The Top Celeb Weight Loss Transformations You Have To See To Believe
MARTINE MCCUTCHEON – 14 POUNDS
Actress Martine McCutcheon had faced problems with her weight-loss attempts for years and it was only after she was properly diagnosed that she realized what the root of her issues was. She had been suffering from myalgic encephalomyelitis, better known as chronic fatigue syndrome that hampered her efforts to work out and be motivated. She also recently revealed she had been diagnosed with Lyme Disease, which meant that, as the disease messed up her system, it became harder for her to shed pounds, even as little as her 14-pound goal.

![](http://afternoonedition.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/John-Bradley-West.jpeg)
Only a few overweight actors have been as fortunate as John Bradley-West has been, especially for those outside comic circles. However, the 29-year-old Game of Thrones star was a long way off from satisfied with his physical appearance and set off on a fitness and weight-loss journey by incorporating low-calorie diet and what seems to be lots of physical activity (even though he doesn’t seem to exercise).

Josh claims he lost 70 pounds, though, considering he wasn’t fat before, and just buff, it seems more likely he’s down by 30. After all, a healthy man, who already works out and eats a proper diet cannot lose too much weight without risk. In any case, the weight loss suits him quite well.
