Oprah Winfrey, whose weight has gone up and down throughout her two-decades-long show, plans to depart in 2011. Oprah has reigned as one of the most dynamic, intelligent hosts in TV history, and part of her charisma is her honesty with fans about personal matters, in particular her battle with the scale.
Oprah's most dramatic weight loss: she revealed it when she hauled a toy wagon onto her set in 1988 that contained a glob representing her 65-pound-plus weight loss. Wearing size 10 Calvin Klein jeans, Oprah said she had used a liquid protein diet.
The talk show diva's most dramatic weight gain: in 2008, she used her magazine as a forum to admit her humiliation in regaining all the weight plus more, to a high of 200 pounds. "I'm embarrassed," she said in the magazine, and "mad at myself."
