It all began in 1977, when she was 23 years old and went to her first diet doctor. This was the unfortunate start of the dissatisfaction cycle. In the 1980s, the media magnate astounded admirers and fellow dieters. She dropped 67 pounds in a matter of weeks thanks to a liquid diet and regular 6.5-mile runs. In 1990, she regained some of her weight and then lost another 22 pounds on a liquid diet. This time, it was more than just a fad; she had found something that worked for her. In 2004, she dropped out of college to move to Chicago so that she could develop her radio show. Within months of moving there, she bought a house, hired a staff, and started producing her own television shows. She hasn't stopped since then! Today, she is one of the most influential people in the world who has an enormous impact on millions of people through her talk show. The reason why we're telling you this is because it seems like lately Oprah has been in the news a lot about her weight loss. First, she told everyone that she's finished with diets and revealed that she spends most of her time now working out and eating healthy food. Then she announced that she's giving away $20 million dollars to help those in need. Finally, she revealed that she's donating all of her money (about $100 million) to organizations that support women and girls around the world.
