Nutrisystem, I was freaked out because I felt like I ate too much food. In the past, I would not eat all day and then have a big dinner before I went to bed. I ate inconsistently.”
“But I realized that by not eating consistently, I had slowed down my metabolism. Then, I would overload my body. My metabolism was dead. So it took a while to get used to eating six times a day, but when I did, I lost weight because I was keeping my metabolism revved up,” she continued.
From Struggles to Success: Marie’s New Lease on Life
Fast forward to today, and Marie’s life has completely transformed. “When I was 50 pounds overweight, I couldn’t walk up the stairs with a laundry basket without huffing and puffing,” she said. “Now, I can hike with my husband and run around with my grandkids.” She’s proof that once you make the decision to prioritize your health, the possibilities are endless.
Marie’s story is a powerful reminder that change is possible no matter your age or circumstances. As she said in her Instagram caption, she no longer has to “dread” taking walks or hikes now that she’s been 50 pounds lighter for the past 13 years. Her journey is inspiring, and it shows that with dedication and the right tools, anyone can achieve their goals.
