CHAZ BONO – LOST 60 POUNDS

As the offspring of Sonny Bono and Cher, Chaz Bono had a head start in the industry. He began appearing as a child on the TV show, The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour. When Bono became an adult, he first came out as a lesbian and then as a trans man. In 2008 and 2010, the celebrity underwent a female-to-male transition and also asked his lawyers to change his gender and name in May 2010 legally.

While he was undergoing transition, he also struggled with his weight but realized that his health was in danger. Bono then made a great deal of effort to shed the unwanted weight in 2012. From 250 pounds on the scale, he dropped about 60. Maintaining it was a challenge, but the Dancing with the Stars now adheres to a strict diet. He also reports feeling good about losing all the extra weight. He is still far from the ideal, but he can take it one step at a time.
