Jennie Garth Lost Weight By Dancing
Jennie Garth has a cover story in the current US Weekly about the weight loss and overall body makeover that happened because of her stint on Dancing With The Stars (DWTS). She claims to have gone from a size 29 waist/pant to size 27 and has lost 10 pounds on the scale so far.
I have scanned in the article for you all here, but here are a couple of article highlights:
Q: How much weight have you lost so far?
A: About 10 pounds, but it’s more about the inches and toning. My jeans were a 29 when I started, and I’m wearing a 27 now. It’s great to be able to go to the back of my closet and get the clothes I wore [probably] and know they’re going to fit.Q: Has your diet changed?
A: I eat a lot now. I’m always hungry. And when you’re rehearsing for six h ours, sometimes you forget to eat. I snack on a lot of energy bars while we’re working, or a banana just to keep me going, and then I’ll eat a giant sandwich. I’m just burning through it. Now I can eat and not worry about it. Like, I love a late-night Dorito. The other night, I went into the kitchen at 2am, cracked open a Sprite and in the dark I ate a bag of Doritos.Q: Most noticeable results?
A:I’ve never really been a fan of my legs, and all of a sudden I thought, Hey, my legs look great! They’re more shapely. And since dancing is all about holding your shape using yoru core muscles, my abs came back on their own - without having to do any situps - so that was exciting!

Man. I can’t even IMAGINE rehearsing for 6 hours a day. How grueling!
She looks fantastic..

In the article, she says she wears a size 27 jeans but is a size 6. I don’t really understand that - a size 27 jeans corresponds to a size 4.

Note to Jenny - I’ll be the judge of how ‘great’ your legs look.

I know Britney isn’t the subject of the post, and I know she’s a negligent mother, but I just love how the front says ‘denies her kids trick-or-treating!’ and ’swaps clothes with bartender!’ like these are serious signs of mental illness.

Hope she cleaned her teeth after that midnight snack. Can you imagine the EVIL that would inhabit your mouth the morning after a Sprite-and-bag-of-Doritos middle of the night munch?
You’d smell like a dead hobo.
(Too much? Yeah, I’m like that.)

sizes don’t always correspond perfectly like that. I wear a 27 jeans and I can wear anywhere from a 2-6 pants size.

Eh? A 27″ waist would be a UK 10-12 (US 6-8) She looks like a UK 8 - 10 to me…
And well said Annika on the Britney article - Good God we’d all be locked up if this was the defining criteria for a mental illness! (Not that I’ve ever done either but if I had kids, what’s wrong with denying them? Makes you work harder I say)…

Thanks for posting the article! Good for her, she looks great!

Oh God, Edan. I didn’t even read that part till you mentioned it.
Gross! There is nothing worse than Dorito breath. I don’t know how people eat those things..

I thought for sure Britney in that costume would’ve been a post here. I was wrong!

Doritos are gross. Nice gut, Britney.

As far as pant sizes, what are we measuring, the waist, the hips or inbetween?
By Heather on Nov 15, 2007 | Reply
The jeans/waist size actually has nothing to do with a woman’s acutal waist measurement. Designer jeans (those that typically are sized based on “waist” measurements) sit low on the hips and a Size 27 would probably actually measure 30inches. I wear a size 27-28 but my actual “waist” is just under 26 inches.

Yeah, when you work out a lot, you can definitely EAT! I run something like 2 1/2 hours a day and I eat a lot. And I’m really thin too…exercise will really re-vamp your metabolism.

Oh Jodi- do they make a vegan variety cause the cheese ones stink..?

I don’t know. I actually haven’t had them for years. But I remember them being awesome. This was back when I thought Combos ruled the world, though, so who the hell knows what I’d think NOW.

That whole eating-Doritios-in-the-dark-at-night smacks of eating disordered behavior. Isn’t “stealth eating” a sign of eating issues? Unless she lives alone, and just wanted to, I don’t know, save money on the utility bill??

Looks great!

Jodi, just out of curiostity, do you eat vegan for the animals sake, for your own health, or for a combination of both?
I think it is amazing, by the way. I tried being vegetarian for like three days with my old best friend, but I basically just ate french fries and drank coke, and by the fourth day she told me that she had had steak twice already. So yeah, that didn’t work out.

p.s. I want to be on Dancing with the stars…remember Lisa Rinna? She practically disappeared she lost so much weight! And look at Marie Osmand, sounds like the perfect diet!

I like Doritos. Maybe not an entire bag at two a.m., but I definitely like Doritos.
Seriously, though…brush your teeth after. That’s all I’m saying.

Kiss me Karma…I just ate some Nacho Cheese Doritos!!

I’ve been a Jennie fan since the 90210 days. She looks great regarless! I’m glad she’s found some way to stay in shape without having to do the actual”work out” exercises!!
By Spectra on Nov 16, 2007 | Reply
Right on about the teeth brushing thing though…especially if they happened to be Cool Ranch Doritos. I can smell my husband a mile away when he’s been eating those things.

I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well.
