Transformations
Never has losing in Hollywood been so good.
E.J. Johnson, the son of Magic Johnson and star of "Rich Kids of Beverly Hills," is the latest celebrity
to lose 100 pounds or more.
"It's definitely somewhere far over 100," the reality star revealed to Wendy Williams earlier this
month. "I mean like literally almost half my size."
Johnson has been shedding pounds over the past nine months since undergoing gastric bypass
surgery last fall.
"I think that it was something that really helped me jump-start the life I definitely wanted to lead,"
he told Williams about the surgery. "I wanted to be the best me I can be, and that's always
something I wanted to do. It's something that I struggled with and I needed that push in the right
direction. And now, my mindset is completely changed."
Meanwhile, Johnson is flaunting his new figure on Instagram.
Check out some of Hollywood's other big losers:

Beginning in 2003, "View" alum Star Jones dropped 160 pounds in three years.
While the world speculated about how she did it, Jones was evasive, until finally, in 2007, she
admitted in a first-person essay in Glamour magazine to undergoing gastric bypass surgery.
"The complete truth is, I was scared of what people might think of me. I was afraid to be vulnerable,
and ashamed at not being able to get myself under control without this procedure," Jones wrote.
Johnson later turned to Jones for advice about the procedure.
Graham Elliot - 150 Pounds

Famed magician and illusionist Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller dropped from 330 pounds down to
225 in just 100 days by eating healthier and cutting down his food intake.
From the end of last year until now, Jillette, 60, has been eating just 1,000 calories a day and
dropped almost a pound a day. Now, after reaching his goal weight in March, he maintains it by
avoiding processed grains and added sugar, among other things. Jillette eats mostly salads and
greens, along with brown rice.
"I could probably have a steak or a doughnut every couple of weeks, but I just haven't felt like it," he
told People magazine.

As a Weight Watchers spokeswoman, Jennifer Hudson famously shed 80 pounds from 2010 to 2014.
The Oscar and Grammy winner now maintains her weight by resisting tempting foods.
"I throw the pancakes across the room!" she told Yahoo! Style last fall. "I don't let the food
intimidate me. If it's too much, I just get rid of it, but I make sure to watch what I put in my body.
And I make sure I know what it is. It's all about portions, for the most part. I don't work out a lot, but
I do like to be active."
