Kevin Liles
Kevin Liles is an incredibly successful record executive and is also the CEO of 300 Entertainment. He was called the “R&B/Hip-Hop Executive of the Year.” But one of his most profound achievements outside of the music industry has to be his dedication to diet and exercise. The frontman for Def Jam embarked on a weight loss journey in 2007 after concluding he needed the health benefits this would attain. He reached his goal and has kept the pounds off.
Ricki Lake
Ricki’s weight was what endeared her to so many at the beginning of her career. She was seen as a more approachable and kinder alternative to her more intense counterparts in the talk show host world. Still, she realized that maintaining that amount of weight was unhealthy. Since then, she has gone from a size 24 to a 6! Incredible. Ricki has not lost her charm or sweetness in the process.
