Rebel Wilson – 65 Pounds – Exercise

Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson declared 2020 to be the year of health after her doctor told her that she would have a better chance at fertility if she lost weight. Although she was first offended by what she heard, she eventually thought of having better quality eggs for her future child.

Wilson, who will star in Senior Year, has so far lost 65 pounds. She announced that she reached her weight goal in October 2020 after hard work. On top of limiting her sugar intake, the Australian actress also trains seven days a week.

Chrissy Metz – 50 Pounds – Unknown

When actress Chrissy Metz was just starting, her agent asked her to slim down, and she did, losing 50 pounds. Before she became known for her role in This Is Us, she starred in American Horror Story. In an episode, she had to wear a fat suit, which was sobering for her because she wondered what would happen if she reached the same size.

When she landed the role of Kate in the NBC drama, the contract indicated that she would need to lose weight as her character’s storyline progressed. This was a win-win for her, and she has been trying to shed pounds on her own terms.

America Ferrera – 30 Pounds – Not Skipping Breakfast

Of course, the star has always been open about her body image struggles, which is what makes it even more admirable.

The Superstore actress is no stranger to feeling bad about her size, but her renewed outlook on fitness made her approach this journey better. On top of not skipping breakfast, her active lifestyle, as she is also a triathlete, largely helped.

GABOUREY SIDIBE – BARIATRIC SURGERY

Gabourey Sidibe is known for her incredible talent as displayed in “Precious,” “American Horror Story,” and “Empire.” She is equally popular for embracing her body unapologetically but away from the spotlight, her attempts to shed off a couple of pounds were proving unsuccessful.

Going under the knife kickstarted the process and she managed to shed 150 pounds from her former 300-pound frame. However, she told Refinery29 that while comments about her weight loss are well-intentioned, she would still prefer to be recognized for her talent. Sidibe has been showcasing her skills in 2021 productions like “The Harper House” and “Asking for It.”
