Just weeks after the reality star had her baby, she was back in a bikini. She posed on the cover of OK! magazine and told the mag she'd already dropped much of her baby weight. Ive lost around 25 pounds, but it has nothing to do with the scale, she said. Im going based on how my clothes are fitting and theyve been fitting a whole lot better recently.
The reality star looked great after becoming a mom, but really got toned while dancing on DWTS. "I was a size two or four before 'Dancing With the Stars' and now I'm a size zero. My waist is still shrinking!" she said in an interview. "When you work out, you produce so much lactic acid, so my body always looks thicker and more muscular. Now that I've had a couple of weeks off, my body is fuller and looks better. I hope I'll look like this forever. But to be honest, I will never be satisfied!"
After the show ended, Kendra said she continues to work out with a trainer on a regular basis and makes an effort to eat healthy.

Rochester, N.Y. - For patients of weight loss surgery, the surest path to failure is to rely entirely on the surgery and not on a lifestyle change. One in five weight loss surgery patients never loses a pound. Doctors say that's because they continue to eat poorly without exercising.
Joe LaLonde was determined not to be in that category.
We met Joe one year ago, when he was heading in for weight loss surgery at Highland Hospital. In college, Joe was around 165 pounds. One year ago, at age 56, he had seen his weight top out at 330. The excess pounds were crushing his knees, making exercise nearly impossible.
"I'm trying to get my life back," he told us. "Doctors asked me if I wanted to live, and I said yes. I have to make this work. And who knows; right now I'm a 50-inch waist, and maybe I'll end up with a 29-inch waist, which is the size of my inseam."
When Joe opened the door to greet us one year after surgery, we didn't recognize him at first.
"I can go up and down steps without losing my breath again," he said, smiling.
Joe now weighs 165 pounds, having cut his weight in half and returned to his college size. It's a remarkable success story; Dr. Joe Johnson at Highland Hospital points out that Joe has made progress much more quickly than most. The average weight loss patient can lose 75 percent of their excess weight over two years. Joe needed just one year to lose nearly 100 percent of his excess weight.
"This operation requires you to change your lifestyle," Dr. Johnson explained. "It requires you to use good judgment when it comes to nutrition, and Joe has done all of that. He looks really healthy, and we're extremely proud of him."
For Dr. Johnson, Joe is the perfect example that this surgery can work -- if patients follow their doctors' guidelines. Joe agrees.
"It was a little scary, going through an operation," Joe told us. "It's a major lifestyle change. You either gotta do it or -- why do it?"

Top Company Fitness Connexion Launches Personal Trainer Singapore to Connect Trainers with Men and Women
Singapore (PRWEB) March 01, 2012
It is no secret that personal trainers have long been used by celebrities with proven results. A personal trainer may have years of experience with fitness, weight loss and body building and may even have received a formal education in physical education, athletics, biology or kinetics. Aside from their expertise, personal trainers offer the support and motivation that most people need to stick to their training programs. Without the additional motivation provided by a personal trainer, even the best intentions can quickly dissolve. Through a variety of programs, Personal Trainer Singapore is striving to bring the benefits of a personal trainer to the public. They believe that personal training services should not be restricted to celebrities and that they should be both accessible and affordable.
Personal Trainer Singapore is run by Fitness Connexion, the top provider of personal training services in the country. Since they opened their doors, they have been working with customers to create customized training programs that suit their needs and help them reach their goals. Weight loss programs help clients reach their ideal size, shape, appearance and body mass index. With the help of a personal trainer, clients will start becoming healthier and more confident in only a few workouts. Clients who are more interested in building muscle, increasing endurance and honing athletic prowess, will also find plenty of options with Personal Trainer Singapore. Cardio training, weight and strength training, flexibility training and stretching are valuable components of both a weight loss and a body building workout. Working with a personal trainer, clients receive the instruction and the motivation they need to achieve their fitness goals.
Personal Trainer Singapore helps clients achieve their goals using a number of methods. At the beginning of a session, trainers discuss possible goals and strategies with their client. Short-term and long-term workout routines are built around these goals and the appropriate exercises are introduced and explained. More than simply being a teacher, however, a personal trainer is a motivator. Customers are held accountable to their trainer, are expected to show up at set times and are expected to stick to their goals. While the exercises themselves may be easy to do, most people find that they are far more willing to do them with the encouragement of their personal trainer. "A personal trainer can help to dramatically increase motivation levels" is a phrase often repeated at Personal Trainer Singapore.
ABOUT FITNESS CONNEXION

Weight loss expert Helene Panzarino will be answering your questions and offering top advice on how you can get to your goal weight without stress, fear of failure or DIETING.
Helene, 50, lost EIGHT STONE following the programme she has developed - and she is confident that Sun readers can shed the bulk just as she did.
You can send your questions for Helene by adding a comment at the bottom of the article, or click the button below on Friday at 1.00pm to open the live webchat.
She says: "I had a misdiagnosed thyroid problem and went from a marathon-running size 6 to a size 22 very quickly.
"I ended up 18st and bedridden for most of the day. But then my father died and I took the decision to change my life - and fit back into the clothes I loved."
Helene took up Zumba classes and developed her four-step 'mind and body transformation' programme that helps punters lose weight by getting to the bottom of why they overeat in the first place.
She focuses on why stress or boredom triggers a reach for the biscuit tin - and how there is a form of exercise for everyone, you just have to find the one that's right for you.
Helene adds: "Because I've been obese too, I know all the pitfalls of trying to lose weight ... and that all those cruel-to-be-kind techniques simply don't work.
"I'm not here to bully or to judge. I'm not trying to change people either. I want you to be you ... but healthier and happier."

SYRACUSE -- For the first time since the surgery that changed his life, morning radio host Ted Long is opening up to CBS 5s Michael Benny in a live, extended interview. Long will appear Wednesday evening during CBS 5 at 5:30 to share his story of losing more than one hundred pounds thanks to weight loss surgery.
For years, you have listened and laughed with Long, who is one half of themorning duo Ted & Amyon radiostation 93-Q in Syracuse. In September 2011, Long took what would be the final step in his years long battle with obesity. He had tried dieting, gym memberships and suffered with the lasting symptoms of being far too heavy: sleep apnea and high cholesterol. At this point he has lost 110 pounds and says hes feeling great. "I've never felt better," said Long, adding that he's off his cholesterol and blood pressure medications for the first time in years.
Long had hissurgery at Crouse Hospitaland when he announced his decision to his listeners on the Ted & Amy blog he knew he would take some criticism because gastric bypass is a controversial procedure.
Ted wrote on the blog: I've weighed all the consequences, had several meetings with doctors and folks who've had the surgery and, yes, I realize my life will change and all the dangers there are and blah, blah, blah! I'm ready and this is how I've decided to do it. And not only that, but my wife is having the surgery, as well.
His wife Bobbie has recovered from her surgery as well, and has lost 50 pounds.
Gastric bypasssurgery makes the stomach smaller and causes food to bypass part of the small intestine. Patients who have the procedure feel full more quickly than when their stomach was its original size. Ted Long says he is back to eating regular food, just less of it than ever before.
Have you had weight loss surgery? Would you ever consider it? What questions do you have for Ted? Leave your thoughts below.

What the Diet, Drug Industry Doesnt Want You to Know About Weight Loss
Best Way to Lose Weight is to Flip Your Biological Switch, Expert Says
Obesity has become such an epidemic in the United States, the FDA is considering approving a new prescription weight-loss drug despite safety concerns about it.
It seems the health effects of being overweight override officials concerns about Qnexa, a drug the FDA rejected two years ago.
That shocks weight-loss expert Don Ochs, who says neither diets nor drugs are effective, long-lasting solutions.
When you understand the biology behind burning off fat versus packing it on, the whole notion of starving yourself on a low-calorie diet is absurd, says Ochs, developer of the physician-recommended Mobanu Integrated Weight Loss Solution (www.mobanu.com). And certainly taking a drug that can damage your heart is out of the question.
Heres what people should know about biology and weight loss, Ochs says.
Your body was designed to temporarily store fat because food was not consistently available to our ancestors. They relied on that stored fat to get them through famines, winters and dry seasons. That worked very well until we made huge advances in agriculture and food supplies became abundant and consistently available.
When food is plentiful, your body will quickly burn fat deposits those bulges you want to get rid of for energy. When food is scarce, it burns fat more slowly, to help ensure your survival. Thats why simply eating less is not the best way to lose weight. A low-calorie diet actually tells your body to store fat because food is in short supply.
You can control whether or not your body stores fat for survival or dumps it for an upcoming time of plenty by sending it the right signals. The types of food you eat, and how much you eat of them, send biologically ingrained messages to your body about whether to store fat or burn it just like flipping a switch.

My TOP 3 WEIGHT LOSS Tips
Posted: February 28, 2012 at 11:23 pm
By Lindsay Silberman,
Paula Deen must be seriously cutting back on the donut burgers. The Southern chef, who recently publicized that she has Type 2 diabetes, stepped out looking significantly slimmer at the 2012 South Beach Wine and Food Festival Sunday.
"I've dropped two pant sizes and I feel great!" Deen told People.

But how did she do it? The 65-year-old says she walks 30 minutes a day and cut her portion sizes in half.
But Deen doesn't believe in obsessing over how many pounds she's lost. "We don't own a scale in our house," says Deen. "Every six months I go for a physical and find out. Now it's time to see the doctor. She'll be so happy if I've lost weight."
Paula Deen: I have Type 2 Diabetes
Her son Bobby, whose show Not My Mama's Meals premieres in March, is proud of his mom's weight-loss victory. "Doesn't she look nice?" said the 42-year-old chef. "She has a little more pep in her step now. She'd been guilty of being a little too sedentary -- like a lot of people."
Aside from looking better, it seems that Deen feels better too. "It's amazing how good getting up and moving makes you feel."
What do you think of Deen's new look? See it here!
