Amy Schumer was glowing in her latest social media post as she soaked up the sun while on vacation, looking happier than ever on a picturesque boat trip.
The comedian showcased her incredible physique in the Instagram photo, which saw her modeling a black swimsuit with white detailing, adding stylish black sunglasses and a chic bun to complete the look.
“From the relatocam,” she captioned the post, which quickly garnered over 24,000 likes and a sea of supportive comments, with one fan writing, “You look amazing!” while another added, “Killing it girl!”
Candid confession
Amy’s stunning appearance comes just months after she opened up about her experience with weight loss drugs, sharing which one had an adverse effect on her body.
“Three years ago, I tried Wegovy. I was puking, I couldn’t handle it. I don’t know if they’ve changed the formula, whatever,” she said in a candid Instagram video in March.
“But anyway, I went on this Telehealth meeting…and it was cheap. I wanted to try it myself ’cause I wanted to recommend it to my friends who are nurses and teachers.”

Since the doctor’s visit, Amy’s health vastly improved, as she told her fans. “My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy…So that’s been great and Mounjaro’s been great.”
“And look, it’s not covered by insurance unless you have diabetes or like severe obesity, which most of the internet thinks I have,” she quipped. “But I’m having a really good experience with it and I wanted to keep it real with you about that.”
Adverse effects

Amy explained that Ozempic made her feel so unwell that she could barely find the energy to play with her son Gene, whom she shares with her husband Chris Fischer.
“I have this gene — GDF15 — which makes you extremely prone to nausea, which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy,” she said on The Howard Stern Show.

“I lost 30 pounds so quick. I looked great and I couldn’t lift my head off the pillow, so what’s the point?” she added.
The I Feel Pretty star isn’t the only one to get candid about her experience with GLP-1 medication.

“One of the things that I realized the very first time I took a GLP-1 was that all these years I thought that thin people just had more willpower, they ate better foods, they were able to stick to it longer, they never had a potato chip, and then I realized the very first time I took the GLP-1 that, ‘Oh, they’re not even thinking about it. They’re only eating when they’re hungry, and they’re stopping when they’re full,'” she said on The Oprah Podcast.
