Amanda Bynes stepped out on Tuesday afternoon looking thinner than ever as she picked up some treats on the westside of Los Angeles.
The former child star has lost 28lbs thanks to a new weight loss drug, she has admitted in the past, after she hit 180lbs during her heaviest.
The 39-year-old Easy A star was dressed casually in a sleeveless T-shirt and pale blue denim jeans with a white lace overlay that hung off her as she treated herself to ice cream at Millet Crepe while with her boyfriend.
The What A Girl Wants star has been dating swarthy Los Angeles resident Zachary Khan for the past several months.
Functional nutritionist Monica Partier told Daily Mail the movie star looks to be losing weight weekly which has made her overall weight loss even more dramatic.
‘She appears about five pounds thinner than she did last month, which means her weight loss drugs are really working for her, so I would put her overall annual weight loss at 35lbs and guess she is a size four,’ Partier told Daily Mail.

‘Not all weight loss medications work that well, it really depends on the drug and the person – sometimes it is not a match, sometimes it is,’ she added.
‘Clearly, the drugs Amanda is using are a good fit. She also looks healthy with glowing skin which suggests she is eating right. And because there is no extra skin on her arms or around her neck, she is likely working out often to tighten up as she loses weight.
‘It looks like she is doing all the right things.’
If Bynes plays her cards right, she could be able to keep the weight off even if she goes off the medication.
Partier added, ‘As long as she is eating high-protein, vegetable-loaded meals with little processed foods, little dairy and hardly any sugar, she should be able to stay slender once she quits the medication.
‘There is a way to maintain the weight loss, she just needs to be diligent.’
That means fried foods and a lot of sugary treats are out. ‘If you really want to keep your weight low, you have to stick to whole foods that are full of nutrients. But there are always good fats that can be consumed like nuts and avocados.’
Bynes rose to fame in the early 2000s for her comedic role on the WB sitcom What I Like About You and several teen-oriented movies, including Hairspray, Big Fat Liar and Easy A.

The charismatic actress’s world started to fall apart in 2012 when she was first arrested in West Hollywood for driving under the influence (DUI). The star was taken into custody after her BMW sideswiped a police car.
In December, Bynes said she shed 28lb after using Ozempic.
She shared a photo of herself on her Instagram Stories in late December and captioned it with: ‘I usually don’t like paparazzi pictures bc I was 180lbs but now I’ve lost 28lbs on ozempic! I’m down to 152lbs. I know I still look big but this photo is really inspiring to me! [sic]’
In June 2025, the former child star, who quit showbiz over a decade ago due to numerous personal problems, including an addiction to the ADHD prescription medication Adderall, revealed in a video that she turned to the weight-loss drug in a bid to reach her ideal weight of 130lb.
The Hairspray performer explained on Instagram: ‘I’m going on Ozempic. So excited.
‘I’m 173 now so I hope to get down to like 130, which would be awesome so I look better in paparazzi pictures. I will post about my Ozempic journey of course.’
She had explained in 2024 that depression caused her to gain 20lbs, divulging that her ultimate goal was to return to her teenage weight of 110lbs; pictured in 2002 aged 16

In March 2024, Bynes shared on Instagram that she piled on more than 20lbs after she had depression.
The Love Wrecked star said: ‘I’m doing a lot better now and have learned to do opposite action when I don’t feel like working out or eating clean. I weigh 162 lbs. right now and want to get back to 110 lbs.’
Last year, she announced on Instagram that she was launching an OnlyFans account.
Speaking about why she decided to join the platform – a paid internet content subscription service that is popular with pornographers, but is also used by other content creators – Bynes said: ‘Disclaimer: I’m doing OnlyFans to chat with my fans through DMs. I won’t be posting any sleazy content.’
