For Drew Barrymore, 2012 is a "Big Miracle"

Drew Barrymore has transformed her life and her body in recent years - and it's all coming together for this sweet-faced, recently slimmed-down star in 2012. From her new film "Big Miracle" to her new fiancee, Drew's star is ascending!

Here's how she succeeded in losing weight and keeping it off:

  • Drew began her weight loss plan as a full-fledged vegetarian. However, she was "living on carbs," she told PEOPLE magazine. To lose the weight (more than 20 pounds), Drew shifted to a plan that incorporates more protein and variety.
  • She adjusts for diet slips ("I'm the worst dieter," she confessed) with exercise.  Drew runs 5 miles at a stretch, 3 times a week.
