Gabourey Sidibe was born and raised in New York City, earned an associate degree, and worked as a receptionist before becoming an actress with the main role in Precious in 2009. Everyone was always so used to seeing her as an overweight person.

Well, even though she still might be a few pounds over her healthy weight, the Empire star has lost about half of her original body mass of 300 pounds.

It has been announced that the 37-year-old will appear in The Harper House soon.

Jessica Simpson – 100 lbs

Almost any adult in this day and age loves a good Jessica Simpson song. However, it has been over a decade since the "Irresistible" singer released any new songs although, it doesn't necessarily mean she has been away from the spotlight.

As many mothers do, Simpson, too, went through bouts of weight gain during her three pregnancies.

When the 68-year-old American actor John Goodman started losing a whole lot of weight at a stretch, rumors of him having surgery started brewing almost instantly. However, the King Ralph star did not go with such an easy option; and instead, he did all the hard work himself.

As per The New York Post, Goodman altered his lifestyle by going on a diet and exercising. The Mediterranean-style diet he followed and the 12,000 steps he walked frequently helped him bring his body weight down from about 100 pounds. We're sure The Conners actor feels a lot more comfortable in his skin now.

Céline Dion - Undisclosed

Wait, Céline Dion was never overweight to have to lose weight. So why is she on this list? As shown in the two pictures above, the "My Heart Will Go On" singer has lost a noticeable amount of her body weight, so much so that her bones are visible.

Even though many were quick to judge her and believe she had anorexia, the 53-year-old shut down all such rumors by revealing the truth behind her weight loss on Good Morning America. According to her, the new passion she has developed for dancing has plummeted the numbers on the scale. Perhaps she should up her calorie intake as compensation.

Jorge Garcia – 100 lbs

As much as fans adored the funny and plump version of the actor Jorge Garcia, he has made some serious changes to his life. For instance, he recently adopted a healthier lifestyle, especially by significantly cutting down portion sizes of his meals. It helped him drop a whopping 100 pounds.

Why the sudden change of lifestyle? We're going to go out on a limb here and say that it may have something to do with the Lost star's recent marriage to Rebecca Birdsall—hoping for a long and healthy life with her. Garcia is currently working on When We Were Pirates and Running Out of Time.

Keely Shaye Smith - 120 lbs

Keely Shaye Smith must have been beautiful both inside and out to have been able to win the heart of a Hollywood heartthrob like Pierce Brosnan. During their two decades of marriage, which saw the birth of two children, the journalist, author, and television personality put on some weight, which put her under the scrutiny of the public.

However, in recent years, the 57-year-old has prioritized her health and figure and has managed to lose a whopping 120 pounds. It is believed that clean eating and exercise helped her achieve the new figure. Kudos to Brosnan for being by her side no matter what she looked like.

Chrissy Metz – 100 lbs

Having been obese as a child, Chrissy Metz sure has gone through some tough times, especially with cases of bullying. With that said, we're surprised at how wonderful and bubbly she turned out to be, gracing the screens with appearances in This Is Us, Sierra Burgess is a Loser, and Breakthrough, among others.

Now aged 40, the ever so stunning Metz has lost at least 100 pounds, and the fact that she did so in five months can surprise anybody. As per Women's Health magazine, Metz limited her calorie intake to 2,000 and went for 20-minute walks every single day to achieve such an inspirational transformation.

Even though her stature was a huge part of her brand, we're glad that she embraced a healthier lifestyle.

Alley's weight went off the charts again in the subsequent years, but this time, she dropped 100 pounds. The physical exercise she got throughout her time in Dancing with the Stars helped on top of adhering to an organic diet. Alley's most recent appearance was as Suzanne in You Can't Take My Daughter.

Rachael Ray - 40 lbs

Rachael Ray's whole livelihood depends on food. Since she is a celebrity cook, TV personality, and entrepreneur, it's reasonable to imagine her with a few extra pounds. However, at one point, overweight began to go towards obesity, which is when her life changed.

The host of The Rachael Ray Show since 2006, the 52-year-old faced throat surgery some time back. It was like a blessing in disguise because her frustration with the inability to speak for a month is what motivated her to hit the gym. It somehow became a part of Ray's lifestyle and helped her become 40 pounds lighter.

Schumer is currently working as a producer, director, writer, and actress on the upcoming television series Life & Beth.

Rosie O’Donnell - 64 lbs

Rosie O'Donnell can easily be dubbed as a woman of all seasons. Why? Because she is a comedian, producer, actress, author, and television personality. She was merely a teenager when she came under the limelight from Star Search and has since maintained a steady career.

As she grew older, O'Donnell started to show more and more weight on her body. However, in 2013, she made a major life decision to undergo vertical gastric sleeve surgery, after which the 59-year-old managed to go from weighing 240 pounds to 176 pounds. That's a drop of 64 pounds. In 2020, O'Donnell appeared in I Know This Much Is True.

She also reportedly took SkinnyJab injections, which ultimately worked out, shedding 43 pounds off of her body.

Queen Latifah – 20 lbs

The name Dana Elaine Owens may not ring a bell, but her stage name "Queen Latifah" most certainly will. She launched her career as a rapper and singer in the '80s and has since made her name popular in all of the show business with acting and production work.

Anyone who knows Queen Latifah knows that she was never a petite woman.

Zach Galifianakis – 50 lbs

If Zach Galifianakis looks familiar from somewhere, chances are you have seen the Hangover films or any of the 70+ other projects he has appeared in. He played Alan in the Hangover movies and somehow lived up to have no hangovers after that.

What we mean is that Galifianakis gave up the habit of drinking alcohol, which has not only helped his weight but done a lot of good to his internal organs. As per the Life and Style magazine, just the sacrifice of alcohol alone allowed him to lose 50 pounds. His self-control is inspiring, isn't it? The 51-year-old continues to host Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis.

The 39-year-old mother of two had any meal she felt like but replaced the ingredients with healthier options that have fewer calories. Smart, isn't she? Lately, her work has involved coaching on The Voice and hosting her eponymous talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, since 2019.

Kaley Cuoco - 6 lbs

Once again, Kaley Cuoco isn't someone anybody would consider even remotely overweight. In that case, why is she on this list? We know she hasn't gone through pregnancy because she has no kids. The Big Bang Theory star is a fan of yoga in real life, just as she is on the show.

With good practices such as healthy eating, eliminating the consumption of sodas, and of course, physical exercises, Cuoco has become six pounds lighter, she shared with Shape. It doesn't seem like much, but it most certainly is for someone who isn't overweight.

With age, Knight prioritized his health, and he did so in a manner that wouldn't cause complications in the future.

Dawn French - 105 lbs

Anyone with good eyesight can see how much fat Dawn French has shed off of her body. In fact, the transformation makes her look at least ten years younger. We wonder if it's her revenge body because, according to Express UK, her transformation began after her divorce in 2010.

Her most noticeable weight loss was visible in 2014 when she had lost a total of 105 pounds. Today, she is 63 years old and glowing and is working pretty actively on her career.

There was a point in Quirke's life when she hit 280 pounds, making her feel embarrassed of herself. It was then (in 2011) that she achieved a significant milestone, losing 112 pounds altogether. Even though her body mass has always been a stress point of her life, we hope she's feeling better and confident now.
