Struggling with obesity is as hard as it gets. Louisiana-born Randy Jackson went through it all by carrying a 350-pound weight on his 5-foot 11 frames while being constantly fatigued, thirsty, and sweaty.

Over the years, the star grew up with super spicy and fatty cuisine in his hometown. Of course, there were bound to be weight issues.

But the American bassist finally found himself succeeding with a splendid 220 pounds weight loss.
