Rachael Ray – 40 Lbs
Rachael Ray doesn’t mind discussing her weight reduction challenges. She doesn’t even mind alerting everyone that the food she prepares may cause them to gain weight. She had always carried a little extra weight, but it never worried her because she enjoyed her food so much. What changed her was not a health fear or discomfort, but the fact that she was unable to speak following throat surgery. She began working out at the gym to relieve her frustration. She alternated between strength and aerobic activities and began following a Mediterranean diet. Ray has hosted her show, the “Rachael Ray Show,” since 2006.

Valerie Bertinelli – 47 Lbs
Being Valerie Bertinelli during the 1970s and 1980s must have been a dream come true. She was a TV celebrity with a major part in the show “One Day At A Time” and was married to Eddie Van Halen, the apex rock star at the time. But she still had her demons. One of those demons was her weight, which she had struggled with since she was a teenager. She began by following the Jenny Craig diet but eventually developed her own eating plan. She lost 40 pounds this way. Bertinelli presents “Valerie’s Home Cooking,” a Food Network show that will continue to air until 2021.
