Jennifer Holliday
When Jennifer Holliday was an actress and singer on Broadway, she was the ‘original dream girl.’ It was sad to hear she attempted suicide due to her clinical depression. Holliday attributed her mood swings to her weight gain and decided to get surgery to lose the extra pounds by gastric bypass. By doing this, she was one of the first celebrities to shed pounds. After the surgery, she lost around 124 lbs. Maybe people should start referring to her for the procedure as the first brand ambassador!

Gabourey Sidibe
Her amazing performance in the award-winning and critically-acclaimed movie Precious, made Sidibe a break out star, but she was actually uncomfortable with her image. The star has since shed 50 pounds. She still tries to trim down and aim for a healthier weight.
