Rebel Wilson has been known for playing the overweight funny character in films. Wilson, who is best known for playing Fat Amy in the Pitch Perfect films, recently admitted she even gained weight because she believed it would help her career. She also admitted she suffers from a hormonal balance that causes her to easily gain weight. Rebel’s weight loss journey began in April 2016, and she was spotted with her smaller figure recently on the Pitch Perfect 3 set. However, she says she enjoys being herself and is only losing weight for herself, not because the media believe she needs to.
The Scottish singer, Susan Boyle, who came into the spotlight after performing on “Britain’s Got Talent,” in 2009, was told she needed to lose weight after being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Boyle changed her diet and eliminated sweets completely. She also tries to walk at least 2 miles each day. Boyle has lost close to 30 pounds! Her 7th studio album “A Wonderful World,” was released in November 2016.
Honey Boo Boo’s mother, “Mama” June Shannon, should consider entering beauty pageants herself, after her recent weight loss. After reality show “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” wrapped in 2014, Mama June began losing weight. She attributes her early weight loss to mainly being occupied with activities and events, and therefore, distracted from food. However, once she started seeing the weight come off, she wanted to continue with her journey. Her manager set her up with a personal trainer and she began walking a few miles every day. She has since increased her weight loss routine and cut out lots of carbs. She reportedly went from a size 28 down to a 4, and lost a total of 300 pounds!
