Amanda Bynes Looks Slim in Mini Shorts Amid GLP-1 Weight Loss Journey

Amanda Bynes is putting her health first, and it's clearly paying off.

The former child star, 40, showed off her trim figure in mini shorts while out on a sunny day in Los Angeles in photos obtained by a news outlet on Thursday, April 23.

The She's the Man star rocked an oversized black T-shirt and pink athletic bottoms for the casual coffee run, finishing the look with high-top white Vans sneakers.

Bynes wore her bleach-blonde hair in a loose top knot atop her head, paired with bold blue eyebrows.

"She looks good," one user wrote as the photos went viral across social media, while another admirer added, "Glad to see her out and doing her thing wishing her well. She looks happy and at peace, that’s what matters most."

"I hope she feels good too," a third pointed out.

Bynes has faced challenges with substance abuse and mental health over the years. She explained during a 2018 interview that she encountered severe body image issues at the height of her career, which eventually sent her into a "deep depression."

Her last movie dates back to 2010's Easy E, where she said she "couldn't stand her appearance."

"I didn't like my performance. I was absolutely convinced I needed to stop acting after seeing it," she told Paper magazine at the time. "I was high on marijuana when I saw that but for some reason it really started to affect me. I don't know if it was a drug-induced psychosis or what, but it affected my brain in a different way than it affects other people. It absolutely changed my perception of things."

In March 2024, Bynes told her followers that she was "doing a lot better" after a period of depression and planned to lose the 20 pounds she had gained during the bout.

The Sydney White actress has stayed focused on her fitness goals, revealing in late 2025 that she began taking GLP-1 medication.

“I wanted to make a quick post to give a quick update on my Ozempic journey,” she said in a video shared to her Instagram Story on November 5, 2025. “I’ve lost 20 pounds so far. I’m so excited about that, to be honest. Also, I want to lose about 15 more pounds.”

Just one month later, the Amanda Show star revealed she had now reached the 30-pound mark in her weight-loss journey.

“I was 180 lbs, but now I’ve lost 28 lbs on Ozempic! I’m down to 152 lbs,” she wrote alongside a recent paparazzi photo. “I know I still look big, but this photo is really inspiring to me!”

As OK! previously reported, Bynes hoped to drop an additional 30 pounds to achieve her "dream body."
