Former plus-size, current not-really-plus-size model Crystal Renn (who is now a size 8-10) opened up about her recent (major) weight loss. We’ve got the details from Daily Mail:

She shot to fame as one of the world’s most famous plus-size models. But last night Crystal Renn admitted that she is now no bigger than a U.S. Size 8-10 (UK Size 12-14). The 24-year-old Chanel model, who was previously a UK Size 16, said that she finally felt ready to exercise for the first time since her teens, when she suffered from an eating disorder and became addicted to working out for up to eight hours a day. She revealed that a difficult break-up had contributed to her decision to embrace a more healthy lifestyle, and a combination of hiking and yoga had helped the weight drop off.

She told NY Magazine: ‘In the past, I avoided exercise because it brought back terrible feelings. I wasn’t ready. And I was scared that maybe I was going to be addicted again. That’s a fear that goes through your mind, whenever you’re getting over an addiction or a disease like anorexia, yeah, I absolutely was worried. But then I guess you could say my life changed in a really drastic way. For one, there was a split-up that I went through that was very difficult, and I thought, “You know what? I need to be in a good place. I need to find me again.”’

I went backpacking for three weeks and I came back and I had lost some weight. And basically I’ve been traveling ever since. This is just how my body is now… It’s been strange, actually, because it’s not something I’ve been trying to do,’ she admitted. She added that her current routine was far from rigorous: ‘I think I probably have a good relationship with the exercise that I do do,’ she said. ‘I’m taking care. I’m just in a really good place. I do hiking. I do yoga, but nothing crazy, just in my house. It brings me peace.’

Hot 45 year-old actress Elizabeth Hurley has something to share:

“I realized I’d got into a terrible habit of wolfing my food – hardly chewing at all. I really try to chew everything now and it’s made a massive difference to my digestion and I think it makes you eat less. I’m also trying not to eat so late at night, which again helps your digestion.”

“I put myself under pressure to remain slim because I still model my own bikinis and I’ve lost about 8lbs in the last few months.The first thing most people ask me when they meet me is, ‘How do you stay slim?’ My organic snack bars are one of my secrets. They’re under 100 calories and help me resist crisps and chocolate.”

… says Elizabeth.

Kelly Osbourne brings the quote of the day:

“My weight? People don’t realise it’s as shocking to me as it is to them. When they open up a magazine and they see it … I’m still getting used to seeing me like this and the changes and the way that … it’s weird!” she said.

“Girls in Hollywood don’t like you because you become competition. They have started to get much more nasty. You think, ‘Usually you say hi and now you don’t.’ ”

… says Kelly.

“I just shot the cover of Shape Magazine, which was such an incredible experience. I have never worn a bikini in my life before yesterday. I never even thought of wearing one! I cried when I saw the picture. Everyone that was there, we all just burst into tears. It was a thrilling experience.”

“Now every designer will send me anything that I want, and I can’t believe that I am in this situation,” she said. “I opened up all of these zip bags last night from Marchesa — off the runway –  and I can’t believe that it fits me.”

… says Kelly, who allegedly weighs 112 pounds.
