Lisa Lampanelli's 106 Pound Weight Loss Revealed

Lisa Lampanelli has lost a total of 106 pounds in the last 13 months.

"I'm officially a skinny bi---!" she told to a well known magazine.

Since being subjected to gastric-sleeve surgical treatment on April 9, 2012, the comedienne continues to be capable to sustain a toned figure because of workout and portion control. And at 142 pounds, Lampanelli told In Touch, "I feel like I've reached the weight I'm supposed to be."

But, her work isn't over. "I have to figure out my addiction issue and how I even got overweight in the first place," she said.

Farrah Abraham Lands Six-Figure Diet Pill Endorsement Deal

Farrah Abraham made a LOT of money on her sex tape, but if you think that was just a one-time thing, think again.

According to TMZ, she's already landed a six-figure endorsement deal for Raspberry Tones, a company that sells "diet and fat loss" pills.

The company said that it was Farrah's recent bikini pics, not the sex tape, which actually caught their attention.

A rep for the company said, "Farrah represents a growing audience of young, active people who take care of their health and use only natural products to look and feel great. Farrah looks fit and fabulous, and takes care of her body, and a lot of health-conscious people can look up to that."

When a TMZ paparazzo asked Farrah if she had "tested" the pills, she thought he was talking about STD testing for her sex tape and answered accordingly.

Weight Led Governor Chris Christie to Surgery

Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey ascended to become one of the country's top political stars almost in spite of his weight � dismissing those who questioned whether his size disqualified him for higher office as "ridiculous" and "irresponsible."

Now, like some overweight politicians before him, Mr. Christie has embarked on a major effort to shed pounds at a time when his eyes are on the presidency. Saying that "a whole bunch of other things" had not worked, he revealed on Tuesday that he had undergone weight loss surgery three months ago. He is now 40 pounds lighter.

Mr. Christie, a Republican, said concerns about his family, not politics, drove him to undergo the "Lap-Band" procedure, in which a silicone band is placed around the stomach to discourage overeating.

His staff and even his closest political advisers said they had not known he had the operation or had even considered having it.

But in the image-conscious world of politics, the questions about what effect slimming down would have on a possible presidential run immediately dominated the discussion of his move. Mr. Christie's heft has been part of his brand. Would he risk losing some of his Everyman appeal along with the weight?

The governor swatted those questions again. "Whatever size I happen to be when I have to make decisions about what to do next in my career, I doubt that will play any role or effect in what I decide to do," he told reporters massed outside an event in Newark. "It's not a career issue for me; it is a long-term health issue for me."

Gemma Arterton On Celebrity Weight Loss And The Obsession With Her Body

Gemma Arterton is not only recognized from her English Rose features or her formidable acting talent, but she�s also famed for her gloriously hourglass figure. Something many women and clearly men admire, but the star is more concerned with what the pressure of weight loss is doing to female actors.

As the gorgeous Gemma Arterton graces the June issue of Marie Claire she reveals how she really feels about her body and the amount of attention the press and public give it. 'People don't go on about it as much now, because I've said I just don't care,'she tells us. 'But it's good to talk about it.'

And her refreshing approach to image doesn�t stop there, expressing empathy towards other celebrities who feel pressured to lose weight.

Gemma Arterton adds: "Today I saw an actress I know and she's lost so much weight. She's gone from a size 12 to a size four within two months.' While shocking, the British star knows this is an example of something on a much wider scale�

The former Bond girl continues: "There are so many good, intelligent actresses doing this, and I just think, "Why does that go hand in hand with the acting profession?" It shouldn�t. It lets the side down. It lets down team woman."

And team woman is something very close to her heart as Gemma reveals she loves "going all feminist."

We're right behind you Ms. Arterton!
