As a fitness enthusiast and someone who has followed these celebrities’ journeys closely, I must say that each one of them is truly inspiring in their own unique way. From Jessica Alba’s dedication to her health and family, to Sofia Vergara’s commitment to staying fit for her outdoor adventures, these women are role models who embody strength, determination, and balance.
Jelly Roll’s album collection – “Sobriety Sucks”, “Addiction Kills”, “A Beautiful Disaster”, “Self Medicated”, and “Beautifully Broken” – seems to serve as a roadmap for artistic introspection and honesty about struggles with substance abuse.
In essence, this highly accomplished artist, a candidate for Entertainer of the Year at the 2024 CMA Awards, has transformed his challenging life experiences into profound lyrics, using his tumultuous past—which includes childhood trauma, substance abuse, and multiple jail sentences that began when he was just 15 years old—as inspiration to become one of the most sought-after artists globally.
In a conversation during the October episode of ‘The Sunday Sitdown With Willie Geist’, he expressed that deep down, everyone carries some form of damage. He believes that if we were more open and genuine about our vulnerabilities and emotions, it could spark meaningful discussions that lead to growth and progress.
A subject that can sometimes be challenging to talk about, but which Jelly Roll (originally known as Jason Bradley DeFord) has been open about, is his battle with obesity, reaching a peak weight of over 500 pounds in 2015.
He never allowed his larger build to hinder his career progression; instead, he faced obstacles such as being deemed too large for the music industry and having a voice considered insufficiently “cool,” as he shared in the documentary Jelly Roll: Save Me. He referred to these hurdles as mountains that needed to be conquered. As for his personal life, the 6-foot-1 singer acknowledged that he didn’t feel confident about it.
For a long time, Jelly Roll struggled with insecurity about his body and sought validation through the company of attractive women. He reasoned that if he could attract them, it would prove that he was not overweight.
He wasn’t exactly a gentleman, leading multiple lives, as his daughter Bailee (aged 16) and son Noah (aged 8) with different ex-partners could attest. However, everything changed when he met his future spouse, Bunnie XO, in the year 2015.
As soon as I found myself with Bunnie, I felt an instant desire to converse only with her. In fact, all I wanted was to be in her company. We tied the knot in August 2016, just hours after I proposed to her onstage during a Yelawolf and Deftones concert in Las Vegas.
At the same time, he was finally trying to get a handle on his weight.
In an Instagram post from August 2018, he described one of the most humiliating days of his life as the day a doctor recommended he visit a butcher shop or truck stop to find a scale capable of weighing over 500 pounds.
Jelly Roll has been overweight since he was young, a condition he’s carried with him from childhood, given the nickname “Jelly Roll” by his mother. He laments that his entire life has been marked by obesity, expressing his feelings of misery. He yearns for the thrill of activities like skydiving, bungee jumping, riding bulls, parasailing, and enjoying roller coasters – experiences he believes are synonymous with living a typical life. Moreover, he longs for a normal relationship with food, and struggles daily against addictions and alcoholism.
In the latter part of 2016, I found myself battling for my life and shedding weight rapidly. By the end of it all, I had lost a whopping 200 pounds. However, as fate would have it, I managed to regain about 60 of those pounds. Now, I’m reaching out to my devoted fans, inviting them into my journey, so they can help keep me accountable and cheer me on as I strive for a healthier lifestyle once more.
He expressed that life on the road, constantly staying at truck stops and consistently running behind schedule for performances, lack of proper rest, and excessive drinking have taken a toll on him. Furthermore, he mentioned that today marks the beginning of his struggle against a lifelong battle he faces.
And while his new temple wasn’t built in a day, Jelly Roll recommitted to looking after his health.
He shared an update on X in February 2023, stating: “I’ve been working out every day, focusing on prayer and meditation, improving my diet – shedding some pounds. I’m committed to delivering the best possible version of myself for my upcoming album and tour. This is what it means to grow and be grateful in the present moment.
Despite the fact that his 3.6 million Instagram followers knew about his plans, there was still a gasp of surprise when the 39-year-old, who had shed over 70 pounds, appeared at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards in May with a noticeably slimmer figure.
Approximately two weeks ago, he completed a 5K race, an achievement he took great pride in as he struggled to walk a full mile back in January.
He shared with People magazine in April that he’s been running between two to three miles daily, for four to six days each week. Additionally, he spends 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna and six minutes in a cold plunge every day. At the moment, his diet is health-conscious as well.
And he wasn’t done.
In a video posted on Instagram on October 23rd during his Beautifully Broken Tour, Jelly remarked, “By this time next year, you won’t even know me when you see me. I’m planning to subject myself to an intense weight training regimen unlike anything I’ve done before.
In a video, Ian Larios, a nutrition coach and chef known for his creative cooking like air-frying Jelly Roll’s chicken and preparing bananas coated in dark chocolate and manuka honey as snacks, praised the “Winning Streak” singer by saying that she had been thriving during her tours.
Larios stated, “He has now lost more than 100 pounds in weight,” which was his significant target since his previous tour.
On November 7th, during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Jelly Roll mentioned that he had lost approximately 120 pounds since the beginning of his journey.
He remarked, “It’s really exciting,” because my past tours were centered around drugs like cocaine and alcohol…But now that we’re in our late 30s and 40s, we’ve swapped those activities for playing senior basketball and enjoying lattes after lunch instead.
But while the highlights of his journey have been most inspiring, Jelly Roll hasn’t reached the summit just yet.
In his words from September, he expressed that the challenge before him is as formidable as a mountain. He’s dedicated to overcoming it, putting in a lot of effort and being meticulous in his approach. He’s treating it seriously, staying hydrated, enduring cold plunges, eating healthily, and overall, doing well.
Simultaneously, he mentioned, “I need to battle the small, mischievous pirate in my mind during those late-night hours. I struggle with food addiction.
His relationship with food has been a battle since birth, he acknowledged.
Jelly Roll has consistently maintained that obesity is closely tied to mental wellbeing. He acknowledges how simple it might seem for others to suggest, “Just eat less and exercise more,” but he doesn’t view food in such a straightforward manner. Instead, he empathizes with the struggle as if he were an addict, having personally experienced addiction.
And he’s had to adjust his life to the realities of the road accordingly.
After years of struggle, I managed to be around people using cocaine without joining them, simply accepting that it was happening around me. Now, I find myself adopting a similar mindset regarding food. Honestly, I’m not embarrassed to admit that I’ve had to make significant changes, such as deciding I don’t need any food in my green room. I’m working on redefining my entire perspective on food.
occasionally frightened by his own negative thoughts, he often referred to them as a persistent, terrifying cycle or an ever-present monster.
However, Jelly Roll emphasized, “I have a strong network of support surrounding me, and I can attest to the authenticity of those well-worn phrases. When they advise you to step outside in the sun and drink water, it sounds simple, but it’s challenging. I initially found it difficult, but then I tried it. To my surprise, I felt so much better!
To reinforce the honesty exhibited by Jelly Roll, let’s delve into the weight loss stories shared by other prominent figures:
Indeed, the talk show host appears more confident these days. After discovering she was pre-diabetic, the singer told People that she lost weight by following her doctor’s advice, saying “I hadn’t been doing so for a couple of years,” and added that she is successful 90% of the time because a protein-rich diet suits her health needs as well.
She is a Texas girlie after all, “so I like meat—sorry, vegetarians in the world!”
The mother of River and Remington is relishing her new experiences in New York City as well. She mentioned, “Navigating the city gives quite a workout.” Additionally, she’s currently fond of infrared saunas and recently tried out a cold plunge, as everyone persuaded her to do so.
The weight loss medication of the moment is not part of her medical arsenal: She clarified on an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show in May 2024, “My doctor has been after me for about two years, and I said, ‘No, I’m scared of it. I already have thyroid issues.'” It isn’t Ozempic that everyone assumes; instead, she mentioned another unspecified medicine, “Something that helps in breaking down sugar—apparently my body doesn’t process it correctly.
You get some health advice! And you get some health advice! Because now that the media legend is feeling better than ever, she’s dishing out her best tips. “It’s not one thing,” she stressed to Entertainment Tonight of her treadmill workouts, hikes, water consumption and nutritious eats, “it’s everything.”
Oprah Winfrey hasn’t disclosed the specific weight loss medication she’s taking, but in an interview with People magazine in December, she expressed that having a medically approved prescription for managing weight and improving health feels like a relief, redemption, and a gift. She added that she is finished with the embarrassment from others and herself about weight-related issues.
In a July 2023 Instagram post, the HGTV personality shared his personal story of transforming his life over a two-year period, detailing his fitness journey.
He mentioned that at times, one might believe they’re on the right path, but what they truly require is a change in direction to experience development. Previously, his schedule included an occasional hot yoga session with his partner Heather Rae El Moussa, yet he acknowledged that he lacked a structured routine, wasn’t monitoring his protein consumption, and wasn’t receiving any guidance.
Introduce: Nutritionist Sean Torbati. He shared, “I’m choosing the right meals and practicing hot yoga 1-2 times a week, which greatly benefits my mental and physical health.” He elaborated, “It boils down to staying motivated and persistent.
When he understood deeply his strong desire to feel well and stay healthy – for himself, his family, and his long life – that was the moment he buckled down and started working diligently!
In a recent disclosure, the co-host of the View confessed that she turned to the drug Mounjaro, which is primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes, as a means to lose weight following a weight gain in 2021.
During the making of ‘Till’, I tipped the scales at nearly 300 pounds. Back then, I was heavily reliant on steroids and various other substances. What’s aiding my weight loss journey now is Mounjaro – it’s what I rely on for support.
The television personality is confidently aware of her fabulousness, whether or not you offer your compliments, by the way. In response to rumors about her physical transformation, the star of “My Big Fat Fabulous Life” clarified in a post on Instagram last February that she has not undergone any medical procedures to lose weight.
She mentioned that she had shed 100 pounds from her earlier weight of 385 pounds, with 50 of those losses coming after the passing of her mom, Barbara “Babs” Thore in December 2022. Currently, she weighs around 285 pounds and has maintained this weight for nearly a year.
To sum up, she expressed, “I appreciate your kind words, yet I prefer not to dwell on my physique. It’s something I dislike for myself and I find it uncomfortable when others focus on it too.
It is known that she is attractive no matter where she is, whether it’s in Cleveland, Los Angeles, or any other place for that matter. The actress presented a unique perspective on self-image through an Instagram post in February.
The Food Network host posted a 2014 bikini picture with the caption, “This is a body that weighs 150lbs on a height of 5’4.” She no longer weighs herself due to the fact that this weight is considered overweight by certain standards, ones she now finds foolish. For too long, she had accepted these standards as truth.
Free from diet-related stress, she confidently affirmed, “At last, I truly understand that I am a compassionate, humorous, and thoughtful individual.” She emphasized, “Never let your self-worth be dictated by your weight or size. You are more than enough – exactly as you are.
As for anyone that might not agree, she summed up, “F–k ‘em.”
The musician, feeling like a rockstar, has been experiencing immense joy since shedding approximately 55 pounds. In an Instagram post from April 2023, he admitted, “Many people have inquired about my weight loss journey, and I’d say it positively impacts my stage presence.” He continued, “I’m enjoying myself on stage more than ever before, and I’ve never felt healthier.
His inspiration, as he explained, was the daughter he welcomed in 2022: “I suppose fatherhood took hold and I decided to give up soda and start eating healthier so I can stick around for a while longer for this little one. Next on my list is quitting smoking and alcohol, but I like to think of myself as a patient man.
Indeed, she did experience the urge to quickly return to her previous shape after giving birth to son Sidney in November 2022. As she shared with TopMob News, she became determined to shed the 85 pounds she gained during pregnancy within that postpartum period. Her motivation was strong as she wanted to avoid any discussions about her weight and instead prefer to be left in peace.
She didn’t suggest her extremely rigorous method, instead, she described it as demanding and uncomfortable: “It was quite challenging,” she admitted. “It was a tough experience. I felt constantly hungry, but I’m very pleased with the outcome.
The former star of “Roseanne” has experienced a rollercoaster of ups and downs during his health odyssey. As he admitted in 2017, “In the past, I would take three months off, shed 60-70 pounds, indulge myself with a six-pack or something similar, then fall back into my old habits.” This time around, though, he opted for a gradual approach: “I’m getting to an age where I can’t afford to be idle any longer. I need to keep moving, exercise.
His smart lifestyle changes – including plenty of walking and a diet rich in fish, vegetables, and nuts from the Mediterranean region – have enabled him to keep off 200 pounds. He confessed to Men’s Health that it feels like a recovery process, but one he cherishes deeply.
Following the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, the loss of his father and brother due to heart attacks, the host of “The Price Is Right” chose to embark on a journey towards healthier dining options.
As an absolute devotee, I shared with Entertainment Tonight my secret recipe for success that revolves around abstaining from carbs. I’ve slipped up a few times, but generally speaking, it’s no carbs – not even a single cracker! No bread whatsoever, no pizza, nothing of the sort. No corn, no beans, and no starches in any form. For breakfast, I opt for egg whites or Greek yogurt, with some fresh fruit on the side.
And to wash it all down, “I don’t drink anything but water,” he said. “No coffee, no tea, no soda.”
The star of “1000-lb Sisters” has experienced significant advantages following a substantial setback. After losing an impressive 440 pounds, she’s marked several important achievements, as showcased on her TLC program: Experiencing flight for the first time, fastening her seatbelt on an airplane and sitting in the front seat of a car, soaring in a hot air balloon and enjoying rides at Disney World.
Slaton pointed out on TikTok in February that some people overlook minor things, such as easily fastening a seatbelt without needing an extender. However, it holds significant importance for him because he hasn’t been able to do so for several years.
Now, the reality star explained, “I’m essentially congratulating myself for accomplishing something significant and continuing to do so. Losing weight and truly living are what I’m currently experiencing. It’s safe to say that I’m living my life now.
Lift your glasses in celebration as the former Vanderpump Rules star offers a health-focused update. As a Jenny Craig representative, she’s eager to witness progress following her renewed dedication to the diet plan. However, she emphasized to TopMob News in February that she’s not only aiming for weight loss but also striving to be the best possible version of herself for her son. While she desires to shed some pounds, she places greater importance on instilling healthy lifestyle habits for her and Jax Taylor’s son Cruz.
The promising actor from “The Valley” expressed, “I strongly believe it’s crucial to demonstrate a balanced lifestyle to him. Exercise plays a significant role in my life and well-being. I feel that embarking on a positive health journey is incredibly vital for me.
The effort she’s put into shaping her physique through rigorous strength training has finally yielded results for the committed musician.
In 2023, the star shared with People that they feel incredibly proud of their personal journey. They explained that fitness has now deeply integrated into their everyday life. They’ve demonstrated discipline and dedication by consistently exercising and prioritizing their health.
After putting in so much effort, she mentioned that she might need to launch a Fitness Bootcamp program soon. Here’s a glimpse: A vigorous blend of deadlifts, jump-roping, forward lunges and mountain climbers. “This is quite intense,” she exclaimed in one video. “Yet I can see those amazing thighs getting firmer.
In March 2020, when the world went into lockdown, not long after the actress who starred in “Pretty Little Liars” welcomed her first child named Atlas, she expressed feeling less motivated than ever. Sharing with TopMob News, she said, “Everything seemed to have slowed down, and I just thought, well, why not take a break?
Instead of sticking to workout routines and maintaining a balanced diet, she abandoned both as the initial phase of postpartum gave way to the unstructured eating habits of 2020, which she described as consuming solely unhealthy food. This change in diet left her feeling less satisfied with her body.
As a die-hard admirer, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and doubt when the prospect of joining Kelsey Heenan’s 4 Weeks of Focus program through Openfit presented itself.
For the past four weeks, she started her days with a glass of warm water infused with lemons and followed it up with a 30-minute workout that combined HIIT, cardio, and strength training. She also made a commitment to eat healthier meals, opting for pizza with a side of spinach if the craving struck. After this routine, she was thoroughly convinced, exclaiming, “Wow, I never thought I’d lift weights this heavy!”, as she admitted she had never lifted anything over 40 pounds before in her active life.
Despite perspiring considerably during workouts, it’s not the minor details that matter to the fitness influencer. Known as Fat Girl Fed Up online, this social media star shared in a December Instagram post that she hadn’t managed to drop below 200 pounds, which was her target weight. Yet, she still felt like commemorating the achievement.
She acknowledged, “Every bit of progress counts, even if it seems minor.” She had given her best during the week, but knew that she hadn’t piled on the extra weight quickly, so she wouldn’t be able to shed it in a snap either. Her advice was simple: keep moving forward, regardless of the circumstances.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d say: “Each step I take brings me closer to my health paradise. It may be just around the corner or further down the road, but rest assured, we’ll reach it together. Persist, trust your abilities, and remember it’s about progress, not perfection.
As a lifestyle enthusiast on a personal growth path, I found myself yearning to enhance my strength to conquer a more demanding gymnastics regimen, and, much like the inspiring figure from “Queer Eye,” I successfully nailed that transformation in my fitness journey.
They mentioned in a TikTok from August 2022 that they started seeing a nutritionist back in April. Since then, they’ve shed about 35 lbs. As for the reason behind this transformation, it was due to their desire to alter their body size, specifically because of their gymnastics and professional commitments.
However, they cautioned, don’t assume you’re going to nail that metaphorical aerial on your first try. “It took three weeks before I saw any change,” the Love That Story author admitted. “So, if you’re wanting to make a change, literally three weeks of working out and eating differently before I saw any change.”
By the year 2022, when she would be thirty, the former Disney Channel star decided to embark on a fresh fitness routine.
As a child, I would wear a shirt while swimming. In my late twenties, I decided it was time for a change and wanted to transform my physique into a muscular one, which is what I’m striving for now. The actor, married to model Barbara Palvin, made this statement in an Instagram post from April, captioned “This is my meat head post.
Between hitting the weights and the kettlebells, it was “a long slog,” he continued, “but I’m proud of the progress I’ve made and I ain’t done yet.”
Occasionally, you’re nailing every high point, but other times, you acknowledge that life isn’t always flawless. This was evident when the actress publicly shared on Instagram in January 2024, following her achievement of a 75-kilogram goal weight in 2020, that she had regained around 30 pounds.
Due to filming obligations interfering with her intense boxing and hiking exercises, Wilson admitted that she has found it difficult to maintain her commitment to a healthy lifestyle, as she had previously worked hard to overcome emotional eating and adopt a protein-rich diet instead of carbs.
Additional pressure resulting in weight gain can make one feel self-conscious, as Wilson confessed, “It’s something I shouldn’t feel this way about, but unfortunately, I do.
Dropping his preferred brews? Affirmative. Adhering to “around three to four hours daily of relentless, high-intensity exercise,” as he detailed his P90X, kickboxing, and running routines to Men’s Journal? Correct.
However, for Pratt, the most challenging aspect of his 60-pound transformation from Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation to Guardians of the Galaxy’s superhero involved consuming vast amounts of water. He had to drink an ounce for each pound of his weight every day.
“I was peeing all day long, every day,” he explained. “That part was a nightmare,”
Despite his previous association with the Baldwin family, it was understandable that fans were taken aback when they learned that the Clueless alumnus would don the Ant-Man suit as the newest Marvel character.
Upon sharing the news about my role in the film being a superhero, I sensed a common response among many was something like, “Paul Rudd as a superhero? Truly?” This sentiment was echoed back in 2015 when I spoke with Variety.
He clearly understood his task at hand, as the seasoned actor opted for the Chris Pratt method of film preparation, which involves sacrificing enjoyment for a full year, allowing him to portray a hero afterwards.
After giving birth to her older children, the author of “Just Eat” decided to revert to her trusted South Beach diet to regain her familiar self. As she explained to TopMob News, the protein-rich diet quickly showed positive results for her. She jumped on the program, exercised regularly, and felt as if everything just clicked into place.
Initially, she cherishes every moment during the postpartum phase. “I always advise mothers,” emphasized Decker, mother of Vivianne, Eric Jr., Forrest, and the expected arrival Denver in February 2024, “not to focus on losing weight.” “Once you have a baby, I urge you not to think about shedding pounds. Instead, nourish your baby. Show affection towards your baby. Your body is still healing after childbirth. You’ll recognize when your body is ready. Don’t let your mind whisper, ‘Lose weight, lose weight.’ Instead, wait for the moment when you sense, ‘I feel ready to have energy and can be active.’
The six-pack is a pleasant outcome of the former Modern Family star’s 90-minute workout routines and improved nutrition. As he shared with People magazine, his diet now primarily consists of lean protein sources, an abundance of vegetables, and avoiding unhealthy options such as soda.
What truly motivates him is checking off an ambitious list of aspirations, as he shared. Many of his personal objectives outside of acting revolve around nature; for instance, he desires to scale towering rock formations in Yosemite, which necessitates getting into peak physical condition. Additionally, a significant ambition of his involves completing the Pacific Crest Trail, a journey stretching along the North American coast from Mexico to Canada and back.
After the birth of daughter Kingsley in September 2022, the former Twilight star admitted to embracing a tough reality: “I don’t believe my body will ever completely return to its previous state,” she expressed in an Instagram post from January 2023. “And I’m learning to accept that.
If she encounters difficulties, she has learned a crucial tactic that is just as vital as the postpartum workout regimen she reaffirmed.
She shared with TopMob News that she goes to collect her cherished daughter. Looking deeply into Kingsley’s eyes, she said, helps her feel grateful instead of finding fault in herself, according to her method of thinking. This is one tactic she uses regularly, she added, because it can be tough not to scrutinize oneself regardless of the situation.
