Thread about the most successful people in history!

[Monster2]

If you think about it, even some of the most successful people in history have had weight problem. This sort of just occurred to me. Let's go over the list of UBER successful people with weight problems and revel in the fact that we can be just as successful as them in our weight loss.
Two immediately come to mind:
--Oprah Winfrey
--Steven King
(added)
famous singers:
--Luciano Pavorati
--Aretha Franklin

LOL the guy who ran over Stephen King died shortly afterward. That shouldn't be funny

Russian president Dmitry Medvedev
Rapper Missy Elliot
English actor Stephen Fry

Oh, I totally misread the original post. I thought we were talking about people who are successful and have weight loss problems at the same time. Not people who are successful in their weight loss efforts while being in the public eye.

In that case, I would definitely take Oprah Winfrey out of the list, she is in no way 'successful' when it comes to weight loss, unless she is supposed to be a shining example on how not to do it. She's horrible and I hope nobody tries to copy what she's doing.

Pavarotti isn't a good example either, he didn't really start losing weight until he fell ill, and even then he struggled.

So I hope that I will be a lot more successful than those two, for sure....

Isn't Oprah Winfrey more of a classic yo-yo dieter? Plus I wouldn't call Pavarotti (gained/lost 5,000lbs over the years) nor Aretha Franklin super successful either.

I hope to think I can be more successful than these people regarding weight loss.
