How Baby Spice Lost the Baby Fat

Woo hoo! Finally! A celebrity who didn't magically shrink back to her pre-baby body moments after giving birth!

Emma Bunton (Baby Spice from the Spice Girls, in case you're pretending you didn't already know that) gave birth to a baby boy 17 months ago, and says it took her a year to get back to her starting weight. "I did it very naturally and slowly," said Bunton, adding, "I went to the gym two or three times a week and ate healthily. I breastfed, so you can't go on stupid strict diets."

She's pleased with how she looks now, and stays in shape by running and walking with her and partner Jade Jones' dogs. However, she's certainly not obsessed -- "It's got to be about balance, though, being healthy and not letting it rule your life. When my friends ask me 'round and say, 'Let's get a pizza,' I would hate to be the only person picking at the pepperoni."

This hot mama certainly has a good attitude about weight-loss, and it sounds like she's been really smart about it. If you want to lose weight the smart way, too, be sure to check out America Takes It Off -- click on the badge below!
