RANDY JACKSON – LOSE 100 POUNDS

Since 2002, Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Kaul have served as judges for the American Idol show on Fox TV. In the eighth season of the show, the jury joined the famous producer Keira Diogudi. Grammy Award-winning record producer Randy Jackson is open about his successes and failures when it came to his weight-loss journey. Over the years, he admittedly swiped his credit cards for countless programs and methods but to no avail.

However, when he was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, it was as if he was slapped with a wake-up call. The bassist took his condition seriously from then on. In 2003, Jackson opted to undergo gastric bypass surgery to energize his weight-loss efforts. But weight-loss surgery is not a permanent solution as Jackson soon regained his weight. Still, he remains a health advocate, even starting his own weight-loss program.
