40 Celebrities Whose Lives Took a Good Turn After Losing Weight

Amber Riley, Glee, 24 Pounds

Amber Riley is best known for playing the confident and daring Mercedes on the TV show "Glee." In real life, she's not that different. Amber used to be a role model for body confidence, but now that she has a new, healthier, and thinner physique, she seems satisfied with it. Why wouldn't she be? Being healthy and fit is the nicest feeling.

She stopped eating fast food initially to lose weight, and we can imagine how hard that must have been for her. Now, she eats well and sticks to a strict fitness plan that includes weightlifting and high-intensity aerobics.

Candace Cameron, Full house, 22 Pounds

We can all agree that it's hard to imagine that Candance Cameron is in her forties. We don't blame you if you think the same thing. People would want to know why this is happening. She says that switching to a primarily vegan diet, with the occasional fish and eggs, is one of the things that helped her lose weight. Candace also agrees that she has never felt so healthy and fit in her life. She also tries to stay away from dairy items because they might make stomach irritation worse, like puffiness.

Dawn French, Delicious, 105 Pounds

After breaking up with Lenny Harry, Dawn French lost a lot of weight very quickly, and we've been amazed by her determination ever since. The actress has always said that her health, not her divorce, was what made her want to reduce weight and get in shape. She says that in the last several years, she shed a huge 105 pounds. Dawn also reminded her admirers that her change wasn't easy and that there wasn't a magic wand or anything else. She merely ate fewer calories and ran and walked for weeks.
