Now, we love an exotic-looking brunette. Mila Kunis certainly delivers on that. The gorgeous Ukrainian has been on our screens from a very young age. The talented Kunis has great versatility – from comedy roles to more serious, dramatic ones. And when she’s committed to a role, she really commits.
Such a role was when she was cast opposite Natalie Portman in “Black Swan.” The already svelte and petite Kunis dropped a further 20 pounds to fit into the role of a young ballerina. But here’s the twist: she only had weeks! A strenuous diet plan which was high in protein and low in carbs, as well as an intense gym routine, led the star to drop the pounds required in the time frame. After the movie, we’re sure she had a few donuts to make up for the weight loss!
Oprah Winfrey - 26 Pounds
The woman who pretty much-inspired half of America, next up is the incomparable Oprah Winfrey. The ever-motivational Winfrey, who changed America with her own show "Oprah," was true to her can-do attitude and figured she had to lose weight and would do it on her own. Not resorting to sleeve surgery or any procedures, Oprah took it slow and decided to team up with the people at Weight Watchers. It’s safe to say it was a success! All you need is consistency and self-belief; that’s it!
Following the famed points system, Oprah even became a spokeswoman for the program, losing over 25 pounds from the partnership! Also, um, can we talk about the fact that the endorsement made her $65 million richer? Not like she needed MORE money, but hey, knowing Oprah, she’s probably donated it to a worthy cause. A true legend.
Ed Sheeran - 50 Pounds
The "Shape of You" singer wasn’t well, so in shape. We apologize profusely for that terrible pun – but it was there for the taking, so we went for it. Anyways, Ed Sheeran is known for his one-man-band style of performance, and it seems that the same was true for his amazing weight loss transformation!
No magic pills, no magic exercise regimes – just consistency, hard work, and dedication. When you’re trying to lose weight, you’re literally a one-man band. Heh. But Ed Sheeran followed the tried and true path – eat less and exercise more and dropped around 50 pounds. When there’s a will, there’s a way!
Holly Hagan - 40 Pounds
Good old "Geordie Shore." One of those trash reality TV series that people just can’t seem to get enough of. Holly Hagan is well known as the red-headed, fiery little lady who gave a lot of personality to the show! After years of heavy food – a lot of fast food which was often deep-fried and probably delicious – Hagan decided to ditch it all and get on a health kick!
With the help of a PT, Hagan was fighting fit in just months and had her diet “fixed.” Fast forward, and Hagan is 40 pounds lighter and looking gorgeous! Nowadays, she’s a big proponent of healthy eating and looking after yourself – she now calls her personal weight loss journey an “education.”
Candace Cameron - 22 Pounds
Ah, "Full House." What a series, eh? Not to play with puns too much, but Candace Cameron, in her role as D.J. Tanner, certainly was sporting a fuller figure. Fast forward from her part as the slightly fuller 16-year-old, and Candace Cameron Bure is a different woman!
Sure, age will help you lose that puppy fat from when you were a teen, but Cameron opened up, telling media outlets that she got rid of 22 pounds the old-fashioned way. No special help, no fad diet, no intense regime – just adjusting her lifestyle, incorporating better foods, and exercising more regularly! See, folks – it’s really a lot simpler than we make it out to be – put down that cayenne pepper water and maple syrup and go for a walk outside!
