The World’s Biggest Celebrities Who Lost Weight And How They Did It

Delta Burke – Lost 20 Pounds in Undisclosed Year

Delta Burke is perhaps most famous for playing Suzanne Sugarbaker, the smug ex-beauty queen on “Designing Women.” The two-time Emmy-nominated star endured brutal public ridicule due to her televised weight gain. And during the shooting of the CBS sitcom, she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Upon leaving the show in 1991, she weighed 215 pounds.

According to Eating Well, Burke was slow to lose weight with diet and exercise until she realized she had to alter her mindset. The website also shared that the wife of actor Gerald McRaney had to learn about portion control and which foods work best for her, eventually leading to a 20-pound weight loss.
