KELLY CLARKSON
American singer, songwriter, and actress, Kelly Clarkson, who was catapulted to stardom after winning the very first season of American Idol, was apparently able to lose 37 pounds by following a book called The Plant Paradox. She credits the book for working wonders for her. Clarkson, however, was quick to remind people that it might have worked for her because she had a thyroid problem and an autoimmune disease. So, anyone looking for a diet plan to follow might need to look elsewhere, because Clarkson says that the book might not work for everyone. And whatever it is that Clarkson found helpful in the book, the proof is in the pudding—and the metaphorical pudding is Clarkson looking slimmer and more beautiful than before.
KELLY OSBOURNE
Singer, songwriter, and reality television personality, Kelly Osbourne, who is also known for being the daughter of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, reportedly lost a total of 70 pounds in 2017 and was able to keep the weight off if recent photos of her online are any indication. What worked for her? Well, Kelly shared that it was a strict diet plan coupled with an exercise regimen that consisted of high-intensity workouts. Indeed, the celebrity shared that she can now wear bikinis, something she never once thought of doing because of her weight. But, happily, all the investments she put in for her health paid off very nicely, and she’s looking more gorgeous than ever.
KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN
Television personality and socialite, Khloé Kardashian, who became popular for, well, being a Kardashian, shared that she was always referred to as the chubby one. Well, not anymore, since she’s been able to revamp her body in such an incredible way, losing 40 pounds in the process. To be sure, a lot of cosmetic surgery was involved, which some might think to be cheating, but hey, she did what she needed to do, and the final result is that she looks fantastic. How did she lose weight? Well, she credits the change in lifestyle as the cause of her weight loss. And, if her Instagram is any indication, she works out a lot at the gym, which is no doubt why she’s able to maintain her figure.
KIRSTEN VANGSNESS
American actress and writer Kirsten Vangsness, who is best known for playing Penelope Garcia in the hit television drama series Criminal Minds, has always been thought of as a ‘plus-size’ actress. In fact, Kirsten shared that she’s always been chubby as a kid, and was often teased for that. In any case, pictures of the star show that there’s been a dramatic change in her weight—she’s now much slimmer than she used to be! We’re not sure how she did it; some sites say she took diet pills of one kind or another while others say she credits some form of esoteric exercise that involved spiritual elements. Whatever the case may be, she looks great!
KIRSTIE ALLEY
American actress Kirstie Alley, who gained worldwide recognition for playing Saavik in the film Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, is one personality who’s had a rollercoaster ride of weight struggles. She was often gaining weight, then losing it and then gaining it again. She is, of course, a huge celebrity, who has her own star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which means she’s naturally become an inspiration to others in their own weight struggles.
According to alley, her secret to losing weight is to switch her meals to organic fruits and vegetables, and to control her diet. Happily, she’s reported to have lost close to 75 pounds before filming Dancing with the Stars, and if her latest photos are any indication, all that investment she put in for her health has managed to pay off, since she seems to have maintained her figure.
LASHANTA WHITE
Lashanta White, the ginormously overweight star of My 600-Lb Life, was reportedly at a whopping 700 pounds when they started filming for the popular reality series. Her doctors said she was dangerously overweight—so dangerous, in fact, that she could literally die if she didn’t do anything about it. But because of all the hard work that the show put her through—for her own benefit, of course—she was reportedly able to lose an impressive 133 pounds. To be sure, she still has a long way to go, and she’s not in the healthy zone just yet, but if she’s willing to follow through with this investment in her health, we’re sure she can make it to her ideal weight.
LESLIE JONES
Comedian, actress and Saturday Night Live cast member, Leslie Jones, who was nominated for an Emmy for work in Saturday Night Live, showed off her super-fit body on Instagram right after she turned 50. And, unless the pictures were somehow altered, then it’s safe to say that she’s lost quite a lot of weight. She was reportedly able to lose 40 pounds in just one year through the help of her trainer, who motivated her to make a big investment in her health. Leslie shared that one of the reasons she decided to lose weight was because her doctor told her there would be ramifications to her unfettered eating habits.

English actress and TV presenter, Lisa Riley, who’s gained wider recognition for portraying Mandy Dingle in the soap opera Emmerdale, was reportedly able to lose 12 stones by using a diet trick. If you don’t know how huge an amount 12 stones is, let us tell you: it is huge. Consider that 1 stone is equivalent to 14 pounds, making 12 stones the equivalent of 168 pounds. That’s how much weight she lost. What did she do, you ask? She ate out of small bowls, which assured that the portions she ate were much smaller than they used to be. And, because of this weird eating strategy, the star has reportedly gone from a size 28 to a size 12.

Carey also reportedly exercises a lot to maintain her figure. Indeed, she looks quite happy about her new body. In fact, we would be the same, because her curves are quite enviable, and they deserve to be flaunted on social media.
