She shocked fans late last year when she admitted to taking weight loss drugs after previously stating she would not take Ozempic or similar drugs.
And Oprah Winfrey showed off the incredible progress she’s made since then on her weight loss journey when she was spotted in Santa Barbara, California, on Tuesday with her friend Maria Shriver, 68.
The legendary talk show host, 70, cut an impressively sporty figure in activewear as she appeared to arrive at a gym for a joint workout.
Despite her initial denials about using weight loss drugs, after admitting to using them, Oprah went on to vehemently defend the use of these weight loss aids and slammed those who attempted to “shame” them earlier this year.
After breaking a sweat, the two TV hosts went through a commercial construction project.
Oprah Winfrey, 70, showed off the incredible progress she’s made on her weight loss journey when she was spotted visiting a gym in Santa Barbara on Tuesday.
The legendary talk show host, who is rarely seen in public except for appearances at high-profile events, was accompanied by her friend Maria Shriver, 68.
It was unclear what connection they had to this, but Oprah and Maria were seen entering the building under construction for about 15 minutes.
They also appeared to chat with some of the property’s contractors during the brief visit.
After the tour of the property, Maria drove Oprah in her green Range Rover to a local coffee shop, where they purchased some drinks.
They appeared to wrap up their day with a trip back to Oprah’s mansion in Montecito, which is just over 90 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
Oprah looked slim in a loose-fitting, long-sleeved, gray-green shirt.
She paired it with light green cropped leggings covered in an embossed pattern, which she contrasted with a sleek pair of burgundy Adidas Ultraboost sneakers from Beyoncé’s Ivy Park collection.
The book club influencer wore her long dark hair parted down the middle, with thick waves cascading over her shoulders.
Maria wore an equally casual outfit that included a white printed T-shirt and sleek black leggings.
She kept comfortable in her black, white and grey New Balance sneakers, and had her arms full with a pale blue purse, a royal blue jacket and a large water bottle.

Oprah had already made a public appearance earlier this month when she joined her longtime friend Gayle King at the Sun Valley Summit in Idaho.
The conference, which has been dubbed “summer camp for billionaires,” goes to great lengths to keep each year’s theme and agenda secret to provide more privacy for its attending CEOs and tech gurus.
Since coming clean about using Ozempic, Oprah has spoken out about some of the most traumatic obstacles she’s faced on her decades-long weight loss journey.
Earlier this month, during an appearance on The Jamie Kern Lima Show In the podcast, the Beloved actress recalled her first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, an episode hosted by the late comedian Joan Rivers.
“Joan Rivers humiliated me on The Tonight Show. It was my first appearance on The Tonight Show,” she shared.
She recalled that Rivers, who died in 2014 after a botched elective procedure, had turned to her from behind the anchor desk to ask, “Tell me, why are you so fat?” … on national television.
“And I don’t know what to do with that,” Oprah continued. “I just go, ‘Well, I love French fries, Joan.’ She goes, ‘No, really! How embarrassing! How embarrassing!'”
