Whoopi Goldberg Wows With Weight Loss
The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg looks much slimmer as she starts 2024. But fans had noticed that Whoopi began her weight loss prior to the show’s return. However, The View followers speculated about how and why the show’s moderator lost the weight.
And in particular, The View fans observed how much Goldberg has slimmed down between the start of the current season to now. As a result of her seeming diet change, Whoopi also looked more youthful and her skin glowed.
And The View moderator seemed to accentuate her weight loss by pulling up her hair to highlight her cheekbones. But fans debated about exactly how she shed the pounds. Goldberg seemed to want to avoid any discussion of the topic on The View.

Whoopi Goldberg Weight Loss Theories Swirl
After fans noticed The View moderator’s weight loss, many turned to social media to comment. And a common theme involved exactly how Whoopi got slim.
For instance, one fan noted, “Whoopi’s weight loss [makes her look] considerably smaller than at the start of the season, yet no mention on the show that I’ve seen.”
But the viewer also expressed disappointment at the silence from Whoopi on the topic. And the viewer admitted, “Maybe I missed it. Good for her. But hopefully she’s been or will be open and informative about how she did it.”

However, others argued over whether Goldberg used one of the popular weight loss medications that are so hot in Hollywood. For instance, one fan wrote, “I’m sure she is on Ozempic.”
And another shared, “I’m not at all against any of the meds for weight loss. I’m happy it worked for some, but it would be great if Whoopi (and Sunny) admitted that they are using meds.”
Whoopi Goldberg Struggles With Health Problems
But some thought that the weight loss resulted from Whoopi’s health problems. “She probably put on weight when her back was out and docs put her on steroids to control the inflammation. I blow up like a balloon on steroids. I put on 25 pounds after surgery!” recalled a viewer. “It came off when I stopped taking them, but I also had to work out.”
And another viewer shared that Whoopi suffered with “health issues for a while that she said had her on steroids. She’s been off them a while. That could be part of it.”
However, many seem to agree on two facts. First, Goldberg does look slimmer. And second, fans of The View feel that whether she used a diet or a weight loss medication, if it makes Whoopi happy and healthy, it’s a good thing.
