7 shocking celebrity weight loss transformations

Stars live under a microscope in the spotlight and are constantly criticized for their weight, so it’s no wonder that some of them decide to shave a few pounds off — be it for health benefits, in preparation for swimsuit season or any other reason.

Here’s a look at 7 shocking celebrity weight loss transformations:

OZZY OSBOURNE TO PRESENT AT 2020 GRAMMYS AFTER SHARING PARKINSON’S DIAGNOSIS

Rebel Wilson

Rebel Wilson, star of “Pitch Perfect,” is beginning to look fit perfect these days.

After declaring 2020 her “year of health,” the 39-year-old actress began a health and diet regimen that’s provided great results.

Wilson shared a photo of herself at the beginning of the year on the beach, just as she was beginning her weight loss journey.

Wilson said she’s “deliberately hydrating” and “trying to avoid the sugar and junk food.”

A few weeks later, Wilson’s trainer shared a photo of the actress in all black athleticwear, as well as a video of her training with CrossFit ropes.

Wilson’s trainer, Jono Castano, revealed that she’s been working out seven days a week, and it’s definitely showing.

Jillian Michaels

Jillian Michaels is best known for whipping people into shape on “The Biggest Loser,” but she first had to whip herself into shape.

The fitness guru recently took to Instagram to share a throwback photo, revealing her former weight.

“Here’s me at 5’0 tall and 175 lbs,” she wrote in the caption. “If I can do it – anyone can. Share your story…”

Of course, the 45-year-old trainer has slimmed down over the years, and is now an advocate for health and wellness.

Jonah Hill

Jonah Hill was always known as the chubby, funny guy, but in recent years, he’s proven that’s not always the case — on screen and off.

Hill started dropping weight between 2015 and 2016 and has continued to trim down since.

The 36-year-old actor is almost unrecognizable compared to his former self.

Hill revealed on “The Tonight Show” in 2016 that he turned to “21 Jump Street” costar Channing Tatum for fitness tips, who simply recommended he eat healthier.

WENDY WILLIAMS AND KEVIN HUNTER FINALIZE DIVORCE: REPORTS

Adele

The “Hello” singer has made headlines recently for showing off her dramatic transformation after she reportedly said she knew “she had to change something.”

A source told People that Adele’s weight loss was inspired by her desire to be “the healthiest mom possible.”

In recent weeks, Adele, 31, was spotted on vacation with fellow Brits James Corden and Harry Styles, where some photos were snapped of her soaking up some sun on the beach, looking drastically different.

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera, 39, burst onto the music scene when she was around 20 years old, and since then she’s received a great deal of criticism for her weight.

Her weight has fluctuated over the years, rising and falling after the 2008 birth of her son Max.

However, in 2013, Christina Aguilera turned heads at the American Music Awards for her dramatic weight loss.

When asked about her weight loss secret, Xtina told E! News “Laughter, happiness, breathing and I did some yoga.”

Sounds easy enough.

Ethan Suplee

Ethan Suplee is feeling proud these days.

The 43-year-old actor dropped jaws recently after revealing his impressive weight loss.

You may remember Suplee as Louie in “Remember the Titans,” but you probably wouldn’t recognize him today.

The actor took to Instagram to show off his weight loss.

“This may be my favorite moment of the year in the gym, because it’s empty,” he captioned the photo. “2020 goal: all the abs. What are yours?”

Honestly, it’s a bit hard to believe he even needs to set fitness goals anymore.

Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian is another star who has grown up in the spotlight, but being in a family full of models meant that her weight drew extra criticism.

Kardashian began to work out to cope with the beginning of her lengthy divorce from Lamar Odom.

It wasn’t long before the reality star began noticing a difference and pushed on, making a surprising transformation.

Kardashian, 35, would even go on to host a weight loss show called “Revenge Body,” though the program and other weight loss products she’s promoted have drawn criticism.

7 times Drew Barrymore kept it real about body image, acting and life

Drew Barrymore made headlines this week for her 20-pound weight loss and comments about the process of inner healing.

The 45-year-old actress has been living in the public eye for almost her entire life and been battling against stereotypes and harmful body standards since she was a young woman.

In fact, she dubbed this week “Wellness Week,” and posted a brutally honest social media image of her “rollercoaster” weight gain/loss. “I go up and I go down,” the “Charlie’s Angels” alum wrote. “The rollercoaster of my body is a challenging, but beautiful ride. I made two kids. The single most important purpose for me being on this planet is for them! It is a true miracle I was able to have these two girls.”

DREW BARRYMORE POSTS BEFORE-AND-AFTER PHOTOS OF HER 20-LB. WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY

Barrymore shares Olive, 7, and Frankie, 5, with ex-husband Will Kopelman.

“DON’T Be fooled by what you see when people are thin right after baby,” she added. “Don’t compare yourself to the magazines and the red carpets. If I looked decent on anything I have done since I had my two kids, I have clawed my way there. You can too!”

So in honor of Barrymore’s wellness journey, let’s collect her 7 “realest” quotes about body image, life, acting, and parenting.

1. Loving Food 

“When I’m doing the show, I’m a vegan and I barely eat anything, and I work out every day, and it’s so healthy,” Barrymore said on “The Late Late Show With James Corden.” “It gets to be euphoric, and then it’s like food poisoning, you feel like you’ll never eat again, and then before you know it, you’re pigging out with the feed bag strapped to your face. I’m a foodie, and love food and I travel the world for food, so I get heavy again between the show.”

2. Family Dysfunction

“Bitterness is exhausting and toxic and I refuse to carry that around with me. Happiness is a choice,” Barrymore told Willie Geist on Sunday Today.

3. Body Image 

“I never beat myself up or forced myself to look a certain way, and my goals have not been vanity-oriented, so I’ll be able to talk to my kids in a very real way about having to work with ourselves the way that we are. We’ve got to embrace it. We were all made a certain way,” Barrymore admitted to Health magazine.

4. Parenting 

I feel like there’s an overarching, positive, strong message that girls can do anything, and there’s a superhero-vibe going on that we just have to take and run with and never look back. We can only grow it and make it stronger. In some areas of the world, we might think we’re going backwards, but we cannot let girls go backwards. We have to look forward, and put one foot in front of the other with total empowerment” the “50 First Dates” star said to Parents magazine.

5. Cooking Skills 

“I really love cooking, it makes me so happy, but I’m terrible at it,” she joked to Red Magazine. “None of it is effortless or sexy or even tastes that good for that matter, but I’m really working on it. I might travel somewhere to do it, and bring the family. I love cooking for Olive now, but I used to be Mrs Takeout… I’ve just never learned to cook in my life.”

6. Living a Public Life 

“It wasn’t my choice to be an open book, but when people found out what my life was like when I was 14 or 15, I didn’t deny it. I think the more imperfect you are, the more human you are,” she said to The Guardian.

7. Divorce

“When you break up with somebody, you’re like, ‘Yeah that didn’t work.’ When you get divorced, you’re like, ‘I’m the biggest failure.’ It’s so shameful and hard to actually go through that, even privately,” she told Chelsea Handler on her Netflix show. “It’s so shameful and hard to actually go through that, even privately.”

Woman sheds nearly 80 pounds after switching to sugar-free soda, healthier options: ‘Food was my refuge’

After losing both her job and childhood home within days of each other, 26-year-old Shannon Palmer turned to takeout food and soda to cope with the “deep depression” that ensued.

“All of my childhood disappeared with the fire. I had nothing after that. My mum nearly died in the fire and I was made redundant at work the next day —  after working there for four years,” Palmer told South West News Service (SWNS), a British news agency, noting both events occurred in 2017.

TEEN NEARLY DIES AFTER SINUS INFECTION TRAVELS TO HIS BRAIN 

“I was bullied a lot at school —  so for me, eating was a coping mechanism. Food was my refuge,” she added, noting her drink of choice was the carbonated soft drink Irn-Bru.

Within months, Palmer said she jumped from a size 12 to a size 24, weighing some 238 pounds.

“I ate five or six takeaways each week and drank 10 Irn-Brus. I was eating through my depression but I just wanted to be happy,” she said. “Some people have drugs, drink, gambling — I had food.”

Following a beach trip in September 2018 — during which Palmer said she felt “disgusted” with herself — she was introduced to the U.K.-based weight-loss organization Slimming World. In addition to changing her eating habits — which included chips, chocolate, burgers and muffins — she also switched to sugar-free Irn-Brus in an attempt to reduce her sugar intake.

“I wouldn’t have managed to keep up with the diet if I had to stop drinking Irn-Bru completely, which is why switching to sugar-free has been so helpful,” she told SWNS. “You can’t expect people to stop enjoying something they love — it’s about moderation.”

Shannon Palmer credits her weight loss to switching to sugar-free soda and healthier food options.

Palmer claims she’s lost roughly 77 pounds since changing her diet.

“I don’t go to the gym and I don’t really exercise, I just eat healthily with the occasional cheat day,” she said. “I still eat the occasional takeaway and eat chocolates and crisps, but I know when to stop.”

She added: “I feel like I respect myself a lot more now, it’s important to take care of yourself. I’m the person I always wanted to be.”

Woman celebrates 50-pound weight loss with pics at hotel where she felt her ‘lowest,’ goes viral

A woman has gone viral after sharing her incredible weight loss journey.

Three years and 50 pounds lighter, Glasgow resident Emma Young, 23, took to Twitter to celebrate her journey and show off her new body.

92 PERCENT OF PEOPLE CLAIM THEY WOULD EXERCISE MORE IF THEY HAD COOL WORKOUT CLOTHES, STUDY FINDS

“Same hotel 3 years apart. [49 pounds] down,” she wrote. “Madness to see how far [I’ve] actually came[sic]. [Here we go].”

The Scottish woman shared that she took the initial picture when she felt at her “lowest” point, tipping the scales at 147 pounds in August 2016, Daily Mail reported. February of the following year, Young decided to take action and began dieting. Soon she started adding one high-intensity work out per week.

Young started watching the weight fall off and upped her workouts. Now, she works out with a personal trainer two or three times a week, as well as does high-intensity classes and circuit training with weights.

After three years of hard work, Young decided to revisit where she felt her worst and take a new bikini snap to celebrate her weight loss victory — a celebration thousands on Twitter applauded.

Though she has completely changed her lifestyle, Young shared that she is not “extremely strict” about her diet and credits her long-lasting weight loss to “balance.”

“If I’m good 5/6 days out of 7 then a cheat meal is allowed. You’ll be able to stick to healthy eating so much more if you allow yourself a cheat meal,” she wrote on Instagram.

As far as her recommendations to other people trying to lose weight, Young swears by taking before and after photos to track progress.

“Best way to track your progress is 1000% by taking before and after pictures. Also helps motivate me when all I want to do in winter is eat every single bit of chocolate/crisps/pizzas/Chinese there is,” she wrote.

Rebel Wilson flaunts amazing weight loss transformation after declaring 2020 her ‘year of health’

Rebel Wilson has been working hard on her fitness.

The Australian actress, 39, posted a video of herself doing a CrossFit exercise with ropes on her Instagram stories late Thursday; it was later reposted by her trainer Jono Castano.

The “Pitch Perfect” star showed off her amazing weight loss transformation as she donned an all-black workout outfit at the gym.

ADELE TOLD VACATIONING FAN SHE LOST 100 POUNDS: REPORT

“Friday vibes but @rebelwilson has been putting in the yards 7 days a week,” Castano captioned his post. “Proud of you gurl .”

Wilson has been on a health and fitness regime over the past few months and declared 2020 her “Year of Health.”

“Okay so for me 2020 is going to be called ‘The Year of Health,”” she wrote on Instagram in early January. “So I put on the athleisure and went out for a walk, deliberately hydrating on the couch right now and trying to avoid the sugar and junk food, which is going to be hard after the holidays I’ve just had but I’m going to do it! Who’s with me in making some positive changes this year?”

The funny woman told Entertainment Tonight that she started losing weight while filming “Cats” and has since dropped between 40 and 50 pounds.

“I lost eight pounds shooting my number, in four days,” Wilson said. “One, because there’s a lot of physicality… But also, they heated up the set very high, to almost 100 [degrees] Fahrenheit, so that we could never cool down.”

REBEL WILSON BACK IN AUSTRALIAN COURTS IN DEFAMATION APPEAL 

The actress has always been a voice for body confidence, though, and even designed her own plus-size clothing line called Rebel Wilson x Angels. The sizes range from 14 to 24; it was inspired by her struggle to find clothes that fit right.

“I remember I didn’t even go to a friend’s wedding in my 20s because I didn’t know where to buy a dress in my size,” she had told InStyle magazine.

“Now I have a wardrobe full of custom Givenchy,” she added. “My family is going to hate me for saying this, but they raid my closet because we wear similar sizes and they know I have the best fashion taste. I know what I’m talking about now. So I find that I impart a lot of my knowledge, especially to plus-size girls.”

Rebel Wilson flaunts amazing weight loss transformation after declaring 2020 her ‘year of health’

Rebel Wilson has been working hard on her fitness.

The Australian actress, 39, posted a video of herself doing a CrossFit exercise with ropes on her Instagram stories late Thursday; it was later reposted by her trainer Jono Castano.

The “Pitch Perfect” star showed off her amazing weight loss transformation as she donned an all-black workout outfit at the gym.

“Friday vibes but @rebelwilson has been putting in the yards 7 days a week,” Castano captioned his post. “Proud of you gurl .”

Wilson has been on a health and fitness regime over the past few months and declared 2020 her “Year of Health.”

“Okay so for me 2020 is going to be called ‘The Year of Health,”” she wrote on Instagram in early January. “So I put on the athleisure and went out for a walk, deliberately hydrating on the couch right now and trying to avoid the sugar and junk food, which is going to be hard after the holidays I’ve just had but I’m going to do it! Who’s with me in making some positive changes this year?”

The funny woman told Entertainment Tonight that she started losing weight while filming “Cats” and has since dropped between 40 and 50 pounds.

“I lost eight pounds shooting my number, in four days,” Wilson said. “One, because there’s a lot of physicality… But also, they heated up the set very high, to almost 100 [degrees] Fahrenheit, so that we could never cool down.”
