Hollywood celebrities are usually pencil thin but there are a few high-profile actresses who have battled the bulge. The journey has proved to be a slippery slope for some, while others have found their way back and vowed never to put the weight back on.
We’ve showcased ten famous television and movie personalities who have shed the pounds. Their methods include surgical intervention, weight loss programs like Jenny Craig, and in a few cases personal trainers.
Kirstie Alley, Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah, Carrie Fisher and Valerie Bertinelli have been poster women for Jenny Craig, and Marie Osmond shed her excess weight with the help of NutriSystem.
The Cheers actress suffered a setback, gaining back all of her weight but got another jump start when she signed on for Dancing with the Stars. She has since dropped 100 pounds. Another DWTS alum who credited the show with her trimmer figure is Kelly Osbourne.
Star Jones underwent a surgical procedure but denied the fact for several years. Ricki Lake dropped an amazing 140 pounds, while Sherri Shepherd shed enough pounds to flaunt a swimsuit on The View. She later suffered some backsliding before trimming down once again for her recent wedding.
