Model Amber Rose showed off her stunning weight loss on Instagram[1] Dec. 14, and said it took her 10 months to lose the baby weight after giving birth to son Sebastian.
The 5-foot-8 Rose revealed she tipped the scales at 202 pounds while pregnant. She gave birth in February 2013, and slimmed down by following a portion-controlled diet, doing yoga, and working out with a trainer 90 minutes a day.
Amber, 30, said celebrities who lose baby weight in record time[2] give false hope to new moms, who often struggle with weight loss.
She also underscored that she lost weight naturally — through diet and exercise — and did not resort to plastic surgery. Rose advised fans via Instagram to not jeopardize their health just for a number on the scale:
I'm almost at my goal weight. Just 7 pounds to go! Absolutely no surgery, just diet & exercise. Most celebs give u false hope when u have a baby ( My son was 9 lbs) and in 3 months ur supposed to be skinny again...
It's not realistic in most cases. It takes 6 weeks to heal before u could even work out. Anyway, the moral of the story is losing baby weight the natural way takes longer but it's much healthier for ur body and helps u stay strong to carry another baby. So don't put ur life at risk for societies standards of when ur suppose to lose ur pregnancy weight. Take ur time & don't take the easy way out."
Amber, who's married to rapper Wiz Khalifa, exercised and followed a healthy diet (she ate everything, just not huge portions) while pregnant, which made it easier to regain her pre-baby body.
"I work out every day," she said. “It’s hard to get off baby weight. It’s a different kind of weight because for nine months you stretch your stomach out, and then it’s hard to get that back."
