Adele's weight loss surprised many of her fans when she debuted her slimmed-down figure by sharing a post on Instagram in 2020.

And the hitmaker showed her dedication to fitness over the past few years, as she's managed to keep off the pounds and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Here's a look at how the singer dropped -- and kept off -- the pounds while staying completely under the radar!

Adele set the record straight about her impressive weight loss during an interview with British Vogue, and cited concerns about her "anxiety" as the reason why she started working out.

She noted she became "addicted" to working out, during which her focus was on "becoming strong and giving myself as much time every day without my phone."

The performer then remarked that she'd remained quiet about her weight-loss journey, which happened over a period of two years.

When asked why she'd remained quiet about her physical changes, she said they were "for myself and not anyone else."'

Adele gave her fans a bit of insight into her fitness plan, and said she'd work out up to three times a day, with her routine consisting of a mixture of cardio and strength training.

The hitmaker confessed she was only able to do so with the help of personal trainers, and quipped that, due to the time commitments involved, she was "basically unemployed" for the duration of her weight-loss program.

The songwriter then said she was aware of the attention surrounding her body, and alleged several individuals had falsely claimed to have served as her trainers, which she described as "disgusting."

Adele added she truly didn't care about the public's view of her physique, as she'd gotten used to being on the receiving end of various comments for well over a decade.

The singer's also been open about how she wasn't always the most consistent during her weight-loss journey -- she's only human, after all!

Adele gave a bit more information about her ups and downs while speaking with Vogue, and stated that after having a night out with friends, she would "wake up like a tsunami was coming for me."

However, she also noted that, despite her occasional slip-ups, she remained committed to maintaining her mental and physical well-being.

Richard Simmons is getting one final standing ovation -- this time from collectors and fans around the world as his personal items have hit the auction ... TMZ has learned.

Bonhams Auction House in Los Angeles says it's auctioning off over 200 of the famous fitness instructor's personal items -- bedazzled tank tops and branded VHS tapes to memorabilia from his workout empire. The collection celebrates Simmons' four-decade legacy.

Among the star items hitting the block are his signature "Sweatin' to the Oldies" ensemble, worn during a 2012 Slimmons class, a bedazzled "Hummingbird" tank top worn at the 2013 MTV VMAs, a custom "Pom Pom Ball" tank from a 2011 appearance and over 100 glittering tank tops and shorts, each estimated between $200-300.

Sharon Osbourne's no stranger to body modification, and many of her changes in recent years have been related to her physique.

However, the reality television mainstay has made no secret of the extremes she reached while changing her body.

We're going to take a look at just how far she's pushed herself in the past and see how her actions could impact her future.

Osbourne's been open about the causes of her size issues in the past, and she told E! News a longstanding eating disorder had been the root of many of her body-related concerns.

The wife of former Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne recalled undergoing gastric band surgery, which restricted the top part of her stomach in an effort to reduce her appetite.

She's also undergone a sleeve gastrectomy, during which a portion of her stomach was removed in order to form it into a tube-like structure.

However, Osbourne -- who confessed her weight peaked at 230 pounds -- pointed out she doesn't judge anyone for turning to weight-loss methods ... including medications.

She went on to state that, while she had attempted exercising, she ultimately determined that she was "too lazy for that."

Osbourne has also been transparent about her use of the celebrity-favorite weight-loss medication Ozempic, which she started using in 2022.

Although she utilized the GLP-1 medication for a few months, she stopped taking the jab after she found herself in a place where she "couldn't stop losing weight," according to the Daily Mail.

Osbourne also admitted she couldn't "afford to lose any more" weight, as getting any lighter would be dangerous for her body.

She then described the weight-loss drug as "very dangerous" if used in excess, as she found it to be "addicting."

Osbourne added she wanted to warn teenagers away from using GLP-1 drugs, which are "too easy" to abuse.

While Osbourne's been clear regarding her feelings about Ozempic usage, she doesn't think less of anyone for utilizing the medication, and she told E! News users shouldn't view their use of weight-loss drugs as "a dirty little secret."

The reality television mainstay has since revealed she's come to terms with her body-related concerns in recent years, and claimed she was "through with the weight loss and all that cosmetic stuff" during an interview with The Guardian.

She did admit, however, that she had used what she described as "too much" of the GLP-1 medication, which left her in a position where she "can't put on weight."

Osbourne added that, after going through various physical changes and ceasing her use of the weight-loss drug, she had "finally become more accepting of my body, my looks."

Kathy Bates has become an example of self-determination paying off -- as she was able to drop an impressive 100 pounds over the past few years.

However, a lot of hard work went into her physical transformation, which was spurred by a harrowing health scare.

We're going to look into the "Misery" star's impressive weight loss and see why her newfound interest in wellness has greatly improved her quality of life.

Bates was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2017, and she told People the disease had been prevalent within her family.

The performer told the publication several of her family members had been dealing with various complications from the condition, and her own diagnosis "scared me straight."

She stated that being told she was going to be living with the disease inspired her to start making changes in her diet and wellness routine.

Bates recalled having to completely switch up her diet, and admitted she "used to eat terribly," and at odd hours.

She remarked her niece had advised her she'd experience "an involuntary sigh" after becoming full, and she would stop eating after noticing the reflex.

Bates went on to tell the outlet that in addition to making changes with her eating habits, she started prioritizing her own fitness and became more serious about working out.

But she maintained she was committed to remaining independent while working out, and remarked she didn't want "anybody over my shoulder."

While Bates claimed that 80 out of the 100 pounds she lost were due to changes in her lifestyle, she admitted she shed the final 20 through the use of Ozempic.

The performer stressed that, although she was aware of claims her weight loss was achieved solely through her use of the celebrity-favorite medication, she wanted her fans to know she truly is dedicated to her health.

Bates remarked that the physical aspect of her lifestyle change "was hard work for me, especially during the pandemic."

The actress then expressed her life had greatly improved following her weight loss, as she became "capable" of working long days on set.

Bates added she'd become able to "do so many things that I couldn’t before" while working on the set of "Matlock," in which she stars.

Another benefit of her weight loss is the effects on the symptoms of her lymphedema, which causes swelling in various parts of her body.

The actress said she felt "such a thrill to be able to put my arm into a jacket and it fits."

Dave Bautista wowed fans with his sizable frame during his time as a professional wrestler, and he used his physique to his advantage after beginning a second career as an actor.

However, he shocked the public when he revealed he'd shed an impressive 75 pounds in an effort to make further strides in the entertainment industry.

We're going to take a look at the weight fluctuations that the "Guardians Of The Galaxy" star has experienced throughout his career -- and why he feels it's pushing him forward.

While Bautista's looking much slimmer these days, he hasn't always been that way, especially during his younger years.

The actor opened up about his history with his body size in an interview with content creator Chris Van Vliet, where he revealed that "the heaviest I've ever been was 370 pounds."

Bautista went on to state he had dropped much of his size before entering the WWE, and claimed he weighed a much more reasonable 290 pounds for "most of my wrestling career."

The weight loss didn't appear to affect him in the ring, however, as he became a WWE champion several times over, and won the top prize in various events, including the wrestling promotion's Royal Rumble.

The performer's size made him a prime choice for casting agents, and he went on to portray imposing characters in movies like "Spectre" and "Blade Runner 2049."

Although Bautista's imposing physique made him a favorite with fans, he also recalled reaching a point where he began to feel "uncomfortably big."

The actor recalled gaining weight for his role in the 2023 film "Knock At The Cabin," in which he portrayed the imposing leader of a group of apocalypse-obsessed individuals.

Bautista claimed that he went up to 315 pounds before working on the movie, and he recalled eating excessive amounts of pancakes and fries in order to put on the pounds.

The performer said he was solely dedicated to looking intimidating on screen, and recalled "at the time, I was just thinking, 'I gotta get big, I gotta get big!'"

He added it took him "forever" to drop the pounds following the end of shooting.

Bautista eventually began to feel that a drop in weight would be the right choice for his career -- and his health.

He told Van Vliet he came to realize he would be more photogenic at a lower weight, stating the "more I trimmed down, the better I looked on camera, the better I looked next to other actors."

The performer went on to address the concerns of fans who were concerned about his drop in weight, and noted while certain individuals saw him as "anorexic," he was "just a large human being" ... regardless of his size.

Bautista also claimed he'd reached a much more svelte 240 pounds in the years since "Knock At The Cabin" was released.

He did state, however, that his naturally large frame still made him look imposing on screen, remarking that "at 6'4" and 240 pounds next to a much smaller actor, I look like a gorilla! And it's distracting!"

Bautista's also been open about how he's placed a priority on both working out and eating right -- both of which contributed to his drop in weight.

The actor claimed, as a result of maintaining a chiseled physique, "a lot of people think I’m just a meathead" during a video interview for Men's Health.

However, he told the media outlet he'd become much more focused on crafting well-rounded workouts that included considerable amounts of cardio.

Bautista remarked that, although much of his fanbase assumed he was a major fan of powerlifting, he would "rather be boxing or doing some type of interesting cardio like cycling."

Ariana Grande's svelte figure has captivated audiences of all ages, regardless if she's onstage or on the big screen.

The thing is, the actress' body has become the subject of much attention over the past few years, with many of her fans openly wondering how much time she'd spent under the knife.

We're going to take a look at what Ariana's said in order to set the record straight about her body and what cosmetic procedures she's undergone in the past.

Grande first admitted to undergoing enhancement procedures during a beauty tutorial video that was produced for Vogue in 2023.

During the clip, the performer admitted that she'd used a "ton of lip-filler," as well as an unspecified amount of Botox, over the past few years.

However, the "Wicked" star claimed she'd ceased her treatments in 2018 ... and became emotional while recalling her procedures.

Grande remarked that she "felt like hiding" while undergoing her cosmetic procedures, and added that her sense of self-esteem had changed ever since she stopped having treatments done to her face.

She eventually composed herself and admitted that she would not be averse to having a facelift done in the future, adding, "Whatever makes you feel beautiful, I do support."

In addition to being open about the procedures she's had in the past, Grande has also been open about the ones she hasn't gone through.

The former Nickelodeon star shut down various questions about her history with plastic surgery in a video for Vanity Fair, in which her "Wicked" costar Cynthia Erivo helped administer a lie-detector test and asked her about her cosmetic history.

During the run of the polygraph test, Grande denied she'd had a breast-augmentation procedure, nose job, or chin job.

She also humorously shot down the suggestion that she'd had a Brazilian butt lift, stating that the procedure wasn't really her sort of thing.

However, she spoke about her past with both lip-fillers and Botox before adding she felt as if procedures that make "people feel beautiful" should be supported.

Grande has also spoken openly about how she has noticed her fans' concern regarding her physique, and she addressed the commentary regarding her body in a video that was shared on her TikTok account in April of 2023.

The performer stated she was aware of certain fans comparing her current frame to what she described as the "unhealthiest version of my body," which she found to be troubling.

She added that she was "at the lowest point of my life when I looked" healthy to some of her listeners.

Grande then remarked she wanted her listeners to become "gentler and less comfortable commenting on people’s bodies" in the future.

George Kittle's favorite workout tool comes with its perks ... 'cause as he puts it, it helps him "blow huge l***s" -- and yes, he's talking about what you think he is.

The San Francisco 49ers superstar raved about the Vasper Systems during a sit-down with Taylor Lewan and Will Compton on "Bussin' with the Boys" this week ... getting a bit TMI when breaking down the benefits of the training method.

"It knocks you the f*** out at night, unconscious," Kittle said. "You sleep so well and you have wild dreams, too. It's awesome."

Post Malone shocked his fans when he debuted his newly slimmed-down figure, which was a far cry from the beefy physique many of his listeners had become used to during the early stages of his career, in 2023.

However, much of his fanbase reacted to their idol's reveal with shock and surprise, and several even became convinced that he had fallen into dangerous habits.

Here's a look at how Posty managed to push off the pounds ... and why he's had to assure his loyal listeners about his physical and mental well-being on several occasions.

The rapper first set off alarms in February of 2023, when a video of him performing in Australia began to circulate within his fanbase.

The singer was visibly svelte in the clip, which led many of his fans to speculate if he had been dealing with an unspecified illness or using drugs.

However, several sources spoke to us to dissuade the rumors - they insisted that Post Malone was doing just fine, and that his drop in size was the result of a strict diet and regular workouts.

The hitmaker's extensive touring schedule was also said to have kept him physically active, as he was regularly pulling off 90-minute sets for his fans.

Post Malone's father also stepped in to dissuade the rumors about his son's alleged issues, and claimed that the singer was the "healthiest he's been in years" in the comments section of an Instagram post that was shared at the time.

The rapper went on to shut down the rumors about his supposed struggles by sharing a post on his Instagram account in April of 2023.

Post Malone began by crediting the birth of his daughter, which took place the previous year, with inspiring him to adopt healthier habits, writing that "dad life kicked in."

He also pointed out he wasn't using drugs and attributed much of his weight loss to his high-energy performances.

The performer also expressed that while he was planning on giving up "smokes and brews," among taking on other healthy habits, he wanted to take his time with those.

He concluded by writing that, despite the rumors, he was much happier than he had been in the past.

Post Malone provided further insight into his physical change during an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience that was released in August of 2023.

During his sit-down with the UFC commentator, the rapper claimed that his weight peaked at 240 pounds, although he had made it down to a more moderate 185 pounds at the time of the interview.

Post Malone went on to claim that cutting soda out of his diet was a major factor in his physical change, and he described sugary beverages as "so good, but so bad."

Rebel Wilson's become a prime example of the potential that comes with a weight change, as she's begun taking on more mature roles in her later years.

However, she hasn't had an easy road to a healthier lifestyle, as she was previously restricted from changing her larger body size.

Here's a look at how the "Bridesmaids" star's decision to adopt fitness-centered habits led to a complete switch-up in the new stages of her career.

Wilson's breakout came in the 2012 musical comedy film "Pitch Perfect," in which she portrayed wisecracking a cappella singer Patricia "Fat Amy" Hobart.

While the film's success launched her career and led to the production of two sequels, she later revealed that she was contractually restricted from changing her body size while starring in the films.

The performer made the revelation during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she stated that, while she had become interested in losing weight following the premiere of "Pitch Perfect," she wasn't allowed to lose or gain more than ten pounds.

The actress went on to state that she felt as if she had been "pigeonholed" into "playing that fat, funny friend," even in films outside the "Pitch Perfect" franchise.

Wilson added that, while she did enjoy appearing in those types of roles, she wanted to explore further opportunities that pushed her further as an actress.

The "Isn't It Romantic" star began taking her health seriously following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which afforded her an opportunity to reexamine her relationship with her physique.

Wilson admitted that she had engaged in "emotional eating" and been lax with her dieting at the start of the pandemic during an interview with People.

However, she then stated that at a certain point, she was able to change her view of the circumstances and saw the period of downtime as a "great opportunity" to begin making healthier choices and began what she described as a "year of health."

Wilson began working with a nutritionist, who helped to curb her habit of "probably eating 3,000 calories most days," and she was later able to achieve a "healthy balance" between going to the gym, eating right and indulging responsibly.

The performer also gave further insight into her decision to lose weight while speaking with The Sunday Times and revealed that a conversation with a fertility doctor pushed her further towards adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Wilson stated the doctor told her she would likely have a better chance with IVF treatments if she were to lose weight, after which she went headfirst into the world of fitness.

The actress also admitted that she had tried Ozempic during her weight loss journey, although she did not stick with the medication for very long.

She added that, after trying out "crazy" workouts while navigating her "complicated" relationship with eating, she was able to lose eighty pounds and achieve an ideal body size.

Wilson's since stated that her weight loss has resulted in a complete change in her career, which has led to her taking on more dramatic roles.

The performer made the claim during an interview with Sirius XM's Ben Harlum, where she remarked that she was able to "untypecast" herself after slimming down.

She added that, while she initially entered Hollywood in order to take on dramatic roles, her work in comedy paid the bills and raised her public profile.

Chrissy Metz has been through it all on screen as one of the stars of the hit NBC family drama series "This Is Us."

And what many of her fans don't know is that the actress, whose character dealt with an eating disorder, faced similar issues related to her weight during the program's run.

Here's what the performer's said about overcoming the hardships she's experienced with her body ... and how she lost an impressive 100 pounds along the way.

One of Metz's main motivations for improving her health was her desire to age gracefully as she moved into later stages of her career.

The performer spoke about the process during a sit-down with the Daily Mail, where she expressed that she was "nervous about aging, about osteoporosis or arthritis."

The actress went on to state that, through improving her health, she was planning on going through the latter stages of her life "the best way I can."

Metz also remarked that her approach to fitness was shaped with the goal of "staying strong and flexible" in the future.

The "American Horror Story: Freak Show" actress subsequently spoke about her preferred workout routine, which involved the use of heavy weights.

Metz remarked that she had become fond of strength training, as opposed to more cardio-focused approaches to health, over the past few years, which resulted in an impressive 100-pound weight loss.

The performer added that she had been working with a personal trainer in order to achieve her desired fitness goals.

Metz also quipped that, despite becoming a regular at the gym, she remained adverse to running "unless I'm being chased."

The actress noted that she had been using Ozempic as a way to help her achieve her fitness goals in a shorter period of time.

When speaking about her usage of the celebrity-favorite medication, she stated that she wanted to help "destigmatize" the product for the public.

Metz added that she felt as if the process of using Ozempic during her weight loss journey had become "so personal."

However, she pointed out that she would likely never undergo a surgical weight-loss procedure, as she felt as if her issues with food were primarily "psychological."

She then likened the idea of going under the knife in an effort to control her size to putting a "band-aid" on a larger problem.

The actress, whose character in "This Is Us" dealt with an eating disorder, has since become an inspiration for many fans going through similar issues.

Metz spoke about connecting with her viewers during an interview with Us Weekly, where she stated that she had "frequent" interactions with individuals who had seen her on the NBC series and were inspired by her character's struggle with her weight.

The performer added that "so many women have shared their experiences" with size issues after meeting the star.

Lizzo's weight-loss transformation has shocked many of her fans ... especially after she admitted that she'd tried Ozempic during an interview with Trisha Paytas.

The thing is, the Grammy-winning songwriter's been pretty open about the steps she's gone through to shed much of her weight over the past few years.

We're going to take a look back at how she tightened up her form so flawlessly and started feeling Good As Hell over the past few years.

Lizzo revealed she'd been working on her figure in a video that was shared on her TikTok account in June of 2020. The hitmaker, who shot the video while using a stationary bike, claimed to have been working out "consistently for the last five years."

However, she insisted that she wasn't trying to impress anyone with her interest in fitness -- she was just trying to get to a point where she felt comfortable with her own figure.

Lizzo also added that she was trying to achieve "my ideal body type" and that her fans wouldn't have a say in the matter.

The songwriter began changing her approach to working out in 2023, when she started dropping weight in considerable amounts.

Lizzo opened up to the New York Times the following year and stated that she had been employing a "methodical" approach to fitness that allowed her to "put some love into my body."

While she admitted that the process had been going slowly, she assured her fans that she was prioritizing consistency over fast results. She also gave a bit of insight into how she had achieved her new figure ... and singled out walking and Pilates as two of her preferred workout techniques.

Lizzo wowed fans in January of 2025 when she revealed that she had "reached my weight release goals" in an Instagram post. The performer shared a screenshot from a fitness app to show that she had been able to shed an impressive 16% of her body weight.

Lizzo also revealed that her BMI, or Body Mass Index, had gone down by 10.5 points.

She added that she wanted her weight loss to serve as an example of how hard work pays off and added that she was ready to set "new goals."

While many of Lizzo's fans had remained supportive of her throughout her fitness journey, there were many who openly questioned if she had been using weight-loss drugs to supplement her hard work in the gym.

The performer alluded to the rumors in various social media posts, and she called out a fan for suggesting that she was utilizing both Ozempic -- and cocaine! -- in a set of photos she shared on Instagram in January of 2024.

However, she ultimately fessed up to using the celebrity-favorite medication during an episode of the "Just Trish" podcast ... stating she had "tried everything" in order to change her figure.

Lizzo went on to say, while she had utilized Ozempic, as well as other GLP-1 drugs, she felt like they mainly served to curb her appetite.

The performer added that she had adopted a "mind-over-matter" approach to her diet that ultimately made the jab obsolete.

She also revealed she'd moved away from a vegan diet, where she had been consuming 3,000-5,000 calories daily, as a major factor in her weight loss.

While Lizzo's come to appreciate the support her fans have given her during her yearslong fitness journey, there's one person that she feels makes the most impact -- her boyfriend, Myke Wright.

The singer, who's been involved with her partner ever since 2021, opened up during an episode of "On Purpose With Jay Shetty" and said when she first began losing weight, he was there to keep her down-to-earth about her fitness journey.

She recalled that "at first I was like, 'Oh my gosh I lost five pounds,' and he was like, 'Where did it go?'"

Bow Wow's letting haters' jabs melt off him like the pounds he recently lost ... saying the people trying to body shame him aren't going to affect his mood.

Darren Waller might be a year removed from the NFL ... but his body apparently didn't get the memo -- 'cause the former tight end looked shredded as ever at a fitness event in NYC over the weekend.

TMZ Sports obtained a video of the former Raven, Raider and Giant participating in HYROX's New York competition on Saturday ... a global fitness event that requires a bunch of different challenges -- which Lance Armstrong participated in a year prior.

In the clip, Waller executes some lunges while rocking a 20-lb bag on his shoulder ... all while his rock-hard abs make an appearance.

Actor Neal McDonough is a few months shy of his 60th trip around the sun, but the Hollywood star just took on one of the most physical roles of his career, and he says he busted his ass getting in peak shape!

TMZ Sports recently spoke with the director, Jon Avnet, and McDonough, who told Babcock he went to great efforts to look like the real deal.
