‘Loving the Weight Loss’: Tammy Rivera’s Fans Praise the Star for Her New Figure

Tammy Rivera‘s fans were impressed by the star’s apparent weight loss after seeing her in a photo she posted to social media on Monday, Oct. 11.

The 35-year-old, who shared a caption-less image, showed off her seemingly smaller physique in a black jumpsuit, Nike sneakers, a jacket and matching Fendi hat and purse.

Although Rivera didn’t confirm any type of weight loss in the upload or on her Instagram page, that didn’t stop her followers from sending praises her way. Several other people even shared that while the “Waka and Tammy” star appeared to be slimmer, they thought she looked great either way.

“Tammy you look good. You don’t need to lose anymore weight.”

“You losing that weight, girl.”

“Okkk you dropping that weight right off.”

“Loving the weight loss sis you look AMAZING (you look amazing either way).”

“Tam Tam…with the look away [smirk face emoji]. You looking like you slimming down, Sis Still Gorgeous.”

In a past interview with Essence magazine, Rivera revealed how she maintained her curvy figure. She credits removing dairy from her diet and having a form of exercise, which ranged included jumping rope. She’s also done singing lessons, which she said she found helped with her stomach area.

The reality star told the publication, “I try my best not to eat cream cheese, ice cream or milk and that’s the most I can cut out right now. Maybe in the future, I can cut out something else, but right now I’m just starting with the basics.”

She added, “Jumping rope has really helped me be able to hold my breath longer… It helps give you more depth and longer wind but it’s also toning because, truthfully, I ain’t been working out like I should be…I’ve been doing more diaphragm exercises, which actually tones your stomach, and I never knew that. It’s contracting!”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
