Serena Williams is planning to tackle a new challenge after going on an “intense” weight loss journey. The retired tennis legend shared her progress while putting on a dress that previously didn’t fit her.
Williams is now keen to keep it going with some new goals she wants to achieve. Since retiring from professional tennis in 2022, Williams has been busy. She gave birth to her second child, Adira, and has been working on her businesses, launching a makeup brand this year.
And the 23-time Grand Slam champion now has something else occupying her – a weight loss journey. Williams took to TikTok to celebrate her progress as she tried on a wrap dress.
“So I used to not be able to fit this dress at all, like I literally couldn’t even close it,” she said.
“It would come like here and I physically couldn’t close it. So now, not only can I close it, it almost comes too far over. So I’m really excited.”
Explaining how she managed to drop the weight, the former world No. 1 revealed that she’d gotten into running. And she’s now keen to tick some milestone distances off her list.
Williams continued: “I’ve been training a lot. I’ve been running. I’m training for a 5k, then I’m going to do a 10k and then I want to do a half-marathon.

“So it’s really paying off and I really like this dress just for a cosy day at home, right? So fun.”
And the 43-year-old had an inspiring message for her followers. She added: “So keep going, if you’re working out, you can do it too. If I can do it, you can do it, you’re way better than me.”
