Chaz Bono Loses 65 lbs.: Shows Off Weight Loss At 'Dancing with the Stars' 300th Episode Celebration

Chaz Bono showed off a slimmer physique on the 300th episode of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" Tuesday night. The son of Cher, competed on the hit reality dancing show back in 2011 and wowed the viewing audience with his weight loss. Bono had revealed back in November that he wanted to lose 50 pounds from his 250 pound frame. The 44-year-old has since lost 65 pounds.

As a result of losing the weight, Bono is now healthier and happier. According to ABC News, Bono has upped his weight loss goal from the initial 50 pounds to 80 pounds. Bono's cholesterol and blood pressure levels have lowered as a result of the weight loss and it seems like the LGBT activist is feeling better overall.

"Physically, my body feels just so much better," Bono told People magazine. "I'm in a lot less discomfort when I exercise and am doing physical stuff. All of my numbers are all normal now, which is great - my blood pressure, my cholesterol. I just have a lot more confidence, and that feels really cool. I really like what I see in the mirror."

It sounds like Bono has the right state of mind when it comes to losing the weight. "To me, it was never really about a number," Bono explained to People. "It was just about getting healthy and feeling and looking better. So I'm just kind of letting my body dictate. I've been eating the same way now for months and months and that hasn't changed. I'm going to have to eat this way for the rest of my life."

People magazine also noted that Bono split from his fiancée Jennifer Elia back in 2011, but the slimmer Bono is ready and looking for love. Bono mentioned to People that he hasn't found anyone yet, but is looking.
