How do people like Jennifer Hudson and Nicole Richie maintain weight loss for decades?

Nicole Richie was never anywhere close to a size 12-14. That is absurd. She was beautiful with a great body when she did The Simple Life. Probably a 6, maybe an 8.

This is not enough to keep celebrities slim.

They are all lifting weights to get toned. Walking does nothing like that for a person.

Embarrassed that I recall this but read long ago that she had bariatric surgery as a very young adult.

I'm not so sure about that. She has said she was heavier in the first season of The Simple Life because she was only a week out of rehab (for heroin). Then she dropped so much weight everyone thought she was anorexic.

Anyone can stay slim if they don’t eat a lot. To get a toned celebrity look, they probably do weight training or Pilates etc. with a trainer.

Simple Life Years she looked atleast a size 12/14 given she is 5’1 - 2003-2007:




Now:



Guessing a size based on :

Nicole Ritchie a size 12? Ha! Please.
She was probably a size 4 at her heaviest. She was known for being anorexic looking.

NP. She looks like she was a size 10-12 in the picture PP posted. And a 0-2 at her smallest.

No way. You clearly haven’t followed her career. She’s extremely petite. 110 probably made her look chubby in the face.

I’m talking about the picture of her on the car eating ice cream. She’s not 110 pounds there

She is not a size 12 in that photo. Maybe a size 6. She is super short and she's sitting next to Paris Hilton who is stick thin.

Ritchie gained and then lost like 20 lbs. And her weight gain was due to recovery from addiction, not a predisposition for being heavier. She's a naturally small person who happened to become TV famous at her very heaviest (which was actually not particularly big but the contrast with Hilton combined with the way she was styled on the show make people remember her as large-- if you'd seen her in person during that time you would not think this).

She probably does eat restrictively now to maintain such a tiny figure (she's never gained back that much weight even though pregnancy) but it's not like she was a size 12 for years and then got down to a size 0. Which, for the record, rarely happens without surgery or other major intervention (to day it would be Ozempic). A size 12 could get down to a size 6 or 8 with diet and exercise and stay there with discipline and permanent lifestyle change. But not a size 0, not just on dirt and exercise.

Nobody in great shape got there or stays there by walking a little each day.

Excuse me? I'm 5' 10" and have weighed about 135-137 all my adult life. Walking 3 to 4 mikes every day may not put you in the greatest shape (I used to work out at Crossfit) but it can sure keep the pounds off.

3-4 miles per day is not "walking a little each day". That's a LOT of walking. To put that in perspective for you, that would take me, someone 5'4", at least three hours.

No it won’t. It takes me 35 minutes to walk 1.75 miles. I do this loop twice a day. That’s a total of 70 minutes of walking.

A four-mile walk should take an hour or a little less. (As exercise all at once, I mean…)

I went from 135 to 265 and back and up, rollercoastering over the years. I also have two family members who gained their weight back post weight loss surgery and I’ve always been curious for those who are able to keep it off in Hollywood, what are they doing differently?

135 to 265 is a medical emergency. That weight gain is seriously not normal for 99% of the human population. And Inhave had 3 children and lost all the pregnancy weight in 2 weeks. Now I'm in menopause and still weigh the same amount as I did in my 20s. So one cannot blame pregnancy and/or menopause for that time of gain.

You’re abnormal. Most people can’t and shouldn’t lose their pg weight in two weeks. Most women do experience some slowing of their metabolism with menopause. It’s odd that you think your personal experience is definitive for everyone.

They maintain like the rest of us do, but they have more time and money so they can afford more help with the effort than we can.

I could have sworn I saw an interview with Nicole Richie where she said at one point she had anorexia and now she eats healthy and exercises, but I think she admitted she also used adderall for a while and also got lipo or something.

I'm sure Oprah considered pretending she got thin most recently with diet, but she was decent enough to share it's Ozempic or one of those.

That PP is bonkers with their slow walking “putting in perspective” comment. I can’t imagine the turtle pace it would take to drag a 3 mile walk out over 3 hours.
