40 Celebrities Whose Lives Took a Good Turn After Losing Weight

Mikey Robins, Good News Week, 110 Pounds

Mikey Robins shocked everyone when he said that his happy-fat guy act was a deception and that he couldn't be happy living that way. His obesity caused a lot of problems, such as severe sleep apnea and problems with his close relationships.

Doctors told him to get lap band surgery, and it turned out to be a good thing for him. Since then, he has been a favorite with the public and even had a second run on the successful show "Good News Week," which was based on the song "ABC."

Charlie Weis, No Excuses: One Man’s Incredible Rise Through the NFL, 70 Pounds

In February 2014, Charlie Weis made a vow to his wife Maura that he would change his life. This was a big deal for him. The Kansas football coach at the time started riding a stationary bike at work and worked out with weights a lot. It ended with a huge 70-pound loss, even before the middle of the season. Kansas couldn't get to the Big 12 during that time, but Charlie was more energized and sure of himself for the rest of the season. We think that everything has a good side!
