He ended up ripped enough to warrant a photo shoot on the Australian Men’s Health magazine.

A living proof that an active life is not enough for a slim figure, Monica Seles was a tennis pro and one of the best players in the world until a mentally disturbed man stabbed her in 1993. Her mental health, already shaking due to the pressures of stardom, cracked and she developed an eating disorder, which led her to gain weight.

Caitlin Van Zandt -90 pounds

Caitlin Van Zandt has gained a lot of fame with her sweet role in The Sopranos.

She improved both her health and looks after losing 90 pounds with surgical help.

Nicole Sullivan – 38 pounds

For actress Nicole Sullivan, star of King Of Queens, weight gain was all due to pregnancy.

For Oscar Isaac’s portrayal of brilliant genius Nathan Bateman in Ex Machina he really had to lose any sort of body fat and get physically strong. For the role, he had a personal trainer where he did some cardio, lots of weight training and boxing. He also ate really clean and a little more than usual because of all the exercise he was doing.

Winter was a child star and we all know how child stars are under constant scrutiny and pressure. This led to Winter becoming depressed and experiencing other health issues as well. It was recently revealed that Ariel Winter was taking medication which led to a considerable weight gain but due to the health issues she could not stop taking them. After a few consultations, Ariel was finally allowed to wean herself off the medication and was given a new one, which helped her more.

Elegant bodies, according to most gym instructors, require consistent workouts and meal plans. However, Ruth Jones – the renowned actress, seems to be doing the opposite yet still attaining the desired results. Miss Jones has actually shrunk. From a size 42 to 12 in just 22 months is remarkable. In her jersey wraparound dress, the actress seemed much more confident than before.

We hope her most recent loss of 80 pounds will be maintained though!

John Goodman – 100 pounds

There isn’t a movie where John Goodman has participated in that he wasn’t known as the “fat, funny man”. However, despite the fact his weight might have helped his acting career; it was also interfering with his well-being. After seeing the weight loss process as the best way to get his health back, Goodman decided to go for a personal trainer and a well-balanced diet. He didn’t need any gastric bypass or sleeve surgery to make him look good. Eventually, he was able to lose around 100 pounds.

Kendra Wilkinson – 55 pounds

One of the most famous beauties, Kendra must have been pretty upset gaining all that baby weight after her first child – she packed on a whopping 60 pounds in 2014.

We wish her well on her health and weight loss journey.

Nancy Sinatra – Weight Lost Undisclosed

Nancy’s most recent project is her 2013 album titled Shifting Gears.

PINK – 55 POUNDS

Just like many other women, Pink’s tight form grew a bit flabbier during her pregnancy, going up by 55 pounds.

REZA FARAHAN – 40 POUNDS

Star of the reality TV show Shahs Of Sunset Reza Farahan wanted to get his body back in shape, like when he was younger.

Without any weight loss surgery, it took him eight months, but he managed to lose 40 pounds.

He also used a well-balanced diet that along with the fitness regimen, made him lose a whopping 47 pounds.

SHARON ROONEY – 25 POUNDS

Given the circumstances, it is safe to say that Sharon Rooney is by no means apologetic for her body weight and insists that she has always looked the same. That notwithstanding, the actress proved that a little attention to nutrition can go a long way when she incorporated cardio into her exercise routine and cut back on takeout food. After just these changes to her lifestyle, the 29-year-old dropped an impressive 25 pounds. Not bad for someone who was initially skeptical about weight loss.

He revealed that he was doing this for his family, team, future, and quality of life. Finally, it was revealed that he had lost 70 pounds off his weight.

JOHN DALY – 67 POUNDS

Only a man as daring as John Daly would attempt something this drastic to lose weight – but the pro-golfer insists that his nutrition is so well adapted to his metabolism that it is worth the risk. Rather than incorporate exercise or a diet plan into his schedule, Daly simply swapped all his food for what he called the ‘whisky and popcorn’ diet. While it may have led to dramatic weight loss, experts insist that it is only a matter of time before the 51-year-old begins battling alcohol addiction.

Nick Carter – 49 pounds

Nick Carter wasn’t very different from most other boy-band folks, who settle for an ovoid waist after their heydays. At one point, Carter weighed 224 pounds.

He reduced 49 lbs and came to a fit 175 pounds.

JACK BLACK – 40 POUNDS

RUSSELL CROWE – 52 POUNDS

Russell Crowe had to put on some weight for the needs of The Nice Guys, which is not unreasonable for an actor. But after filming wrapped up, he decided to slim down again.

He lost 52 pounds and plans to keep going till he’s fit again – something for which a healthy diet plan might help as well.

 Sharon Osbourne – 28 POUNDS
