Nick Carter Slims Way Down
Last month, US Weekly posted a before-and-after photo of Nick Carter (from the Backstreet Boys), who has lost a considerable amount of weight.
Nick weighed a whopping 224 pounds before deciding to lose the weight once and for all.
“I’d become depressed,” he tells US Magazine. “Something deep down inside of me said, I’m tired of being this person, and I’m a good-looking guy!”
So how did he lose the weight? According to this video, Nick got a personal trainer and works out with him religiously five days a week now. Plus, he counts calories in a little black notebook.
It sounds like he lost the weight in a very healthy and active way!

His face looks so thin compared to his arms… I bet they photoshopped in extra muscle for him.

yeah, calorie-notebook. Very healthy. Crap.

He doesn’t look ‘old’ now, he just looks like a man instead of a boy. After all he must be in his mid/late 20’s by now.

I think the ‘Now’ pic looks really good. I love to see people’s faces take shape when they’ve lost weight. His face looks so much better.

yeah he does look a whole lot better. good for him.

Whoa…didn’t see this one coming! He looks great though. He’s now the ‘VB’ of the Backstreet Boys…

yeah his body looks good .. but as far as him looking odd.. well he looks to be cracked out and on some sort of drugs … just MO.

too bad you can’t slim down ugly!!! oooohhh snap!
In all honestly, I think he was on drugs in the before pics. When he dated Paris cocain Hilton he always looked bloated and sweaty, coke either makes you scary skinny or bloated (ie Nicole Richie or Lindsay)

Wow, he looks so much older. Definitely looks better in the “now” pic, though.
I can’t believe I used to think this guy was hot when I was 13.

I don’t think he should drop anymore. But I have to give him a congrats for the dedication it takes to lose weight.

It’s hard to believe it’s him in “Now” pic..

Who really cares? I can’t believe tabloids give a crap about him at all, becasue I sure don’t. Lost weight? So what, you never even had talent.
By Jodi on Aug 20, 2007 | Reply
I wouldn’t know him if I fell over him, in either the fat version or the lean. I wouldn’t mind falling onto the lean version, though. I know absolutely nothing about him, so I’m just going on looks alone. I have no idea whom he’s dated or slept with or even what his music sounds like.

Is it just me or doe he have the lollipop syndrome going on? I don’t know…he looks too small in the body, with a humongous head. He’s going to become a manorexic like Carson Daly.
By Joelle on Aug 20, 2007 | Reply
I think he looks better now. He has a nice face. Handsome bone structure.
About a month ago, I saw him at the gym. He looked fit.
By beautyqueen18 on Aug 20, 2007 | Reply
Major improvement, but i’m still not interested. Didn’t he beat up Paris Hilton? Remember the bruises she was sporting right after they broke up?
By cokate on Aug 20, 2007 | Reply
maybe he looks older because he is not shaved in the now pic. he looks good now but he is a has been.
By sabrina on Aug 20, 2007 | Reply
Thats effin crazy! It’s amazing what losing weight can do to your appearance. Yes he looks better, but he looks like seth green kinda. it’s hard to explain. he doesn’t look like Nick. I think he would look better a little pudgier… I hadn’t realized he was that fat before… what a gross before pic!! haha ugh.

I’ve seen more recent pictures of him-far more flattering. He’s looking great and seems to be keeping it off. He is in a movie Fast Glass in postproduction right now. He was a pretty boy, now he’s a good looking man.

anyone remember seeing the episode of Kathy Griffin where Kathy went on a date with Nick, and Nick’s publicist was blocking all the paps’ cameras because Nick had already sold his exclusive before-and-after weight loss photo rights to a magazine?
i have been wondering whatever became of that… good to know. thanks for posting this story, skinny girl.
i think he looks good! looks like his cracked out bro.

He used to look good back in the days when he was young. If I saw him on the streets I wouldn’t recognize him.

Whilst his body looks good. He DOES have a ‘meth face’ Hm i hope not. I read somewhere that the area where his home is - has a high meth rate….

I wasn’t a Backstreet Boys fan or a Nick Carter fan, but now he is looking very hot indeed. I think I need a moment.

for all you haters, why do you say anything at all? for those of you who don’t even know WHO he is, why the heck are you saying anything here? your opinion doesn’t matter. in fact none of your opinions do. the only opinion that DOES matter, is NICK’S!
nick has never done drugs EVER. he smokes marlboro cigarettes (which i hope he’ll give up one day) and he occasionally drinks alcohol.
i would take nick in any way, shape or form. i loved him with a few extra pounds, and i love the newer thinner version.
he does NOT look like a coke or meth-head. his face is thinner because of the weight loss. everyone knows the first place you lose weight is in your face. i’ve lost 67 pounds and the first place it was noticed was my face.
to successfully lose weight, you HAVE to calorie count. you have to account for everything that goes in your mouth. whether it be one saltine cracker, one chocolate chip cookie, 8 potato chips, mac and cheese (of which i believe there are between 4 and 6 servings), a hamburger with the works (take into account, the cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato and count them too) etc. try yourself, looking on the label of a package, find out the serving size, and tell me you can eat just one serving size of some things. if its one of your favorites, it’s impossible. you’ll eat more than that.
look in a mirror. tell me you love what you see! i bet you look more like a coke or meth-head like you’re accusing nick. i bet you’re also ugly or overweight yourself. take stock of yourself and make sure your own ‘house’ is completely clean before you start to throw stones at others houses. i happen to know mine is in great shape now.
Nick is doing this the right way. he’s begun eating healty, exercising and taking stock of his life. leave him alone. let him be. he’s a good man.

Good one, ‘a nick fan’.
I think he looks great now. He looks like he’s finally grown up.
By Ams on Aug 21, 2007 | Reply
What a concept: exercise and counting calories. Why can’t people realize that’s the only way to manage the weight? And good for him.
I’m not a Nick fan but I can’t believe the nonsense I read on this site from many posters who are completely ignorant of proper weight managment. It’s like people think starving is the answer or being a certain weight for a certain height is the solution. Exercise and eat well 6 days a week and everything falls into place.
And FYI: muscle weighs more than fat. Since he’s working with someone with an education in fitness, odds are he weights probably weight 10 or more lbs. than one would think.

he doesn’t look happy in either of the pics though

He looks tired..but he said he’s depressed so i guess that fits…good job on the body though
By Dutchgirl on Aug 21, 2007 | Reply
@a nick fan: LOL! Did you take your medicine this morning?
Sure he looks much better in the after pic, being overweight doesn’t suit anyone I guess. But still, his eyes seems strange and it gives his face an unhealthy look.

guuuuuuuurl, i hate to break it to you, but that boy spends most of his time (when off work) either drunk or high.
It’s good that he’s fit. Now he just needs to work on the alkie problem.

i just saw him in a move and he was heavy and i was thinking it dind’t look natural for him to be that heavy - he’s very cute but that after picture is a bad one - his face doesn’ t look well - i think he’s a little too slim now - but hopefully he’ll put on five pounds or so - he’s very cute

If you really think all of what you said is true about Nick you are either very naive or really out of touch with reality.

He is totally on psych meds. as well….we just don’t know which ones yet. It will surface soon. Or his “coke” habit. LOL!!!
By joey on Aug 21, 2007 | Reply
haha. Healthy way? seriously. I’m not friends with the guy but I have no reason to believe he’s not coked out as ever.
By Sloan on Aug 21, 2007 | Reply
First the body, then the career? I’m sure that’s the plan. Seriously, though, I watched some of his “reality” show and felt sad for all of them. They had terrible parenting and did well to become famous, although I don’t care for that style of music. I just hope his therapy, if he had some, addressed anger management. No one should be leaving their partner black and blue.

Chill, you guys, just chill. . . . . Nick lost the weight when he was ready to, maybe he was motivated by a new project or something. Truth is you can’t loose weight just by using drugs, you would actually have to cut down calories. Alcohol has waaaay toooo many calories for him to loose so much weight binge drinking, so I think the Alkie rumors are fake, coke?maybe true. . . But he looks good and he did the work that it takes to get there. Keep Chillin’

He didn’t beat up Hilton, he’s not doing drugs and he might had had a slight problem with alcohol, but if he’s excercising and eating healthy now, it means his whole life style has changed.
For those who say he’s coked, a meth face, etc.: Did you witness it? Can you prove he’s on something? I don’t think so. So stop bitching.
At -a nick fan-, thank you, you just pushed back into me the hardcore-nick-fan spirit, it had been inactive for quite a while.

Ok I’m a “Nick fan” too, but that one chick is DELUSIONAL. It’s quite obvious that Nick has a drinking problem and I wouldn’t doubt that he gets high too. He does look good in the second pic though….bit anorexic…but still pretty ripped.
