Skinny VS Curvy

Kimora Lee Simmons is back to talk about hr recent weight loss – let’s hear her out:

You look amazing! Have you reached your goal?
I don’t know if I ever had a goal. I was just trying to lose some of the baby weight I’d gained when I was pregnant. Kenzo was a year old and I was thinking about getting my life back. Now the baby is almost 2, and I’ve lost about 30 pounds since last fall.

Does it bother you to see photos from when you were heavier?
Well, I’d just had a baby! I’m not bothered about it. I don’t live my life with that pressure. I’m a mother, a wife, a businesswoman. I’m not an actress, so I don’t have that life where I have to be on stage. I have the TV show, I’m into production and I develop businesses. I don’t feel like I have to be a size 2. I’m beautiful. When I was pregnant, I was probably like a 10 1/2, but I don’t really know. That would be a guess, and now I’m more like a size 6. But I always feel sexy.

If I’m pregnant, I feel like I’m bringing a life into this world and I feel like that’s beautiful as well. Now I’m thinner and that’s a different kind of sexy – but it’s always sexy.

What is your diet-and-exercise routine?
I do very easy things. Running after a 1-year-old really will do it, and I have three kids. I do a little cardio every day, and it doesn’t have to be on a machine. I sometimes take a walk. I try to do it for a minimum of 30 minutes a day. I stopped eating junk food, like chips and candy. It’s about timing, portion control and eating healthy foods that fill you up.

What was the hardest part of losing weight?
Not eating all the great things I love, as if we had really broken up! And even now, I’ll have a little bread. I am not neurotic about it. I don’t do things that I can’t maintain as party of a normal lifestyle… It’s all about moderation and making substitutions. For example, I have cut back on my dairy and I don’t eat so much fattening red meat.

Does this qualify as ‘too much Photoshop’ in your book?

Jennifer Hudson’s 60 lbs+ weight loss is still news – here’s an article that reveals that the singer / actress didn’t consider herself a ‘big girl’ before the weight loss. Other highlights? Daily Mail says that Jennifer is 170 pounds now at 5’9”  / 77 kg at  175 cm (ironically, just like Chloe in yesterday’s post) and just like Jessica Alba, she never gives her son sweets.

I didn’t even realise I was being discriminated against and missed out on things until I crossed over to the other side,’ she told US magazine Live Smart. Now, on this side, they treat you differently, the opportunities are different, my image is different, even though some people do say: “I like the fat Jennifer better”.’

She now weighs around 170lbs and is a US size 2 (UK size 6).

It was the 2007 Oscars and the former American Idol contestant was nominated for an Academy Award, which she eventually won. It was a complete shock,’ she says. Where I come from, Chicago, I was a normal-size girl. She was talking to me about being a bigger girl and I was like: ‘I am? Hudson says that the comment affected her perspective and self-image. ‘I felt insecure about my size,’ she says.

But back in Chicago she was happy in her own skin.

She says: ‘I didn’t ever say: “I hate my body”. I really liked myself and that’s why my mind has still not caught up to my new body. But this is the new me, I now think of myself as a supermodel… I have passed over from one side to the other. I am somewhere I never thought I would be. I look at myself in the mirror and I say: ‘Is that you?’

Despite sticking to the plan religiously Hudson says that after she lost the first 40lbs [2st 12lbs] her weight hovered at 190lbs [13st 8lbs].

But the 5ft 9in star didn’t give up. ‘I got stuck at 190lbs,’ she says. I had been 190lbs before and never could get any lower. I decided to just keep doing what I had been doing and it worked.’

‘My son has never had fried food,’ she says. ‘[And] we don’t give him sweets. I had to be an adult before I learned all of this. I remember my granddaddy used to walk us to the store every day and we would come back with bags and bags of chips [crisps] and it seemed like the whole candy store and bags of cookies.’

… or at least, that is what In Touch Weekly claims:

With her wedding just a few months away, LeAnn Rimes went on a diet to slim down before the big day – but has she taken it too far?

Although LeAnn’s rep denies the story, according to a course, LeAnn is thinner than she’s been in years, and she’s still losing. The source reveals that LeAnn is a bundle of nerves over marrying Eddie Cibrian, and she’s dieting and working out more than ever before.

“LeAnn is determined to look her best,” the source says. “Eddie likes skinny girls, so LeAnn seems to be dieting to keep him interested.”

During a gathering in their Hidden Hills neighborhood, a witness says that LeAnn sipped water and avoided alcohol.

Regardless of LeAnn’s reasons, she is definitely looking skinniER these days. Check out more pictures of her after the jump!

I didn’t realise that so many people were watching me or that so many people were interested,’ she revealed. ‘Now people come up to me saying, “You’ve inspired me” and I’m like, “Wow”‘.
