Jason Segel - Lost 35 Pounds

Midnight pizzas are the ultimate food escapades, but they're also the fastest route to gaining extra pounds, as Jason Segel found out during his post 'How I Met Your Mother' days. Hence pizzas were the first to go when Jason started his weight loss journey, although he initially wasn't too pleased about having to do so.

The actor had to drop a few pounds and get back in shape if he wanted to romance the gorgeous Emily Blunt in 'The Five Year Engagement,' and he did. From having a trainer sent to the sets for Jason to exercise twice a day to willingly adopting a new and healthier lifestyle, the leading man did it all and lost 35 pounds.

 

Kirstie Alley - Lost 75 Pounds

 

From the on and off relationship that Kirstie Alley has had with losing weight over the years, we gather she isn’t too fond of what it entails - dieting and exercising for the most part. Fortunately, that hasn’t kept the gorgeous lady from dropping some massive pounds through various means.

Although not a fan of hitting the gym, Kirstie loves to dance and do yoga. In 2004, the ‘Madhouse’ star lost an impressive 75 pounds with the help of ‘Jenny Craig,’ a weight loss and nutrition company. After a few years, Kirstie put those right back on and had to do it all over again in 2011. This time she accomplished the feat by competing in ‘Dancing with the Stars.’

 

Adrienne Bailon - Lost 20 Pounds

This time around, the co-host of 'The Real' talk show made some conscious lifestyle changes that she has been consistent with, like embracing a plant-based diet and working out regularly.

One of the crucial changes Adrienne made was to take a closer look at her relationship with food to make it a healthier and sustainable partnership. She lost 20 pounds by eating veggies, doing squats, and drinking water. Also, Adrienne found the perfect motivator: wanting to start a family.

 

Jerry Ferrara - Lost 60 Pounds

Sometimes, a little bit of shift in focus is all it takes to lose weight. Jerry Ferrara did that by getting himself to look at health and fitness differently. His new outlook included regular workout sessions at the gym and a brand new vigor for life and his profession.

Although the extra pounds added weight to his character Turtle on the hit television show ‘Entourage,’ we are happy to see him lose 60 pounds by slowly and steadily doing what’s required to stay fit. Jerry reduced his portion sizes and included working out regularly into his fitness regimen. He fell off the wagon several times but always got back on with more determination, which eventually paid off handsomely.

 

Carrie Underwood - Lost 20 Pounds

Carrie Underwood is the personification of fitness goals! Set intentions, not resolutions, is her mantra, and frankly, we can all use that in our lives instead of leaving it on our tees.

The 2005 'American Idol' winner has figured out the magic formula for staying fit that works best for her. She vouches for the fact that physical fitness is the one thing that makes everything possible. Yes, Carrie also watches what she eats, sometimes having as little as 800 calories in a day.

Believe it or not, the gorgeous Kim Kardashian has to work as hard as anyone else to look that svelte. It’s relatable how she fell off the weight-loss bandwagon when she lost 55 pounds and had to get back on with more determination and focus on dropping 15 Lbs more.

While we look in awe at Kim, her sister Khloe has inspired her to stay on course to achieve her weight loss goals.

Complimenting it with intense workout sessions is how this media personality remains fit.

Melissa Joan Hart - Lost 40 Pounds

Adorably, he took Pete’s response of doing a hundred pushups a day seriously and followed the advice diligently.

He had his wife supporting him by having nutritious meals together that helped him stay the course. The ‘Saturday Night Live’ star looks dapper after embracing mindful eating and exercising.

 

Ethan Suplee - Lost 200 Pounds

Ethan Suplee has come a long way indeed, from not wanting to be looked at to dropping 200 pounds with sheer determination and lots of planned dieting and workouts. It was the small things that set him on his weight loss journey, sweating through his clothes on cool days and holding his breath in elevators, so people didn’t hear how hard he was breathing.

Still, the reason that trumped all was wanting to live longer for his wife and kids. Ethan started eating nutritious food and in more sustainable portions than going on extreme diets. Regular workouts became part of his lifestyle, and since then, the ‘Remember The Titans’ star’s efforts to stay fit have benefited his family.

Besides working out five times a week, Khloe eats eight meals a day which keep her tummy full, ensuring she doesn't unnecessarily binge.

Matthew McConaughey - Lost 50 Pounds

Actor Matthew McConaughey was never really a big man. However, sometimes actors need to look a certain way to play a particular role in a movie. So when Matthew had to perform as a severely unwell and emaciated patient in the film 'Dallas Buyers Club,' he got to work and lost several pounds.

Still, the performer didn't lose weight the typical way. All he did was feed on small amounts of veggies, fish, egg whites, and tapioca pudding for five months, and that was enough to do the trick. Also, Matthew didn't exercise in those few months, which helped him lose substantial muscle mass. If you've seen the movie, you'll know Matthew did a genuinely tremendous job.

Moreover, John even took on smoking so that he wouldn't get hungry all the time. This technique might have worked for the athlete, but we hope anyone who wants to lose weight tries a safer and healthier method.
