Christopher Schwarzenegger Shows Off His 30-Pound Weight Loss During Family Lake Outing: Photos

Christopher Schwarzenegger basked in the sun and family love during a recent lake day, proudly showcasing his impressive 30-pound weight loss transformation.

The 27-year-old son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver was the subject of sister Katherine Schwarzenegger’s Instagram photos posted on Sunday, September 14.

In the carousel, Christopher beamed in blue and white shorts, flashing a smile as a family friend wrapped her arms around his bare torso.

The second photo captured him standing solo, pointing to the sparkling water surrounding him, showing a full display of his physical progress.

"Lake days 💙," Katherine, 35, captioned the Instagram carousel, which also featured Maria and Katherine’s husband, Chris Pratt, among the family enjoying the day.

Arnold praised his son's commitment to healthy living during a profile with London’s The Times. "I could never go and say to him, 'You're overweight.' We just kept introducing healthy foods," said Arnold, 77. "We introduced him always to the gym and all of that kind of stuff."

Christopher first opened up about his weight loss journey in May at the Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles. He revealed that it took more than five years to achieve his weight goals.

"It was a big process. I started in 2019 when I was living in Australia. I was on this big trip. I made it a big [deal] like, 'Oh, I'm going to go out and do all this stuff, be in Australia,' and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities," Christopher shared.

One of those activities was skydiving. "I was like, 'I want to go skydiving.' And my friends were like, 'Yeah, no shot,'" he recalled. "I was like, 'Yeah, I can't skydive.'"

Christopher discussed various weight loss methods he tried over the years, including pre-packaged meals during his school days. "I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school," he said.

Despite the challenges, he emphasized, "It's not an overnight thing, but it took a lot of trial and error. And even still to this day … when you're saying, 'Oh, before and after photos' … I don't feel like I'm an 'after' yet. I don't feel like I'm at the point."

Katherine previously celebrated her brother's transformation in an August Instagram post from their family trip to Cape Cod. Her carousel featured several snaps of Christopher looking slim as he scrolled through his phone, with the caption reading, "A perfect day."
