From Kirstie Alley's 100-pound weight loss ("Fat Actress" begone!) to Jennifer Aniston's get-in-the-zone diet dedication, get the secrets to the 5 most successful celebrity transformations:
  1. Kirstie Alley: After struggling with her weight for years, Kirstie decided to create her own diet plan. Her new company, Organic Liaison, features an organic weight loss product called Rescue Me - and Kirstie rescued herself by losing 100 pounds.
  2. Oprah Winfrey: The talk show host queen battled the bulge for decades, going public with her war against weight. Example: she came on stage pulling a little red wagon piled with 67 pounds of fat (representing her success at the time with a protein diet). Now, she's made peace with her body, working with fitness trainers and physicians to become slimmer and more healthy.
  3. Jennifer Aniston: This once-plump "Friend" became the "poster girl" for the Zone diet. The Zone program uses protein blocks, carb blocks, and fat blocks to help you stay satisfied while losing weight. In addition, Jennifer faithfully practices yoga.
  4. Kelly Osbourne: "Dancing with the Stars" began her transformation - and Kelly resolved to continue her slim-down success. In an interview with Shape magazine, Kelly credited dance partner Louis van Amstel with guiding her to a high-protein, low-carb weight loss program that she continues today. Coupled with fitness, including a personal trainer, and her mom's support, Kelly today is radiant and slim.
  5. Britney Spears: This "oops I did it again" singer-actress-dancer rode the weight loss rollercoaster more than once. Now, determined to get healthy for her children, Britney is driving past those formerly favorite fast food joints and heading for grilled chicken and salads. Her exercise program includes using the treadmill and dancing.
