Christopher Schwarzenegger showed off the major weight loss progress he's made. Katherine Schwarzenegger shared a video of the family's Christmas festivities in which Christopher, 27, was seen at the holiday dinner table wearing a fitted black sweater, dark grey pants and black leather sneakers.
In the hilarious video, Christina Schwarzenegger was seen hugging her brother-in-law Chris Pratt for the online "hug your brother-in-law challenge." Check out the video below.
Christopher previously opened up about his weight loss journey in May 2025, and he revealed during the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit, that it took him over five years to get to his goals, and that "it was a big process." Overall, he has impressively shed over 100 pounds.

The University of Michigan graduate shared: "I started in 2019, when I was living in Australia. I was on this big trip. I made it a big [deal] like, 'Oh, I'm going to go out and do all this stuff, be in Australia,' and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities. I was like, 'I want to go skydiving.' And my friends were like, 'Yeah, no shot.' I was like, 'Yeah, I can't skydive.'"

He shared: "I lost 30 lbs. just through that." He further explained that his weight loss success was "not an overnight thing." Christopher continued to regularly incorporate strength training, hiking, and walking into his fitness routine.

His father Arnold Schwarzenegger applauded Christopher's continued dedication and discipline when it comes to his health.

And then, out of nowhere, he decided that he wanted to be lean. And now he is. So that is of course fantastic, the self-discipline and the self-motivation. I always felt one day it will have to come from him—and it did," per The Sunday Times.
Christopher has put the work in and we look forward to cheering him on as he keeps getting closer to his personal weight loss goal.
