Drew Carey, mostly known for his jolly character on the hit show, The Drew Carey Show, says he has dropped 80 pounds since January.

Carey, 52, attributes his weight loss success to a strict routine of proper diet and exercise and told People magazine: "I like being skinny. I was sick of being fat on the camera."

The combination of proper eating, avoiding carbohydrates, drinking only water and rigorous cardio workouts made it possible for him to go from a size 44 pants to a 33-34. 

The Price Is Right host once battled Type-2 diabetes and found his new lifestyle exactly what he needed to get healthy.

"I'm not a diabetic anymore. No medication needed," he told the magazine, adding that he hopes to lose another ten pounds.
