Dawn French – Comedian – Lost 98 Lbs
Dawn French, famed for her role in the BBC’s Vicar of Dibley, is celebrated for her acting, yet her weight often drew more attention than her talent. In 2011, following her separation from her husband, she decided to make a lifestyle change. Although she initially lost weight, she needed to slim down further three years later in preparation for keyhole surgery.
French successfully dropped 98 pounds by combining a lower-calorie diet with regular exercise. In October 2020, she admitted to regaining some weight but emphasized a relaxed attitude toward it. At 63, she remains unapologetic about her body, stating that she doesn’t let others’ opinions affect her. Her journey highlights both her commitment to health when needed and her confidence in embracing herself regardless of public scrutiny.
