These celebrities have lost weight and are now living healthier lives – and we’re excited!
Mo’Nique, Lost 100 Lbs
The Oscar-winning comedian, Mo’Nique was in the news for dropping more than 80 pounds! She thanked her family for keeping her motivated during her weight loss journey. Mo’Nique, during an interview, said that going through such a major body transformation requires absolute control, willpower, and diligence.
In 2018, the actress shared an emotional heart-to-heart video chat with her fans about her weight loss quest. And in her social media posts, Mo’Nique shared her off-shoulder pics for her followers. She celebrated it as an impressive fitness milestone that she always fantasized about achieving!
Linda Robson – Lost 42 Lbs
The tremendous effect that Linda Robson achieved from her weight loss quest is highly commendable because the actress had to take on some challenging rules to achieve her desired result. One of those rules was the need for Linda to ditch wine to stay accountable.
During an interview, the TV panelist revealed that her motivation to lose weight was driven by a health scare tied to reckless eating. The journey started when a fellow panelist on Loose Women lured her into engaging in a sugar-free diet. Fast forward 18 months, and she lost 42 lbs.
Lisa Riley, Lost 168 Lbs
After having issues with her health, Lisa Riley decided to make a massive transformation and achieved an incredible result by losing 168 lbs. She even underwent surgery to remove the excess part of the skin left after the weight loss.
Currently, Lisa has a whole different attitude towards her eating habits and lifestyle. The star’s meals mainly include small portions and healthy food. To motivate others and share her journey, Lisa filmed a movie called Lisa’s Baggy Body Club, where she talks about her weight loss journey.
James Corden, Lost 23 Lbs
Since late-night talk show host James Corden joined Weight Watchers program earlier this year, he has reportedly lost 23 lbs. James tried so many different diet plans in the past, and after much trial and error, he finally found one that works for him.
In a radio interview, James revealed that he figured out how to make it through a weight loss program successfully, and it’s all about changing his mindset. The TV personality went from “going on a diet” to changing the way he eats every day, and it looks like the transformation has worked wonders for him.
Letitia Dean – 29 Lbs
English actress Letitia Dean had endured her fair share of fat-shaming over the tears. In fact, she once revealed that she was put down for her weight during her early days acting on the soap opera EastEnders. But she said enough was enough. Taking control of her weight, she eventually lost 29 pounds.
That’s a lot, especially on her petite five-foot-three frame! What’s more, her hard work showed as she flaunted her slim figure when she competed on Strictly Come Dancing. She even parlayed her success into creating her own fitness DVD. Still looking great, Dean continues to portray her EastEnders character, Sharon Watts, as of 2021.
Jessie Wallace, Lost 42 Lbs
Whatever the “EastEnders” star Jessie Wallace is doing to keep herself at a size six after once being up to a size 14 has to be a secret worth writing a book about. After noticing that she wasn’t comfortable with her weight on “Strictly Come Dancing,” she decided to make some strict changes to her diet plan that has worked wonders.
Wallace was perhaps the perfect size when she was initially offered a food-loving chubby role in the stage drama “Stepping Out,” but she certainly can’t get such roles again. In 2021, Wallace continues to play her famous role as Kat in “EastEnders.”
Gemma Collins, Lost 56 Lbs
After being heartbroken in 2019, Gemma Collins decided to love herself more instead. This move resulted in her getting over 50 pounds off her weight, and the reality star couldn’t help but feel more confident showing off on social media.
Gemma managed to get in shape through a workout that included cardio and weight lifting. The former The Only Way Is Essex star also committed to a clean diet and avoided snacking. Gemma looks stunning now, and though she’s busy filming her series of Gemma Collins: Diva Forever & Ever, we hope she soon finds love again.
Peter Kay, Undisclosed
We’re not sure if the British “So You Think You’re Funny?” comedian Peter Kay considers his drastic weight loss bad for his image or good for his health, but one thing that’s for sure is that his weight was part of the reasons he was so noticeable in the past.
Comedians are scrutinized a bit differently from other celebrities regarding their weight. And even though the entertainment industry generally paints weight loss as a good thing, we hope that’s the case for Kay, who canceled his tour due to unforeseen family issues. He briefly returned mainstream in January 2021 to chat with Cat Deeley on BBC Radio 2.
Lorraine Stanley, Lost 14 Lbs
There are numerous weight-loss regimens available, and no single recipe will work for everyone. Lorraine Stanley found the best diet for her after trying several, and as a consequence, she lost 14 pounds in just six weeks. She was also fortunate to have a weight loss expert friend who assisted her.
Lorraine eliminated chocolate as well as all other harmful foods such as chips and other snacks. In addition, she cut carbohydrates from her everyday diet. The most important aspect is that Lorraine has stated numerous times that she appreciates the process and the outcome.
Natalie Cassidy, Lost 42 Lbs
English actress Natalie Cassidy has revealed that she lost 42 pounds through a strict diet regime, rigorous exercise, and increased water consumption. She has had a recurring role as Sonia Fowler in EastEnders and the viewers witnessed her body transformation – from a size sixteen to a size eight!
Natalie’s weight loss journey started with her participation in the Charity London Marathon for Dementia Revolution, in preparation for which she ran 18 miles a day very frequently. Natalie also followed an intense twelve-week transformation plan to reduce excess weight in such a short time.
Martine McCutcheon, Lost 14 Lbs
Martine McCutcheon is among the celebrities who have shed pounds, shared her story, and attempted to assist others in their weight loss efforts. She experienced health issues in the past, and as a result, stopped losing weight at some point. McCutcheon had to pay attention to her health, and she started to follow diets and activities that were not harmful.
The artist shed 14 pounds in total and created unique dancing videos to help her exercise. McCutcheon also posted about her diet regimen on her social media pages, stimulating her followers by sharing tips along with her stunning images.
Kym Marsh, Lost 5 Lbs
We are aware that Kym Marsh is a big fan of exercise, but for whatever reason, she stopped paying attention to herself and going to the gym. After some time, the actress put on a few pounds, which eventually stirred up media trolls.
In a bid to rediscover herself and get in shape, the Coronation Street star had to understudy her body metabolism and followed that up with a keto diet and a 20 minutes workout routine. Thanks to her dedication and resilience, she forfeited 5 pounds of body weight in 10 days.
Chanelle Hayes, Lost 98 Lbs
When Chanelle Hayes posted a side-by-side photo of her with varying sizes on social media, people couldn’t believe they were the same person – that’s how incredible her weight loss is! The Big Brother alum has proven how dedicated she was to achieving a slimmer figure.
Hayes was able to lose weight with the aid of bariatric surgery, although the celebrity pointed out, it’s just one part of the whole process of trimming down. The star added that the key is addressing an abnormal relationship with food, which she did. Regular workout exercises also helped Hayes lose an impressive 98 lbs.
Catherine Tyldesley, Lost 112 Lbs
Former Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley looked beautiful before; now she looks even more gorgeous after losing a lot of weight. When fans asked Catherine what pushed her to drop the excess weight, she pointed out several things, two of which are her lack of energy and breathlessness whenever she walked up a flight of stairs.
There were no tricks or secrets; the soap opera star educated herself about nutrition, or simply put, she switched to a healthy diet. It’s awe-inspiring how Catherine was able to transform from a size 22 to a size 8.
Alison Hammond, Lost 28 Lbs
When Alison Hammond discovered her weight had reached 280 lbs, she made a vow to overhaul her lifestyle. Her dream weight is 168 lbs, but she admitted she’d be over the moon if she sheds at least 60 lbs. Hammond became a household name in Britain after joining the third series of Big Brother.
She’s best remembered for being the second housemate to be evicted from the house. Her weight loss journey began after she hired a trainer and regularly shared her workout routines online. The celebrity also made some dietary changes and even became an ambassador for Weight Watchers UK.
Tina Malone, Lost 168 Lbs
From being a size 26 to now being size 6, the Shameless star looks worlds apart. Tina Malone has been on and off the headlines for various unfortunate events, but this time, it was her shocking transformation. She has been quite vocal about her journey and agrees to have gone under the knife.
So, what’s the truth behind her weight loss? While she has had nine operations and a gastric band fitted, the actress followed a rigorous diet plan. And no, it’s not some fad diet. Tina actually has seven meals in a day so that she has enough energy throughout the day, which in turn helps her lose weight.
Jennifer Ellison, Lost 42 Lbs
Looking at before and after photos of Brookside actress Jennifer Ellison’s weight loss journey is truly a wonder. So how did she do it? Jennifer has lost around 42 pounds since she started eating healthier and becoming more physically active.
A big part of Jennifer’s fitness success came from joining a fitness television program in 2017. She and other participants had to detox from processed food, liquor, sugar, and other unhealthy food items. The celebrity also continues a strict fitness regimen to stay in shape. She’s recently posted on social media how she amazingly went from size 18 to 10 in just three months.
Laura Norton – Lost 42 Lbs
Living a healthy lifestyle is undoubtedly one of the primary game-changers for anyone on the path to tone up on excess weight gain. We ought to start by researching what works for us and act on it intentionally.
Laura Norton embarked on what some people wouldn’t dare to implement when setting out to shape up; even though it took her three years to hit her weight loss goal, she eventually enjoys how she feels. Some of the things the actress did were to change her environment, create motivation for herself and rule out fizzy drinks from her diet.
Suzanne Shaw, Lost 56 Lbs
We can all agree that gaining weight is not a pleasant experience for most people. After giving birth to her child, Suzanne Shaw put on so much weight that she was unrecognizable (almost) not just to the fans but also to herself. The former Hear’Say star told the audience that she burst into tears after looking the “biggest she’s ever been.”
Suzanne shared a gorgeous snap on social media with an emotional caption describing her awe-inspiring journey. The secret to her incredible weight loss was a complete lifestyle change. She did everything, from running, going alcohol-free to following a plant-based diet and meditation.
Claire Sweeney, Lost 56 Lbs
Most overweight people have one common obstacle when they are trying to slim down – they love to eat! That was Claire Sweeney’s most significant hurdle as well before she finally lost 56 lbs. The Brookeside actress admitted that she loves to drink wine and indulge in restaurant cuisine.
She decided to lose weight when a former co-star of her bluntly told her she was fat. Getting rid of her bad eating habits plus a SlimFast Plan helped Sweeney reach her weight loss goal. The actress also exercises a lot, an activity she shares on her social media account.
Davinia Taylor, Lost 42 Lbs
Davinia Taylor rose to fame after she played party girl Jude Cunningham in Hollyoaks. After her mother passed away in 2008, she abandoned her diet; her grief caused her to turn to food, especially carbs and sugars. The actress attributes her weight loss to biohacking and not “dieting.” Biohacking refers to lifestyle changes to improve one’s overall health.
When Taylor guested on This Morning, she pointed out that some ingredients in food make people sadder, like vegetable oil that she says aggravates depression. The TV star wrote all the information she’s gathered about food and her weight loss journey in her book, It’s Not A Diet.
Emma Thompson, Lost 17 Lbs
Emma Thompson has been bothered by the size of her lower extremities for years. Finally, in 2017, Emma shared her secret to getting the body she wanted after dropping two dress sizes.
The Nanny McPhee actress praised Louise Parker’s The Method diet, which isn’t a diet. Parker designed the paid program to target stress management, sleep patterns, exercise habits, and balanced food choices. Instead of telling clients only to eat greens and stuff, she lets them indulge in their favorites in moderation. This approach certainly worked for Emma, and she looks stunning!
Susan Boyle, Lost 50 Lbs
Susan Boyle began her now exceptional music career when she sang in “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2009, and she was noticeably on the big side. She’s no stranger to criticism about her weight because it has been going on since she was a child.
But Boyle shocked us all when she appeared to have lost an entire 50 pounds. Her weight loss success was possible because she cut sugar from her food intake and started working out. She was so excited that she even sent a picture to her weight loss doctor, who undoubtedly advised her well. Boyle debuted her star role in “River City” on December 6, 2021.
Anne Hegerty, Lost 42 Lbs
Famous as The Governess on the ITV quiz show “The Chase,” Anne Hegerty has gained a lot more confidence with her outstanding 42 pounds weight loss. After spending just three weeks in the Australian camp of “I’m a Celebrity,” 14 pounds instantly vanished, and that was only the beginning.
We believe she could achieve this because of the healthy food she had access to on the show and the constant moving around, which is enough exercise in itself. Hegerty made two appearances in 2021 on the long-running reality TV show “Loose Women.”
Kevin Smith, Lost 50 Lbs
Kevin Smith made his debut with a comedy film titled Clerks, and ever since then, the TV personality has been dedicated to his craft and his loyal fans. Sadly in 2018, Smith suffered a heart attack because he was trying to lose weight and work simultaneously.
Laying aside some of the routines that seemed to take a toll on him, the comedian settled for a rather unlikely way to achieve his weight loss goal. Kevin consumed a vegan and low sugar diet and included Lipitor, which he used to curb bad cholesterol and inflammation.
Mo’Nique, Lost 100 Lbs
The Oscar-winning comedian, Mo’Nique was in the news for dropping more than 80 pounds! She thanked her family for keeping her motivated during her weight loss journey. Mo’Nique, during an interview, said that going through such a major body transformation requires absolute control, willpower, and diligence.
In 2018, the actress shared an emotional heart-to-heart video chat with her fans about her weight loss quest. And in her social media posts, Mo’Nique shared her off-shoulder pics for her followers. She celebrated it as an impressive fitness milestone that she always fantasized about achieving!
John Goodman, Lost 100 Lbs
Television actor John Goodman has one of the most remarkable weight loss stories in Hollywood. John used to weigh almost 400 pounds. When he realized this was not a good path, he made some significant changes to his lifestyle and has since lost 100 pounds.
John gave up drinking, eating sugary foods, rehashed his diet, and hired a personal fitness trainer to help him work out. He still adheres to a strict meal plan of lean meats, vegetables, fruits, and protein shakes. John also stays active by working out six days a week. Now that’s commitment!
Melissa McCarthy, Lost 75 Lbs
Melissa McCarthy has done memorable roles in Mike & Molly, Bridesmaids, Spy, and The Heat, but her constant filming didn’t make her overweight. In an interview, the actress revealed that she was not overly plump as a kid, but started gaining weight when she stopped taking care of her diet.
After McCarthy’s brilliant performance as Sookie St. James in Gilmore Girls, she took a break from acting and started a physician-supervised all-liquid diet. This regime helped her lose an astonishing 75 lbs in four months! McCarthy decided to pay it forward by making her diet plan public and urging other people to follow suit.
Mariah Carey, Lost 30 Lbs
Mariah Carey, the iconic singer, had gastric sleeve surgery in the autumn of 2020 and has shed 30 pounds since then. She is on a specific healthy diet and is exercising every week after her operation, inspiring her fans to follow her lead.
Mariah gained 70 pounds after she had her children, but the artist was able to come back to her original weight in some time. She also tried standard dieting and exercise before the operation. Although the singing sensation has always looked fantastic, no matter how much she weighed, Mariah now feels at ease in her skin.
Ricki Lake, Lost 130 Lbs
Did you ever wonder what the “pleasantly plump” Tracy Turnblad from Hairspray would look like if she lost all that weight? Well, wonder no more! Actor and former talk show host Ricki Lake has since shared her struggles with weight loss, and she has been victorious.
Ricki first reduced her size at age 24 when she lost over 100 pounds, only to gain it back after quite some time. Eventually, the celebrity managed to lose and maintain a healthy size, and now remains at a delicate 120 lbs and intends to stay there for a long time.
Angela Deem, Lost 100 Lbs
For fans of the reality series 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Angela Deem’s weight loss journey is a familiar topic. It was featured in the show how much the reality star wanted to shed some pounds. So naturally, many became curious about the status of her quest for a lighter body.
Deem kicked-start the weight loss process with gastric bypass surgery, which was successful, and fans witnessed her get slimmer before their eyes. Months after the first few pounds lost by the star, she has now lost a whopping 100 lbs. On top of her slimmer body, the famous “meemaw” reportedly also had some cosmetic surgery done.
