Mariah Carey – 30 Pounds

Enter the woman who earns a crazy $40 million each year, every year, in royalties for the most famous Christmas song ever. However, over time, a trend emerged – the singer’s weight would yo-yo, particularly after giving birth to her twins with rapper Nick Cannon.

In 2017 however, the singer came out and admitted that she had sleeve surgery, which enabled her to slim down and sport a much smaller and tighter figure! We’re sure with a tweaked diet and exercise regime, as well as the surgery; she’ll be good for the long run! (heh).

Abby Lee Miller – 40 Pounds

For someone who’s so into dancing, it seems ironic that Abby Lee Miller couldn’t keep the pounds off! The “Dance Moms” persona found her figure curving a little too far outwards, and as a result, struggled with a few additional pounds.

But at one point, it got so bad that she realized eating wasn’t going to get her anywhere fast except to an early grave. Talk about a wake-up call! After gastric sleeve surgery and a few diet tweaks, Abby Lee Miller lost over 40 pounds!

Carnie Wilson – 150 Pounds

Best known as a member of the 80s girl group Wilson and Phillips, Carnie Wilson has music in her blood! Whilst Carnie Wilson didn’t have any weight issues as a kid and teen growing up, it was just after the band fell apart that the pounds piled on.

Wilson ballooned due to comfort eating, reaching almost 300 pounds. The singer’s best option was gastric sleeve surgery. However, this, too, made things difficult – eventually, she underwent lap band surgery in 2012, which helped her lose 150 pounds!

 Marie Osmond – 50 Pounds

If you saw her today, you’d not think Marie Osmond had ever had a weight problem, nor an age problem for the matter! These days, Osmond sports a trim and very fit figure, as though she’s found the elixir of youth.

It seems, however, that there’s a certain something she owes her great look to – Nutrisystem. The singer and performer became a spokeswoman for the brand in 2007, which also helped her lose a crazy 45 pounds! The personalized diet program helped her shed weight, and she didn’t end up needing a tummy tuck!

Anne Hegerty – 20 Pounds

“Aaaaaah I’m a Celebrity” was an interesting show, wasn’t it? Not a fan of reality TV, but hey, that’s why there’s something for everyone, right? Anne Hegerty, who appeared on the show, has been sporting a noticeably slimmer figure – and we think it might have something to do with the show!

Within three weeks of her near-starvation diet, Hegerty dropped almost 20 pounds! Sign us up! But the media frenzy following her exit from the show was something else – people couldn’t believe the incredible transformation!

Kevin Smith – 85 Pounds

Sure, he may not be super successful on the screen as of late, but he’s certainly been successful in losing a crazy 85 pounds!  At one point, the actor hit 320 pounds and could barely fit into an airline seat.

That was the moment when everything changed – a real wake-up call! Speculation was that Smith hired a trainer and coach to help along the way – but insiders say that Smith did his own thing, cutting back on sugar and following a much healthier plan, which has led to some awesome results!
