Al Sharpton
The Rev. Al Sharpton has lost some serious weight over the past few years. He went from 305 lbs. to 129 lbs! Why? “Around 2006, my youngest daughter Ashley poked me in the stomach and said, ‘Dad, why are you so fat?’ That kind of hurt my feelings. I grew up in civil rights and politics, so I’m pretty thick-skinned, but when your daughter says it, I started being conscious.” That’s when Sharpton changed his diet and began to exercise more.
