Christian Bale's normal weight is about 185.
In 2004, Christian Bale lost 63 lbs in 4 months (from 173 to 110) to play Trevor Reznik in "The Machinist". Then he gained 120 lbs, all the way to 230 to play Batman Begins in 2005. This was too much weight gain, so he lost 30 to get down to 200. (Another source says 190). (I wrote about this before).
In 2007, he lost 55 lbs to play the part of Dieter Dengler in Rescue Dawn. I can't find anything that says exactly how much he weighed, but I'm guessing about 135. Not as much as for the Machinist but still quite a transformation. Then he had to bulk up again to play the Dark Knight in 2008. I couldn't find anything that says how much, but I'm guessing 190.
Then in 2010, he lost 30 lbs to play (to 155?) Dicky Eklund in the Fighter. Then he had to get back up to a normal weight to play Batman again in the 2012 film The Dark Knight rises.
To make the movie American Hustle in 2013, he gained 43 lbs (up to 228). This wasn't a healthy weight for him and he got really fat. But he had to get in shape (to 180?) quickly after that to play Moses the 2014 file Exodus: Gods and Kings.
He gained 40 lbs to play Dick Cheney in 2018 (to 220?).
Finally, in 2019 he had to lose 70 lbs to play Ken Miles (to 150?) in Ford v Ferrari.

The point is that dramatic weight loss isn't bad.
