Wendy Williams – Lost 50 Lbs

Radio host-turned-television-star Wendy Williams lost some pounds after she had realized she wanted to look even better. Along with her weight loss regimen, she disciplined herself to follow a strict diet and a regular exercise schedule that allowed her to shed almost up to 50 lbs.

Unfortunately, she is still plagued by various health issues, including her chronic problems with Grave’s disease, as well as hyperthyroidism. On top of that, in 2019 she let her fans know she’s suffering from lymphedema, which although not fatal, can cause one’s legs to swell. Despite all this, as she says, her faith keeps her strong.

Rebel Wilson – Lost 60 Lbs

Rebel Wilson, the funny and lovable actress, is best known for her role as Fat Amy in the Pitch Perfect movies. Today, she is no longer Fat Amy, just Curvy Amy, as she was able to lose over 60 pounds through a healthier lifestyle. She did some very strict healthy diets, and now she looks better and fitter than ever before.

The funny thing is, several of her movie parts actually wanted her to be overweight. In fact, while filming Pain & Gain, she was pressured by the producers to go off her diet as they needed her character to remain the same weight throughout the film.

Oprah Winfrey – Lost 160 Lbs

Oprah Winfrey, the most iconic female TV host in the world, and perhaps also the richest in her league, struggled with her weight. Though with all her wealth and fortune, she can get the best trainers and everything she needs. She weighed 237 pounds in 1999, but she was able to lose 160 pounds because of a healthier diet and regular training.

Oprah even partnered with Weight Watchers, as she bought many of the company’s stocks a couple of years ago. Though it was rumored that she would sell them in 2019, a year later, Oprah extended her collaboration with the company.

Keely Shaye Smith – Lost 100 Lbs

Aside from being the wife of James Bond star Pierce Brosnan, Keely Shaye Smith became most known as an actress, journalist, author, model, and host. With all the work, stress, plus giving birth to her kids, Keely didn’t notice that she started gaining some pounds. In the past, she had tried different types of diet but nothing just seemed to work.

Finally, she realized that she didn’t need a diet, she needed to change her lifestyle by eating healthy and exercising regularly. Eventually, from 260 lbs, she went down to 155, all made possible through a healthier diet.

Chrissy Metz – Lost 100 Lbs

Growing up, Chrissy Metz was no stranger to gaining and losing weight. She revealed much of her story with her autobiography, This Is Me, in 2018. Chrissy grew up in Florida, and the first time she got serious about her weight loss was with her move to L.A.

She was able to shed 50 pounds, only to gain it all back, times two. When she was playing in American Horror Story, however, she’d already lost all 80 pounds she gained since relocating. Today, she’s playing in This Is Us and has kept the weight off. She did so by walking every day while only eating a maximum of 2,000 calories.

 Chaz Bono – Lost 85 Lbs

Throughout workouts for the reality competition and through a change in his lifestyle, Chaz was able to drop 85lbs. This was in 2011, and since then Chaz is looking better than ever. He is very actively advocating for the LGBT community, human rights, and various other causes. Chaz also sang backing vocals on some of the recent Cher’s songs.

Kirstie Alley – Lost 50 Lbs

Unbeknownst to many, Kirstie Alley battled with weight loss for a long time. Deciding to do something about it (while maintaining a weight-loss show), she was able to shed pounds and follow a healthy lifestyle. She did it in an all-natural method. Good for you, Kirstie!

Reaching fame in her 30s, Kristie is still praised for her Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan role. Her acting career grew exponentially, but she gained weight in the ’90s, which sort of affected the roles she was getting. Although business was good, Kristie had to do something about it for the sake of her health, thus the transformation shown above.

Celine Dion – Lost 50 Lbs

When asked about what is making her lose weight, she mentioned how all the dancing she has been doing is the culprit. She is also very happy with how she looks and doesn’t really care about other people’s opinions. Dion released a new album in 2019 titled Courage.

Celine Dion has been one of the biggest names in music since the ’90s. Some of her most popular songs were My Heart Will Go On and Because You Loved Me. She has always had an amazing figure, but she has been able to slim down even more in recent years and many were alarmed that she was getting “too thin”.

Jorge Garcia – Lost 100 Lbs

Once weighted above 400 pounds, ‘Lost’ star Jorge Garcia managed to drop down 100 lbs. His main motive was to become healthier and happier although his extra weight never really seemed to affect his success in acting. He was asked to drop some pounds during the production of Lost which he did but gained back in a short while. Then he came across the Nooch diet which doesn’t allow meat consumption and managed to lose 100 lbs.

Perhaps it was this positive change in his life that also led him to walk down the aisle with his girlfriend, the beautiful Rebecca Birdsall, in 2019. Although he’s been out of work since 2016, he’s set to appear in a MacGuyver episode in 2020.

 Mama June – Lost 300 Lbs

Mama June was considered obese for more than ten years, but after becoming a grandma, she had a wake-up up call and decided to live healthier. After undergoing gastric sleeve surgery and some other cosmetic procedures and following some strict diets, she was able to lose 300 pounds. Now, she looks so great that you can’t even recognize her.

On the other hand, her personal (and professional) life has suffered some setbacks, with her boyfriend being accused of domestic abuse and both of them getting arrested for possession. Mama is setting a bad example for her kids, and if convicted, she could lose her show as well!

Gabourey Sidibe – Lost 150 Lbs

Gabourey Sidibe is best remembered for her role in the film, Precious. She had trouble losing weight the natural way through exercise and diets, so when she learned that she has Type 2 diabetes, she decided to undergo a gastric sleeve surgery, which helped her lose as much as 150 pounds. She’s still a little on the heavy side, but she’s hopeful that she could lose some more pounds.

Her fans got to see her new looks a lot better in her appearances in the TV show Empire, where she has had a number of steamy scenes with her on-screen boyfriend, Mo McRae. The young actress may have already won a lot of awards but we’re pretty sure she’s got a long and illustrious road ahead of her.
