When KimKardashian posted photos of her Halloween costume – she dressed at Elle Woods from Legally Blonde for a day – I honestly thought her body looked great. Yes, I think Kim diets, works out AND helps everything along with liposuction and various surgeries and augmentations. But still, I thought to myself, “she’s doing a good job of maintaining that weight loss.” Turns out, not so much? Kim has apparently gained 18 pounds over the past year.
Kim Kardashian West has some new fitness goals in mind. The KKW Beauty mogul and reality star, 39, hit the gym with her personal trainer, Melissa Alcantara, on Saturday evening, and revealed to fans that she is trying to lose some weight that she’s gained over the course of the last year.
“So we’re doing a night workout before my dinner, which I never do — with this one — but I figured we have to get into it at some point,” Kardashian West said in a video posted on her Instagram Story on Saturday, referring to Alcantara, who was seen squatting. “And yeah, I mean, sometimes we fall off and sometimes you really gotta get it together, and this is one of my fallen-off times where I am, I think, 18 lbs. up from what I was about a year ago, a year and a half ago.”
She then told followers that she hopes to lose weight with the help of her trainer, and hinted that they have a major goal to reach before her next birthday. “To feel good, I just want to get it like, a really good goal weight, and so that means working out at all costs,” she said. “It’s my eating. I work out but it’s like my eating. But Melissa and I have a major goal for by the time I’m 40.”
Alcantara can then be heard saying, “You’re going to be 39 going on 21.”
The next day, the mother of four was back in the gym for a Sunday morning workout as well. While hitting a StairMaster machine, she captioned a video on her Instagram Story, “A morning workout after a night workout is the best!!!”
In August 2018, Kim claimed she was down to 119 lbs, so if she’s 20 pounds heavier now, she’s around 140 pounds? Well… that’s closer to what I thought she always was anyway. What throws me off about Kim is her height – she’s a short woman and I would imagine she looks much smaller in person. On Kim, 130 lbs (give or take 10 pounds) looks like this, probably. Also: summer 2018, I actually thought she looked too thin and now she just looks fit. And no matter how hard we fight, we usually default to our comfortable body weight no matter what. There’s peace in that too – I work out a lot and I’m always going to have thunder thighs because that’s my body type. Kim’s body is always going to be on the voluptuous side – that’s her default.
Also: Kim and her family did several “family” Halloween costumes, just FYI.

A lot of effort; too bad no one in that video looked like they were having … fun. Not one smile, just sexy posing, even from the little girl. Sigh.
Yes because kids always have fun having their photo taken. Lol.
She seriously annoys me. There’s probably some partnership with some weight loss company coming.
No, she loves candy and sweet treats.
Pretty typical. Research shows that up to 80% of those who lose weight dieting gain it all back (plus more) within three years. I’ve seen the percentage as high as 95% cited in some articles. Her metabolism is probably pretty messed up from her extreme diets.
People eating habits often resort them back to the stage before they lost the weight. It’s not metabolism mess up as mush as people resort back to their old habits. Metabolism can change naturally (age, stress, medications, etc) but reality is we often eat the weight back on. We often eat way more calories than we know we are eating. Then add on the exercise routine may become lax once the weight does come off because we met the goal and we can then become lax about it.
Doesn’t she sell that weight loss tummy shake? Or fit tea?
Who knows if she actually gained weight, she’s probably priming her followers to sell something. It seems like the Kardashians are perpetually losing weight.
She’s been saying for over a year now that she eats Vegan when she’s at home. She has a chef. Not sure how her eating habits changed when your Chef is the one preparing your food. Unless she was secretly eating fast food whenever she left the house lol. Doesn’t she always post about working out? So eating Vegan and working out with a trainer for over a year and she gained 18lbs? Yes someone is lying about something. The MET Gala wasn’t that long ago and her waist was tiny (with the help of a corset but still…). But then again we only see photoshopped pics of her. You can make yourself as slim as you want but only those that have seen her in real life over the past year would see a difference.
It doesn’t take much to slowly gain weight back that you lost, especially when you lost it with a strict diet and exercise, which seems like Kim was doing to get down to that 119. If she became even a little lax about her eating and a little less aggressive about her workouts it’s really not hard to do at all. You don’t have to be eating fast food constantly to gain weight, especially if her body likes to hold onto a little more weight. I’m 5’2” with a similar body composition (curvy and hold weight in my bottom half), and it is a CONSTANT battle if I want to stay down to my lowest weight (around 118). Once I get a little less regimented (a glass of wine or dessert here and there, not eating super clean) the scales will slowly creep back up. I believe her, and I don’t believe much the Kardashes say.
@ JAM
Yes you make some good points but Kim has for over a year tweeted and talked about her Vegan diet and not eating sugar and working out every single day. I think she was lying about all that. I’m not sure why she would lie about it but hey it’s the Kardashians they rarely tell the truth.
Eating too much of anything makes you gain weight, no matter which diet or if you work out every day. It’s about calories in vs. out. If you consume way too many calories it is very hard to burn them especially as a petite, almost-40-year-old woman.
That being said, at her frame she would look much bigger with a 18-ponds weight gain. She might have gained some weight but I would guess it’s only a couple of pounds of muscle which is usually barely noticeable as it makes look people toned.
Frizz, I think you are onto something. Wonder if we will see her soon as new spokesperson for one of the diet companies.
@Frizz
You’re exactly right. She’s getting her audience ready for the latest diet product she’s going to shill.
TMZ has been slowly showing little glimpses of Rob (a plan devised by PMK I’m sure). He has lost weight so the family is allowing him to be pap’d again. I bet you anything he’ll be back on their show soon enough and tweeting about some diet pill (a pill he probably never took). This family never stops with this shit. Anything for a dollar.
I know I am part of the problem by clicking on this and responding-BUT I really want her to GO AWAY forever. Why does her weight gain deserve an announcement ??? Oh right she’s shilling her take on Spanx-Skims….I hate that I know this.
Me, too. The country is literally and metaphorically on fire, her husband is supporting a wannabe dictator and we should care that she gained a few pounds?? Eff her.
THIS
I don’t think Kanye is in any of those costumes.
I’d say there’s about a 0% chance, agreed.
Also it seems such a folly to believe any number she throws around about her weight. Girl lies about everything related to her body.
He’s probably too Christian for Halloween now.
there’s pictures of him in the worm suit with no mask on, so that one was him at least. don’t know about the others.
I don’t think so either. He’s the only one whose face is covered in every single picture and he’s not touching any of the kids in any of the pictures either. It’s probably the lawn guy.
It’s probably Kim’s professional a$$ kisser Jonathan Cheban…oops I mean “FoodGod”.
Dagnabit, you beat me to it. I doubt that’s Kanye ad well.
Lol, my first thought exactly.
1000% this. It’s a way to claim he is a participating dad while going off the deep end.
I came here to say the same thing.
Hahaha THANK YOU!! Was thinking the same thing!
She looks like she’s put on some weight, but it looks good on her. I think for a while she was a little too thin, but her body, her choice.
I thought she looked great in the Betty costume. She didn’t look like she was starving herself, and actually looked like she’d put on some muscle. It suits her. It’s a shame she’s going to work herself super hard to get back to a lower weight just for the numbers (or at least that what it seems like).
I think she looks incredible and beautiful in the Betty costume, but she’s still a dishonest phony.
It’s exhausting to follow the Kardashian’s Halloween costumes changes. Finding one costume is already an effort. But 2, 3, 4 is just crazy. Why do they do this?
In terms of Kim’s weight, i think she is now at her ideal weight.
If she’s 1.59m, she should weigh about 56kg, which is her weight now.
I was a lot lighter when I was 20, but now, at 40, my body has changed. I’m heavier but my dress size is about the same. I think it’s how it should be.
I don’t get the Halloween parade of costume changes. I also don’t like that adults have completely taken over Halloween.
I don’t believe anything she says it her weight. There is always an endgame with her.
@Mirage same! I’m so glad to hear that’s normal. In high schools and college, I was 120lb. Now I’m 132lb at 37. I’m 5’6.5”. I have always, and still do, exercise 6 days/week running/biking/elliptical, and I do 2 days/week of strength training. I’m very vigilant of my eating and exercise. My clothing size is the same- but my weight is higher and will not move, ever since I had my last baby at 34! It’s unsettling to me- but maybe it’s possible/normal over time as body composition changes?
I follow her trainer, so this is normal when you train with weights. I would love to get that weight to grow my ass lol but you have to eat extremely clean.
If you want to grow your ass you need to use consistent heavier weights not the ones her trainer uses. Lift heavy not light to grow glutes.
I’ve seen her in person. She’s tiny, and very delicate looking.
I don’t know why people think she lies about her weight. She’s only 5’2. 138 lbs is only a hair away from being overweight at that height, and 119 lbs is just normal, not super thin. Do people really think she’s significantly overweight, or obese?
That’s what I think too. I’m 5’7 and usually around 130 pounds (a little heavier than normal now, losing baby weight) and I’m very “average” sized. Being 120-ish at her height would be average-ish too, I’d guess? Guess it depends on one’s body type and all that
I never understood the claims Kim lies about her weight either. Being 120lbs looks different on a 5ft and 6ft person. When Kim said she was a 0 or 2 I didn’t think it was farfetched considering her height.
People think she lies about her weight because she lies about everything. People doubted the robbery in Paris, also. It’s hard to separate truth from lies with these people. I mean does anyone believe Kanye is actually in those costumes? Not one picture shows his face.
there are pictures of him in the worm suit without the mask.
I do question her weight though. I’m 5’2″and 110 lbs with modest C cups and a small butt. there’s no way I would be 119 if I had her boobs, butt, and thighs. I bet the “extra” 18 lbs is more accurate to what her weight has been the whole time.
She is small.
But don’t the huge boobs and butt add a lot of extra weight?
She surely can’t exercise those “assets” away!
I mean, I’m 5’2″ and I have DD. In the scheme of things, boobs and butts aren’t adding too much to the total weight lol.
Actually a D cup weighs between 15 to 23 pounds according to Google. I’m also a DD, was curious how much mine weigh. I just saw an answer for D cup not DD though
@JJ, I don’t think fake body parts weight as much as real ones?
Oh god, that’s rough – I didn’t realize they were that heavy! I’m basically lifting weights against my will haha.
Joanna, that’s not possible! 15-25 lbs?! A gallon of water weights 8 lbs. Fat is less dense (weighs less) than water – that’s why it floats.
Are you seriously saying EACH breast = 1 or 1.5 gallons? Like, the big jugs of milk? That just doesn’t seem possible!
If it is true, well, then I’m really glad to be a B cup.
Ok, I looked it up, and the info I found stated D cups weight about 2 lbs each. DD would be about 2.5 lb each.
Now I want to weigh my boobs.
A D cup definitely doesn’t weigh that much. I had a breast reduction that took me from a J cup to a C, and that only weighed 4 and bit pounds.
She has big boobs and that ass, but she’s also very small in other areas. If it wasn’t for those two things 119 pounds wouldn’t be something she has to work so hard for, it would just be her normal weight.
Does anyone know if she passed the Baby Bar she was supposed to take this past summer? She hasn’t mentioned anything.
Because it never happened.
didn’t she lose all the weight from weight training? if she’s keeping up with those workouts, she probably gained a decent amount of muscle including in that 18 pounds. 18 pounds of fat on her frame would be extremely apparent.
I’m 5’2″ with a similar shape (small waist, bigger butt/thighs), and maybe it’s because she works out more than me, but she doesn’t look like she weighs 140 pounds.
I quit dieting about three years ago and just let my body “calibrate.” I eat when I’m hungry and I just work on the emotional work of accepting my body at it’s natural weight. I fluctuate between 120-123 (I’m 35). When I was dieting, I was anywhere from 115-145, and it was hell. I really advocate for the difficult but valuable work of body acceptance. Kim is always trying to attain a body type that is not natural to her, and so this constant back and forth will always be a thing for her. For me, that was torture.
So well said Alex. Women need to stop comparing their bodies to others. Everyone has their own natural weight. If you have to go to extremes (starvation diets/over exercising) to achieve a certain weight then you are not supposed to be that thin and will make yourself miserable or sick trying.
Also, I do not believe that Kanye is in ANY of those costumes. Why is he the only one with his face covered?
Amen to that! I’m 5’1″ and when I started putting on weight as I got older I was constantly dieting trying to go back to the tiniest size I was because any weight on me showed. Mix that pressure with the fact that other people couldn’t seem to refrain from letting me know I had put on weight and it was awful for my mental health. I threw out the scale and have no idea what I weigh now, I just eat when I’m hungry and exercise to be healthy NOT skinny, all while accepting my body will continue to fluctuate throughout my life and thanking it for functioning properly.
Thank you. I have also gone on this journey. Diet culture is so toxic. Both mentally and physically.
But why is this news? Why is she talking about this, why are we talking about this?
She’ll talk about anything to stay relevant. I’m not sure why we all care. I keep asking myself that.
Probably because she dominates the internet and doesn’t hide behind a computer in an unproductive way. She has four kids, law school, a half a billion dollar empire, a husband who is the biggest shareholder of a successful shoe company, and he also has 50 grammy nominations.She has a life but some lecture on what they think they know.
They have all had their stomach stapled and I bet they talked Rob into that procedure too,. Plus Kim and Khloé for sure have liposuction on many part of their bodies. They are all liars and so phony and plastic . I hate that people watch them on TV or really believe anything is true and real about them.
I cannot believe their 15 minutes of fame isn’t over yet.
Neither can I, they’re so boring. There are a lot of them, so that helps with holding the attention.
I don’t know why 119 at 5’2 is so hard for you to believe. That’s not exactly that skinny, I mean it’s thin but she’s not claiming anything crazy. I have her same measurements but I’m 2” taller and I’m about 120-125.
She has probably gained it and is probably working on a promo with a weight loss pill or something similar. She and Rob together. Trust that her family is always hustling.
I don’t get the posing in multiple costumes thing but I suspect they get lots of clicks and therefore more $$$. I imagine they dressed up in the worm set and Kanye said no more, that’s it for him. Then they took a break for hair and make up to do the other two shots with a stand in guy. Those poor kids.
I don’t believe she’s gained 18 pounds. She just has another diet product/workout/trainer she’s gonna get paid to promote. She’ll “lose” and say it was due to “xyz.”
I wonder how she will cope with getting REALLY OLD – like how will she be about aging and the inevitable hormone/change of life weight gain she will potentially experience?!! NO MATTER what she does she will age, and after 40 she will likely yo-yo weight FOREVER as her metabolism slows down – it’s probably already f-ed up by all the constant gain-loss she’s done to her body. She really thinks she is NOT LIKE US and that she can avoid all of this. Well Kimmy, no matter how much you sweat your body or your stress about gaining, your body is MIDDLE-AGE now and will be constantly changing!!
Could be a new weight product she’s shilling and it could be normal weight gain because she was probably underweight for where her body naturally settles with regular exercise and healthy eating. Diet culture has this weird idea that everybody has a size 2 body waiting to pop out with the right amount of “discipline.” Realistically, plenty of us will never be model thin without extreme measures. Women who are eating healthy and working out should not be killing themselves to pursue a size over perfectly sensible weights, and it’s so damaging to let them think so.
Well, few people stay exactly the same weight over the course of a year. Not even competitive athletes in most cases. And this “119 pounds” was probably her lowest weight after a lot of effort, and not realistic to stay at.
I love her makeup in the Betty Rubble pic. She looks so pretty and younger with actual color on her face. Her constant monochromatic makeup is such a snore.
Couldn’t agree with you more, what a nice difference!
It’s so hard to keep weight off when you’re short. I’m 5’1 and always had a goal weight of 115. I’ve been slim, but never skinny, even when I was a teen. Took me a long time to accept that 125-130 is a much more reasonable goal for my body type and metabolism.
Before she was famous she’d already had a boob job and a bum job. Her voluptuousness is not a default unless we’re referring to the default of LA surgeons.
The Halloween pics are cute but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s not Kanye under those costumes.
