Ronnie Ortiz
The Jersey Shore star fell ill and packed on the pounds, however, he recently took to Instagram to say, “I really let myself go after I got sick last year. It’s been a long road. I am nowhere I want to be shape-wise, but I feel better than I ever did.” Once he was feeling better, Ortiz stuck to a routine of “Weight, cardio and abs 5-6 times a week” to get his body back on track. Looks like it worked!
Al Sharpton
The Rev. Al Sharpton has lost some serious weight over the past few years. He went from 305 lbs. to 129 lbs! Why? “Around 2006, my youngest daughter Ashley poked me in the stomach and said, ‘Dad, why are you so fat?’ That kind of hurt my feelings. I grew up in civil rights and politics, so I’m pretty thick-skinned, but when your daughter says it, I started being conscious.” That’s when Sharpton changed his diet and began to exercise more.
