40 Celebrities Whose Lives Took a Good Turn After Losing Weight

Kim Kardashian, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, 70 Pounds

Kim Kardashian is the ultimate beauty and fashion icon. She is a media mogul, a reality TV personality, and an entrepreneur. But she, like the rest of us, had a hard time gaining weight. She hired a personal trainer to help her lose weight and take care of her health.

Kimberly had to follow a very rigorous diet while she was exercising. We say strict because she couldn't even have rice crispy snacks or any other processed sugar or refined carbs in her pantry. That, along with hard exercises and cardio six days a week, worked. People, no suffering, no gain!

Penn Jillette, Scorpion, 100 Pounds.

What is 100 pounds of fat for someone who can pull rabbits out of a hat? Magician Penn Jillette can make anything disappear. We say, "No big deal," and that's precisely what happened. The man did the biggest disappearing act on himself, but this time there was no "Abracadabra!""He lost the extra 100 pounds by working hard and sticking to a tight diet. This diet is really weird, by the way! To begin with, it was all-potato-based food, which meant that every meal was potatoes prepared in different ways. Still, we think that eating one monotonous vegetable for six months to lose 100 pounds is a wonderful deal!
