Ricki Lake
You might better remember Ricki Lake as being the star of her own synonymously named talk show, but her original claim to fame was with her star role in the Hairspray musical in 1988. Her weight might have helped her launch her career, but Ricki Lake knew it was not a good idea to hold on to it. She has since managed to go down from a size 24 to a size 6! What a magical change.

Paul Wall
Paul Wall’s career as a rapper was launched alongside Chamillionaire in 2002 and they became an incredibly popular duo with albums like Get Ya Mind Correct. He would later release The Peoples Champ in 2005 when Atlantic Records signed him on. Paul Wall improved his appearance when he got rid of a significant amount of weight! Despite the transformation, the baggy jeans are here to stay. He has been spotted looking quite dandy on occasion, however.
