Though Mariah Carey was thrilled to learn she was pregnant with twins last year, the pop diva (who's married to Nick Cannon) wasn't quite as happy about the 70 pounds she gained during pregnancy. (12/12/10) Six months after giving birth to babies Moroccan and Monroe, 41-year-old Mariah became a spokesperson for the Jenny Craig weight-loss program, which she credits with helping her lose her last 30 pounds. (Those first 40, she says, was just water weight.) "I feel better in every way," Mariah told USA Today in November. "To me, it's mind, body and soul. I was in a bad place physically during my pregnancy."

The 21-year-old hasn't revealed how much weight she's lost, but did tell Shape how she did it: "I started slowly by walking the path around my house, and then eventually walking a little bit faster, and then actually going and climbing up the mountain [near my home]. So it was literally a mountain to climb, but I did that." She also began working with a personal trainer, taking Zumba classes with her mom, and making small changes to her diet.

The comedian's wake-up call came when he realized he could no longer keep up with his fiance's 5-year-old son. Drew began a physician-supervised fitness and nutrition program and was restricted to lean protein, lots of vegetables, limited fruit, few starches, vitamins and nutritional supplements, and at least 64 ounces of water a day, which helped him lose more than 75 pounds. "This is how you're supposed to feel every day," he told Parade. "This is what I should have felt like my whole life!"
