waitress keri russellActress Keri Russell on getting back to shape after giving birth five months ago:

I would love to say I worked out every day. But it’s truly genetics. You have what you have, and then you work hard or you don’t. And I… It was genetics. And I have to say, breast-feeding, you burn so many calories, and I’m still doing it.

Mmm, I’m not so sure, I lost weight easily with the first two, but I had no car and was breast feeding and fairly active, after the third..not quite so easy.
The quote I like best on weight loss,
When journalists asked Stephen Fry how he had achieved his new svelte figure he replied;
“Prepare to be amazed…I ate less!”

Hi Snowy! I think a lot of celebrities have caught on to the “it’s my genes” craze. It excuses them from feeling guilty for being thinner than the average woman or more beautiful. Interesting phenomenon, isn’t it?
