But, being in the limelight, they find ways to become moms’ dependable sources of “thinspiration”.

We round up some famous Pinay moms and their different secrets to getting back into shape. Check out our 10 “hot mamas”!

Weight loss after pregnancy: 48 pounds

How she did it: “I breastfed for five and a half weeks, and the rest of the pounds I lost through Marie France. Nakatulong talaga makabalik sa figure. So 110 ako before pregnancy, 112 na ‘ko ngayon, so two pounds na lang! When I was pregnant, talagang kain hanggang gusto ko. Pero ngayon, everything is portioned, hindi ‘yung pag nagutom ako kakain ng marami, tapos ‘di ako kakain for ilang hours. Ngayon, I eat five times a day, pero five small meals. Ganun talaga. Mas hindi ka magugutom, hindi ka mate-tempt mag-binge, kumain ng marami.”
