Rebel Wilson hints she’s going to take her career in a new direction after slim down

Rebel Wilson has hinted she is set to take her career in an entirely new direction following her dramatic weight loss of more than 20 kilograms. 

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the comedian, 40, shared a stunning selfie while sitting on a bed in an emerald green dress. 

‘Just call me: Fit Amy,’ Rebel wrote, clearly referring to her role in the highly successful Pitch Perfect franchise. 

Rebel looked immaculate with her vibrant blonde tresses framing her face. 

The Australian-born star opted for a light touch makeup look, pairing mascara on her eyelashes with a matte finish lip gloss. 

Earlier in the day, Rebel revealed that she was just three kilograms shy of reaching her goal weight of 75kg (11.8st or 165lbs). 

She shared her exact weight in a celebratory Instagram post, after finishing a morning hike in Los Angeles.

‘Happy Sunday everyone! Gearing up for a great week ahead,’ she began.   

‘This week was super busy but I got up super early three times (6am) and went on a hike… even did a couple of 100m sprints to get the heart rate even higher – although my ‘sprint’ is probably someone else’s ‘slow jog’.

‘But I felt proud of myself and [am] now only 3kg away from my goal weight!’  

Given that Rebel’s goal weight is 75kg, this means her current weight as of Sunday is 78kg (12.4st or 172lbs).

In the accompanying photo, Rebel posed in activewear with her hands on her hips while looking out over the LA skyline.   

Also on Sunday, Rebel shared several throwback photos from her recent trip to Monaco with her new boyfriend, Jacob Busch.

In the pictures, she modelled a low-cut pink gown with elaborate, rose-inspired sleeves while standing on the balcony of her hotel suite.

She then tucked into a fancy-looking dessert and reminded her followers in the caption that ‘you still gotta treat yourself’.

‘Remember though girls, you still gotta treat yourself,’ the Bridesmaids star wrote.

‘I just do it with food now only once or twice a week… and substitute bubble baths on alternate nights.’   

According to People magazine, Rebel’s weight loss transformation is partially down to following the Mayr Method diet plan. 

‘It’s an approach that eliminates food intolerances, reduces sugar, encourages eating whole foods slowly, boosts the immune system and reduces inflammation,’ a source said.

‘She exercises with a personal trainer up to six times a week, goes on walks and is trying to up her protein intake nutritionally.’

As for exercise, during a typical week, Rebel does a combination of HIIT workouts, mobility, weights and resistance, and has just one day per week of rest.
