Losing the Baby Weight: How Long Did It Take For These Celeb Moms?

Leta Shy — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 09:02:46 PDT

The spectrum of the celebrity post-pregnancy baby weight battle can range from unbelievable to slow and steady, but no matter what, there's always a new mom in the spotlight who's dishing on her diet. The queen of all, of course, is Heidi Klum, who famously lost all the baby weight from her first pregnancy in eight weeks by following trainer David Kirsch's Ultimate New York Diet, just in time to walk the Victoria's Secret runway. And the four-time mom has been doing it ever since. What about other famous Hollywood moms? Check out how these celeb mamas got back to their pre-baby shape - and how long it took them!

Debra Messing Took the Pressure Off and Lost Weight

Debra Messing looks absolutely vibrant on the cover of Shape's January issue, and why shouldn't she have that radiant smile? The actress's outlook on life is positive and she hopes that 2009 will be her healthiest year yet, and it seems this beautiful redhead is more than capable of accomplishing her personal goals. I've always been a fan of the funny actress, but developed a new sense of appreciation for Debra after learning her attitude toward the opinion of others.

Regarding her post-pregnancy weight, she told Shape, "It was written about in the tabloids a lot. On one page it showed all the actresses who got skinny in six weeks or less, and on the other page was me!" This external criticism didn't get her too down though, and after briefly working out with a trainer she realized that she needed to figure out a routine that fit her lifestyle, not the expectations of others.

To see how she lost the 42 pounds she gained during her pregnancy,

Debra said, "[The personal trainer] helped me drop the first few pounds, but I was exhausted! I couldn't work out three hours a day and do my job as a mother and an actress. So I took the pressure off: I cut back on seeing the trainer but started eating healthier. Ultimately I'm very proud of how I dropped the weight because I think it was the healthy approach. I've finally taken ownership of my body."

Nice to hear that not every Hollywood mama loses her baby weight before her baby begins to teethe!

Tracy Anderson Talks Pregnancy and Postpregnancy Fitness Tips For Celebs and Real Women

Kate Stahl — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 11:02:03 PDT

We recently sat down with celeb trainer Tracy Anderson to talk all about her new pregnancy DVDs, which are set to be released next month. (Stay tuned for some exclusive exercise routines Tracy created for FitSugar and LilSugar.) Tracy, who's expecting a daughter in May, opened up to us about her own pregnancies, her celeb clients, and how real women should approach pregnancy before, during, and after it. Check out the highlights of our intimate talk below.

On her pregnancy weight gain: "I gained 60 pounds with my son, and I've only gained 20 pounds during this pregnancy. I was 22 years old when I was pregnant with my son, and I actually discovered my method while I was pregnant. For the last 13 years, I've been giving birth to a business! My body is so tightly knit and so much stronger from 13 years of doing my method. It's so important that you get into good shape before you get pregnant, if you're lucky enough to plan it. Your chances of staying put together are better, and it's so much easier to get it back."

On her pregnancy diet: "With my son, I ate what felt natural, and that was cheeseburgers and milkshakes! I still eat what I crave, but I learned with my son, pregnancy is not the time for a total gorge fest. But even with this pregnancy, sometimes the only thing I can get down is a doughnut or an Arby's sandwich - and I don't even eat Arby's. I've had a lot of food aversions."

On her teenage son: I don't recommend waiting 13 years between children, but my son is so excited about the baby. One thing that's been really great about the age difference is that I've been able to see that my son is going to be a great man because he's been so sweet, nurturing, and protective during my pregnancy."
