Melissa McCarthy Flaunts Stunning 75-LB Weight Loss (Pic)
Melissa McCarthy made a name for herself early with memorable comedic roles. She was the comic relief character with a few extra pounds. However, based on the most recent updates from her, she is kicking those pounds to the curb in a big way. So, what does she look like now?
Melissa McCarthy’s Weight Was Part Of Her Schtick
When you think of Melissa McCarthy’s previous roles in shows like Mike & Molly, it was easy to plug her into heavyset comedic roles with a good punchline. Over the years, the actor has branched out into other roles, but, most viewers agree that she is at her best when she is in some type of comedic role.
One thing that happens with this type of role is that it can be hard to break out of it. The same thing happened to Jonah Hill and Rebel Wilson before they eventually dropped the pounds. Viewers were so attached to Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy from the Pitch Perfect franchise that she legitimately struggled to break away from that and do other things.
McCarthy Has Carved Out A Successful Career For Herself In Hollywood
Melissa McCarthy has struggled with weight for years, admitting that she first started to put on the pounds as a teenager. After she already made it in Hollywood with successful roles, she still fell victim to fad diets that never worked in the long term.
She did everything from all liquid diets to going back to binge eating, and everything in between. She even managed to drop 70 pounds on a previous liquid diet after landing a role on Gilmore Girls, however, she was completely miserable. Eventually, after moving to Los Angeles, she stopped walking and started eating a bunch of food, leading to more weight gain.

Melissa McCarthy recently took full advantage of the Oscars to show off her latest physique. She wore a stunning, body-hugging dress that showed off every one of her curves, and she completely owned it on a night when all the stars in Hollywood came out.
McCarthy’s style choices always have a flair for the dramatic, and this time, she showed off her dramatic weight loss with her all-new, slim figure. She is 75 pounds down and looking better than ever. According to her, the secret has been to stop overthinking things when it comes to her weight, as well as maintaining a fitness regimen.
McCarthy said: “I just stopped constantly being worried about it and I think there’s something to kinda loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked.”
