I want to punch the ladies on the Today Show right now

They're talking about celebrities losing their baby weight so quickly.  The first thing they said about Mel B (she lost 50 lbs fast), was that when her baby went down for a nap in the morning, she'd take an hour and go out and work out with a trainer.  Right, because we all have nannys and trainers.  Oh, and everyone should BF and only eat 1600 calories/day while doing it.

Re: I want to punch the ladies on the Today Show right now

  • Yeah, that's crap. It has always bothered me that no celebrity has ever had a baby with colic, either. Or one who refused to nap. Or maybe they just don't know b/c they're not taking care of them?

     

  • lol...I love you Jess.

     

  • Yup.  And it's so easy for new moms to just whip up a healthy meal 3x/day of steamed fish and veggies and not eat carbs.  I'm hormonal enough when I don't eat bread, nevermind after giving birth.
  • they said she gained 170 lbs, come on!  that's another whole person!  and if she lost 50 lbs right away she must have pushed out a 20lb baby!  now I feel crappy...where is my darn trainer!?!?

  • I'm so effing cranky today, I feel like I got hit by a bus, and that segment was just the icing on the cake!!
  • Heather, they corrected themselves.  She WEIGHED 170, and is down to like 125 now.  I did a double take when they said she gained that much!

  • Why is this wrong?  This is what I did, because I needed to do a bikini cover shoot 6-weeks post partum.

    And really, why would anyone eat more than 1600 calories in a day?

    ;)

  • Jess, after that baby arrives, don't you let anyone tell you "Just X and Y will happen". Feel free to flick them just for saying that.

    You just figure out the logistics of peeing and getting a shower when you want one.
  • Ok Fitzy, now I want to punch you!!

    LMAO!!!

    (kidding, of course)

    And I think I ate more than 1600 calories/day doing WW.

  • Yeah, Duff, that's all I kept thinking.  People keep telling me to cherish alone time in the bathroom, nevermind out hiking the effing California mountains with my effing trainer.
  • Hey Jess, don't punch me...I can't help it if I'm back in swimsuit shape already...for a plus-sized catalog. It takes dedication to look like I'm still 4 mos pg!
  • Ok Fitzy, you win the thanks for making me laugh award.  I'm so over myself today.
  • Bastids!

  • Well don't you worry, honey, I'll be happy to share my secrets with you after you have BGB.  And take it easy today - maybe a mani/pedi?
  • I actually have a dr appt this afternoon, but I'm thinking some retail therapy either before or after is in order.  I just had a less than 2 weeks ago, but may get another one on Friday before my shower this weekend.
  • Definitely get another mani/pedi.  You don't know when you'll be able to get one again.  I used to go every two weeks like clockwork, and I've had two in 6 months. 
  • Can I give you DH's email so you can tell him that they're not a luxury, but a necessity?

    LOL

  • Sure.  He'll have to listen to me b/c I just gave him great ebay feedback.
  • LOL

    I was just reading somewhere about J.Lo and how basically she got back to shape so quickly be/c there are two children to feed, etc.  Bullshite!!  She probably actually sees those children for a few hours a day tops, and even then with a  shiteload of nannies in tow. 

    Lypo and starvation.  I swear that is how they do it.

     

     

  • lol Jess...yeah, that's a whole person she would have gained.  don't worry, you'll lose all your weight!

  • That's right Fitzy, you guys are like BFFs now anyway, he'll listen to you!!

    LOL

    I'm not even worried about losing the weight honestly.  I haven't gained nearly as much as I thought I would, and I've been through it before, but I just want someone famous to go on record and say "It sucked, and it was hard, and taking care of a baby isn't easy", is that too much to ask??!!

  • Make me famous and I'll do it! I'll tell everyone the straight dope, happily.

    Naomi Wolf did this on Oprah a few years back. I wish I had that show on tape.

  • Salma Hayek said something similar on Oprah on Monday!  She said whoever said losing the weight is easy lied, and that she has to work hard at it every single day.
  • Well, they need to put those episodes on On Demand or something!

  • I'm so angry with celebrities and weight loss period!  It's frustrating personally that I try and try and I can never look like a waify (sp?) person like Kelly Ripa, etc.. I don't have the amount of time per day and training that the famous are able to put in.
