“Inside John Goodman’s weight loss transformation as the star resurfaces in unrecognizable pics after dropping 200lbs”

The 69-year-old, who has famously played portly roles such as Fred Flintstone or Dan Conner on the classic ABC sitcom Roseanne admits he has battled his weight his entire life. In 2010, John hit his peak weight, tipping the scales at nearly 400 pounds. He joked that friends and family begged him to slim down because his large frame was causing furniture to break.

He started by cutting out heavy drinking in 2007, when he says he hit rock bottom shortly after winning an Emmy for his guest appearance on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. “I had to go accept an Emmy award,” he said. “So I missed the rehearsal because I was drunk. And then by the time Sunday morning rolled around I was shaking. I called my wife, which was like turning myself into the Gestapo. And she made some phone calls; we got me into a treatment center, and I detoxed there and decided I liked the feeling. And it’s been (14) years.”

The Emmy winner took on a personal trainer and upped his exercise routine, taking at least 10,000 steps a day. He also works out six days a week, starting each morning with 40 minutes of cardio followed by another 40 minutes of cardio in the afternoon, and intermittently adding strength training into the mix. He's also adopted a Mediterranean-style diet, featuring meals that focus on fish, olive oil, vegetables, nuts and fruit.

“I just got tired, sick and tired of looking at myself," he said. "You’re shaving in the mirror and you don’t want to look at yourself."
