10 celebrities who were once the “chubby kid” (With Pictures)

3. Jillian Michaels

Jillian Michaels is best known for being a, well, bitchy yet somehow sensitive personal trainer on the reality TV show The Biggest Loser. Each week she puts contestants through grueling workouts all the while showing off her own stunning and physically fit body. One would never realized that by eighth grade she weighed 175 pounds and was well on her way to becoming obese. After enduring years of bullying for being a “big kid” Michaels finally began to shed the weight when she discovered martial arts at the age of 17. Her transformation led her a lifetime of physical fitness and she has successfully been a personal trainer for nearly two decades.
