If you’ve watched any reality television in the last decade, then you likely know what Dance Moms is. If not, it’s a show about young dancers and what they need to go through to accomplish their goals of becoming star dancers. The head dance instructor on the reality show, in charge of children and their bickering parents, is Abby Lee Miller. Like many other celebrity weight loss journeys, the dance instructor’s began with a type II diabetes diagnosis.
However, as an influential dance instructor, Miller wasn’t about to let that stop her from teaching. Even though she admitted she went through a rocky start, Miller now has a handle on the difficult lifestyle changes. All that effort paid off, as she dropped from a size 24 size to a size 16. More importantly, Miller gets to continue doing what she loves the most: teach dance!
Oprah Winfrey – 30 Pounds Lost

OWN
Outside of reality show stars, few have been more open about their weight loss story than Oprah Winfrey. Over the years, she dedicated multiple episodes of her hit talk show to her weight loss struggles and solution. However, it seemed like nothing worked for an extended period. Finally, in 2015, Oprah shared a solution that really worked when she became a spokesperson for – and large stockholder of – Weight Watchers.
Oprah also says it helps to have a goal in mind. Her goal? She told People Magazine that she wanted her partner of 30-years, Stedman Graham, to be able to carry her to their pool! She also revealed to the people that she’s already lost 30 pounds!
Rachael Ray – Undisclosed Weight Loss

Food Network, Time Magazine
TV talk show host, celebrity chef, and cookbook author Rachael Ray first became a household name in the early 2000s, thanks to her show 30 Minute Meals, and hasn’t looked back since. Now, with an empire that includes everything from a talk show and slot machines to a cookware line and magazine, Ray is worth a whopping $100 million!
Somehow, despite recently entering her 50s, Ray does not look a day over 30! And that’s all thanks to her impressive celebrity weight loss plan. In a tell-all interview in her own magazine, go figure, Ray revealed the secret to her success: keeping hydrated and daily high-intensity workouts. While Ray didn’t mind divulging her secrets to fans, she did stop short of sharing exactly how much she had lost.
