RHOA (Real Housewive’s of Atlanta) NeNe Leakes is featured in Ok! Magazine sharing how she lost 10 pounds in two weeks. NeNe has struggled with her weight on the hit show where she’s often seen working out, or rather trying to keep up with friend Lisa Hartwell. While she doesn’t explain why she decided to get fit, NeNe has said in the past she’s big and proud, and that she’d rather eat than starve herself.

At 6′ tall it’s a struggle for NeNe to hold a petite size, she says she’s proud to now fit into a size 10, which is a normal size for someone her height and weight.

NeNe worked with Tammy Stokes to get in shape by cutting back on carbs, alcohol and portions in general. NeNe doesn’t say how often she works out but she likes to hit the treadmill and she’s a runner, not a walker. Her trainer also has her doing strength training with lunges, squats and bicep curls.

The most important thing NeNe has changed about her diet is to eat breakfast, for which her trainer encouraged her to do. She said, “NeNe, you have to bite into something in the morning to get your metabolism going.”

Great tips!

Shakira got into the shape of her life for her She-Wolf video by hitting the gym hard with trainer Tracy Anderson (who also trains Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow). Shakira spent 6 days in the gym when she wasn’t seeing the results she wanted working out on her own. To make her workout fun she does dance aerobics and ab exercises.

Tracy has Shakira do 15 minutes of arm exercises using her own weight – dumbells will bulk her up. Shakira then does 10 minutes of ab exercises, 45 minutes of cardio dance and 20 minutes of leg moves like side-lying scissors.

Tyra Banks has slimmed down and appears on the cover of Ocean Drive this month. In order to get in the best shape, Tyra sweats it out with 30 minute sessions three times a week on the treadmill or elliptical. Although she’s been working hard Tyra admits her weak spot is her stomach.

At 35 years old, Tyra keeps her skin looking fresh and glowing by not smoking or drinking alcohol. But her one vice is Frozen Yogurt, Mmm..

The Hills Stephanie Pratt (Spencer’s sister) seems to have lost a few pounds since last season. Along with eating right and working out, Stephanie makes sure she keeps a healthy snack on her while running errands. She was recently seen sipping Muscle Milk Light, a protein packed supplement drink that’s only 100 calories per serving. Muscle Milk helps curb your appetite and is a great snack in between meals.

Sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian have been on a fitness craze together – the two have lost a total of 35 pounds and here are some of their best tips:

From Kim, “I don’t deprive myself of what I want. Sometimes I feel like a milk shake, I have one.” Kim has used QuickTrim weight-loss supplement to curb her appetite.

Khloe relies on her go-to workout, “Boxing is my favorite. I could do it for hours and just drip sweat. I love knowing I’ve lost a million calories – and also it’s a stress reliever. When I don’t sweat I get irritated, I need to sweat to know that I did something.”

Kim says to stay focus on the goal, “You have to dedicate yourself. You have to motivate yourself. Get a buddy- do anything you have to do.” Kim added that it took her four months to get on schedule with a regular routine.

Tyra Banks has recently lost an astonishing 30 lbs! Tyra and friends decided to make a pact to lose weight – not to look better but to feel better.

To shed the pounds Tyra went on power walks in Manhattan, lowered the amount of carbs she eats and increased veggies and now she is down to a size 2!

Three years ago (below) Tyra was criticized for being fat when spotted in on the beach in an unflattering bathing suit.

Kim Kardashian revealed to People Magazine that she has lost 15 pounds with the help of trainer Gunnar Peterson. Over the years Kim says she’s had issues with her weight, although she’s always been happy with her curves, she was never able to stick with a routine.

When she was able to finally stick to a diet and exercise routine – she just couldn’t lose the extra 5 or 10 pounds she wanted to. Not too long ago Kim weighed 128 pounds at 5′3″, now she weighs in at 113lbs.

Everyday Kim follows a 60 minute routine that begins with a 10 minute warm up of walking, running and jogging on an incline. Next, she does a series of 3-5 upper body, lower body and core exercises including shoulder presses and lunges.

At the end, Kim does nearly 1 hour of cardio and strength training without stopping – go Kim!

For her diet Kim usually has a banana and peanut butter protein smoothie or scrambled egg whites with tomatoes, mushrooms and onions (some spinach in there would be great too!)

Kim sticks to a simple lunch, a light salad.

For dinner Kim eats light and healthy – a large salad with some leave protein – usually grilled chicken or a veggie burger with only half a bun. At the end of the day she treats herself to a small cookie or a yogurt.

I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life. This is who I am and I’m loving it.

Michelle Obama’s personal trainer Cornell McClellan is revealing how he helps Michele get her toned and muscular arms. McClellan has Michelle start out with an intense cardio workout followed by “Arm-shaping-supersets” using free weights and weight machines.

At a cable station Michelle uses a straight bar and does as many tricep pushdowns as she can without resting, which tones her deltoids.

Then she follows with hammer curl using free weights to strengthen her biceps. Michelle completes three sets of each in her workouts.

Sounds easy enough!
