Amanda Bynes stepped out in LA recently after going public with her weight loss journey.
The She's The Man star, 38, kept her look casual, donning a cat print sweater and joggers, paired with sneakers for the outing.
She accessorized with stylish shades and a Chanel handbag, with her blonde hair slicked back off her face.
The former child star displayed the results of her weight loss journey, which she has documented on social media with her more than 545,000 Instagram followers.
Back in March, Bynes told her followers that she 'gained over 20lbs in the past few months from being depressed.'
At the time, she explained that she was 'doing a lot better' and had 'learned to do opposite action when' she doesn't 'feel like working out or eating clean.'

She shared then that her ultimate goal was to slim down to around 110 pounds.
Earlier this month, she shared that she was 'down' six pounds and currently weighed '154lbs now.'
Bynes previously revealed that her struggles with her weight had been an issue for years.
In a 2015 interview with Paper, the All That actress admitted to have 'definitely abused Adderall' in pursuit of a slimmer figure.
While she was filming the 2007 Hairspray remake, Amanda recalled 'reading an article in a magazine that [called Adderall] "the new skinny pill" and they were talking about how women were taking it to stay thin. I was like, "Well, I have to get my hands on that."'
However, she admitted to 'faking the symptoms of ADD' during appointments with a psychiatrist in order to get the prescription.
Amanda's latest attempts to lose weight and focus on her health come over two years after the end of her nine-year conservatorship.
Back in 2013, Bynes tweeted that she had 'an eating disorder' and has 'a hard time staying thin.'

In 2015, Amanda admitted to Paper that she faked the symptoms of ADHD to get a prescription for Adderall after hearing it called 'the new skinny pill' (pictured in 2011 in Universal City)
She did not elaborate on what type of eating disorder she was struggling with or if she sought professional treatment.
That same year, the former child star was put on a psychiatric hold after starting a fire on a stranger's property.
She hasn't spoken negatively of the conservatorship in the way that Britney Spears has, even though fans of the pop singer had also advocated for Amanda to be freed from her conservatorship.
Amanda's mother Lynn Bynes, who became her conservator responsible for her health care and personal matters in 2014, reportedly agreed with her daughter's desire to regain her independence, and the conservatorship was dissolved in March of 2022.
