Gabourey Sidibe – 154 lbs

Gabourey Sidibe was born and raised in New York City, earned an associate degree, and worked as a receptionist before becoming an actress with the main role in Precious in 2009. Everyone was always so used to seeing her as an overweight person.

Well, even though she still might be a few pounds over her healthy weight, the Empire star has lost about half of her original body mass of 300 pounds. However, she did so by undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery in March 2017 after going through many failed attempts of shedding her weight herself. It has been announced that the 37-year-old will appear in The Harper House soon.
