Has Britney Spears Lost Weight?

May 12th, 2008 by Rian | Filed under Britney Spears, Tabloid Magazines.

Unsurprisingly enough, the tabloids are once again claiming that Britney has lost weight:

The question is, has she lost any weight, or is this yet another publicity stunt? Following are some recent photos of her…

Star Magazine claims that Britney has been working out like a fiend to get her new figure - grueling workouts at the gym and lots of dance classes. They also claim that she is on a diet where she only eats half of anything - for instance, half of a cookie, half of a meal, etc. Plus, she now eats breakfast:

Britney is also making healthier food choices, say the insider. “This is the first time in her life that she’s been eating breakfast. She used to wake up at noon, so she just totally skipped it. But now she eats packaged oatmeal with sugar or Special K or Total cereal with nonfat milk. She has a whole cabinet full of cereal and oatmeal.”

Sounds healthy… or does it?

What do you all think? (More photos after the jump).

    she looks bigger to me.

  2. kat | 12/05/08

    she looks the same.

  3. kiwi | 12/05/08

    some people are plain dumb. they think eating half of everything will cut them down in half. okay and cereal or oatmeal with sugar..um not healthy. why dosent she focus on whole foods. like fruit for breakfast…a big salad with beans for lunch and some steamed vegetables with nuts and fish or w/e. and eat as much fruit and veg throught the day. she’d never be hungry and lose weight. refined sugar is never a weightloss answer!

  4. Ro | 12/05/08

    she still looks like a chunky monkey to me. she will NEVER recapture her body from the days of “i’m a slave…”

  5. jade | 12/05/08

    Its hard to tell. I think more than her weight, though, is how good eating steadily probably is for her mental state. Its nice to NOT see her fo a change. I hope she gets better.

  6. Anna | 12/05/08

    I was wondering if someone else noticed. I’ve been hearing alot that Britney has lost sooo much weight. But really she looks about the same to me. A little heavier that pre-baby body, but pretty much the same since the VMA’s, maybe a few pounds lighter.

  7. sarah101 | 12/05/08

    I dont see any difference at all :(
    I dont think she does want to lose weight in the first place.

    I mean, she has an amazing body before so she prolly know how to get fit..

  8. Cecile | 12/05/08

    She should do some thing about her hair..

    I don’t think she’s lost any weight, she just looks healthier (more fit, less fat)

    I really believe in her.. or want to at least..

  9. Cecile | 12/05/08

  10. tann | 12/05/08

    i think britney looks slimmer in the shorts-her legs look toned- where as in the trackies she looks a mess. Didnt she shave her hair off in order for it too look nicer? It looks diseased. Its weird thinking that this was once the innocent girl that we all once looked up to!!

  11. sarahdarnit | 12/05/08

    she looks the same, and of course it sounds healthy, she is eating oatmeal which is healthy, and total cereal wih non fat milk!! thats how i lost 12 pounds last summer. oh and whole grain toast!

  12. Hannah | 12/05/08

    I think she still looks the same. She definitely hasn’t lost 20 lbs, that’s for sure! She’s maybe lost 5.

    I wish she would do something about her god-awful hair.

  13. Cossey | 12/05/08

    Carrying a Wal-Mart bag whilst climbing into a private jet. The only ones I thought I would ever see doing that would be the Waltons!!

  14. Sakura | 12/05/08

    she looks about the same to me. a lot more healthy and happy than before. i dunno if shell be able to reclaim her ’slave’ body but it’d be interesting if she does. i just hope she doesn’t go overboard.

  15. Elle | 12/05/08

    20 pounds my butt! HA, she looks exactly the same as she has for the past year.

  16. Toi | 12/05/08

    She looks good when she’s a bit beefy.

  17. hillary | 12/05/08

    she looks the same, and yeah i think she needs to do something about her hair

  18. ERIKA | 12/05/08

    she looks better!
    go britney!

  19. mel | 12/05/08

    i think she looks the biggest shes ever looked, and i have to say i rarely say that about celebs. working out or not, she looks like a stuffed sausage. she also shouldnt put “sugar” on anything! duh!

  20. Mouse | 12/05/08

    I’m with those who think she just looks a lot healthier regardless of any weightloss. The fact that the change in her body shape or weight is not drastic probably a good thing.

    The whole workout and losing weight press splashed in the tabloids is more for Bally’s who is trying to get some free (?) press out of this anyway.

  21. Amy | 12/05/08

    i think she looks the same size but her legs show she’s toned up

  22. utahaugust | 12/05/08

    Yeah… if you saw britney walking down the beach with her “bikini body” you wouldn’t think anything of it. Not fat, not skinny, just another 20 something who drinks too much.

  23. poops | 12/05/08

    Has this pig lost weight?

    Is that a rhetorical question?

  24. Vajney | 12/05/08

    She is prob 125 lbs. Her weight fluctuates from week to week. She is about the same as the VMAs, but thinner than where she was got out of the hospital or 7-8 months ago. I have been where she is mentally, and she is coming out of a major haze, and she is doing pretty good. I think she could get down to I’m a slave days but it will take her a year. Meanwhile, she should shave her head again and just wear a wig and take some style cues from geri. (i’m sorry brit, i love you but your hair and clothes looks awful =()It will takes TONS of work to slim down to a size 0 again tho.

  25. bSL | 12/05/08

    She looks kinda chubby still. Not fat, just a little extra to love.
    I wish people would just leave her alone. Really.

  26. Jamie | 12/05/08

    it’s nice to see a smile on her face for a change. she looks healthier!

  27. Veronica | 12/05/08

    she looks fat

  28. rockstarron | 12/05/08

    love da booty

  29. Kringle | 12/05/08

    Looks the same. She actually looked a little thinner a while back in that ever so classy midriff baring outfit (it was raining on her shirt, everyone assumed it was koolaid or something :) ).

    I almost get a tic whenever I hear the phrase ‘diet and workout secrets’. Could it be…dieting maybe? And working out?!

  30. Teed | 12/05/08

    she’s still a whale and probably always will be now

  31. FW | 12/05/08

    yeah i didn’t get this either - she looks the same weight as she has since she gave birth to the first baby 2 years ago - in fact she looks heavier overall in the last three months - i’m still not convinced she isn’t pregnant - she goes to the gym everyday and the paps take videos of her doing a really great workout yet she seems to be gaining fat all over and not losing it - good though that she’s fitter and possibly healthier - but thinner = no

    i think eating half is a good idea for her as she was often eating big fast food meals so she is used to eating larger portions than “suggested serving” size

    p.s. scary scary wig she’s got on

  32. Lo | 12/05/08

    she deffinately does not look any thinner to me. i think she’ll get there though

  33. Kat | 12/05/08

    she does still look about the same to me, the funny thing is that I just read an article in a british magazing that she’s lost weight as well, this one claimed she uses a personal trainer everyday and eats 5 small meals a day. This makes me think they’re both just lies as usual (and yeah there was a meal plan that’s just like every other one shown in magazines. Anyone else getting bored of seeing it?
    What ever she’s doing though I’m still not seeing any difference in her weight :/

  34. scottie | 12/05/08

    i have that star mag & i couldn’t believe that they claimed she was 120 pounds…Don’t get me wrong Brit looks great but looking at her in her bathing suit she does not look like 120…Im one inch taller then her (5′6″) and she doesn’t look that much better then me in a bathing suit and i am at 140.

  35. scottie | 12/05/08

    i have that star mag and it says she’s 120 pounds now…She does look good but after seeing the pictures of her in her bathing suit she doesn’t look like 120 pounds. I am only 1 inch taller then her (5′6″) and i think she doesn’t look that different then i do in a bathing suit and im 140.

  36. angelalynn79 | 12/05/08

    i personally don’t care how much she weighs, if she can make her legs look that toned at 140 or 130 or whatever pounds, she needs to rock it.

    the belly is from having 2 c-sections, i think she has scar tissue or something thats keeping her from getting it back.

    i love this girl, i wish everyone would just cut her a break. she isn’t going to get better overnight, but she IS looking healthier every time we see her!!

  37. LV1 | 12/05/08

    No way 120 ibs. I am 5′9″ and weigh 125. I know I don’t look like that. She is to me about the same she has been for the pasy year. She should quit wearing extensions and let her real hair show. It would have to look better that that mess.She should get lipo and tummy tuck like other hollywood moms that can’t lose the weight.(like tori spelling ).

  38. mel | 12/05/08

    Ewww stil fat! That picture on the cover of star is soo old! What idiots. Britney looks like a wreck!

  39. Badá | 12/05/08

    She was better with the shaved hair. Anything is better than that gross wig attached to her head.
    And she doesn’t look thinner or healthier.
    Maybe it’s true, but it has not showed on the outside yet.

  40. Boatie | 12/05/08

    She still has a long way to go.

  41. myreia85 | 12/05/08

    yo creo que esta igual!! I think she’s the same… kisses from spain.

  42. emmy | 12/05/08

    Maybe it’s worth remembering that the girl only recently had a total breakdown. It’s great to see her seeming so much calmer and more balanced. Personally i think she should keep focusing on getting her life together and not worry about getting perfect abs right at the mo.

  43. Amy Q | 12/05/08

    She looks fat to me. She has huge thunder thighs. She looks like trailer trash and I’ve always thought she was never really pretty in the face. I hate that stupid bun thing she does one the top of her head. She always has gross looking hair since the day she became famous. Trash. Since shes had kids her value has gone down tremendously. Next!

  44. Vajney | 12/05/08

    She’s 5′4. She is 120 lbs. The camera adds 15 lbs, especially if your body fat is over 20%. It’s funny, Dawn and Aubrey from Danity Kane are at the same weight britters is at now (look at the wango tango pics) and they aren’t getting crucified like her. Of course someone 5′9″ is going to be skinner. She’s got about 15 lbs to go. I hope she isn’t pregnant…..What bad publicity to be preggers with adnan’s baby, plus it will be a delay to getting her body back…I won’t count her out yet for a year.

  45. p | 12/05/08

    I think she looks a big heavier weight-wise, but it doesn’t really matter. What I like is that she seems to be smiling more often now. I just hope she’s happier and eating healthier foods more regularly rather than occasionally binging on junk. Skinny doesn’t mean you’re healthy, and a bit of extra weight doesn’t mean her lifestyle is unhealthy. It’s good to hear her being more active and eating breakfast. Although I do agree that her food choices of sugary oatmeal and cereal, albeit more healthy than her past diet of Cheetos and soda, aren’t the best choices.

    best of luck to her!

  46. Rian | 12/05/08

    Vajnay, how do you know that she weighs 120? Have you weighed her personally? ;-)

  47. Elaine | 12/05/08

    Fat. I stopped eating Cheetos because of her.

  48. Nikki | 12/05/08

    Her body looks the same, but she seems much happier. I dont really care though, I’ll always love Brit!!!!!!

  49. Megan | 12/05/08

    That picture in that bikini is from last year.

  50. honestasever | 12/05/08

    Still chubbers!! I saw that Star magazine, she’s porky! I don’t see a bikini body, I just see a average/chubby body. There is no way she is 120 lbs either!! Sorry, but duh!

  51. Kat | 12/05/08

    Yeah, there is no way she is 5′5″ and 120 as the article claims. I’m about that height and at 120 you can see a few ribs. Even at my heaviest I never looked that doughy. That is at LEAST 145.

  52. kikka | 12/05/08

    she looks more fit but i dont think she lose much weight

  53. breads | 12/05/08

    ……NEXT…….

  54. Carrie | 12/05/08

    I don´t think she´s lost a single pound but at least that´s a bottle of water in her hand instead of a starbucks cup.

  55. Crazy 88 | 12/05/08

    She looks bigger, may be she is just swollen because of all that excercise. I know I would be.

  56. mia | 12/05/08

    who in this world could just eat half a cookie and discard the rest? not me.
    plus, special k is NOT good for you. starting your day with that refined sugary rubbish is not healthy, no matter what the advertisers tell you. (even though it is damn tasty)

    she actually looks bigger to me. meh.

  57. sweetnsour | 12/05/08

    She would lose about one pound immediately by getting rid of that sh!tteous weave ….

  58. yeahwhazup | 12/05/08

    she may be the biggest retard on the planet but i like her chubby body, no doubt about that

  59. HAHAHAAH | 12/05/08

    OKAY SHE PROBALLY LOOKS BETTER THAN HALF THE FREAKIN PEOPLE ON HERE

  60. missy | 12/05/08

    i’m guessing she probably weighs 140-145 lbs…I think star made a typo…it should say 20 lbs in 30 days and still gaining!!

  61. Spectra | 12/05/08

    I saw some other tabloid with the cover that read: “How I Got My Body Back” with Britney on the cover. Excuse me, but she didn’t get her body back. She’s still about 15 lbs heavier than she was when she was “hot”. I’m her height…I’d guess she weighs 130-135. I give her credit for trying, though.

  62. Erica | 12/05/08

    She looks the same to me. My body’s pretty much the same as hers, I know I’ve said this before, but it really has a great resemblance, unfortunately, and I’m around 145 lbs.

  63. dida | 12/05/08

    she look happy and healthier..It’s shows through her face.. It’s better that perfect body but sad & sick face

  64. Whitney | 12/05/08

    She may have lost two fucking pounds. Not enough to warrant a cover story.

  65. Persephone | 12/05/08

    no she hasn’t lost any weight. She looks like she may have pooped or something.

  66. Kate | 12/05/08

    Alright first I saw some saying it’s the cameras adding weight to Britney…I model, nothing big but from my experience I’m 5′6″ and 100 pounds and I look no more then 105 if that in a picture! I mean sure she’s gotten cuaght at some bad angles but come on, Britney is fat!
    I’m glad you posted this becuase actually me and my friend saw this at the store and were like what the hell? She looks terrible in a bikini! Just as fat! Look at the pictures last year when she was smoking in a bikini next to her baby-she’s just as fat. I’m tired of hearing every three months how she’s getting her life on track and losing weight. Shes not.

  67. lambman | 12/05/08

    she looks better, but she didn’t loose 20 pounds

  68. Alyssa | 13/05/08

    She’ll never get her old body back.
    And she really needs to stop tanning. Orange much, and just think about how bad her skin is gonna look in a couple years.

  69. luci | 13/05/08

    i agree with the fact that she will never get her old im-a-slave body back
    but what?!
    shes got a normal body now!
    she just needs to put her pieces together
    and be a happy mom
    (and if possible hire a stylist)

  70. Kate | 13/05/08

    CHUNKY!!!

  71. Frankie | 13/05/08

    I saw lots of pictures for her working her butt off at the gym

  72. mazarella | 13/05/08

    noooo she still looks fatttttt

  73. size--0 | 13/05/08

    Did not lose 20 lbs.
    Yes she can definitely get her I’m a slave body back if she wanted to.

  74. size--0 | 13/05/08

    When she finally got her DL they weighed her and she was 125lbs (5′4″) just FYI

  75. carina | 13/05/08

    i can’t see the weight loss.. but great for her that she’s working out at least.

  76. pris_72 | 13/05/08

    lol, she looks the same as ever to me. Bigger than her former self.

  77. Amie | 13/05/08

    I agree i doubt shes lost 20lbs, she looks the same to me, but i dont think shes fat at all
    i think shes looks ok, tbh id rather look like her than me right now im like 5′10 and 105lbs i hate being this skinny its ugly as sin

    and also the fact the poor woman has so many problems doesnt help her i think we shud give her a break
    dont ya think

  78. THAT WATER IS CANCEROUS! | 13/05/08

    hey wasnt dasani water (produced by coca-cola) BANNED because it had too much of a certain chemical component which was found to greatly INCREASE the risk of CANCER??? either coca cola has now corrected this and that is a ‘new’ bottle of dasani she is holding, or certain traders have NOT taken it off their shelves!!!! if that is the case, that is some serious sh** people!!!
    as far as brit is ocncerned, she looks normal

  79. ditzy cow | 13/05/08

    Who cares what she looks like. She’s wearing clothes and lookes nearly sane. Lay of the poor girl.

  80. Duvessa | 14/05/08

    Look, I wish this woman well, as she clearly suffers from some sort of mental illness…but she has no discernable talent IMO, she has no self respect and she looks like a slob ALL the time. I would happily not hear of or from Miss Spears ever again.

  81. MelodySoul | 14/05/08

    I saw the bikini pics in that magazine and she looked heavy actually. I don’t think she was ever 20 lbs heavier than that!

  82. Ekaterina | 14/05/08

    If they’re going to steal an old picture for the cover, why didn’t they at least steal a good one? For instance one where she doesn’t look huge.. What a joke.

  83. Dana Lennon | 15/05/08

    she’ll be back at the drive-through in no time.
