Get Fit with the Stars: Inspiring Celebrity Weight Loss Stories & Effective Weight Loss Strategies

Ricky Gervais – 22 Lbs

Ricky Gervais is one of Britain’s most acclaimed comedians and is known for creating the original, British version of “The Office.” But when he was younger, he wanted to be a pop star and worked in the music industry, managing the band Suede at one point.

Something less of a dream and more of a reality check was his weight loss journey. After discovering that he is overweight, Gervais made some changes to his lifestyle, although he didn’t change his diet as others do. Instead, he focused on exercise, running, and hitting the gym for weights. Gervais has a role in the short film “Save Ralph.”
