Al Sharpton
The Rev. Al Sharpton has lost some serious weight over the past few years. He went from 305 lbs. to 129 lbs! Why? “Around 2006, my youngest daughter Ashley poked me in the stomach and said, ‘Dad, why are you so fat?’ That kind of hurt my feelings. I grew up in civil rights and politics, so I’m pretty thick-skinned, but when your daughter says it, I started being conscious.” That’s when Sharpton changed his diet and began to exercise more.

Paula Deen
There is no denying that Paula Deen can cook, the queen of Southern cooking has been around long enough to teach us all a thing or two. In 2009, she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and she knew changes had to be made. As she wasn’t a fan of dieting, Deen began to walk on the treadmill every day. Later she changed her diet to something more manageable.
