Reality star Kourtney Kardashian has been a staple of the tabloids over the past year as we watched her belly grow during pregnancy, give birth to a son, and now learn how she’s losing the weight. However, this week Kourtney decided to set the record straight after OK Magazine published an exclusive story that she claimed to have never given and to make matters worse, they photoshopped her cover page image so that she looked slimmer than she actually is. Kourtney told Women’s Wear Daily,

“They doctored and Photoshopped my body to make it look like I have already lost all the weight, which I have not.”

In addition, she took to her Twitter pages to tell her fans that the tabloids were wrong and that it’s not 26 pounds she gained while pregnant but actually 40 pounds. In looking at the photos above taken around the same time, it’s evident that Kourtney was truthful because in the cover tabloid shot of her she has no hips, no arms and no belly to speak of.

Former Playboy bunny Kendra Wilkinson revealed her stellar post-baby workout plan in an exclusive interview with OK magazine. The new mom had to originally take it easy after her December birth as she had a cesarean and was told to give her body time to heal. But now she’s able to do some floor exercises and stretching and the naturally athletic reality star is ready to burn off the almost 50 pounds she gained while pregnant. When asked how often she’ll work out during the week she responded,

“When I get back to L.A. I’m all about hiking, biking, and just going outside and having fun. I’m more of a two-days-per-week gym person. I can’t do more than that. I get really bored.”

She has already lost 20 of the pounds she gained while pregnant and with plenty of walking, hiking and floor exercises she can already see that her booty is getting ‘juicier.’ Her trainer, Jesse Brune told Ok magazine what the two of them do while working out together.

Kendra’s Post-Baby Exercise Plan

Getting Started
Do low-impact cardio such as walking on a treadmill at an incline of 7 and a speed of 2.7 for 45 minutes. Swimming is another alternative.

Upper Body
Do the following three circuits on the pull down machine:
1. Face away from the machine and keep back and abs straight as you pull down behind your head and then return to start position.
2. Face the machine and with a wide grip lean back at an angle and pull bar down to chest. Return to start. (Check with a gym trainer about this one. Some may disagree with Jesse Brune)
3. Face the machine. Reverse your grip so that your palms are facing you and pull bar down to your chest. Return to start.

Legs
Do two sets of 20 of the following four exercises:
1. First-position squats (feet together at the heels, toes turned out, just like a ballerina)
2. Second-position squats (feet shoulder width apart with heels turned in and toes turned out)
3. Traditional squats
4. Traditional lunges

Abs
Lie on your back on an incline and bring knees to chest. Then extend legs out in front of you at a a 45-degree angle. Do two to three sets of 10.

In December 2009 Kourtney Kardashian gave birth to a healthy boy. And now, the 30-year-old is set out to drop the 26 pounds she gained while pregnant and get back to her petite bikini body. Since her sisters Kim and Khloe have recently lost weight she plans to depend on their guidance as well as some help from their mom, Kris Jenner. Sister Khloe said,

“Kourtney is healthy about food.”

Sister Kim added,

“She sees a definite difference in weight loss in us….She is anxious to get on the same plan.”

Celeb Diet Doc…
As I stated in an earlier post, Kourtney should not be taking any of these QuickTrim products (that the Kardashians are now feverishly promoting)  if she is breastfeeding. The green tea extract found in Extreme Burn, for example, can interfere with iron metabolism and cause anemia in a newborn

The Olympic gold medalist beach volleyball player Kerri Walsh, and her husband AVP pro-volleyball player Casey Jennings, welcomed a new addition to their family last month.  Their new son Joey is doing just fine but Kerri told People magazine that she’s ready to get back in shape and she’s fed up with feeling soft.  Intense workouts and a svelte body are second nature to the Olympian so while pregnant she found the weight gain to be difficult.  She said,

“36 lbs. is the official number. I just didn’t want to hit 40 because that would be 200 lbs. but I feel pretty silly now that I see Joey.”

She did however lose the weight rather quickly after Joey’s birth.

“It’s crazy. A lot dropped in the first week,” she says. “Now I just need to build my muscle because I’m skinny soft, which is the worst thing to be.”

She continues,

“I can’t wait to sweat and be outside and play the sport I love so much but right now I’m just proud. I have peace in my heart because of our son. I just can’t wait to show him the world.”

Alison Sweeney, the host of Biggest Loser and also actress on Days of Our Lives has been a strong advocate of the EA Sports Active package by Nintendo Wii. She told People Magazine,

“It’s just a good example of how you can really get it done at home,” she says. “You don’t need to have a big fancy gym membership. One of the things we talk about on The Biggest Loser all the time is just how difficult it is financially to lose weight sometimes. And that isn’t an excuse anymore. There are really reasonable options.”

She also revealed that she learned a lot about health and fitness while on Biggest Loser and it helped her in her post-baby weight loss:

“I’ve learned a lot about nutrition and how to count my calories.”

Sweeney is now a mother of two children and she explained that during her second pregnancy she reached for fresh fruits instead of processed sweets when getting a craving.   However, there’s always exceptions for first-time moms:

“You deserve to be spoiled – but within reason,” she cautioned.

The former Doritos girl Ali Landry took two years off of exercise after giving birth in 2007.  Instead of working out she depended on a home-delivery meal service in order to eat right and drop the post-baby weight.  She said,

“I lost the majority of the [post-baby] weight pretty fast doing that.  But I have to say, it was that skinny fat when you don’t work out, and you’re not toned.”

However, when she was asked to be on the ABC celebrity sports competition The Superstars she decided it was time to tone up. She explained,

“When I got the paperwork for Superstars, and I saw they asked what size swimsuit I wear, I had a hot flash, nearly broke into cold sweats and hired a trainer immediately.”

Now she’s ready for the show which premieres on June 23rd:

“They, I think, put me in the best shape of my entire life. I am in shock that I have [definition] in my stomach after having a baby – I didn’t even know that was possible,” she says. “Hopefully, that will be encouraging to all the women out there who don’t feel so good about their body after a baby.”

It has been five months now since the 36-year-old Law & Order star, Angie Harmon, gave birth to her third daughter, Emery.  From the likes of this photo, she already appears to be back into tip-top shape.  However, she told People Magazine that she hasn’t returned to a hardcore workout since the birth.  She said,

“I’m not going to go get on a treadmill when I’ve got two little girls out in the swimming pool and they want me to swim with them.”

Her other daughters, Finley and Avery are six years old and four years old respectively, and with an infant around the house also, Angie is surely busy.  With three children now she stays active by swimming, biking and hiking with the kids and of course the everyday mom activities help keep her fit.  She explained,

“It’s not like I can walk around with weights,” she says, “so I just carry around one of the girls!”

Regardless of what this sassy brunette is doing, she looks great.

There’s nothing ugly about the Ugly Betty star Rebecca Romijn.  As a formal model and now actress she’s like all the other celebrities who some how have miracle bodies, even after having children.  This month in InStyle Magazine, Romijn was asked how she lost her baby weight after the birth of her now 5-month-old twins, Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip.  As for her post-baby curves she said they make her,

“feel as sexy as I have ever felt.”

During the last month of her pregnancy she was not permitted to move around very much so once the twins were born she had to put her “body back together.”  She did so by working out on the elliptical machine, hiking and doing Pilates.  Five months later, Romijn looks great, but she did say that she is larger than she was before:

“I’m a jeans size up from where I usually am,” she says, “but there’s nothing about it that freaks me out.”

It’s been a year since Jennifer Lopez gave birth to her twins Max and Emme, and recently we have seen a lot more of her on the red carpet and at various galas looking fantastic.  What we don’t know is how she lost her post-baby weight.  She admitted to Entertainment Tonight that she gained 40 pounds while pregnant, but how on earth did she get it off?

“It did take a lot of work,” Lopez, 39, admits. “I thought it was gonna drop off easily because I had been in shape my whole life, but it wasn’t. I gained about 50 pounds with my twins, and the first 30 dropped off like that, and I was like, ‘Ha, this is gonna be so easy.’ That last 20 — that took a while.”

For the time being, that’s all we know about Jennifer’s weight loss.  But we do know she’s working on a new movie called, The Back-Up, and she has been taking the kids to the set and being the best mother she can be.

“I bring the babies to work with me. I love it,” she says. “Honestly, one of the best days of my life was the first day back working on this film — I wanted to do this film really badly — and bringing my babies with me that morning. I was like, ‘Oh my God, they’re with me, I’m making a movie, they’re here!’ It’s great having kids on set. It’s the best.”

It’s been a few months since Jessica Alba revealed her sexy post-baby body and back in March she still wasn’t really telling us how she lost the weight.  All we learned from Elle Magazine was that she wore a tight-fitting girdle.  But now we discovered from People Magazine how she lost the weight.  Her trainer, Ramona Braganza said that Jessica followed the 321 Baby Bulge Be Gone program which is a mix of strength training, cardio intervals and ab work.  Braganza said,

“We focus on burning a certain number of calories. Jess would average 500. And once the weight starts coming off, it’s much more fun!”

Alba did the program four days a week, but just like everyone else she had her good days and bad when it came to putting some muscle behind her workouts.  According to Braganza,

“Just like everyone, some days she enjoys it, other days it’s a chore.”

Alba gave birth to daughter Honor Marie 11 months ago.
