Kathy Bates has revealed her remarkable 100-pound weight loss over the past six to seven years, which has significantly improved her stamina and mobility. The 76-year-old actress attributed her weight loss to mindful eating and a strong desire to avoid diabetes, a condition that runs in her family. Bates experienced her heaviest weight in 2011 during the filming of NBC's 'Harry's Law,' where she struggled with mobility. Her weight loss journey began with a 60-pound loss in 2019, which also alleviated symptoms of lymphedema from her cancer battle. Bates is currently starring in the CBS reboot of 'Matlock' and credits her weight loss for the energy needed to endure the demanding filming schedule. Despite speculations from fans about her using Ozempic, Bates emphasized her commitment to health and mindful eating practices.
