Christopher Schwarzenegger inspired to lose weight after missing out on skydiving dream
Christopher Schwarzenegger began his weight loss journey after being unable to go skydiving. The 27-year-old star - who is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver - revealed his dramatic transformation has been ongoing for more than five years and he was inspired to change his lifestyle after realising his weight was stopping him from getting involved in "everyday activities". Appearing at the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy + Healthy Summit in Los Angeles over the weekend, People magazine reports he said: "It was a big process. "I started in 2019 when I was living in Australia. I was on this big trip. I made it a big [deal] like, 'Oh, I'm going to go out and do all this stuff, be in Australia,' and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities. "I was like, 'I want to go skydiving.' And my friends were like, 'Yeah, no shot.' I was like, 'Yeah, I can't skydive.' " Christopher has "tried everything" to lose weight, with his insecurity beginning back in high school, and he still doesn't feel he has reached his goal. He said: "I tried everything. I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school. "It's not an overnight thing, but it took a lot of trial and error. "And even still to this day ... when you're saying, oh, before and after photos ... I don't feel like I'm an after yet. I don't feel like I'm at the point." One change which proved effective for Christopher was giving up bread, which he was inspired to do for the 40-day Lent period and was amazed at how much weight he lost as a result. He said: "Weirdly enough, I gave up bread for Lent. I don't know if anyone's Catholic in here, but I gave up bread for Lent. "I was like, 'Well, if I'm giving up bread, I might as well just take the opportunity and I'm a good Catholic boy, so I'm not going to break it.' "And that was my one rule. I was like, 'I'm not going to break Lent.' And so I lost 30 pounds just through that."

Kelly Osbourne criticised more for weight than anything else
Kelly Osbourne has claimed she was abused for "being fat" far more than being addict or a "horrible" person. The 40-year-old star - who previously underwent a gastric sleeve operation - slammed society for being "fat-phobic" and hit out at the "insane" criticism she has received and constant comments on her weight, even if people tried to frame their remarks as a compliment. Appearing at the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy + Healthy Summit at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday (10.05.25), People magazine reports she said: "We live in a fat-phobic world. 'I have been a drug addict, an alcoholic … I've been a complete mess, disrespectful to people, horrible — but I got more s*** for being fat than I did for anything else. It's insane. 'You'll never read an article about me that hasn't got a comment about my weight... 'People [would] say, 'You're so pretty. Why don't you just lose a little bit of weight, and then you'll be the total package.' " Kelly - who has two-year-old son Sidney with partner Sid Wilson - noted she had "tried everything" over the years to lose weight, but she could only make real changes when in the right mental space. She said: 'I tried probably everything that there is out there, whether it be surgery, medication, diet and exercise. "I got my mind where I needed it to be, and everything started to fall into place." She also noted: 'It's not just as simple as change your diet and move. You have to change your brain. You have to come to peace and acceptance about where you are in your life before you can start.' Kelly previously revealed she had undergone a gastric sleeve operation to lose weight, and later insisted she was "proud" to have slimmed down that way. Speaking on the 'Hollywood Raw' podcast in 2021, she said: "I had surgery; I don't give a f*** what anyone has to say. I did it, I'm proud of it, they can suck s***. I did the gastric sleeve. All it does is change the shape of your stomach. I got that almost two years ago. I will never ever ever lie about it ever. It is the best thing I have ever done. "The kind of surgery I had … if you don't work out and you don't eat right, you gain weight. All it does is move you in the right direction."
