Ain’t nobody, loves me better…what a song, huh? Chaka Khan, the disco queen goddess that she is, has always been a bit of a superstar. Her music changed the scene, especially songs like “Tell Me Something Good,” “Hollywood,” and “Sweet Thing.” At one point, however, the singer’s curves got a little out of control when she tipped the scales at over 200 pounds!
It was at that point she finally decided to do something about it. Nope, she didn’t request the help of a surgeon – Chaka Khan shed 60 pounds by drastically changing her diet and becoming something of a gym bunny! Consistency, consistency, consistency! Nowadays, it’s second nature to Chaka Khan, and she’s never looked better!
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!
Khloe Kardashian - 40 Pounds
Did someone say Revenge Body? The taller of the Kardashians, Khloe, has undergone a crazy transformation. Where she used to carry a few extra pounds, the Kardashian sister is now sporting a much trimmer figure. The TV personality, however, had more of a reason to get in shape – let’s call it fuel for her fire. And that fuel? A bad breakup.
Nothing spurs us on more than a relationship that soured. So adopting a strict diet and the help of a fitness trainer, Khloe managed to drop around 40 pounds following her breakup. Since then, she started her own show, "Revenge Body," which seems appropriate, seeing as she can relate to the contestants!
Paul Wall - 130 Pounds
Rapper Paul Wall made quite a bit of noise on the scene, particularly when he entered. But just at the beginning of his career, the rapper just about hit 320 pounds. At such an alarming weight on the scales, he was urged to lose weight in some way because his heart wasn’t going to be able to take it much longer.
He underwent gastric sleeve surgery. Following the procedure, Wall had to also adopt a strict diet that focused on balance and a lot of fresh fruit and veg, as well as being relatively low in carbs. With a consistent approach, Wall managed to lose a staggering 130 pounds! It seems that after his experience, there’s no going back, as he continues to maintain his newly adopted healthy lifestyle!
