Wilson Phillips-related stories
Carnie Wilson hits 'rock bottom'
Carnie Wilson is known as one-third of the pop group Wilson Phillips. But she is even more well-known for a number -- her weight. At 300 lbs, she famously underwent gastric bypass surgery in 1999--one of the first celebrities to opt for the risky medical procedure--and wowed fans with her new body, only to gain most of it back when she gave birth to daughter Lola. Then she took some off as a participant in Celebrity Fit Club, but that too was short-lived. Now, according to a recent article in OK Magazine, she's weighing in at 208 lbs, is a size 16 and feels she's hit 'rock bottom.'In her own words: "It hurts. I don't want to feel this way anymore. It doesn't feel good when you have to struggle to get your pants on ... I'd like to lose 45 to 50 pounds and then try to get pregnant again."
While I don't endorse gastric bypass surgery as a way to lose weight, I feel for her. Luckily, she seems to have a good attitude--as she says, "I know I will [lose the weight]! I don't consider myself a failure. I just got off track."
