Chrissy Metz

Like many of us, Chrissy Metz also struggled with obesity early and her weight loss journey has been an inspiration to many. The actress who plays Kate Pearsons in the show This Is Us lost weight at her own pace. She got the big dollars that she could use to pay her mortgage and eventually showered with Emmy nominations.

After Metz had a panic attack and was hospitalized on her 30th birthday, she started taking things more seriously and responsibly. She started a 2000-calorie diet, avoided most of the unhealthy foods, and started walking 20 minutes every day. This made a massive difference to her physical and mental health. She lost 100 pounds in 5 months.
