SHAWN JOHNSON – LOST 25 POUNDS

Shawn Johnson is an American former artistic gymnast who has bagged countless medals in her field. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she won a gold medal on the balance beam and a silver medal in floor exercise. At the Pan American Games, Johnson won the individual all-around championship, uneven bars and balance beam gold medals in 2007, and won the team championships in 2007 and 2011. She was also the winner of Dancing with the Stars season 8.

In 2012, she announced her retirement from gymnastics and later she was seen gaining a few extra pounds. Just like any celebrity, the athlete-star was not spared from criticisms. Because of this, Johnson took extreme measures to lose weight. She tried detox diets and juice cleansing and had almost developed anorexia. Fortunately, she was able to put her investment money to good use when she switched to a much healthier diet and weight loss plan.
