VALERIE BERTINELLI – LOST 50 LBS.

The ’70s saw the rise of Valerie Bertinelli, who then became synonymous with shows like “One Day At A Time” and “Hot in Cleveland.” By 2007, though, people noticed that she was packing on pounds, so she later switched to a healthier diet, consuming more roasted veggies and salads with housemade dressings.

Bertinelli was 50 pounds lighter come 2009, and that’s because she coupled better nutrition with the Jenny Craig program and regular workouts. Sadly, the “Touched by an Angel” star had to clap back at an online body shamer through an emotional video that she posted on Instagram in July 2021.

Jelly Roll – LOST 120 LBS

Jelly Roll, born Jason DeFord, is a renowned country music artist celebrated for his heartfelt lyrics and dynamic performances. In 2022, weighing approximately 550 pounds, he embarked on a transformative weight loss journey. By December 2024, he had shed an impressive 120 pounds through a combination of healthier eating habits and regular exercise.

A significant milestone in his journey was training for and completing a 5K race in May 2024, during which he lost around 70 pounds. Jelly Roll has openly discussed his food struggles but avoids weight loss drugs with side effects, like Ozempic. His regimen included daily sauna sessions, cold plunges, and high-protein meals prepared by his nutritionist.

Oprah Winfrey – LOST 40 LBS

Oprah Winfrey, the iconic media mogul and former host of “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” has long been open about her weight fluctuations. At her heaviest, she weighed 237 pounds. In 2021, following knee surgery, she embarked on a transformative health journey. By 2023, she had shed 40 pounds through hiking—eventually achieving three to five miles daily and 10-mile hikes on weekends—and adopting healthier eating habits.

In December 2023, Oprah revealed she was using weight-loss medication as part of her strategy, stating it helped “quiet the food noise.” She also stepped down from the WeightWatchers board in February 2024 to avoid any conflict of interest.

JONATHAN ANTOINE – LOST 56 LBS.

A classy operatic singer, Jonathan Antoine, once told the Daily Mail that he never felt pressured to lose weight. But even though he didn’t have to, he decided to do it for himself. He dropped a reported 56 pounds by signing up to the WeightWatchers program and committing to follow its guidelines.

While Antoine still looks like your classic opera singer, he’s much happier and healthier now. In 2021, he exhibited all of his vocal prowess in the single “Amazing Grace (Gracia),” a beautiful version of an iconic tune that makes for one of the year’s best tearjerkers.

Pink – Lost 55 Lbs.

Pink is a singer/performer, among various other things. With record sales exceeding 90 million, the 40-year-old is best known for her top-charting songs like Most Girls, Trouble, and So What. While thriving both professionally and personally, Pink has managed to look smoking hot.

However, she didn’t always look the same, especially not after birthing her children. Back in 2011, after she gave birth for the first time, Pink lost 55 pounds in 15 months. She did so by working with trainers Jillian Michaels and Jeanette Jenkins, going through an 11-day super cleanse, followed by a healthy diet.
