Gossip magazines and tabloids are the worst, and yet, we love reading about stars and famous people featured in them. When these celebrities gain weight, they are made fun of and trolled, but when a celeb loses weight, they MUST have gotten plastic surgery or lap band surgery! You just can’t win!
Some of the weight transformations are so drastic, it makes us look at the before and after images and wonder if they’re the same person! Whatever the route to their weight loss, these A-listers sure do look fitter than before, and there is a sea-change in their self-esteem, too!
We have rounded up some of the most awe-inspiring celebrity weight loss stories, in the hopes that we, too, can kickstart our journey to fitness! Here they are…

Drew Carey, ~ 100 Pounds – Diet and Exercise

Gordon Ramsay, ~ 56 Pounds – Exercise and Eating Better
They say that you should never trust a chef who is in shape, as they may not enjoy their food as much! That’s a total lie, because celebrity chef, and proud Brit Gordon Ramsey has always been slender AND he’s a fabulous cook. But, that wasn’t the case when he found himself weighing 250 lbs and his wife certainly didn’t approve!
The Hell’s Kitchen host jokes that he lost all the weight to save his marriage as his better half may have walked out on him. Despite his hectic work schedule, that made him overweight in the first place, Ramsay started making time for gym, hired a personal trainer and did plenty of outdoor activities and played sports with his kids. Now, he’s 56 lbs lighter.
