Shonda Rhimes – 150 lbs – Portion Control and Lifestyle Change

She’s the mastermind behind “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal,” and “Bridgerton,” but Shonda Rhimes’ biggest rewrite came off-screen. In 2015, she dropped 150 pounds through portion control and a complete lifestyle overhaul, not for the red carpet, but for her kids and her health. The transformation stunned fans when she debuted her new look at Elle’s Women in Hollywood event that year.

Shonda was quick to remind everyone that weight loss didn’t magically change who she was, and she wasn’t chasing approval. By 2021, she had inked a massive Netflix deal and was steering a billion-dollar empire. The slimmer frame didn’t matter because her words and brilliance always did the heavy lifting.
