Legendary talk-show host Oprah Winfrey is ringing in the new decade with a killer attitude. 

As the 65-year-old kick-starts her new nine-city Vision Tour for 2020, she explains she has found a new sense of wellness - all thanks to giving the toss to the scale. 

This year, Oprah Winfrey launched her “Vision Tour” with WW, which includes stops in 9 cities across the US. 

Her website says the tour will “feature a different lineup of celebrity guests, powerhouse leaders in wellness, and people from all walks of life who took charge and created lasting change.”

This week, Winfrey surprised a group of women walking for various causes in n Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. During her visit, she caught up with Entertainment Online’s Rachel Smith and got candid about her tour. During their talk, the 65-year-old revealed she is “over scales.”

“I don’t even use a scale anymore,” she said. “I just use … do I feel well and does this fit? Because I now fully have come to understand — I’m about to turn 66 — I know, having been on every diet in the world, I do believe that healthy is actually the new skinny. That is what I’m saying.”

On her first stop in Florida, Winfrey had Lady Gaga join her on stage where they spoke about the singer’s struggles with mental illness and fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition. 

"My whole body started tingling and I started screaming,” Lady Gaga told Winfrey, describing what she describes as a Psychotic break. “I was in a hospital. It’s very difficult to describe what it feels like other than that you first start to tingle from head to toe and then you go numb."
