After losing 100 pounds, Sheryl Underwood's body has transformed so significantly that she humorously compared herself to a member of the renowned Kardashian family, remarking that she has nearly achieved their iconic hourglass figure. The 60-year-old co-host of The Talk shared this lighthearted commentary during an interview with The Messenger, published on Wednesday, December 13.
Underwood expressed the difficulty of finding clothes and shoes that fit after her dramatic transformation. "My booty is still a 10/12. Above my waist, I’m like 6/8," she explained. "The sad part is that all the clothes that you love, you can’t wear. Like one time, my shoe fell off because my foot was little. I was trying to walk out, and my shoe fell off."
The comedian confessed to using the weight loss drug Wegovy in addition to exercising and embracing a healthier lifestyle to achieve her new look. Underwood emphasized the importance of honesty in weight loss and called out celebrities who hide their use of drugs to lose weight.
"I believe I did the right thing because many people were not being transparent about it," she stated, pointing out that some celebrities want the public to believe that their transformation was natural and solely due to exercise and a low-carb diet.

"I kept noticing all these people changing their appearance from one week to the next, so I felt like I had to be honest about using Wegovy."
Formerly weighing 250 pounds and suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure, Underwood is now committed to maintaining her new healthy figure and motivating others to do the same.
"I'm looking to sculpt and get in shape," the Emmy winner declared. "I want others to join me on this transformation journey."
After turning 59 last year, Underwood announced a 95-pound weight loss. She marked the occasion by wearing a dress and heels on The Talk for the first time. Since then, she has shed an extra 5 pounds.
