'Mike & Molly' star Billy Gardell reveals how he lost over 150 pounds

Billy Gardell showed off his jaw-dropping slimmed down figure after his dramatic weight loss journey.

The 53-year-old actor – who weighed 370 pounds during the peak of his television sitcom "Mike & Molly" – detailed his shocking transformation.

"I float between 205 and 210 [pounds]," Gardell said of his current weight during an appearance on "Entertainment Tonight."

"Self-care is important, and I think I finally got there… Walking around pretty healthy these days."

Gardell continued to offer advice for those looking to lose weight.

"I think you got to find peace with yourself and at some point, look in the mirror and go, 'You know, it's probably time to take care of you.' And I didn't get that note early on," he expressed.

"But I'm a big believer that when you get it, you get it. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as you get it."

In 2020, the "Bob Hearts Abishola" star underwent a life-changing procedure: gastric bypass surgery.

"I chickened out from doing it like twice," he added.

Since his impressive weight loss, Gardell pointed out that his resting heart rate dropped from 113 to 68 and that his Type 2 diabetes is now "gone."

While he switched to healthier life choices, including incorporating "small but very healthy" meals into his diet, he confessed there’s one habit he’s still attempting to quit.

"I'm still smoking cigarettes," Gardell admitted. "But I'm working on that one. A buddy of mine told me, 'Knock them down in the order they're killing you.'"

The father of one explained that his son was his biggest motivation to shed weight.

"When you hit 50, you start doing that dad math, like, 'If I can live 25 more years, and he'll be 40'... You know what I mean?... I want to be here for him," he remarked.

"I've been an example in a lot of good ways for my child, but I feel like I wasn't a good example of health for him… I want him to see that. It doesn't matter what age you are, if you are willing to do something a day at a time, you can change anything."

The "Young Sheldon" star went on to say that he had to tape back his skin while filming because his "skin hadn’t adjusted yet" after the weight loss.

One critique that Gardell has about being skinny is that his wardrobe drastically changed. 

"I miss my fat boy pants because you could drop them and step out like a fireman," he quipped.

US diplomatic convoy attacked in Sudan as rival factions battle in capital

Separatist forces in Sudan are believed to have opened fire on a convoy of U.S. diplomats traveling in the nation's capital of Khartoum on Monday as rival factions continued a bitter conflict over control of the country.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he has spoken with the leaders of both factions and believes the attack was carried out by Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo's Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The RSF is a paramilitary group currently warring with the Sudanese army, led by Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan.

"I can confirm that yesterday we had an American diplomatic convoy that was fired on. All of our people are safe and unharmed. But this action was reckless, it was irresponsible, and of course unsafe – a diplomatic convoy with diplomatic plates, a U.S. flag, being fired upon," Blinken said in a statement.

"In the calls that I had this morning with Gens. Hemedti and Burhan, I made very clear that any attacks, threats, dangers posed to our diplomats were totally unacceptable," Blinken said. "The initial reports that we have is that it was undertaken by forces associated with the RSF."

Burhan and Dagalo were once allies who successfully conspired to overthrow the Sudanese government as it was transitioning to a democracy in 2021. The pair have since split over who should lead the country.

The rival forces have fought for four days as of Tuesday, killing at least 185 people and wounding 1,800 more. The RSF called for a 24-hour humanitarian cease-fire on Tuesday, but Burhan's forces rejected the offer, dismissing it in a statement posted on Facebook as an attempt to cover up "the overwhelming defeat [the RSF] will receive within hours[.]"

Fighting in Khartoum has left the capital city scarred as warring factions seek to take control of the Republican Palace, the Sudanese seat of government. The current headquarters for both factions are in residential areas, however, which greatly increases the threat of civilian casualties.

Despite the claims of imminent victory from Burhan's forces, it was unclear who had the advantage in the conflict as of Tuesday.
