Brittany Cartwright

Brittany Cartwright — Brittany Cartwright is one of many stars on TV who fans have watched gain and lose weight. The ‘Vanderpump Rules’ star eventually shed 25 pounds before her June, 2019 wedding to co-star Jax Taylor. Now she’s trimmed down and confident. Her fellow ‘VPR’ star Katie Maloney also was the subject of cruel body shaming over several seasons of the show after she put on some weight. Even co-star James Kennedy fat-shamed her, and when Katie complained about it to SUR boss Lisa Vanderpump in 2018, it cost James his job as a DJ at the West Hollywood hotspot, even though he later got his job make and the two made up. Katie revealed on Apr. 19, 2020 that she had lost 20 pounds over the past several months after seeing a nutritionist and changing up her diet.

They aren’t the only ones with amazing weight losses. Incredible singers like Mariah Carey and Kelly Clarkson have had dramatic slimdowns after putting on some pounds. Khloe Kardashian had such an incredible slimdown following her split from Lamar Odom that she even wrote a book about it. You can check out this gallery for all of the best celebrity slim-downs.
