On Wednesday, the 31-year-old actress asked her Instagram followers if they “want to know what I weigh?”
She then said “Click on my stories. @i_weigh BECAUSE YOU AE SO MUCH MORE THAN A NUMBER,” tagging the I Weigh movement, which encourages women to feel confident despite what number appears on a scale.
“During my life the scale has told me that I’ve gained and lost and gained and lost,” Rossum began.
“Somewhere in the range of 20 pounds. But that piece of metal doesn’t really know,” Rossum continued. “Here’s what I ACTUALLY WEIGH.”
On the next story, Rossum shared a mirror selfie of herself in workout clothes with some of her best qualities written across it.
“3 best friends since kindergarten, drive, kindness, empathy, makes friends with strangers, Jewish and proud, Daughter, 100+ hours of television,” Rossum listed.
“The courage it takes everyday to overcome ptsd, one happy marriage, 3 episodes of television directed, countless hours of therapy, one finished screenplay, and animal rescuer,” Rossum added.

“The size of your thighs don’t really matter anymore do they?!” Rossum asked.
