Voted FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World in 2007, Jessica Alba admitted in an interview with Cosmopolitan UK that during her pregnancy she's never felt less sexy and couldn't wait to lose all her baby weight. Jessica gained 25 pounds while pregnant and said she craved all food in general but told Fit Pregnancy that she had a sudden desire for citrus based foods like lemonade and oranges.

How did Jessica Alba manage to look so slim shortly after giving birth to her daughter Honor Marie? "I wore a girdle," the star confessed in a recent issue of Elle. "Eight weeks after my girlfriend had her baby, you could see her six-pack. She told me to put an elastic band around my waist -- any kind of band or girdle works."
The actress did, however, have to hit the gym to shape up to shoot Club Campari's annual calendar. "[The workouts] were horrible," she told the magazine.
It was reported in People that Jessica shed the baby weight on celebrity trainer Ramona Braganza's 321 Baby Bulge Be Gone plan. On it, Jessica opted for a low-fat, low-carb diet and worked out with her trainer six days a week.

During her pregnancy with twins Dolly and Charlie, Rebecca Romijn told Page Six Magazine, "I can't move anymore...I'm a beached whale!" According to her husband, Jerry O'Connell, the supermodel and "Ugly Betty" star reportedly craved "a lot of ice cream."

Just one month after giving birth, Romijn was spotted looking svelte while out and about in Calabasas, Calif. wearing a form-fitting top and yoga pants.

While pregnant with son Bronx, Ashlee Simpson-Wetz took to her blog to make it clear she wasn't worried about putting on a few pregnancy pounds: "Carrying a child is the most inspiring, emotional, amazing experience of my life. My weight and my pants size are the absolute last thing I am concerned about. I am only concerned with having a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby."

In an effort to shed the 30 pounds she gained while pregnant with Bronx, it's been reported that Simpson-Wentz has turned to Jackie Keller's 30-day Body After Baby plan, which incorporates "mommy and me" workouts. Ashlee's also using Keller's meal delivery service, called Nutrifit.

In order to shed the pounds Kate gained prior to delivering daughter Mia, the five-time Oscar nominee relied on the popular British facial analysis diet, which prescribes a meal plan based on an individual's complexion and facial features.

The always-stunning Halle Berry was constantly aglow during her pregnancy. Part of the reason could have been the fitness routine she maintained throughout that included yoga and swimming.

Just six weeks after giving birth to a baby girl, Berry flaunted her voluptuous post-partum figure -- the result of hour-long sessions with celeb trainer trainer Ramona Braganza in which she used the elliptical and stair climbing machines and did kickboxing.

That's great and if you figure it out after the initial 40 pounds she lost 100 pounds in 9 months or about 11 pounds a month. That's about 2.5 pounds a week which isn't at all an unhealthy way to lose weight. Good for her!

Funny, she gets money from the state for disability to her back, yet the psycho can carry 8 babies and then get in shape afterwards. Why is the state not going after her for fraud? Oh that's right, it's California.

Obviously she thinks we are all blind and dumb. Look back at the pictures of her just after having the babies. She was NOT 100+ pounds over weight. Just one more way for her to get her name in print.

100 pounds in 9 months? By going to the gym and doing no cardio? Whatever!!
UFO654 CAROLE 10-28-2009 @ 4:12PM
IT IS SAID THE BIRTH OF 8 BABIES WAS CLOSE TO A MILLION DOLLARS..I WOULD HOPE THAT THE STATE WILL GO AFTER HER AND ATTACH ANY MONEY SHE RECEIVES FOR ANY REASON..AFTER ALL IN MASSACHUSETTS IF YOU WIN A LOTTERY AND IT IS KNOWN AND YOU ARE A WELFARE RECIPIENT..THE STATE SIMPLY ATTACHES IT....IF THIS WOMAN MAKES DOUGH ON THIS BIRTH IT IS MORE THAN DISGUSTING..SHE CAN HIT THE GYM?? SHE HAS A NANNY?? WHO CAN AFFORD THAT?? I AM G AGGING

Never mind the fact she can afford Hollister clothing head to toe but can't pay her own damn hospital bills. And a nanny? Must be nice.

Cut it out. She is using speed and steroids. When are you people gonna wakeup and realize it is not all diet and exercise. You are being played by these people and you don't even realize it. For her to lose 100 pounds at the gym she would have to be there 12 hours a day seven days a week. And how does someone with a boat load of children find that much time to accomplish that. She is using big time.
quadrun250 11-12-2009 @ 4:34PM
of course she had a tummy tuck and whoever did it cant admit it without her consent she is probably getting ready for her new reality show. I promise, you saw her pregnant. SHE HAD SURGERY. and there is nothing california can do about it.

Thank you; please, please, go away already. I cannot stand the media for this reason...they have to make continuous news from trash. Do we care that octomom lost weight?...NO! She should be thankful the state hasn't taken her children, and stop exploiting them at every opportunity!
desertlady 10-28-2009 @ 4:32PM
Yes just go away, enough already
Angellanda 10-28-2009 @ 6:31PM
Yes, she'll soon go away. All she has to do is lose another 125 lbs. :)
Fairey 10-29-2009 @ 12:06AM
THANK you!! I wish the media would just STOP giving any time to these HUGE losers....octomom, Joe the idiot plumber, Levi the idiot Johnson...ANY of those losers that have done anything in their lives to deserve even an ounce of airtime.It's all the freaking media's fault.

She went to the GYM at midnight????? LOL ... Yea Right!!!! I believe she went to see Mr. CRYSTAL-METH at the bars where she partied the weight off while someone else (Nanny) watched her children.

If she says she did not have a tummy tuck all I have to say is what a lying piece of crap she is. I am sick of her.

And why is she wearing a Hollister outfit? Shouldn't she be shopping at Wal-Mart while the state is supporting her and her kids?

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture. She never looked huge after she delivered anyway. Eight newborns and all of the water/fluids, etc. weigh more than forty pounds.
hockeymom26 10-28-2009 @ 3:44PM
I so agree!!!! Its amazing!!! and she even has money to pay for a Nanny and a gym membership!!! I hope to god we are still not supporting this get over trash!!!!
KC 10-28-2009 @ 2:40PM
I cannot believe no one remembers her "surgery" procedure back in the spring of this year for "tumors". I knew it was cosmetic then and that is EXACTLY what it was! She didn;t lose the weight legitimately and she's a waste of space. Let's just let her fade into obscurity where she belongs until they arrest her for fraud from the state for her disability and student loans. Enough already.
