Candace Cameron Bure: Weight Loss
While playing plucky D. J. Tanner on the hit sitcom Full House from 1987 to 1995, Candace Cameron Bure never thought she was heavy.
“It wasn’t on my mind,” says Cameron Bure, now 31. But to this day, “people come up to me and say, ‘Weren’t you the chubby one?’
At age 16, I was 132 lbs., which is not a lot, but when you’re 5′2″ it shows.” Today, despite giving birth to three children, Cameron Bure weighs 22 lbs. less than she did back then.
She lost 20 lbs. at the end of the show’s run by working with a trainer her parents had hired because “they said it would be good for my health – they didn’t say anything about me being overweight.”
Still, Cameron Bure says she struggled with the scale yet focused on eating right and exercising even while pregnant with kids. It helped that her husband, Valeri Bure, is a Russian hockey star. “He is the best motivator for me,” says Cameron Bure, whose Pilates sessions with Bure “kick butt.”
She also plays tennis with her kids and sticks to a diet of oatmeal or eggs and toast for breakfast, a lunch and dinner of protein, salad and fresh fruit, and an occasional ice cream. “The other day at the market someone said, ‘You used to be fat. Look at you now!’” [via]

When you tell someone who weighs a 132 pounds at 5 ‘2 they are fat they are out of line as Stephanie would say How Rude! I think Candance is great and she seems like a good person. My kids and I like to watch the reruns it was a good show.
