Miranda Lambert responds to weight loss surgery reports

Country singer Miranda Lambert showed off her thinner figure at the 47th Annual CMA Awards earlier this month (photo above) and of course her weight loss spawned stories in the tabloids that she had surgery to help her lose the weight. Miranda took to her website earlier today to address those reports directly with a frustrated statement clarifying that she did not have any sort of surgical procedure and that she lost it the “good old fashioned way” by “watching what I eat and working out.”

Here’s the full statement from Miranda:

A letter from Miranda to her fans
Monday, November 25, 2013

Though I NEVER care what the tabloids have to say about me… I wanted to address this certain story they are running this week and set the record straight. I DID NOT have surgery to lose weight. That is ridiculous. I lost my weight the healthy and good old fashioned way. Watching what I eat and working out with my trainer Bill Crutchfield. As for the assumed number of pounds lost…? I don’t even know! Like I have always said, it’s not about a scale, it’s about how you feel and how your jeans fit. And on November 10th when I turned 30, my skinny jeans were finally baggy! Mission accomplished! So for anyone who is tempted to read the “Trash Talk” please don’t. I am proud to be a normal size girl and I want to encourage everyone to be confident at any size. Thanks for the support yall!

Cheers,

Miranda
