“The results are in!” said Gayle King who celebrated losing 7 pounds on the eve of the U.S. presidential elections.
King told her Instagram followers she was worried about her quarantine weight gain. The 65-year-old “CBS This Morning” host shared a photo that showed her tipping the bathroom scale at 172 lbs.
“Ideal weight [doctor] says is 163… not happening anytime soon. Blaming corona quarantine and Halloween candy corns I just bought! Make it stop!”
A week and a half later, King showed her weight was down to 165 lbs. “Update! Just completed 5-day soup fast and the results are in!” she wrote on Instagram Tuesday.
“Trying to get into mustard yellow dress for Elex night coverage TONITE… praying to sweet black baby Jesus it now fits, that you VOTE and that there is PEACE.”
King’s fans encouraged her on her weight loss journey. But King had a message for trolls who had something to say about her feet:
“ps plz withhold all negative comments about my jacked up feet I’m well aware they are a hot mess but not yet comfortable in a covid environment going to nail salon… bigger issues to worry about.”
