SLIM FIGURE
Oprah's slim figure has been on show several times over the past few months.
The star previously opened up about her weight loss after fans and interviewers enquired.
She was quick to emphasize that she wasn't taking shortcuts for faster results, however, it was recently revealed by People Magazine that she had been taking medication.
"It was public sport to make fun of me for 25 years, I have been blamed and shamed, and I blamed and shamed myself," she told the magazine.
She added: "I eat my last meal at 4 o’clock, drink a gallon of water a day, and use the WeightWatchers principles of counting points. I had an awareness of [weight-loss] medications, but felt I had to prove I had the willpower to do it. I now no longer feel that way."
SWITCH UP
Oprah changed her mind on medication in July, when experts discussed the use of weight loss pills on her show.
She admitted: "I realized I’d been blaming myself all these years for being overweight, and I have a predisposition that no amount of willpower is going to control.
"Obesity is a disease. It’s not about willpower, it's about the brain."
Oprah admitted to taking medication after consulting with a doctor, but has not named the medication she is on.
"I now use it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing," she concluded.

She originally said she wanted to lose weight in the old-fashioned way of diet and exercise via Daily Mail.
She added: "There's a part of me that feels – like I think a lot of people feel with bariatric surgery – that I've got to do it the hard way, I've got to keep climbing the mountains, I've got to keep suffering and I've got to do that because otherwise I somehow cheated myself."
