19 Celebrities That Dropped The Weight

These days, fat celebrities are a pretty rare thing. Hollywood seems obsessed with the slender and the skinny and consequently, those carrying a little extra chub are expected to shed the pounds in order to meet societal expectations or just to play a part in a movie. Here are some of the most dramatic weight loss experiences in show business, some for the better, some not so much.
