Chaz Bono slims down for Dancing With The Stars

Dancing With The Stars turns out to be one big diet plan, at least of Kirstey Alley, and most recently, Chaz Bono, who decided to adopt healthier lifestyles in order to survive through the show.

Chaz is the show’s first ever transgender contestant, and he already lost five pounds barely a week into rehearsals. Lacey Schwimmer, Chaz’s partner, says that he has not only gone far physically, but emotionally as well. “When I first met him, he didn’t want to do anything that made him look silly,” says 23-year-old Schwimmer, during an interview with People Magazine.  ”Now he’s all for it. He’s goofing off and he’s pretending to be Maks [Chmerkovskiy] in rehearsals. It’s really funny.”

“He’s such a great guy,” says Schwimmer. “He is so nice, and he’s such a kind person. He’s awesome. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner this time.”
