"Jordin Sparks"

With the scrutiny of the world on their shoulders, it’s no wonder that a celebrity’s weight gain and weight loss can make the cover of every magazine.  Whether too skinny or too large, their weight is constantly talked about. Although some fluctuations are minor, several celebs choose to get healthy and lose a significant amount of weight, and some are lucky enough and focused enough to keep it off!  Check out these eight celebs who, with healthy eating and strict exercise regimes, lost the pounds in a healthy way and are keeping them off too!

    I’m surprised Raven Symone wasn’t mentioned.  She has dropped a lot of weight in the last year or so.

  • ctbabydoll

    some of Ya’ll are dumb Jennifer Joined Weight Watchers after she stopped nursing her son and those diets are calorie restricted starting at 1,500 a day through 6 small meals and snacks plus stars have personal trainers and nannies to help look after their childen. this article forgot to mention Mariah Carey who since being on Jenny Craigs Jenny Set Go program has lost pretty much all of her regular pregnancy weight from the twins she lost 40lbs of water weight in the first week after their premature birth and a hernia surgery+ belly button reconstruction losing 2.5 lbs a week is perfectly healthy and especially after a near deadly pregnancy like she had

    I agree with “not fooled…” 

    JHud had surgical help. There is no way a celebrity in this day and age can drop 80lbs in one year and no one see him/her go near a gym during that time, not with the paparazzi swarming around the way they do. She lost it mega fast, it’s written all over her body! You guys are deluding yourself if you really think that girl lost weight with weight watchers and  lots of working out. Not in one year, sorry! I mean, unless she was straight up starving herself during her weight loss period.

    No hate though because she looks a lot better thin IMO. She’s still unattractive, that won’t change, and her crappy personality and jacked up weaves aren’t helping matters either but she certainly looks better than she did when she was hefty. Bobblehead and all…

      It is possible. I lost 75 pounds in less than six months (I know, not too healthy) and I did it with diet and exercise. I went from a size 16 to a 3!

  • Ange

    Jennifer Hudson didn’t have any surgery. If you don’t eat rubbish and exercise a lot, you can easily get to a size 4 / 6 /8 (US sizes). I fail to see the logic of those who say it’s impossible without surgery when physiologically it is perfectly possible to be as slim as JHud if you change your lifestlye. The only people who may not be able to lose so much weight are those with metabolic or endocrine problems but such instances are few and far between. Most people who are overweight eat too much and don’t burn it off.

    • NotfooledbyJhud

      No one said it was impossible..please stop your whining- EVEN NOW JHUD IS NOT A SIZE 4 or SIZE 6… She is 5’8 maybe even 5’9 and she is probably still an 8/10. Models are that same height and are size 0-4…take a look at what they look like versus JHUD and tell me if you still want to continue the defense of a chick WHO HAS HAD GASTRIC and is now eating healthy. BOTTOM LINE BELIEVE WHAT U WANT no matter how much evidence to the contrary.

      • Ange

        I don’t understand people (and you are not alone) who insist on one incorrect point of view but when anyone expresses a different point of view, they are “whining”. Did you conduct a study where all people who had gastric surgery “have a big head and out-of-proportion limbs?” I strongly dislike all this pseudo-science junk that people spout as if it’s fact. JHud didn’t have surgery and she is easily a size 4-6 (American sizes).

        • SparkleCupcake

           She is not a size 4/6 and I dont care how she lost the weight..chick is not a size 4/6 look at her hips/thighs.

  • MZ.79JACKSON

    CONGRATS TO ALL THESE LADIES THAT ACTUALLY LOST WEIGHT THE RIGHT WAY,ME AND A GIRLFRIEND SAID THAT IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT SUCKED OUT,I’M NOT HATING AT ALL.I WOULD PREFER TO NOT GET OLDER A BE HEAVY,AND WITH MAJOR HEALTH ISSUES THATS NOT COOL EITHER,WHEN YOU CANT WALK A FLIGHT OF STAIRS,WALK TO YOUR MAILBOX,OR RUN AND PLAYWITH YOUR KIDS, OR BE CHARGED FOR TWO SEATS ON A PLANE,THATS JUST TERRIBLE.

  • NotfooledbyJhud

    It is so OBVIOUS that Jen Hud had lap band surgery just like Starr Jones…JHud is from an obese genetic pool and with diet & exercise alone the smallest she would have been was a 14/16…this small size which is about an 8/10 NOT A 6/4/2 as someone tried to claim is abnormal and it looks abnormal with her head size.

    • KikuyuDread

      You can always tell when people use the lapband from their faces. 

    • Ange

      Scientifically you are not making sense. If you put someone from a so-called “obese genetic pool” in an environment where food is scarce and they have to walk miles for food and water, do you think they will be the same weight 6 months later? Please try to think, if you radically change your lifestyle, dramatic weight loss IS possible.

      • NotfooledbyJhud

         Dramatic weight loss is possible HOWEVER it is very obvious when a person is in STARVATION MODE vs LOSING WEIGHT SLOWLY & HEATHFULLY thru Diet and Exercise vs. LAPBAND surgery. Each type of weight loss has OBVIOUS PHYSICAL MARKERS. 

        A TOO LARGE HEAD & OUT OF PROPORTION LIMBS WITH SAGGING MUSCLE TONE as we see with Star Jones and JHUD means GASTRIC.

        A PERSON WHO IS STARVING WILL HAVE RIBS/COLLARBONES protruding and a BLOATED BELLY like we see the children on those charity commercials.

        A PERSON WHO LOSES THRU DIET & EXERCISE SAFELY will have toned muscles/taut skin and a SLOW CHANGE like we have seen with Tyra Banks/Raven Symone and Jordan Spark.

        • Ange

          I respect everyone’s right to an opinion but JHud didn’t have surgery and that is that. If it makes you feel better to think otherwise, then that is what you should do.

        • Lola

          I’m sorry, but this sounds incredibly ignorant. There are a lot of people that have lost weight the healthy way, and still had sagging skin, sometimes having to have it surgically removed. Besides that, it is only your opinion that J-Hud’s limbs are sagging and her head is too large.

      • NotfooledbyJhud

         I never said it wasn’t possible,  I said that is not how JHUD lost her weight. People use lipo, gastric and other methods some healthy and some not so, but the proof is in the end apperance of body proportion/muscle tone and tautness of the skin.
