Fat Joe, the rapper who’s nickname was representative of his 6-foot-2, 350 lb frame, has recently shed 88 pounds, and apparently without the aid of any weight loss supplement or fad diet.
According to the NYDailyNews, the South Bronx native decided to get serious about weight loss after losing seven friends, all in their 30′s, to heart attacks last year.

Eating clean, organic and good is one thing but eating too much is another. Here is my gift and my curse. It could be healthy and good for you but I really dont care 1000 calories is 1000 calories. Eat smart and becareful out there.
Gift: Great spread for snacks and better alternative than peanut butter.
Curse: Can you really do one scoop? (yes if you need to)
Not when you go to the gym and the girl at the front desk gives you that “you just got here” on your way out look.
Sad day yesterday and I’ll be the first to admit it. It’s time to change things up.
Honestly I’ve been backing off the weights since I play in a Lacrosse league. (that is not me) Talk about a HITT training session for 50 minutes. I never used the word SUB! (short for substitution) so many times.
My fear is if I do legs then I’ll be gimping throughout the game. I have this weird delayed soreness where I dont feel the workout till 2 days later (not sure why)
Either way I think the plan will be AM workouts and pm cardio…uh next week. More importantly I need to write a workout plan for the week that is realistic allowing time to recover and take care of the fam. Going to the gym and coming home at 11pm is not working here.
While still a supermodel, Tyra Banks watched her diet closely since she is supposed to stay slim. But since quitting the modeling world in 2005, she no longer pays attention to what she eats. She admitted that her weight has fluctuated between 148 and 162 pounds since then. She loves food and not afraid to show it!
Tyra, who is the host of America’s Next Top Model and currently a guest-host on morning TV show The View, happily munched on pasta, paella and a selection of desserts. She even talked with her mouth full and allowed spaghetti to hang out of her lips! She finds the dishes delectable and delicious.
Earlier in the show co-host Sherri Shepherd asked Tyra why she and other models always look so mad while modeling in the catwalk. She jokingly added that maybe the reason is that they are hungry.
Tyra, who has often raised awareness of eating disorders in the media, replied.
“I think a lot of models are hungry.”
And she is right! Some models starve themselves in order to stay slim, which is not good.
Lovely boxer Laila Ali just gave birth to her second child a little over a month ago, but she’s still busy as ever; maybe even more so. On top of managing two kids now and a husband, she’s also launching a hair care and skin care line; is president of the Women’s Sports Foundation; and is working with the espnW campaign. In addition to all of that, she’s been tracking her weight loss on facebook.
Becoming president of The Women’s Sports Foundation seems like a natural thing for her to do after her boxing career because it promotes sports, health, and education for women and young girls. She and espnW want women and girls to have a place to turn for inspiration when it comes to getting fit and healthy and then staying that way.
Laila, herself, has about 25-30 more pounds to lose before reaching her own weight goal, but she’s turned it into a way to inspire others by challenging others on facebook to do the same.
“Given the problem we have with obesity in this country,” she explains, “I thought this would be a good opportunity to challenge myself, and to challenge those who want to participate, to get fit now. Losing weight, getting fit and getting healthy does not have to be a New Year’s resolution. The time is now!”

When you see this picture, who comes into your mind? Nicole Richie, is that you? But no, that is not Nicole Richie, mom to Harlow and Sparrow and wife to Joel Madden. That is Disney Star, Raven Symone!
Raven began as a child model before moving into the acting industry. She starred in shows including The Cosby Show and films such as Dr. Doolittle before having her very own show, That’s So Raven in the Disney Channel.
Based on her recent photos, Raven Symone, bears an uncanny resemblance to Nicole Richie. With her steady weight loss, Raven is unrecognizable nowadays. At a recent charity event, 18th Annual Race to Erase MS, the 25-year-old actress showed off her latest body in a leopard-print dress. It is not known how many pounds Raven has lost so far.
Raven once called herself ‘thick and fabulous’. She also insisted that she was more than happy and confident with her curvy figure. But still, she slimmed down.
Recently, Raven admitted that she has been struggling to come to terms with the reactions her new figure attracts. She also began wearing bigger clothes to hide her new figure because she doesn’t like the way people stare at her.
“I thought I looked fabulous before and nobody else did. So, whatever.”

Nicole Polizzi, more popularly known as Snooki, slims down in preparation for Season 4 of her hit MTV reality series, “Jersey Shore” that will be shot in Italy. I hate this chick but she actually looks good here. In season 1, the cast made their smashing debut at the Jersey Shore. In Season 2, they tore up Miami Beach. They returned to Jersey Shore for Season 3. Season 4 will be filmed in Italy (I’m sure the Italians are so excited that the Jersey Shore gang will be fist pumping in their backyard) and will be aired in late 2011.
Snooki was actually born in Chile in 1987 and is not Italian. She was adopted when she was six months old and was raised by Italian-American parents. She grew up and attended school in New York and apparently fit right in with the Guido lifestyle. She revealed that she had an eating disorder when she was in high school and at one point, she only weighed 79 pounds!
But now, Snooki is trying to live a healthier lifestyle. In a series of tweets in her Twitter account, Snooki announced that:
“Water is my new best friend. #dieting.”
“As everyone’s planning their night at the club, I’m wondering when Golds closes. lol. #motivated”
Clearly, Snooki has been dieting and hitting the gym to have a slimmer and fitter body. She also posted a new photo of herself in Twitter with a toner body. The caption reads “Ready for Summaaa!!!”
