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!
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.
Austin “Chumlee” Russel – Lost 75 Lbs
The Pawn Stars actor, Austin Russell, a.k.a. Chumlee struggled with his weight and was over 300 pounds. He was also diagnosed as a pre-diabetic, so concerned as he was about his health, he decided to live a healthier lifestyle. He went on a healthy diet and regular exercise, and today, Chumlee has lost more than 75 pounds.

It is a bit ironic that he went through all that trouble to lose the weight and adopt a healthier lifestyle, only to get arrested for possession of a heck of a lot of stimulants, as well as firearms. What good is it to quit red meat, if he’s going to use crystal meth and cocaine? He got a deal with the D.A. which includes counseling, and we hope he uses the opportunity to get clean and get his life in order.
