Mindy Kaling addressed her major weight loss transformation in her latest social media post while sharing throwback photos from nearly a decade ago.
The 46-year-old actress admitted she ‘almost didn’t post because I look different’ but avoided touching on the ongoing rumors she used weight loss jabs to lose weight.
For the past year, she has consistently showed off her slimmer and slimmer physique amid her personal health journey.
Most recently, she looked nearly unrecognizable as she debuted her svelte frame in a cut-out dress at the Golden Eve Event earlier this month and the WWD Style Awards just last week.
The screenwriter and producer partook in the 2016 challenge, in which social media users posted throwback photos to reflect on the past decade.
‘I saw this 2016 trend and loved it and almost didn’t post because I look different but these pics are too fun not to share,’ she wrote in her caption before adding in parentheses about other people feeling the same.

The Office alum added: ‘(I wonder if anyone else can relate lol) but I loved this time and all my memories from then, so had to post! Enjoy!!!!’
She shared a series of photos from behind the scenes of filming The Mindy Project, her romantic comedy sitcom aired 117 episodes from 2012 to 2017.
She created and also starred in the show as the titular gynecologist Mindy Lahiri on a journey to change up her personal and professional life.
She shared photos of herself modeling a variety of outfits and posing alongside various members of the cast and crew as well as the late TV legend Betty White.
Since the series wrapped eight years ago, she has consistently made headlines for her weight loss over the years.
In 2023, she opened up about how she started on her health journey after having children.
She is a mother to Katherine ‘Kit’ Swati Kaling, eight, Spencer ‘Spike’ Avu Kaling, five, and Anne Kaling, who turns two in February.
Kaling has never shared the identity of her children’s father, though many fans have speculated it could be their godfather B.J. Novak, her costar-slash-fellow showrunner on The Office based on their on-screen chemistry and longtime friendship.

‘Look I know I’m clearly materialistic but the best birthday gift to me, for the rest of my life, are these two guys,’ she wrote about her two eldest kids on Instagram in 2023, the year before she welcomed her third child.
‘I was never a “kid” person. When my mom passed through, it just clicked in me: I wanted kids with such intense certainty. I bet some of you can relate.’
‘I’m just trying to be present for them (hard for me! I’m impatient!), being up for anything (again hard for me, I am not whimsical!), and stay healthy for these two guys (ALSO hard! I just want to eat cheesesteaks every meal in front of the TV) for until I’m an old gray skeleton they’re like “Mom, you gotta go.”
‘My doctor told me that this year I was the healthiest I’ve been in years. That’s a pretty d*** good gift, right?’
In April 2022, she told ET that she lost weight without limiting herself to what foods she can or cannot eat.

‘I eat what I like to eat. If I do any kind of restrictive diet, it never really works for me. I just eat less of it. I wish there was something more juicy or dynamic about the way that I’ve lost a little bit of weight, but that’s the way I’ve done it.’
The Running Point co-creator has never admitted to taking a trendy GLP-1 agonist drug but, rather, credited her slimmed down frame to portion control, increased hydration, weight training, yoga and 15 to 20-mile walks per week.
‘In my 20s, I had this very certain idea of what “being fit” really meant,’ Kaling told E! News in 2022.
‘You had to run a seven-minute mile and eat this amount of carbs and proteins. It took me a long time to realize that there are lots of different ways to be fit.’
