15 Celebrities Who Lost a Ton of Weight

Christina Aguilera

Shonda Rhimes

The "Scandal" creator caused quite a stir when she recently dropped 98 pounds in one year!

"I realized that I could either spend my life thinking, 'I wish I could lose weight,' or 'I'm going to,' or 'I'm trying to.' One of those was going to need to happen, but I couldn't be the whiner anymore," Shonda Rhimes, who has three children, told Women's Health. "But I was like, 'This isn't ever going to be any fun, but you're just going to have to do it anyway.'"

She looks great!

John Goodman

The former "Roseanne" star is known for his husky on-screen persona, but that didn't stop John Goodman from finally dropping more than 100 pounds. Goodman chatted with Howard Stern and said, "I decided to stop stuffing food into my mouth every five minutes. Turns out I was just eating all the time. Any time I had my hands open or free, I shoved something in my mouth. It's all crap."

What an amazing transformation!

Jennifer Hudson

The once-zaftig "American Idol" alum is not only an Oscar winner, but Jennifer Hudson also won the battle of the bulge when she lost 80 pounds as the spokeswoman for Weight Watchers. She's even managed to keep it off! Hudson, who wanted to get thin enough to post a bikini selfie, told Yahoo!, "That was a goal of the summer! I was like, 'I want to put on a swimming suit this summer!'"

Good for her!

Sam Smith

The 23-year-old British singer, and recent Oscar winner, dropped nearly 50 pounds this year. Sam Smith isn't shy about discussing his relationship with food, telling "Today," "My relationship with food has just completely changed. During the process of this album ["In the Lonely Hour"], I just was getting bigger and bigger and bigger."

Let's hope he keeps the weight off and keeps the music coming.

Zach Galifianakis

He stole the show in "The Hangover," but Zach Galifianakis got serious about losing weight after realizing he needed say goodbye to alcohol.

The "Birdman" star told Conan O'Brien, "I stopped drinking and I just kind of put the weight off. … I was having a lot of vodka with sausage—delicious but bad for you." That does sound good!

Ricki Lake

The talk show host may have lost her season of "Dancing With The Stars," but Ricki Lake won the weight-loss battle by losing at least 20 pounds while training for the show.

"I was on the Derek Hough diet and it works," Lake said. "I lost 20 to 25 pounds, and I went down two sizes."

Good for her!
