1. Gordon Ramsay
This weight loss came as a total shocker to the public. First of all when you are as good a chef as Ramsay is, it can be very difficult to make healthy choices with all of the temptation constantly in front of you at work. He is constantly taste testing and surrounded by amazing food, that it was no wonder he was not very slim and trim. His wife was actually the motivation behind his 50 plus pound weight loss. Surprisingly, Gordan admits that he suffered from low self- esteem, which seems really hard to believe if you have ever watched Hell`s Kitchen. He was not happy with the way he looked and felt bad that his wife had to climb in bed with someone who was so overweight. He began working out like crazy and eating better in fear of his health declining due to his weight. He rides bikes in his home with his trainer for an hour and works out at least 3 times a week. He has even released a cooking book aimed at healthy choices that he approves. He looks better than ever, feels better than ever and there is no doubt that his wife approves this improved chef.
