5 Hollywood actors whose weight changes affected their mental health
Jessica Simpson
Jessica revealed her dramatic weight loss on Instagram recently, posting a picture of herself in all-black, while being honest with her followers: “Six months. 100 pounds down (Yes, I tipped the scales at 240).”
It’s no secret that Jessica’s weight loss journey has been documented in the media over the years.
A source close to Jess told People that she is “working hard and working out and eating healthy and trying to get back in her best shape and excited for what’s ahead. She’s trying to get back to her healthiest place”.
Jessica herself recently told People: “I am working really hard right now. It’s not easy at all, but I am determined to feel good. I have been doing a lot of walking – getting my steps in not only burns calories but it also helps me clear my head and get focused.”

Adele
Perhaps one of the most drastic weight transformations we’ve witnessed in recent times, Adele just keeps going. Over the years we’ve witnessed the Grammy-wining goddess transform in front of our very eyes. And while we’ve loved her from day one, at whatever shape or size, you have to admit the singer is not only looking good, but genuinely looking happy.
Following her split from husband Simon Konecki in 2019, Adele seems to have used the time out of the spotlight to heal, put time back into herself and find her own happiness again. Well, that’s if these pics of the notoriously private singer are anything to go by.
According to People, Adele has lost a whopping 100 pounds (45kg). While she hasn't spoken publicly about her weight loss journey, the singer reportedly began losing serious weight last summer.
Adele wrote in an Instagram post on her most recent birthday: “I've changed drastically in the last couple years and I'm still changing and that's OK. 31 is going to be a big ol’ year and I’m going to spend it all on myself.”
She’s certainly stuck to her word. We applaud you, girl!
8 things to know about Rebel Wilson, star of Jojo Rabbit
Melissa McCarthy
Undoubtedly one of our funniest and most-loved comedy actresses of our time, Melissa says she used to struggle to find designers to dress her for big awards shows.
“When I go shopping, most of the time I'm disappointed,” she told Redbook in 2014. “Two Oscars ago, I couldn't find anybody to do a dress for me. I asked five or six designers – high-level ones who make lots of dresses for people – and they all said no.”
These days, looking a million bucks in whatever designer dress she decides on, the actress says she isn't trying to hit a specific fitness goal. “I have [lost weight], but I'll be back again,” she told Refinery29. “I'll be up, I'll be down, probably for the rest of my life. The thing is, if that is the most interesting thing about me, I need to go have a lavender farm in Minnesota and give this up. There has to be something more.”
Rebel Wilson
She made a name for herself as Fat Amy in Bridesmaids, but those days are long gone, if these pics are anything to go by.
As with most transformations, Wilson’s weight loss isn’t one simple secret. Instead, it’s a mix of circuit training, daily cardio exercise, dancing (while filming the infamous Cats movie) and ditching junk food.
She wrote on Instagram: “OK so for me 2020 is going to be called The Year of Health.
“So I put on the athleisure and went out for a walk, deliberately hydrating on the couch right now and trying to avoid the sugar and junk food, which is going to be hard after the holidays I’ve just had but I’m going to do it! Who’s with me in making some positive changes this year?”
It seems she’s already off to a fantastic start.
