“I’ve lost three pant sizes in 10 days!” - Wayne Newton

“I’ve already lost 20-some pounds! I lost a little before we started. Six or 7 more… and the six pack will come back!” - Mark Cuban

“I’ve lost 14-16 pounds. I’m actually about 7 pounds lighter than I was when I was 16 years old and training in ballet! So I don’t think I should lose any more or I’ll evaporate!” - Jane Seymour.
