EJ Johnson – Gastric Sleeve Surgery / 130 pounds

Magic Johnson’s only son grew up filthy-rich, appearing on the reality TV show, Rich Kids of Beverly Hills. He totally enjoyed doing the show, although his participation brought controversy among the audience. For many years, EJ struggled to drop his extra weight, until deciding to undergo a gastric sleeve surgery, which resulted in him shedding 130 pounds. Apart from the surgery, he adopted healthier nutrition habits and started exercising. Magic Johnson is very supportive of his son’s weight loss journey, just like when EJ came out as gay.

America Ferrera – Diet / 30 pounds

We know America Ferrera for her role in Ugly Betty, where she played Betty, a goofy woman who later totally transformed her image. And Ferrera thought it would be nice if she did that in real life, too. Food was her way of dealing with excessive stress, and anytime something would bother her, she would have a snack – or maybe two. Thus, she decided to go on a high-protein diet while taking natural metabolism boosters and weight loss supplements (no kind of surgery entered her mind). Now that’s she’s 30 lbs lighter, she’s definitely no Ugly Betty!
