Courteney Cox has been one of our favorite friends for years now. After the show ended, she started her own show on FX called “Dirt“. In Touch Weekly is reporting that Courteney dropped weight from 123 pounds to 108 pounds. According to the magazine, she wants her show to be a hit, but so far it’s only a “modest success.” Philip Goglia, of PFC Nutrition is stating that Courteney’s dramatic weight loss:
