Miranda lambert – 25 pounds
Country music singer Miranda Lambert is one of Blake Shelton’s ex-wives. In 2016, she released her sixth album, The Weight of These Wings. This was when she decided to shed a few pounds. While Lambert was offered a promotion deal by a weight loss company to try their 40-pound diet plan, she turned it down saying she wasn’t intending on losing that much weight – after all, she was only a size 8.
For Lambert, her decision was as much about getting into a healthier routine as it was about losing weight. She turned her dislike of vegetables around and started enjoying them. She also gave up on fad diets that never seemed to work and took up exercise – although she hadn’t been keen on it earlier, she began enjoying it and even took up circuit trainer with the help of a trainer. She’s probably got health insurance policy, but with her healthier approach to life, she’s probably not going to need it!
Jonah hill – 40 pounds
Popular actor Jonah Hill is known for his bubbly personality and comedic timing. But when he had seemed to gain a dangerous amount of weight, his doctor suggested a gastric sleeve surgery. Hill decided not to opt for the $23,000 procedure – saving his credit, no doubt – and chose to loose weight the traditional way.
He hired a nutritionist who helped him follow a strict diet plan and took up physical activities such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which he would train at for four to five times a week. Talking about his 40 pound weight loss in an interview, the comedian said, “At 35, I try and get over the stuff that made me feel weak and insecure as a teenager.”

Jennifer Ellison is another actress who’s had some trouble with weight management. Finally, the 38-year old actress decided to give the Cambridge diet, where one would follow a strict diet plan that would limit the number of calories consumed to just 800 per day, a shot. Lucky for her, it worked!
As a result of the diet, Ellison lost a total of 28 pounds and has gone down from a size 18 to a size 10. The television personality showed off her new body on Instagram, mentioning that it was “measurement day”. “So proud to say I’ve lost a further massive 6.5 inches of body fat in a month,” she also wrote.

Michael moore – 70 pounds
Michael Moore decided to take a slightly different approach to losing weight than most of the other celebrities we talked about. Instead of taking up exercise, he just focused on his diet and starting moving around a bit more than usual. He’d eat fiber-heavy foods, at least 35 grams per day, and avoid carbs as much as possible. The filmmaker also enrolled in a weight loss spa, the Pritkin Longevity Center and Spa, that cost him $4,500 per week!
According to him, all overweight people have 3 things in common: 1. they drink soda, which stops them from losing weight, 2. they sleep less than seven hours per day, and 3. they never eat, which they believe will help them lose weight (but of course, it doesn’t).
