DNA Quote: Keri Russell on Postpartum Weight Loss
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted December 7, 2007 in DNA Quotes and Excerpts
Actress 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.

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!”
