Al Sharpton
Over the past couple of years, the Rev. Al Sharpton managed to drop a considerable amount of weight. From 305 pounds, he slimmed down to 129 pounds. “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,” he shared. After this incident, he switched to a healthier diet and started to work out more.

Paula Deen
We all know that Paula Deen is a great cook, but amazing recipes are not the only thing that she can teach us! In 2009, the Queen of Southern Cooking found out that she had Type 2 diabetes. This was the moment that she realized that she could no longer live her life like that. She was not keen on the idea of dieting, so she started to go on the treadmill on a daily basis. She eventually changed her diet as well.
