HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — After months of grueling workouts, Sherri Shepherd fulfilled her promise of taking the stage in a bathing suit on Thursday's "The View."

Entering as "I'm Every Woman" played in the background, Shepherd showed off her new look as the crowd roared in approval.

"I feel really great," she said. "I just wanted to show people that you don't have to do anything crazy. You just have to make some choices and exercise and the weight will drop off. I hope some folks were inspired."
