Quinton Aaron is kicking off another point in his health journey.
Quinton Aaron, known for his role as Michael Oher in the 2009 film *The Blind Side*, recently announced he’s made significant progress on his weight loss, showing off a much leaner physique.
He excitedly shared on Instagram on October 12th that he’s reached a significant milestone in his weight loss journey. He weighed himself and discovered he’s lost 200 pounds, bringing his weight down from a high of 575 pounds to 375 pounds. He described the achievement as ‘amazing!’
Along with his message, 41-year-old Quinton shared a before-and-after photo showing his physical progress. He posted a picture of himself from a January 2012 red carpet event next to a recent photo, and mentioned he’s still working towards reaching his ideal weight.
“I have 55 more pounds to go to reach my over all goal of 320lbs,” he continued. “I GOT THIS!!!”
Quinton revealed he lost almost 100 pounds by February 2022. He told TMZ he achieved this by switching from sugary and starchy foods to a high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet. He also emphasized the importance of walking, stretching, and intermittent fasting in his journey to a healthier lifestyle.
Last month, Quinton opened up about his journey and talked about his past difficulties with binge eating.
I was really struck by what he shared on the *Recovery Vow* podcast last September. He described food as being like a drug for him – he wasn’t eating because he was hungry, but just to cope. He’d actually go out and buy food, then sit alone in his car, eating and crying, completely lost and confused about why he felt so awful. It was so raw and honest, and really resonated with me.
Still, Quinton has embraced the idea that progress isn’t linear.
He shared on Instagram on September 23rd that he was incredibly proud of his weight loss, calling the process a challenging but rewarding journey.

The Bravo host detailed his health and fitness journey using an Ozempic-like drug.
During a September 2025 episode of his SiriusXM radio show, Andy Cohen Live, the 57-year-old revealed he’d lost a significant amount of weight over the summer by using a GLP-1 medication. He explained he’d been unhappy with his weight and, after discussing it with his doctor last year, decided to try a GLP-1. The medication was recommended not only to help with his weight, but also to address plaque buildup in his arteries and high blood pressure. He said it’s a beneficial medication for several health issues and he ultimately agreed to start taking it.
He explained that it really helped him control his cravings, which had been a major struggle, and motivated him to be more disciplined with both his diet and exercise.
The singer shared in November 2024 that he had lost 120 pounds.
Jelly Roll explained he intentionally shared his personal challenges publicly, specifically on his wife Bunnie XO’s podcast, *Dumb Blonde*, because he wants to be open and honest with others about his difficulties.
He explained that his success wasn’t *because* of his weight, but rather *despite* it. He wanted everyone to understand that he overcame that challenge to achieve his goals.
The talk show host has been feeling healthier lately. After learning she was pre-diabetic, she started focusing on her health and lost weight. She told *People* magazine that she’s been following her doctor’s advice – something she hadn’t consistently done for a couple of years. She also mentioned that eating a protein-rich diet works well for her and she sticks to it most of the time.
She is a Texas girlie after all, “so I like meat—sorry, vegetarians in the world!”
The mother of River and Remington is settling into her new life in New York City and enjoying the change of pace. She joked that walking around the city is great exercise, and she’s been trying out new wellness trends like infrared saunas and, after a lot of encouragement, even got a cold plunge.
The popular weight loss drug wasn’t part of her plan. She explained on *The Kelly Clarkson Show* in May 2024 that her doctor had been suggesting it for two years, but she was hesitant because of existing thyroid issues. While many assume it was Ozempic, she clarified it was a different medication – one that helps her body process sugar more effectively, something she struggles with naturally.
Everyone’s getting health advice from a media icon who’s feeling fantastic! She shared her secrets with Entertainment Tonight, explaining that it’s not just one thing that keeps her healthy – it’s a combination of regular treadmill workouts, hiking, drinking plenty of water, and eating well. She emphasized that it’s *everything* working together.
Oprah Winfrey recently shared that she’s using a weight loss medication, though she hasn’t revealed which one. In an interview with *People* magazine, she described it as a welcome relief, a chance to finally address her weight without shame, and a gift after years of public scrutiny. She stated she’s finished with feeling ashamed, both from others and from herself.
The HGTV personality demonstrated a remarkable life change by sharing details of his two-year fitness journey in an Instagram post from July 2023.
He explained that sometimes what feels right isn’t what you actually need to improve – you might need a new direction. While he used to occasionally do hot yoga with his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, he realized he wasn’t consistently working out, monitoring his diet, or getting any professional advice.
Nutritionist Sean Torbati says he’s focused on healthy eating and doing hot yoga once or twice a week, which he finds really beneficial for both his mental and physical wellbeing. He believes that staying motivated and persistent is key to success.
He had a turning point when he truly understood how much he wanted to prioritize his health and well-being – not just for himself, but for his family and future. That’s when he committed to making real changes and started working towards his goals!
The cohost of *The View* shared that she used Mounjaro, a medication for type 2 diabetes, to lose weight after gaining weight in 2021.
She revealed on a recent talk show that she weighed close to 300 pounds while filming the movie Till. She explained that she had been using steroids and other substances, and that the weight loss medication Mounjaro has been a key part of her weight loss journey. “That’s what I use,” she stated.
The Grammy-winning artist is aware people noticed her impressive physical transformation, which she achieved through a combination of diet, exercise, and a weight loss medication that works with the body’s natural processes.
In a March 2025 Instagram post, she shared that she’s feeling great after making significant changes to her lifestyle following her second pregnancy. These changes included working with a dietician, starting a fitness routine with a trainer, and utilizing medication like Mounjaro with professional support.
The reality TV star is confident in her appearance, regardless of what others think. She recently addressed rumors about weight loss, posting on Instagram in February, “I really don’t like talking about this, but I haven’t had any surgery or medical procedures to lose weight.”
She’s lost 100 pounds, bringing her weight down from 385 to 285, including 50 pounds lost after her mother, Barbara “Babs” Thore, passed away in December 2022. She’s maintained this weight of 285 pounds for nearly a year.
Simply put, she said she appreciated the compliments, but she doesn’t like focusing on appearances – either her own or anyone else’s.
The actress, knowing she’s considered attractive no matter where she goes, recently shared her thoughts on body image in an Instagram post last February.
The Food Network host shared an old bikini photo from 2014 and discussed her weight. She mentioned she weighs 150 pounds despite being 5’4″ and has stopped weighing herself because she doesn’t care about arbitrary weight standards. She regrets having paid attention to them in the past.
Free from the stress of dieting, she realized she was a kind, funny, and thoughtful person. She emphasized that your worth and personality shouldn’t be defined by your size or weight – you are valuable exactly as you are.
As for anyone that might not agree, she summed up, “F–k ‘em.”
The musician says he feels fantastic and like a rockstar after losing 55 pounds. In an Instagram post from April 2023, he admitted people have been asking about his weight loss and how it affects his performances. He shared that he’s really enjoying being on stage and feels healthier than ever.
He explained that becoming a father in 2022 was a major source of motivation for him. He decided to quit soda and improve his diet, wanting to be healthy and present for his daughter for many years to come. He plans to tackle quitting smoking and drinking alcohol next, but considers himself a patient person and is taking things one step at a time.
She admitted feeling a lot of pressure to lose weight after giving birth to her son, Sidney, in November 2022. She told TopMob News that losing 85 pounds became her main focus. “I became fixated on it,” she explained, “because I just wanted to avoid people talking about my body and be left alone.”
She’s not suggesting everyone follow her intense plan, but it worked for her. “It took a lot of effort, and honestly, it wasn’t enjoyable,” she explained. “I was constantly hungry, but I’m thrilled with how it turned out.”
The actor, known for his role in *Roseanne*, has experienced many ups and downs with his health. He used to drastically lose weight—sometimes 60 or 70 pounds—over three months, then fall back into unhealthy habits. As he explained in 2017, he decided to take a different approach this time, focusing on gradual changes like moving more and exercising. He realized he needed to stay active as he gets older.
Let me tell you, I’ve seen so many transformations, and this one really highlights what works long-term. This gentleman lost a remarkable 200 pounds, and he did it through simple, sustainable habits. He focuses on staying active – lots of walking is key! – and eats a diet inspired by the Mediterranean. Think plenty of fish, vibrant vegetables, and healthy nuts. He even calls it a ‘life of rehab,’ but in the best way possible. It’s not about restriction, it’s about genuinely enjoying a healthier lifestyle, and that’s a ‘labor of love’ he’s happy to embrace.
Following his type 2 diabetes diagnosis and the loss of his father and brother to heart attacks, the host of *The Price Is Right* committed to improving his diet.
He told Entertainment Tonight his secret to staying in shape was avoiding carbohydrates completely. He said he rarely ate any carbs at all – not even things like crackers, bread, pizza, corn, or beans. He usually started his day with egg whites or Greek yogurt and a little bit of fruit, but otherwise stuck to a carb-free diet, with only occasional treats.
And to wash it all down, “I don’t drink anything but water,” he said. “No coffee, no tea, no soda.”
After losing an incredible 440 pounds, the star of *1000-lb Sisters* has experienced many exciting firsts, all shown on her TLC show. These include flying on an airplane, being able to buckle her seatbelt and sit in the front seat of a car, riding in a hot air balloon, and enjoying rides at Disney World.
In a recent TikTok video, Slaton shared how much it means to her to be able to do everyday things like buckle a seatbelt without needing an extender. She explained that it’s a big accomplishment for her, as she hadn’t been able to do it for years, and it’s easy to take simple tasks like that for granted.
I’m really proud of what I’ve accomplished,” the reality star explained. “I’ve worked hard to lose weight and now I’m finally enjoying life to the fullest. It feels good to be able to say that I’m truly living.”
The *Vanderpump Rules* star is focusing on health and wellness. She’s back on the Jenny Craig plan and hoping to see positive changes, but she also wants to be a good role model for her son. She shared with TopMob News in February that while losing weight would be great, it’s even more important to show healthy habits to her and Jax Taylor’s son, Cruz.
The future star of *The Valley* explained that she wants to model a healthy lifestyle for him. She emphasized how important exercise is for both her physical and mental well-being, and believes starting a positive health journey is crucial for her own life.
All her hard work and dedication to strength training has clearly paid off for the musician, resulting in a noticeable physical transformation.
In a 2023 interview with *People* magazine, the star shared how proud they are of their progress. They explained that staying fit is now a core part of their life, and they’ve consistently prioritized their health through regular exercise and dedication.
As you guys know, I’ve been really focused on my fitness lately, and honestly, I’m feeling *amazing*. I’ve been thinking about creating a ‘Hottie Bootcamp’ – a super intense workout I’ve been doing myself. Picture this: we’re talking deadlifts, jump rope, lunges, and mountain climbers – a total body blast! Let me tell you, it’s tough – I even caught myself saying it *really* burns during one of my sessions! But trust me, the results are worth it – you’ll be feeling and seeing a difference, especially in your lower body. I’m so excited to potentially share this with you all!
When the pandemic began in March 2020, just a few months after the former *Pretty Little Liars* star had her first daughter, Atlas, she admitted to TopMob News that she felt incredibly unmotivated. With everything suddenly stopping, she decided to just let go and not worry about it.
Okay, let’s be real. After having a baby, I totally let my healthy habits slip. Those workout routines? Gone. And my usual ‘everything in moderation’ approach to food? Forget about it! Honestly, 2020 just felt like a free-for-all of unhealthy choices, and it really started to affect how I felt about my body. I was missing that good, strong feeling, and knew I needed to make a change.
She was excited but also a little doubtful when she heard about Openfit’s 4 Weeks of Focus program led by trainer Kelsey Heenan.
After consistently starting her days for a month with warm water and lemon, followed by 30 minutes of varied exercise – including HIIT, cardio, and strength training – she felt completely transformed. She adopted a flexible approach to healthy eating, allowing herself treats while still making nutritious choices (“If I want pizza, I’ll have pizza and add some spinach”). She was amazed by the results, saying, “I couldn’t believe how strong I was becoming! I’ve always been active, but I’d never lifted weights that heavy before.”
As a lifestyle expert, I always tell people it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress! I really admire how openly Fat Girl Fed Up—that’s her online handle—shares her journey. She recently posted on Instagram about not *quite* reaching her weight goal of under 200 pounds, but instead of getting discouraged, she decided to celebrate anyway. And honestly? That’s the energy we all need! It’s not about the small setbacks; it’s about recognizing how far you’ve come and celebrating *that*.
She reminded herself that even small steps forward still count. Despite a tough week of hard work, she stayed positive, recognizing that losing weight takes time – it didn’t happen quickly, so it won’t come off quickly either. Her mantra was simple: just keep moving forward, no matter the challenges.
She’s confident she can achieve her health goals. “I’m going to reach my ideal state,” she declared, “whether it takes weeks or years. We’ll get there eventually. Just keep moving forward, believe in yourself, and focus on making progress, not achieving perfection.”
The *Queer Eye* star made significant progress with their health and fitness goals, allowing them to confidently pursue more challenging gymnastics routines.
In an August 2022 TikTok video showcasing their weight loss, they revealed they started working with a nutritionist in April and have since lost 35 pounds. They explained their motivation was to improve their physique for gymnastics and their career.
They did warn, though, not to expect instant results. The author of *Love That Story* shared that it took three weeks of consistent effort before they noticed any difference. So, if you’re trying to change your habits, be prepared to work out and eat differently for about three weeks before you see results.
Before turning thirty in 2022, the former Disney Channel star decided to start a new workout plan.
The actor, who is married to model Barbara Palvin, shared a story on Instagram last April about how he used to be self-conscious about his body as a child and wore a shirt while swimming. He explained that this led him to decide in his late twenties to focus on building muscle, and the post was his way of showing off the results of that effort.
Honestly, seeing him push through all that training – the weights, the kettlebells, everything – it was *tough* to watch, a real grind, but he kept going! And he said it himself, he’s so proud of how far he’s come, but he’s not stopping now, and I just *know* he’s going to keep getting better and better! It’s amazing.
Everyone has ups and downs, and sometimes things don’t go exactly as planned. This was clear when the actress shared honestly on Instagram in January 2024 that she had regained 13.6 kilograms after successfully reaching her goal weight of 75 kilograms in 2020.
Wilson admitted she’s been struggling to maintain her healthy habits due to a busy filming schedule. She explained that it’s been difficult to keep up with her boxing and hiking, making it harder to avoid emotional eating and stick to a protein-rich diet after working so hard to change her eating patterns.
I see this all the time with my clients – stress and weight gain are so often connected. It’s a really tough cycle because feeling bad about yourself just adds to the stress, even though logically, we know it shouldn’t. It’s completely understandable to feel that way, and it’s something we need to address with self-compassion.
Giving up his favorite beers? Okay. And dedicating himself to intense daily workouts – as he told *Men’s Journal* about his P90X, kickboxing, and running – that too.
For Chris Pratt, the most challenging aspect of his 60-pound weight loss—going from his role as Andy Dwyer in *Parks and Recreation* to a superhero in *Guardians of the Galaxy*—was the massive amount of water he had to drink: one ounce for every pound of his body weight each day.
“I was peeing all day long, every day,” he explained. “That part was a nightmare,”
Even though he was already somewhat known, like Cher Horowitz might say, the former star of *Clueless* realized fans were surprised to learn he’d be playing the new Marvel hero, Ant-Man.
Paul Rudd recalled that when he was cast in the movie, many people were surprised, reacting with something like, ‘Paul Rudd as a superhero? Is that really happening?’ He shared this with *Variety* back in 2015.
He understood his task perfectly. He explained that he prepared like Chris Pratt does for action roles: cut out all enjoyable activities for a year, and *then* you can convincingly play the hero.
After having her older children, the author of the *Just Eat* book returned to the South Beach diet to help her feel like herself again. She told TopMob News that the high-protein plan worked quickly. “I started the program, exercised, and immediately felt better,” she said.
Honestly, I hang on every word she says, and she’s SO right about the fourth trimester! She always says, and it makes SO much sense, that getting your body back should be the LAST thing on your mind. After having Vivianne, Eric Jr., Forrest, and now little Denver, she stresses just *feeding* your baby and showering them with love. Seriously, your body just did something incredible and needs to *heal*! Forget what your brain is screaming about losing weight – it’s all about listening to your body. She says you’ll *know* when you have the energy to start moving again, when you physically *feel* ready to run around. It’s so empowering to hear!
He’s been enjoying the results of his fitness journey, including a noticeable six-pack. This comes from working out for 90 minutes at a time and eating a much healthier diet – lots of lean protein and vegetables, while avoiding sugary drinks like soda, as he told *People* magazine.
What truly motivates him is achieving a long list of personal goals. He’s particularly passionate about outdoor adventures. “I have a lot of ambitions outside of acting,” he said, “like climbing in Yosemite, so I’m working on getting in shape for that.” He also dreams of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, a long-distance path stretching from Mexico to Canada along the American coast.
After giving birth to her daughter Kingsley in September 2022, the actress, known for *Twilight*, realized her body had changed. She shared on Instagram in January 2023 that she was accepting of these changes, saying she didn’t think her body would ever be quite the same, and she was learning to be okay with that.
If she’s having a hard time, she’s learned a helpful trick – just as important as getting back into her exercise routine after having a baby.
As a mom, one of the things I do to stay grounded is really *look* at my daughter. Seriously, making eye contact with Kingsley instantly shifts my perspective. It reminds me to focus on gratitude instead of picking apart everything I do. It’s a little trick I’ve learned because, let’s be real, it’s so easy to be your own harshest critic, no matter what you’re working on.
