Rachael Ray – 40 lbs

Rachael Ray’s whole livelihood depends on food. Since she is a celebrity cook, TV personality, and entrepreneur, it’s reasonable to imagine her with a few extra pounds. However, at one point, overweight began to go towards obesity, which is when her life changed.

The host of The Rachael Ray Show since 2006, the 52-year-old faced throat surgery some time back. It was like a blessing in disguise because her frustration with the inability to speak for a month is what motivated her to hit the gym. It somehow became a part of Ray’s lifestyle and helped her become 40 pounds lighter.
