A momma of two, Carrie shared in 2019 that she couldn’t run as fast or lift as heavy as she could before giving birth to her second child. In her caption, Carrie vowed to stop focusing on "bouncing back" and start appreciating her body for what it could do. “I promise to stop analyzing every angle and every curve and every pound and every meal. I’m going to keep staying the path because it is a journey and as long as I’m always working towards my goals, one day I’ll reach them," she shared.

She’s worked out with trainer Eve Overland to get back in shape, and she eats a vegan diet. “To me, working out—my husband has said it— he was like: ‘You’re, like, a more pleasant person to be about when you have a workout in the morning.’ And I was like, ‘I know! I feel better,’' Carrie said.

Rebel Wilson has been on a health journey, and she wants to be healthier in 2020 and make some positive life changes. "Okay so for me 2020 is going to be called 'The Year of Health,'" she declared on Instagram, "So I put on the athleisure and went out for a walk, deliberately hydrating on the couch right now and trying to avoid the sugar and junk food which is going to be hard after the holidays I’ve just had but I’m going to do it!"

She’s been working out with trainer Jono Castano seven days a week—and throughout the winter press and awards circuit, she's been looking strong and glowy. Judging by her killer ropes routine, it seems like she's a fan of high-intensity interval training.

Janet gave birth to her first baby in early 2017, and by late 2017, she had lost 70 pounds, according to E! News.

Janet’s trainer Paulette Sybliss shared, "I started training her about six weeks after she had Eissa so about March we started. We had a very vigorous training schedule. We were training a minimum of four times a week and the sessions were never less than 45 minutes, no more than an hour. Very intense, though. Very intense training."

The hip-hop legend has been on a healthy journey in recent years. In 2018 she shared on Instagram, “Proud to say it’s been 4 months I have only drank water no other juices or soda & I cut out bread & Lord knows that’s been the hardest for me!” and that, though she has “NEVER been a water drinker,” her efforts to become one clearly paid off.

“It really restore glow back & I don’t feel sluggish,” she wrote, as reported by People. In 2011, Missy also revealed to People that she was living with Graves’ Disease, an autoimmune illness affecting the thyroid.

Kim gets work done in the gym. "When it comes to booty and legs, we usually work out for an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes," Kim’s trainer Melissa Alcantara previously told WH. "You want to work out efficiently and be smart about it."

She also sticks to healthy foods, for the most part. "I live a healthy life and try to eat as plant based as possible and drink sea moss smoothies," she previously told Poosh.

Briana’s husband Ryan has documented their joint weight-loss journey on the keto diet, which has resulted in them losing more than a combined 100 pounds. (In July 2019, they shared that they had lost a combined total of 107 pounds by doing keto.)

America is currently pregnant with baby number two. She welcomed her first child in May 2018. That same year, she shared her love of triathlons and triathlon training with Health.

“I had to change my relationship to my body, and I think the most drastic thing I did was train for a triathlon. I didn’t do it to punish myself. I didn’t do it to lose weight," she said.

She also didn't do it to make her body look a certain way. "I did it as a mental or spiritual challenge of kind of meeting myself, and all my stories about myself, and seeing if I could push through that. And I did," she went on. "Not only did I push through it, I transformed my stories about myself: I’m not a runner. I can’t get in the ocean. I don’t know how to swim. I could never bike that far. All these things that we tell ourselves become what we think we are capable of.”

In 2019, Ariel showed off some noticeable weight loss. She does intense gym seshes, and Ariel also shared that finding the right mental health medication led to unexpected weight loss. “Years ago, it was hard because I’d go to the gym with my trainer and because of my antidepressant medications I never saw results,” she said.

Eventually, she decided to switch medications—but not for aesthetic reasons. “I didn’t change my antidepressants because I wanted to lose weight, I’d just accepted it and it was fine,” she said. “I got inspired to actually find a medication that helped me as a person and did all the things I wanted it to do.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star opened up to WH about how she gained 80 pounds in one year after moving to California and starting a stressful job. She yo-yo dieted for years but continued to struggle with her weight after she became a mother.

“Walking, running, or hiking is just as good a workout as a cardio class at a fancy gym and they’re free. The healthiest meals are often the simplest meals: A good carb, a healthy fat, some protein, and veggies are really all you need. You don’t need to be a chef, much less hire one!” she shared.

In May 2016 Gabourey revealed she had weight-loss surgery, according to Life & Style. “The surgery wasn’t the easy way out. I wasn’t cheating by getting it done. I wouldn’t have been able to lose as much as I’ve lost without it,” she said about the surgery.

She told People in 2017 she also has a tough workout regime. “I work out with my trainer three to four days a week. If I’m not working out with a trainer, I get up, and I go swim.”
