12 Celebrities That Successfully Lost Weight

We give celebrities a hard time for being too thin.  Then we give them a hard time about putting on a few pounds after the holidays.  Then it’s about losing their baby weight too quickly or about not losing their baby weight quickly enough.   We even point out their recent lunch indulgence with captions stating that this could be a baby bump; celebrities don’t have it easy when it comes to their bodies.  However, some celebrities have gone through the gamut with their bodies, losing a lot of weight and changing their appearance once and for all. Read on to find out which 12 celebrities have lost a lot of weight and look better than ever.

Jonah Hill

He’s hilarious and everyone loves him. These days, however, there’s just less of him to love. The formerly shapely celebrity has lost a significant amount of weight in the past few years, causing him to look better than ever. Fortunately, he’s still funny despite his reported 100 pound weight loss.

Star Jones

People seem to love to dislike this former View co-host and Celebrity Apprentice contestant, and with her attitude, it’s not hard to figure out why.  She’s never confirmed the exact amount of weight she lost, but it’s been thought she lost upwards of 50 pounds. However, Star Jones wasn’t about to become one of those celebrities whose time in the limelight was wasted; she decide to lose weight and do it fast.

Kelly Osbourne

The Fashion Police host was once a slightly chubby, shabbily dressed celebutante who was more likely to be featured on Fashion Police than she was to be a host. However, after losing enough weight to change her body around, changing her style and becoming more glam than ever, she’s looking great.

Seth Rogen

What is it about all these funny celebrities losing weight? It would seem that the more weight you have, the funnier you are. Fortunately for Seth Rogen, his hilarity was not directly related to his weight.

Jennifer Hudson

We all know she can sing and we all know she’s a fan of Weight Watchers, but there’s just no denying the fact that the soulful singer, former American Idol contestant and Oscar winner looks amazing with her new physique. While the exact amount of weight she’s lost is unknown, it’s been speculated that she lost anywhere from 70 to 100 pounds.

John Goodman

He’s made a career of himself being a jolly man with a big personality and plenty of laughs, but after recently stepping out at a Hollywood event looking like half the man he once was, it’s easy to feel good about his weight loss. He’s got to be much healthier and happier with his new found body.

Sara Rue

Let’s get something straight; Sara Rue was not that big a girl. She may have had a few more pounds on her in recent years than she currently does, but she was not obese or anything like that. She’s always been lovely; she’s just a little smaller than she was a few years ago with what appears to be a 20 something pound weight loss.

Marie Osmond

Perhaps it was her stint on Dancing with the Stars that caused this Osmond to lose so much weight, but there’s no denying that a little less of her looks far better than ever.

Valerie Bertinelli

The curvaceous actress always had a great personality, but now she has a great body to go along with it. She also has a diet campaign that’s sure to have caused millions to hurry up and order now in hopes that the rest of the world can transform their own bodies the way she did.

Christina Aguilera

She was once a little overweight and then she was entirely too thin. Then she put on a few pounds and everyone said she didn’t look great. How long will it take the world to decide her newly slimmed down figure is something to be proud of?  As long as it’s healthy.

Jessica Simpson

When this famous blonde was pregnant with her first child just two years ago, she gained a lot of weight. Having already been under fire for her weight gain in the year before she became pregnant, the star decided to take matters into her own hand and become a weight loss spokesperson, losing plenty of weight and looking great after giving birth (and then getting pregnant again).

Jordin Sparks

She was America’s sweetheart, so young and adorable, when she was on American Idol, but as the star has grown up in front of the cameras these past few years, she’s put her health first and shed her excess weight. She’s not too thin; she’s curvy and lovely and a perfect example of what true beauty looks like.
