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.

Melissa McCarthy – Lost 75 Lbs

Melissa McCarthy is famous for acting high-spirited characters in films like Bridesmaids, Tammy, and The Heat.  She always struggled with her weight. However, for her latest role, she has pulled out something her fans never imagined possible: the actress has succeeded to lose a blowing 75 lbs!

As it was reported, McCarthy had to follow a strict, low-carb diet, while she also had to sleep at 7:30 p.m. every day! In 2019, McCarthy starred in the film The Kitchen, while in 2020, she’s expected to star in Superintelligence, a film where she also serves as an executive producer.

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.

 Chaz Bono – Lost 85 Lbs

Chaz Bono is the son of the famous singer Cher and her late husband Sonny Bono. He had problems with his weight throughout most of his life, but after joining Dancing with the Stars, he realized he needed the change.

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

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!

Christina Aguilera – Lost 50 Lbs

 Kelly Clarkson – Lost 37 Lbs

After capturing our hearts in American Idol and getting on some people’s nerves on Τhe Voice Kelly Clarkson does not cease to surprise. The Grammy Award-winner has shed over 37 lbs in the past few months. The singer attributes her dramatic transformation to the book titled: The Plant Paradox and says the diet was even efficient in mending a chronic thyroid condition.

Carey released her latest album Caution back in 2018. It was her studio record number fifteen, and we can’t wait for her next material to be released.

Adele has really hit the jackpot with a voice that can fill an entire room. Yet the singer always had insecurities about her weight. She didn’t want to go to extreme measures like fasting or surgeries but opted for a steady and slow approach. She eats healthy foods according to an adapted diet program and exercises as much as she can with her busy schedule. And it clearly is paying off!

Apart from that, Adele revealed that she has been working on new material and we will be seeing her new album in late 2020. The album will be called 30, following the trend set by her previous studio albums and to be honest, we can’t stand the wait!

The world was shocked when Simon Cowell fell down the stairs in his LA home in 2017; fears abounded to him even having broken his neck in the accident. However, the popular British television judge made an astonishing recovery- one that would launch him into an entirely new lifestyle with remarkable results.

Working together with his doctor to create a diet plan free from all meats and dairy, the out-spoken competition show judge has dropped an impressive 60 pounds since then.

But French has spoken out about her restricting her calorie intake instead and going on long hikes around the countryside. Her weight loss was vital for her, as she had to get surgery done which required a healthier weight. We say well done Dawn, and all without a gastric bypass surgery!

Dawn will be appearing alongside Kenneth Brannagh in the upcoming film Death on the Nile, based on the well-known Agatha Kristie novel of the same name, in 2020.

Peter Kay – Undisclosed

He surprisingly had to cancel his shows for 2018 and 2019, sighting personal reasons. Since then, Peter Kay seemingly lost all contact with the outside world. He only made a couple of public appearances here and there, and all his fans couldn’t help but notice how thinner he looked. Peter was apparently able to shed some weight.

However, he hasn’t yet talked about it publicly. He’s now slowly making a comeback, as he has scheduled a show in Blackpool for February 2020. He also started a YouTube channel in late 2019 and already has over 22,000 subscribers!
