Oprah Winfrey
For decades, Oprah has spoken about the emotional weight of weight stigma and dieting.

She then underwent a dramatic transformation, losing around 60 pounds, and has spoken about the pressure and judgment placed on the public scrutiny of being a famous woman in the spotlight, which she dealt with tenfold after disclosing that a prescription medication helped her lose weight.

No one loved her curves more than Mo’Nique, but after deciding to take better care of her health, she lost more than 80 pounds. In an IG video, she said, “And today, when I got on the scale, since I was 17 years old, I’ve been over 200 lbs. Today was the first time in my adult life that I’ve been under 200 lbs. So I wanted to let y’all know it’s possible; we can do it, and we can get there.” She still shares motivational videos from her health journey.
