Did you know that 64% of all Americans are overweight and 27% of all Americans are obese? Did you know that 300 million people world wide are obese and 400,000 deaths each year are directly or indirectly attributed to obesity? Sobering statistics huh? Did you also know that the diet industry is a $61 Billion a year industry as of 2008?
At approximately 300 pounds, everyone guesses she went the route of gastric bypass surgery because in a very short period of time, Star Jones lost a lot of weight. Of course Star denies the rumors vehemently. But before we speculate on Star Jones weight loss, let me reveal some startling statistics.
The worst-kept secret in TV is finally out: Star Jones Reynolds has at long last confessed that she had gastric bypass surgery. In the September issue of Glamour, on sale Aug. 7, former View cohost Star Reynolds breaks her silence in a revealing article about how she gained weight — and then struggled with the pressure to reveal how she lost it.
"I admit that when asked about my obvious weight loss, I was intentionally evasive," she says. For the past four years, Reynolds — who weighed over 300 pounds at the time of her surgery in 2003 — would only admit that "medical intervention" helped her shed 160 pounds.
"First, I didn't know if the surgery would work," she explains. "I had never stuck to a diet or committed to exercise for more than a month, and I had spent my entire adult life telling everyone that I was fine with the way I looked.... I was also terrified someone would have a tragic result after emulating me."
