Garcia had always liked being a little cuddly. It was a little surprising that the star lost so much weight. He has since said that he did it on the advice of doctors and placed his health first. We are very glad that Garcia has become the healthiest and happiest person he can be!

Richards saw that as a challenge and made her life better. The singer started a weight-loss journey and lost more than 84 pounds! The 1,500 calories a day and moderate exercise seem to be doing wonders for her, as she looks great.
