The world’s system is tolerant of quite a lot – from character flaws to actions that challenge the legal justice system. There are quite a few things you could get away with – except for being overweight. You certainly can't escape getting noticed for being overweight, especially in Hollywood where a daily workout and a nutritionist on your payroll is a need as basic as trying not to become irrelevant. In an industry where even gaining a few pounds is the equivalent of career disaster, is it any surprise that celebrities seem more than willing to dig deep into their bank accounts rather than being forced into early retirement? Some would even argue that it is expensive, but there’s no such thing as too expensive where your body is concerned – or so we thought.

Liz Torres - Rumored Gastric Bypass Treatment

We're not sure how Liz Torres did it, but her dramatic weight loss has been the talk of the town ever since she displayed her new self on the Netflix reboot of Gilmore Girls. A few online blogs have speculated that she may have undergone a gastric bypass procedure, which does result in a face that looks visibly aged. Although that's possible, we can't say for sure. In any case, things appear to be moving in her favor as she has been cast in an upcoming film called Chick Flick.

Janelle Brown - Diet

We remember Janelle Brown from her appearances on the reality show Sister Wives, and she was clearly overweight back then. But now, Brown is a person completely transformed through a healthy diet and lots of physical activities. She details some aspects of her journey on her own online blog called Strive with Janelle, which she keeps up-to-date on a regular basis. Brown is now recognized as a New York Times bestselling author for her novels, including Watch Me Disappear. She is also a journalist and often writes essays for leading publications.

Theresa Caputo - Regular Workout & Low-Carb Diet

Theresa Caputo struggled with a couple of extra pounds for a long time before she decided it was time to start losing weight. The Long Island Medium star shared her experience with the fans, explaining how a proper diet program and exercise on a regular basis can help you feel amazing and produce a gorgeous body figure. Caputo changed her eating habits, managing to drop just over 30 pounds, and she looks stunning! We bet she never have thought she would look this gorgeous in her tight, leather dress, yet he she is, gorgeous like never before!

RACHAEL RAY - DIET & EXERCISE

It seems that many Hollywood celebrities, at some point in their life, have battled the bulge. One of those celebrities is cooking show host Rachael Ray who has embarked on a weight loss journey not once, but several times. After deciding to follow a low-carb diet and regular exercise regimen, she was able to drop to two sizes. However, sometime later, she regained around 37 lbs and the battle started once again. Recently, she revealed that she is satisfied with her current weight, but in the future, she might think about going on a weight loss journey again.

KELLY CLARKSON - BALANCED DIET

American Idol 2002 winner and singer Kelly Clarkson captured our hearts when she won the popular music competition. Kelly's victory brought her the opportunity to record her debut album. The album was a true success, but the singer wasn't quite as happy about her weight as she was with her success. Fortunately, after getting engaged, she was determined to get back into shape and shed those additional pounds. Thanks to a balanced diet and her extreme motivation, she was able to drop 40 pounds and you definitely agree with us about her being a stunner.

Teresa Giudice - Prison Yoga

Would you look at that slim body! If you know Teresa you would know that she spent a year in jail and she tried to get it over with as soon as possible. Hey, if you're stuck in prison, you might as well use your time to burn some calories! Besides sticking with a strict diet she started to work out around three times a day, and do a LOT of yoga. Perhaps, being in prison isn't so bad..? (It is).No one would ever recommend going to that extreme in order to drop a few pounds.

Amber Riley – Diet & Exercise

Before dropping two dress sizes, Glee star Amber Riley was a confident young lady regardless of her weight. But a visit to her doctor saw her contemplating weight loss methods – and while she never considered a lap band or another type of operation, it was an open suggestion if routine diet and exercise didn’t work. But it did, and Amber is two sizes down, and a few more to go. Judging by her before and after photos, the transformation is evident. Way to go, Amber! We hope that she’ll maintain her figure.

Keely Shaye Smith - Diet & Exercise

Keely Shaye Smith is known for being an actress and former model, and is married to "James Bond" actor Pierce Brosnan. After having kids, Keely started gaining weight like many women do. She tried fad diets, but managed to lose 100 lbs by following a healthier diet. We don’t know if she would have liked to add some exercise in her daily routine, but it would have helped her a lot.

Rebel Wilson - Diet & Exercise

Rebel Wilson truly made us believe in how talented she is as an actress and comedian. She is another star who was successful in shedding off some pounds, thanks to an intense fitness regimen and diet program. She is said to have lost over 35 pounds already. She also gets help from all-natural supplements that speed up her metabolism.

Tyra Banks – Diet & Exercise

After blatantly insisting that she didn’t care for anybody’s opinion about her weight, Tyra Banks appeared to have had a change of heart with a recent 30-pound weight loss that had the retired model strutting a catwalk similar to her days on the runway. She dished in an interview with Shape magazine, that she had gone months without a single workout – but fearing her tendency to yo-yo in weight, she decided to hire a personal trainer and nutritionist who instructed her to write down everything she eats. Celebrity nutritionists earn a lot from consulting, so giving good nutrition counsel is a basic expectation.

Ricky Lake - Diet & Exercise

Ricky Lake made her Tinsel town debut as a 300-pound teenager in Hairspray. Shortly after, Lake made a particularly aggressive weight loss attempt by embarking on the Atkins diet estimated to now cost $100.52 per week. The result was a 100 pounds weight loss. Unfortunately, the yo-yo dieter is known to experience dramatic changes in her weight. In fact, her most recent ordeal saw the TV host gaining weight after divorcing husband Christian Evans. She signed up for a workout regimen in an attempt to lose it. Only, this time, she is less enthusiastic about it, even though the actress-producer is reportedly paying quite some money for it.

Perez Hilton – Diet & Exercise

After making a living from poking around celebrities' lives, gossip blogger Perez Hilton became a subject of public scrutiny as a result of his weight. It wasn’t long before the mockery got to him, and he decided to take steps towards achieving a healthier weight. Only, his means of making said dramatic weight loss is still highly controversial. Ten years later,  speculations suggest that his body shows signs of liposuction, but Hilton insists that he achieved his current weight via exercise and dieting. He reveals that he supplemented his fitness regimen with a meal delivery service which also improved his chances significantly.

Sally Struthers– Unknown Methods

Sally Struthers may have gotten off to a good start as a 23-year-old starring alongside Jack Nicholson in Five Easy Pieces, but the actress hasn’t managed to age too well. Things began to spiral for Struthers when the once 120-pound blonde bombshell began piling on the pounds until she reached the 200+ mark. Now 70, the odds of weight loss aren’t exactly in her favor, however, the actress seems to be making a few strides and losing weight nonetheless. Her methods have remained undisclosed, but Struthers seems like she lost a decent 50 pounds since embarking on her fitness journey. And provided it is not a pointer to looming drug abuse – we really can’t complain.

 

Miranda Lambert - Diet & Exercise

Miranda Lambert is known as a famous country singer who used to be married to Blake Shelton. When she and Blake filed for a divorce, Miranda started to devote her time to her weight loss. She was able to lose 25 pounds just through dieting and working out consistently. Miranda’s story shares many similarities with Khloe Kardashian’s and it seems that burning calories is the only way towards a revenge body! However, the end of a marriage should not be your only motivation. If you feel like hitting the gym, you should do it!

 

Jonah Hill – Diet & Exercise

Jonah Hill skipped the $23,000 gastric sleeve surgery procedure and dived straight into being a hunk. He credits his weight loss to eating clean and only taking recommendations from a nutritionist whose consulting sessions must run into thousands of dollars. But if you have a bank account the size of a world-renowned actor/comedian, money is not an issue. Overall, his weight loss is proving to be awe-inspiring for fans, and it must certainly add a plus to that acting portfolio of his. Jonah’s transformation is certainly jaw-dropping! What do you think?

 

 

Jennifer Ellison - Diet

Jennifer Ellison had a great struggle with her weight loss ever since, so she finally came to the conclusion that she had to do something about it and fast. She went on an extreme diet program called the 800-calories-per-day Cambridge Diet and it surely showed some great results. Her transformation is more than evident and her figure looks more feminine and gorgeous than ever! We should always take into account that Jennifer is a mother of three, so it must have been difficult for her to keep a sleek figure!

 

Michael Moore - Weight Loss Spa

Lots of celebrities are too lazy to enter a strict diet program or exercise routine because it may not be their thing. Lucky for them, new and modern ways to lose weight are aplenty if you have the money for it. Michael Moore was wealthy enough to go to a weight loss spa to shed some pounds. Reportedly, the spa costs no less than $4,500 a week. For some of us this amount of money is way more than what we would spend on vacation but given Michael’s results, it sounds tempting.

Rachel Frederickson - Diet & Exercise

Most of those who come out on the show The Biggest Loser really shock people with their weight loss transformation. Rachel Frederickson, who was a winner on the show,  came out as a whole new different person after her stint. Although her workout routine and diet program weren't easy, they paid off in the end. Having a look at her before and after photos, you can really tell the difference. Rachel looks as if she never had an extra pound on her and she must be feeling healthier than ever!

Missy Elliot - Diet & Exercise

Missy Elliot didn't need to put much focus on her weight loss before because she was dominating charts through her music. But when her doctor advised her that her weight could lead to a stroke, she turned her life around and went on a balanced diet and regular exercise. She looks better and slimmer these days and looking at her photos we are wondering where the rest of her went! We bet we wouldn’t recognize her if she walked past us on the street. We would definitely notice her, though, as she looks fabulous!

 

Anthony Anderson - Diet

Anthony Anderson always loved food, but ever since he was sadly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, he knew he had to change his eating habits even though that meant saying goodbye to some of his most loved dishes and, of course, junk food. His weight loss program consisted of a healthy diet plus regular exercise to burn down any excessive weight. His efforts paid up nicely and so he later was able to lose around 47 pounds. Now, he is looking better than ever and totally elegant in his bright-colored suit.

 

Britney Spears - Diet & Exercise

Like any other normal person in the universe, Britney Spears also experienced struggles with weight loss. She once gained a lot of weight because of her serious mental breakdown when it is obvious that she was not very kind to herself or her figure. She later came to realize that she had to pay attention to her diet and workout program. These days, she is back to her popstar physique and we can't wait for what she has in store for her career. She definitely is Britney we used to love!

Matthew McConaughey - Diet & Exercise

It's a fact that Matthew McConaughey has been always known for his nice physique and washboard abs. But for the movie Dallas Buyers Club, he had to undergo extreme weight loss for his role which requires him to be stick-thin. After the movie had finished (for which he won several awards, by the way), he went back to his normal and healthy physique.

Chrissy Teigen - Diet & Exercise

When Chrissy Teigen was pregnant, she had a lot of baby weight. After giving birth, she jumped right away into a weight loss program to get rid of the excess weight. Well, she definitely had to get back to her former, hot figure! Her personal trainer helped her with her exercise and simple diet program. She's definitely one hot momma!

Jason Segel - Diet & Exercise

Jason Segel, who a lot of you may know from the show How I Met Your Mother, once came to a realization that he was already becoming too heavy after seeing pictures of himself that his assistant took. He later said goodbye to his chubby physique, thanks to a strict diet program and consistent exercises. And look at him now!

Sherri Shepherd - Diet & Exercise

Sherri Shepherd is another known name that decided to enter a weight loss program after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. The View co-host remained public about her journey and showed how much a balanced diet and the right exercise can make such a difference. She went from 197 pounds to 157 pounds and claims she doesn't need her diabetes medication anymore.

 

Penn Jillette - Diet

Penn Jillette is a famous magician who had to undergo a weight loss program after his doctors told him that his heart had a 90% blockage. With the aid of consistent workouts and a healthy diet program like the potato diet, he was able to drop around 100 pounds and say hello to a healthier life. He certainly worked his magic!

Pauline Quirke - Diet & Exercise

Pauline Quirke is a famous English actress who is most known for her role in Birds of A Feather. She didn't need to undergo any surgery to achieve weight loss because she had her eyes set on her target. She just went on an extreme diet and exercise which later got her to go down to a size 12 from a surprising size 28.

Renée Zellweger - Diet

While other actresses dread the hardships of weight loss, Renée Zellweger actually had to put on some extra pounds for the Bridget Jones Diary movies. After filming was done for all the movies, she went on a strict diet that was recommended by her nutritionist and was able to achieve her desired body. Renee is a sweetheart and we love her no matter her body weight.

Kate Winslet - Diet & Exercise

Kate Winslet shared that her whole journey in maintaining her physique was quite a struggle and she really had to follow rigorous diets and exercises for a very long time. She also put on some extra pounds during her pregnancy but was able to lose it all after because of her weight loss program. Her figure nowadays is as stunning as her acting talent.

Robbie Williams - Exercise

Robbie Williams made a lot of women go head over heels for him back then, but he once lost track of his fitness and later gained a lot of weight. He decided to enter a weight loss program right before his Take That Reunion European tour. With the help of a strict diet, exercise, and yoga, he is looking better than ever these days.

Sara Rue - Diet & Exercise

A lot of you might know Sara Rue for appearing in shows like Less Than Perfect and Shedding for the Wedding. If you compare the photos above, you'd notice her weight loss journey showed amazing results and this was all thanks to her daily diet program and fitness routine. It is amazing what a few lifestyle changes can do to your figure!

Valerie Bertinelli - Diet & Exercise

Valerie Bertinelli is known for Hot in Cleveland and back in 2007, she sadly gained around 172 pounds. She later realized how much she needed to start focusing on her weight loss. She then started dieting every day and doing different fat-burning exercises. These days, she looks unrecognizable from how she used to appear and we can’t but congratulate her.

Timothy Spall - Diet & Exercise

Timothy Spall is most remembered for Alice Through the Looking Glass and the Harry Potter movies. A lot of fans were shocked from his dramatic weight loss when they saw him at the Venice Film Festival. He claims he just had a strict diet and regular exercise to achieve his new physique and we can’t help but wonder how difficult yet effective his ways are.

Sam Smith - Diet & Exercise

Sam Smith is way different from how he used to look like when he first entered the industry. The famous singer was very focused on losing weight that he was actually able to lose 14 pounds in just two weeks. Although he was rumored to undergo a gastric sleeve surgery, he claims his weight loss transformation was all thanks to dieting and exercising.

Jimmy Kimmel - Diet

Jimmy Kimmel, who is a famous TV host, is another name who had a hard time starting his weight loss journey. He didn't opt for strict healthy diets but he rather went on a calorie deprivation and later starved himself to lose some pounds. Although he dropped a lot of weight, we don't  recommend this kind of weight loss program since there is a lot of diets out there that would satisfy your appetite and still keep you healthy.

Kelly Osbourne - Diet & Exercise

Only a few people can feel the sting of cyber bullying in the capacity that Kelly Osbourne did, and her weight, as well as her erratic behavior, didn’t help matters much. Tired of the mockery, Kelly began to take specific measures towards achieving a healthier weight. In the wake of a seizure, a Lyme disease diagnosis, and appearing on Dancing With the Stars, the TV host decided to engage in a lot more exercise and pay closer attention to her nutrition. And although she isn’t known for having one particular nutritionist or personal trainer, she managed to record a weight loss of up to 70 pounds.

Drew Carey – Diet & Exercise

Until being diagnosed with Type 2 diagnosis, Drew Carey described his weight as ‘funny’ – but the diagnosis didn’t leave the award winning comedian laughing, or anyone else for that matter. While he could easily afford it, Carey passed on gastric bypass or a gastric sleeve surgery and threw himself into exercise and nutrition. Today, he is making people laugh without the bulge to back him up.

Fergie - Low-Calorie Diet

No one would have thought that Fergie would pack on the pounds as quickly as she did. But as soon as the frontwoman of the alternative hip-hop group, Black-Eyed Peas had a ‘bun in the oven,’ the 42-year-old needed a few more calories to keep up her strength and weight gain was inevitable. Determined to get back to her pre-baby body, the singer adopted a 1,200-calorie diet crafted by Carrie Wiatt and managed to record a weight loss of 20 pounds in a few short months. To keep future weight gain in check, Fergie maintains a 1,600 calorie diet plan and a daily exercise routine that keeps cellulite away. If she also manages to stay clear of her past crystal meth addiction, and consequent rehab – we daresay that her athletic frame would be around a long time.

 Kelly Price - Eating Right & Workouts

Kelly Price gives some of the credit for her weight loss to the least likely person – God. But considering her fitness journey began at a critical weight of 300 pounds, perhaps the singer did get some supernatural intervention. Price is just as popular for her incredible singing voice as she is for her yo-yo weight. As soon as she started paying some attention to nutrition and exercise, however, she got an instant facelift – and it turned out, all she needed to curb her food addiction was a little bit of clean eating to retrain her palate. Fans think that she seemed to have lost her lack of self-esteem while losing weight, and we agree.

JOJO - 500-Calorie-Per-Day Diet

Being a teenage pop star had its perks no doubt, but JoJo could argue that they came at a steep price. At only 17, the rising star was attached to a recording company with such high expectations that the singer was placed on the contentious HCG diet that only permitted a measly 500 calories per day and a slew of hormone injections which was purportedly aimed at curbing possible weight gain. Fearing she was battling drug addiction, her mother was forced to intervene only to find out that the size 4 17-year-old was in fact gunning for more weight loss. An older and more assertive JoJo now insists that being curvy isn’t such a bad idea after all.

 Joell Ortiz - Diet & Workout

If Joell Ortiz had known the tremendous impact weight loss would have had on his life and overall lifestyle, we bet the rapper would have begun his fitness journey sooner. In 2014, Oritz incorporated a workout routine and diet plan into his daily schedule, which saw him drop 50 pounds in only a few months. Losing weight proved to be the final part of the rapper's grass to grace story – in the end, the once overweight no-name rapper from a neighborhood full of drugs and addicts became a world-renowned rapper with a smoldering bod to boot.

 Styles P - Fruits & Low-Carb Diet

Rapper and founder of D-Block Records, David Styles (also known as Styles P) wasn’t always as athletically built as he currently is, but his transition began when he started to pay some mind to his nutrition and fitness. Styles overhauled his diet to lower his carbohydrate and overall calorie intake and upped the ante with fruit and vegetables - instantly improving his metabolism and hastening weight loss. And considering the rapper already set himself apart as an artist with no vices and doesn’t promote the use of drugs, the weight loss set him on an even higher pedestal.

David Banner - Low-Calorie Diet & Workout

After growing up eating a variety of comfort foods, David Banner developed a mild addiction for the ‘unhealthy’ and it was only a matter of time until he ballooned to 200+ pounds and became diagnosed with sleep apnea and high blood pressure. Thankfully, the southern-born rapper didn’t take being overweight lying down. Armed with a low-calorie diet, a fitness routine that demanded four to five days a week of some rigorous diet, and an unrelenting will to succeed, Banner went from not to hot in little or no time.

 The Veronicas - Diet Plan

While their recent online feud seems to have taken over headlines, the Origliasso sisters Jessica and Lisa were once two peas in a pod whose biggest concern was losing weight. Despite being at an appropriate weight at 20-years old, the girls adopted controversial weight loss procedures to lose weight, but rather than broaden their followership, it led to endless speculations about the girls' possible drug addiction and potential trips to the drug rehab. The musicians have, thankfully, bounced back from their unhealthy weight.

Teairra Mari - Limiting Food Choices

It wasn’t until improving the quality of her nutrition and curbing her alcohol abuse that Teairra Mari realized that she had been shortchanging herself. The reality star battled with a placid alcohol addiction which combined with her poor diet, made her a walking time bomb. She began losing weight soon after adopting a workout routine and diet program that proved to be one part alcohol rehab and two parts lifestyle overhaul. Today, she is a slimmer and gorgeous version of her former self.

 Sasha Pieterse – Dancing With The Stars

Pretty Little Liars veteran Sasha Pieterse experienced the nightmare of most teenage and young adult women – weight gain. Unfortunately, Pieterse could hardly manage her weight gain since it was spurred on by her Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome diagnosis. Halfway through Dancing with the Stars, however, the actress managed to shed 37 lbs of the 70 lbs she gained over the period of two years since her diagnosis. On the plus side, she has managed to make this progress with minimum influence from drugs and chemical stimulants. It turns out that all she needed was a little diet change and a reason to kick up her heels.

Kathleen Turner– Restricted Diet

Katheleen Turner is a long way off from what she used to look like at the beginning of her career 30 years ago, but the actress has no interest in returning to her former frame. However, following her diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, Turner started seeking non-chemical, drug-free methods to improve her lifestyle, and weight loss made the cut. Alongside limiting her alcohol intake (which curbs the likelihood of alcohol abuse), the actress also adopted a cleaner diet and a routine of mild exercise. Interestingly, she has been recently recorded to say that she would like to fall in love. Well, losing weight can sure set your confidence to ‘high.'

Ashley Johnston – The Biggest Loser

At nearly 500 pounds, Ashley Johnston was a walking cesspool of weight gain related diseases, and choosing to join The Biggest Loser was merely a Hail Mary pass for the overweight woman. Following the strict demands of the nutritionist and fitness trainer of the reality show, Johnston managed to begin losing weight until she had dropped an impressive 183 pounds over the course of 18 weeks - which culminated to more 40% of her initial body weight. Alongside coming in second place in the entire season, the process seems to have nipped her food addiction in the bud. And if she manages to stay off a few exigencies like sugar and alcohol, she should be enjoying her body for a while.

Jack Black– Diet & Exercise

Like most comical actors, Jack Black’s career success has very little to do with his physical features – and his smoldering brown eyes have always provided sufficient distraction from his overall frame. Following the dramatic weight loss transformation of Kyle Gass, who starred as his Tenacious D bandmate, the actor became keen on losing weight and smoothening out his own edges. While a few news outlets suggest that Black’s fitness journey is aided by some weight loss drugs, the actor insists otherwise, stating that he adopted a low-calorie diet of mostly raisins and high-intensity workouts that feature a variety of exercises. Well, good for him.

John Bradley-West– Unknown

Very few actors are as fortunate to get a career break as soon as Bradley-West did, but it came with its own burdens; like a Game of Thrones fan asking the star why he wasn’t losing weight despite the grueling requirements of the movie series. Despite defending his size and putting the fat-shamers in their rightful place, Bradley-West has been observed to be gliding down the scale with small pockets of weight loss since beginning the series and is now an estimated 30 pounds lighter than he was. Keep this up and he might be in the running for our affection along with onscreen heartthrob Jon Snow.

Kevin James – High Protein Meals & Mixed Martial Arts

Kevin James is an actor with a personality almost as large as his frame. But after snagging the role of a teacher in Here Comes the Boom, he adopted a high protein diet and high-intensity fitness routine that left him in his overall best shape. After dropping 85 lbs in preparation for the movie,  James didn’t have much luck keeping the weight off and gained it all back after completing the movie. Although he is a decent 40 pound lighter currently, the actor is a long way off from his chiseled onscreen frame. But considering it could be worse – and could have been battling drug abuse and shuttling in and out of drug rehab rather than just battling food addiction, his weight gain doesn’t seem so bad after all.

John Daly– Diet

While a few people might argue against the safety of his chosen diet, John Daly brags that it has yielded such astounding results that his nutrition preferences are well worth the risk. The pro golfer has known to experience fluctuations in weight gain and weight loss, until being faced with college golf where he was then asked to lose weight in order to proceed. Daly was said to have adopted an unusual alcohol and popcorn diet that led to an impressive (but unsafe) weight loss of 67 pounds in less than three months. And while we have to admit that this is an impressive feat, a looming alcohol addiction and a possible trip to alcohol rehab should deter any sensible person.

Rikishi– Calorie Counting & Cardio

Before announcing that he had joined the popular workout chain, Planet Fitness, Rikishi was a 425-pound man who made giant strides in WWE and did very little of anything else. The wrestling champ addressed his weight gain by incorporating routine cardio and low-calorie meals into his lifestyle. So far, he has managed to drop a decent 125 pounds on his diet and fitness routine and seems like he's gunning for even more progress.  Provided his career isn’t ruined by drug addiction or multiple rehab visits,  the weight loss might mean bigger things for his career.

Bruce Vilanch – Lap Band Surgery

Bruce Vilanch’s best shot at a decent weight was always weight loss surgery, but even that seemed to fail after gaining most of the weight he lost from Celebrity Fit Club which he admits was the result of a mild food addiction he picked up while on the set of the musical, Hairspray. Now 68 years old, the comedian is keen on keeping his weight only slightly above 200 pounds with the help of the lap-band surgery he had. Vilanch may have lost 100 pounds post-procedure, but we can only hope he keeps it off. After all, weight loss surgery costs far too much to be repeated multiple times.

Debra DiGiovanni – Diet

All Debra DiGiovanni needed to be spurred on to embark on her fitness journey was a doctor’s report. The nearly 300-pound comedian insists that she isn’t the least bit in a hurry to suit status quo but is taking a few proactive measures to become slimmer since she is at risk of obesity-related conditions. With a diet that simply consists of smaller portions than she is used to,  DiGiovanni of original Italian descent is 30 pounds lighter and strutting her stuff on the big stage.

Sharon Rooney – Cardio

Unlike a few others on this list, Sharon Rooney didn’t record tremendous amounts of weight loss and insists that she has always looked the same – so, it has never been an issue. That notwithstanding, the My Mad Fat Diary star is a few pounds lighter than she used to be while filming the series, and sources say it is because the actress incorporated some light cardio into her daily schedule, and began cutting out on takeout food. Surprisingly, she has managed to keep both drug addiction and alcohol addiction at bay, and for a plus size actress her age that is certainly a feat worth commending.

Margo Martindale – Undisclosed

Following her Emmy nomination, Margo Martindale surprised adoring fans by announcing that she would be going on a diet. In the months prior to her appearance at the Emmy Awards and nomination for the award, the actress seemed to ignore the weight gain, insisting that she was confident in her own skin. But surprisingly, she began losing weight following the aforementioned announcement and is a decent 20 pounds lighter than she used to be.  The transformation may be the result of cutting back on alcohol or carbohydrate, but the actress hasn’t disclosed how she managed the weight loss.

Aidy Bryant – Exercise

After being cast on SNL, Aiden Bryant was determined to make her mark without losing weight or looking like every other member of the cast. Eventually, however, the actress and comedian had to figure out a way to resolve her dilemma that would also help her improve her health. What began as a light exercise and minor diet changes soon translated into a 15-pound weight loss, that accentuated her curves and put a curb on her Real Housewives addiction. Two birds, one stone – certainly doesn’t get any better than that.

George Wendt

After an incredible run in the 11-season ‘90s series Cheers, most people probably expected George Wendt to develop an alcohol addiction and end up in alcohol and drug rehab, but things took an unexpected turn. The actor seemed to begin battling a food addiction that saw him balloon to a critical 330 pounds. Thankfully, he managed to tackle the rapid weight gain with a few diet changes and workout routines with which he dropped a whopping 75 pounds. And while he may still want to make a few additional changes, everyone agrees that the actor has slimmed down quite well.

Eric Stonestreet – Exercise

Eric Stonestreet’s biggest weight loss breakthrough began when he incorporated some light jogging into his exercise routine. He states that while playing drums (somewhat) aggressively burns some fat, it surely doesn’t do enough for him to rely on. After turning 40, Stonestreet set out to lose some weight and in a short amount of time was down by 35 pounds which he eventually added an additional 30 pounds to, in the following months. He sure looks like a bag of money these days.

Elle King – Cutting out Alcohol

When she debuted her weight loss in the reality TV series Say Yes To The Dress, viewers were quite stunned.  It turned out that in preparation for her wedding, the singer decided to begin losing weight so as to fit into the perfect dress for her big day. By the spring of 2017, Elle King had practically curbed her mild alcohol addiction by cutting out Red Bull and Vodka which were integral parts of her everyday diet. At that time, she lost between 10-20 pounds, which is no mean feat considering the crazy lifestyle of TV stars...

Amber Portwood – Diet, Exercise & Surgery

Amber Portwood’s weight loss transformation was the result of tremendous amounts of efforts on the part of the reality star. Between the diet changes that she started making in 2015, the routine exercise, and fitness guidance, she was guaranteed to begin losing weight even before her surgery attempts. Portwood eventually made a remarkable transition from her initial 171 pounds to a decent 135 pounds on account of her diet and exercise. Now, with the surgery smoothing things out, Portwood looks nothing like she used to.

Ashley Fink – Diet & Exercise

On the set of Glee, Ashley Fink was easily the one of the heaviest, weighing approximately 300 pounds and a quite prone to obesity-related diseases. Since ending the show, Fink seems to have taken a keen interest in losing weight, and following her current diet and exercise routine, has dropped a decent 80 pounds. She credits her weight loss to her low-calorie diet and high-intensity cardio, as well as her unrelenting determination to succeed rather than turn to addiction as is the case for most overweight, bullied people her age.

Hillary Scott – Diet & Exercise

Most people who suffered a similar tragedy to Lady Antebellum may have turned to drugs or alcohol to find solace and probably ended up in rehab. But the award-winning Hilary Scott clearly had other ideas. Following her 2015 miscarriage, the singer adopted a diet plan and exercise regimen that saw her drop the baby weight she gained while pregnant and then some. Today, she is a gorgeous 135-pound beauty and smolders everytime she walks onto the red carpet like the weight loss success story that she is.

Meghan Trainor – Diet & Exercise

Since debuting with her track nearly four years ago, Meghan Trainor has been on the fast track to success with no chance of stopping – and there have been a few changes along the way. The songstress who was once described as a ‘fat whale’ is anything but these days after embarking on a fitness and diet program with her boyfriend with whom she is currently engaged to be married. The singer may have been All about that Bass at one time, but Trainor is a long way off from ‘bass’ if you ask us.

Queen Latifah – Diet & Exercise

Even though Queen Latifah has been forthright about her love for curves and by extension, her body, the Joyful Noise star embarked on a weight loss journey that saw her losing about 10% of her body weight. But while we can agree that her kickboxing trainer and weekly subscription to Jenny Craig might be attempts at getting healthy, we doubt that it's the same for the $12,000 procedure she undertook to have her breasts reduced. Granted, she admits it was during a wave of depression – but the surgery and exercise-induced weight loss blend in so nicely that we have to wonder if it wasn’t all planned out at the onset.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi – Diet & Exercise

John Goodman – Diet & Exercise

Being considered the ‘fat funny man’ of Hollywood came at a dire cost. But John Goodman was suddenly not having any of it any longer. He swung into action after he realized that the title was interfering with his well-being. With a personal trainer and well-balanced diet, he lost a whopping 100 pounds. The good thing was that his choice of weight loss saved him some money (by not having a gastric bypass or sleeve surgery), but the hitch seems to be that things slowed down on his end since the weight loss.

Seth Rogen – Diet & Exercise

Seth Rogen was also considered a funny fat guy not too long ago. All of that changed after he was cast as the leading man in NBC’s The Green Hornet and he needed to morph into a superhero ASAP. He took a rather drastic step of hiring a personal trainer and following a strict diet regimen that saw him lose 30 pounds in only ten days. Now, he looks like a lot of things, but ‘funny-fat-guy’ isn’t one of them.

 

Dr. Dre - Diet & Exercise

Rap demi-god and producer Dr. Dre is looking just better than average these days. At 52, you would expect his body to be taking a downward toll – but it is quite the opposite. The producer was motivated by a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis he received in 2003 to get in shape, and he has managed to stay trim to date. Somehow, he has also convinced his brother, Warren G, to adopt his fitness and nutrition regimen, on whose account his doctor refers to him as a 31-year-old. And it was an offer his brother could hardly resist.

Jerry Ferrara - Diet & Exercise

It is unclear why ‘Turtle’ decided to join the Flab to Fab train, but The Entourage fans were glad to watch Jerry Ferrara and his character on the show make a healthy transformation right on the screen. The actor and comedian recounted that it took getting on a scale and realizing that he was 203 pounds at only 5’7 to get him thinking about getting in shape. He began working with a nutritionist and trainer, and in no time, was a 55-pound lighter version of his former self.

Kim Kardashian - Diet & Exercise

Kim Kardashian has gained prominence for her curves – but for all the right reasons. However, following the pregnancy and birth of her two kids with rapper Kanye West, she recorded tremendous amounts of weight gain which she didn’t hesitate to lose. And trust the Kardashian sister not to throw money around on a weight loss surgery. Beauty is only achieved via one medium with the Kardashians – relentless hard work.

Zach Galifianakis – Diet & Exercise

Fat-guy comedians are the life and bane of Hollywood sit-coms, and Zach Galifianakis was no different. These days, he’s barely recognizable in a brand new body that is anything like the fat suit he carted around for years. The comedian admits that his transformation came at a small cost – he gave up alcohol and sweet treats and signed up for an advanced weight loss training program that saw Galifianakis shape up to become quite the hunk.

Alec Baldwin – Diet & Exercise

Most dramatic of all the weight loss stories is perhaps that of actor Alec Baldwin, who only dropped his sugar and lost 30 pounds as a result. That seems like a much better plan for those who cannot afford thousands of dollars in gastric sleeve surgery or gastric bypass. It didn’t come without a minor health scare, however, but not everyone has to wait till they are pre-diabetic to drop the sugar and incorporate moderate exercise into their daily routine.

50 Cent - Diet & Exercise

While weight loss is often considered a step in the right direction for most stars, 50 Cent's dramatic weight loss stirred up some concerns and left a few tongues wagging. Thankfully, the rapper dropped the unhealthy amount of weight only for his role in the Things Fall Apart movie, where he was cast as a cancer-stricken football player. He then snapped back to his former healthy form. But who wouldn’t want to be paid a lot of money for their weight loss? We certainly won’t mind at all.

Ruben Studdard – Diet & Exercise

After gaining fame for winning the second season of American Idol, R&B star Ruben Studdard was compelled into a weight loss program by a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis.

LAUREN ALAINA - LOW-CARB DIET

Amazingly talented singer Lauren Alaina rose to prominence after appearing on the popular show, American Idol. We absolutely love her singing skills, so no one was surprised when Lauren released her debut album Wildflower after leaving the show.

Congratulations, Lauren! She went even further and shed 15 more pounds. We can't wait to see her on the stage again.

Courtney Love’s weight issues are somewhat unusual. The singer’s yo-yo weight gain–weight loss reputation is one that precedes her and provides insight into her most current struggles. Weight gain often suggested overeating and depression, and weight loss – drug addiction. Lately, however, the infamous widow of Kurt Cobain has managed to keep things a tad steady on account of remarks from concerned fans and family. With any luck, we should also see her dizzying persona also become more balanced as well.

But while he still eats 2,000 calories on his new diet program, the diet plan features cleaner options and includes exercise as part of his activity. Weight loss surgery isn’t the only way after all.
