21 Female Celebrities and Their Weight Loss Stories (10 of 11)

Miranda Lambert

When discussing her weight loss journey, Miranda Lambert, has stressed that there aren’t any easy fixes or miracle diets. Instead, she shed pounds “the healthy and old fashion” way, which involved embracing portion control and using a personal trainer to guide her through her workouts. Cardio, circuit training, and bodyweight exercises are some of the workout methods she’s identified as helping her stay slim. Though tight-lipped about exact pounds lost, looser jeans were her victory marker. As she said in an October 2023 interview with Life & Style, “it’s not about the scale, it’s about how you feel.”

Melissa McCarthy

The comedic actress Melissa McCarthy has shed weight by focusing on sustainable changes. No crazy restrictions here! Her approach involves listening to her body and prioritizing sleep – sometimes bedtime is at 7:30! But she has also stated that when she’s succeeded at losing weight, she has done so the “boring way,” which involves avoiding junk food, practicing portion control, and a lot of walking. She’s confessed that her lifelong struggle with her weight will never go away, but that she has gradually learned to accept who she is and gives her husband all the credit for making her feel beautiful.
