You know, I’ve been thinking a lot about self-worth lately, and it reminds me of something Melissa shared with me. She was so honest about the fact that discovering your own value isn’t a quick fix – it’s a journey, not a destination. It takes time and effort, and it definitely doesn’t happen overnight. It really resonated with me, and I think it’s something a lot of us can relate to.
She shared with People magazine in April 2023 that she reached a point in her 30s where she felt comfortable with herself. She realized it was okay if not everyone approved of who she was, explaining that you eventually learn it’s impossible to please everyone—and that’s a valuable lesson.

The Bravo host detailed his health and fitness journey using an Ozempic-like drug.
I have to admit, I saw a real change this summer. I managed to lose a significant amount of weight by trying a GLP-1 medication, as I heard Andy Cohen share on his SiriusXM radio show back in September 2025. He explained he’d been really struggling with his weight and, after talking it over with his doctor last year, they’d suggested a GLP-1 a few times. It wasn’t just about how he felt about his weight, but also about tackling some health issues like plaque buildup and high blood pressure. He said it’s a medication that can actually help with a lot of things, and he finally decided to give it a try – and I’m glad he did!
He explained that it significantly reduced his cravings, which had been a major struggle, and motivated him to be more consistent with his diet and exercise routine.
The singer shared in November 2024 that he had lost 120 pounds.
Jelly Roll explained he openly shared his story because he wants to be honest with others about his challenges.
Okay, so listen, he had to say this, and honestly, it’s everything. He explained that people keep talking about his weight and how it factored into his success, but he wants everyone to understand this: he didn’t succeed because of his size, he succeeded in spite of it. It’s like, he overcame that, and that’s what made him amazing! I just… I needed everyone to know his truth.
Oh my gosh, did you see her? She just seems…brighter, you know? Apparently, doctors told her she was pre-diabetic, and she’s been taking it so seriously! She told People magazine she’s lost weight because she’s finally listening to her doctors – she admitted she hadn’t been for a couple of years. And she’s doing amazing! She said she sticks to a protein diet most of the time, and honestly, it really suits her anyway. I’m just so proud of her for taking care of herself!
She is a Texas girlie after all, “so I like meat—sorry, vegetarians in the world!”
Oh my gosh, she’s just living her BEST life in New York! I’m so obsessed! She’s a mom to the cutest kids, River and Remington, and she’s totally embracing everything the city has to offer. She said walking everywhere is like a serious workout, which, honestly, relatable! And get this – she’s into infrared saunas, which I need to try, and everyone convinced her to get a cold plunge! I mean, she does everything so effortlessly, it’s amazing! I’m living for this new chapter of hers.
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 due to 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.
Oh my gosh, you guys, she’s giving us her secrets! I just read that she’s feeling incredible, and she finally shared what she does to stay so healthy! It’s not like some miracle diet or anything, she told Entertainment Tonight, it’s literally everything working together – her treadmill walks, all those amazing hikes she posts, how much water she drinks, and of course, eating really well. Seriously, I need to start doing all of it, right now! She’s an inspiration!
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 expressed feeling relieved and grateful that a medically approved option exists, calling it a ‘gift.’ She explained that she’s finished with the shame and judgment she’s experienced, both from others and herself, regarding her weight.
The HGTV personality demonstrated a remarkable life transformation, sharing details of his two-year fitness journey in an Instagram post from July 2023.
He explained that sometimes what feels like the right path actually requires a change in direction to truly improve. While he used to occasionally do hot yoga with his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, he realized he hadn’t been consistently working out, monitoring his diet, or getting professional advice.
Nutritionist Sean Torbati emphasizes the importance of both a healthy diet and regular exercise, like hot yoga, for overall well-being. As a father of three, he believes staying motivated and persistent are key to maintaining a good mental and physical state.
He had a turning point when he truly understood how much he wanted to improve his health and well-being – not just for himself, but for his family and future. That’s when he fully committed and started working towards his goals!
The cohost of The View shared that she used Mounjaro, a drug for type 2 diabetes, to lose weight after gaining weight in 2021.
She revealed on a recent talk show that she weighed nearly 300 pounds while filming 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.
The Grammy-winning artist is aware people noticed her impressive physical transformation. She attributes it to a combination of things – changes to her diet and exercise routine, and also the use of a weight loss medication called a GLP-1.
I’m so happy to share that I finally feel amazing! After my second pregnancy, I knew I needed to make a real change, so I teamed up with a dietician and a trainer to revamp my lifestyle. I also leaned on science and got support – Mounjaro really helped! It was a big step, but honestly, it was so worth it, and I’m feeling better than ever.
The reality star is confident in herself, with or without anyone’s approval. She recently addressed rumors about weight loss, stating in an Instagram post that she hasn’t had any medical procedures to achieve it. She expressed her dislike for having to address the speculation, but wanted to clarify that the rumors were false.
Although she’s lost 100 pounds, bringing her weight down from 385 to 285—including 50 pounds after her mother, Barbara “Babs” Thore, passed away in December 2022—she’s remained at 285 pounds for nearly a year.
Simply put, she said, “I appreciate the nice things you’ve said, but I’m not comfortable focusing on appearances – either my 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 a February Instagram post.
The Food Network host shared an old bikini photo from 2014 and talked about her body image. She mentioned she weighs 150 pounds and is 5’4″ tall, but doesn’t focus on the scale anymore. She feels that weight standards are arbitrary and regrets letting them bother her for so long.
Once she stopped focusing on dieting, she realized she was a kind, funny, and thoughtful person. She wants everyone to remember that their personality and character are far more important than their size or weight. You are valuable and worthy just as you are.
As for anyone that might not agree, she summed up, “F–k ‘em.”
The musician says he feels amazing 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’s affecting his performances. He shared that he’s really enjoying being on stage and feels healthier than ever.
Let me tell you, becoming a dad in 2022 completely changed my life! It really made me think about my health. I decided to ditch soda and start making better food choices – I want to be around for my little girl for a long, long time. I’m working on cutting out smoking and beer next, but I’m taking it one step at a time. I’m a patient person, so I know I’ll get there!
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. She explained she became fixated on it because she simply wanted to avoid the topic altogether and be left alone.
She’s not suggesting everyone follow her intense method, but she’s pleased with what she achieved. “It took a lot of effort, and honestly, it wasn’t fun,” she admitted. “I was constantly hungry, but seeing the results makes it all worthwhile.”
The actor, known for his role in Roseanne, has experienced many ups and downs with his health. He used to quickly lose a significant amount of weight—60 to 70 pounds in about three months—but then fall back into unhealthy habits. As he explained in 2017, he wanted to approach things differently this time, focusing on gradual changes like exercise and staying active. He realized he needed to prioritize his health as he gets older.
He’s kept off 200 pounds by focusing on a healthy lifestyle: lots of walking and a Mediterranean diet rich in fish, vegetables, and nuts. He told Men’s Health it requires consistent effort, but he considers it a worthwhile commitment.
Following a 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.
I’ve been following his fitness journey closely, and he revealed his secret to success on Entertainment Tonight! It’s pretty intense – he basically cuts out all carbs. Seriously, all of them. He’s admitted to a little slip-up here and there, but generally, no bread, pasta, pizza, or even a simple cracker. He avoids corn, beans, and any kind of starch. His go-to breakfast is usually egg whites or Greek yogurt with a small amount of fruit. It’s a really strict diet, but clearly it works for him!
And to wash it all down, “I don’t drink anything but water,” he said. “No coffee, no tea, no soda.”
Oh my gosh, you guys, it’s just incredible! Seeing Amy from 1000-lb Sisters finally living her best life is EVERYTHING. She’s lost a massive 440 pounds, and it’s not just a number, you know? It’s like, she’s experiencing things she never thought possible! I’ve been watching every episode, and it’s brought me to tears seeing her fly on a plane – actually buckle the seatbelt! – and even sit in the front seat of a car. But Disney World? A hot air balloon?! It’s like a dream come true, and I’m seriously living for it! She’s inspiring me to chase my own dreams, and I’m so proud of how far she’s come.
In a recent TikTok video, Slaton shared how much it means to her to be able to buckle her seatbelt without needing an extension. She explained that it’s a significant milestone, as she hadn’t been able to do simple things like that for years.
I’m really proud of what I’ve accomplished,” the reality star shared. “I’ve worked hard to lose the weight and now I’m finally enjoying life to the fullest. It feels amazing to say 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 progress, but her main goal is to be a healthy role model for her son. She told TopMob News in February that while losing weight would be great, it’s more important to show her and Jax Taylor’s son, Cruz, how to live a healthy lifestyle.
The future star of The Valley explained, “I want to model a healthy lifestyle for him. Exercise is really important for both my physical and mental well-being, and I believe starting a positive, healthy routine is key for me.”
As a lifestyle expert, I’m always thrilled to see dedication pay off, and this musician is a perfect example! She’s really committed to strength training, and all that hard work is clearly showing in how amazing she looks and feels. It’s fantastic to see someone prioritize their health and fitness!
In a 2023 interview with People magazine, the star shared how proud they are of their progress. They explained that fitness is now a core part of their life, and they’ve made a consistent commitment to exercise and prioritize their well-being.
She’s been working really hard, and mentioned she might start offering intense fitness classes, which she playfully calls ‘Hottie Bootcamp.’ She described one workout as a challenging combination of exercises like deadlifts, jump rope, lunges, and mountain climbers. In a video, she jokingly said the workout was incredibly tough – ‘it really burns!’ – but added that it was effective, noting, ‘you can see the results in your thighs.’
After giving birth to her daughter, Atlas, just months before the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020, she told TopMob News she felt incredibly unmotivated. With everything suddenly stopping, she decided to just let go and not worry about things.
She abandoned her workout routine and healthy eating habits, falling into a pattern of unhealthy food choices throughout 2020. This took a toll on her, and she longed to feel good about her body again.
She was excited but also a little unsure when she first heard about trying Openfit’s 4 Weeks of Focus program with trainer Kelsey Heenan.
I’ve been following her journey, and it’s been amazing to see! For four weeks, she started each day with warm water and lemon, followed by a really intense 30-minute workout – everything from high-intensity interval training to cardio and strength work. She also really focused on making good food choices, but in a way that wasn’t restrictive – she’d even have pizza if she wanted, just adding some spinach! Honestly, she’s become a total believer in this routine. She told me she was shocked at how good she felt, saying, ‘I was like, ‘Hoooooly…’!’ She’s always been active, but she’d never actually lifted weights like that before – she was amazed she could handle a 40 or even 50-pound weight!
The fitness influencer, known online as Fat Girl Fed Up, shared on Instagram in December that she hadn’t reached her weight goal of under 200 pounds. Despite that, she decided to celebrate her progress anyway, focusing on the bigger picture and not letting minor setbacks get her down.
She reminded herself that any step forward, no matter how tiny, still counts. She knew she’d put in a lot of effort this week, and that was enough. She figured losing weight would take time – she didn’t gain it all at once, so it wouldn’t come off quickly either. Her motto was to just keep moving forward, regardless of the challenges.
She’s confident she can achieve her health goals. “I’m going to reach my ideal state,” she declared. “It might take a week or a year, but we’ll get there eventually. Just keep moving forward, believe in yourself, and focus on making progress, not achieving perfection.”
The Queer Eye star was determined to improve their fitness to tackle more challenging gymnastics, and they successfully transformed their health along the way.
In an August 2022 TikTok video, they revealed they’d been working with a nutritionist since April and had lost 35 pounds. They explained their motivation was to improve their physique for gymnastics and their career.
I’ve been following their advice, and they’re so right – don’t expect instant results! The author of Love That Story shared their own experience, saying it took a full three weeks before they started to see any difference. They really emphasized that it was three weeks of consistent workouts and a change in diet before anything noticeable happened, so I’m prepared to put in the work and be patient!
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 about his fitness journey. He explained that as a child, he was self-conscious enough to wear a shirt while swimming, and that experience motivated him in his late twenties to transform his body and build muscle. He jokingly referred to the post as his ‘meat head post’.
It was a tough workout, switching between weights and kettlebells, but he’s happy with how far he’s come and plans to keep going.
Everyone has ups and downs, and things don’t always go as planned. This became clear when the actress openly shared on Instagram in January 2024 that she had regained 13.6 kilograms after successfully reaching her goal weight of 75 kilograms back in 2020.
Wilson admitted she’s been struggling to maintain her healthy habits due to a busy filming schedule. She’s previously discussed overcoming emotional eating and switching to a diet focused on protein instead of carbohydrates, but finding time for her boxing and hiking workouts has become difficult.
Wilson confessed that added stress was causing weight gain and negatively impacting their self-esteem. They acknowledged it wasn’t logical to feel this way, but admitted that it did.
Giving up his favorite beers? No problem. And dedicating three to four hours daily to intense workouts like P90X, kickboxing, and running, as he told Men’s Journal? Absolutely.
For Chris Pratt, the hardest part of getting in shape – going from his role as Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation to a superhero in Guardians of the Galaxy – wasn’t the exercise, but the massive amount of water he had to drink. He consumed one ounce of water for every pound he weighed.
“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 why people were surprised to learn he’d be playing Marvel’s newest hero, Ant-Man.
Paul Rudd has said 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 described his training as following the method Chris Pratt used for action films: 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.
Before focusing on anything else, she’s enjoying every moment of the time after giving birth. Decker, a mother of four – Vivianne, Eric Jr., Forrest, and newborn Denver (born in February 2024) – emphasizes, “New moms should prioritize recovery, not weight loss. Focus on feeding your baby, bonding with your baby, and letting your body heal. You’ll naturally know when you’re ready to be active again. Ignore any pressure to lose weight quickly and listen to your body. You’ll feel when you have the energy to start moving around again.”
He’s been enjoying the results of his workouts – including a noticeable six-pack – thanks to 90-minute training sessions and a healthier way of eating. He told People magazine that his diet now focuses on lean protein, plenty of vegetables, and avoiding sugary drinks like soda.
What really motivates him is achieving a long list of personal goals. He shared that many of these goals involve the outdoors, like rock climbing in Yosemite, which he’s working towards by getting in shape. A major ambition of his is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, a route that stretches from Mexico to Canada along the American coast and back.
After giving birth to her daughter Kingsley in September 2022, the actress—known for her role in Twilight—realized her body had changed. She shared on Instagram in January 2023 that she was accepting this and learning to be comfortable with it.
If she ever feels overwhelmed, she has a coping strategy that’s just as helpful as getting back in shape after having a baby.
She told TopMob News that looking into her daughter’s eyes – whom she affectionately called her ‘sweet angel’ – helps her feel grateful instead of focusing on her own flaws. She considers this a helpful trick, because it’s easy to be too hard on yourself no matter what you do.
