Flab To Fab: Some Of Our Favorite Artists Who Have Seriously Cut Down On The Pounds

17. Chaz Bono

Bono dropped 85 pounds in 2011 and showcased his new body on Extra where he said the secrets to maintaining good health was a diet made primarily of meat, fruit, nuts and vegetables. Giving up stress eating and junk food altogether, Bono said, “My birthday is the one day of the year when I’ll do cake.” Eventually opting for plastic surgery to remove the excess skin around his torso and under his arms as a result of the weight loss, the 47-year-old is finally happy with who he is.

18. Queen Latifah

Known to embrace her curvy figure and empower women of all shapes and sizes, Latifah decided to set a better example for her female fans by shedding some weight. Turning to Jenny Craig for help (and later becoming a spokesperson), Latifah hired a personal trainer and soon turned heads on the red carpet looking noticeably different after losing 30 pounds. Though she admits her struggle with keeping the weight off over the years, Latifah says that she loves her curves even more today.

19. Randy Jackson

Accustomed to life on the road and eating poorly, Jackson decided to change his life completely in 2003 after weighing in at a whopping 350 pounds. Opting for gastric bypass surgery two years after being diagnosed with diabetes, the 59-year-old Jackson lost a large amount of weight in a short amount of time when he returned to American Idol weighing 220 pounds. Leaving the show in 2014, Jackson’s weight has continued to fluctuate but he hasn’t seen 350 on the scale in quite some time.

20. Chris Pratt

Trying out for the part of Scott Hatteberg in the 2011 film Moneyball but told he was too heavy after weighing in at 280 pounds, Pratt was determined to win the role and headed straight for the gym. A self-proclaimed former couch potato, Pratt dropped 30 pounds and sent the casting director a photo and was immediately given the part—but he wasn’t done there. Building muscle and putting on 20 pounds of healthy weight, Pratt has finally completed his physical transformation into the Hollywood hunk we know and love today.
