Delta Burke – 65 Pounds
If you grew up in the ‘80s, then you probably remember Delta Burke, who played the role of Suzanne Sugarbaker on Designing Women. After leaving the superhit series suddenly, she remained absent from both the big and small screen. The reason? Well, Burke had gained some serious weight, so she decided to take a break and try and lose it.
Burke’s doctor informed her that if she didn’t work on her weight and take care of herself, then sooner, rather than later, she would need to take insulin for life. Thankfully, the actress managed to cut down her weight with proper diet and exercise, losing 65 pounds!
