Amy Schumer is celebrating the 4th of July in style after opening up about her weight loss journey.
“Epic fourth,” Schumer, 45, wrote via her Instagram Story on Sunday, July 5, while sharing a photo of her crew enjoying the patriotic holiday. “Just a group of 25 friends who have known each other for 35 years with their families. Love you all.”
In a separate snap, Schumer posed in a blue one-piece with matching blue shorts as she placed her arms around her pals outside.
“Thanks @chloeiscrazy and @mother for my suit!” she captioned the Instagram Story, referring to Saturday Night Live’s Chloe Fineman.
Schumer has been candid about her health journey through the years, sharing in December 2025 that she lost 50 pounds as a way to “survive” her battle with Cushing syndrome. (The condition occurs when the body has too much cortisol for a long period of time and can cause puffiness in the face.)
“So I got these was getting these steroid injections and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome — which I wouldn’t have known if the internet hadn’t come for me so hard,” Schumer explained during a January episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “I learned I had this condition, and that I had something called moon face, and I’m starring in a movie — and there’s a camera right in my face.”
The comedian, who is the mom of son Gene, has also been open about her experience trying Mounjaro. The GLP-1 drug is similar to Ozempic, which is used to treat weight-loss related issues. (Schumer welcomed Gene in 2019 with estranged husband Chris Fischer. She filed for divorce from Fischer in January, one month after sharing their separation.)
“Three years ago, I tried Wegovy,” she said in a 2025 Instagram video. “I was puking, I couldn’t handle it. I don’t know if they’ve changed the formula, whatever. But anyway, I went on this Telehealth meeting with Midi Health, and it was cheap. I wanted to try it myself ‘cause I wanted to recommend it to my friends who are nurses and teachers.”
“They put me on estrogen and progesterone because I realized I was in perimenopause and my symptoms from being perimenopause have disappeared,” she continued. “My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy, I want to get down more, if you know what I mean. I’m talking about sex. So that’s been great and Mounjaro’s been great.”
Schumer went on to note that the drug is “not covered by insurance unless you have diabetes or like severe obesity, which most of the internet thinks I have.”
She concluded, “But I’m having a really good experience with it and I wanted to keep it real with you about that. Midi Health. I liked it so much and I had such a good experience [that] I invested in the company.”
