How Christina Got Her Body Back!
May 28th, 2008 by Rian | Filed under Christina Aguilera, Tabloid Magazines, Celebrity Baby Weight.
The latest issue of US Weekly is chock full of celebrity diet and body advice/gossip. Most notably, however, is the cover story about Christina Aguilera’s miraculous baby weight loss, entitled: Christina Exclusive: How I Got My Body Back!
According to the article, Christina has lost almost all of the 40 pounds she gained during her pregnancy with her son Max and is back in her tiny size 2 or 4 jeans. (She claims to have been a size 1 or 2 before her pregnancy). Her goal was to get back into her extra-small Hysteric Glamour jeans, which now fit, although she notices that her hips are shaped a bit differently now.
Christina also claims to be in an E bra size.
Her secret to losing the baby weight? She does 90-minute rigorous workouts with her trainer five times per week. As for the diet side of things, Christina has simply cut back (not cut out) starches and carbohydrates. For instance, she switched from white to wheat bread.
Q: Tell US about your diet now.
A: I’m not into depriving myself; rather, I limit the bad things that I like. I watch my carbs and starches. It was a huge thing to switch to wheat bread - I love my white bread - but I did it!
What do you all think - is it really THAT simple to lose 40 pounds of baby weight - 90 minutes of exercise each day and cutting back on carbs?
Here are some photos of Christina leaving the Little Door Restaurant in West Hollywood this past weekend. She definitely looks pretty much back to her old body!

No way, it would take much longer if you were simply cutting down on carbs.
She looks good but I wish she’d lose the peroxide look.
first, she looks great
should put a smile on her face though.
She looks so so so hungry!
Why oh why does she wear all that makeup?
one word….beautiful
SHE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO DRESS AND PUT ON A MAKEUP…BUT HER BODY IS GREAT
She looks really great, but the lipstick is gross.
She doesnt look great,and she didnt get her body back.
She has a good 20lbs to go.
I think she should start wearing a lot less make up as well….She looks so fake.
I have always admired Christina’s body, but she wears waaayyyy too much makeup, she always looks like a reluctant drag queen to me.
Drag face, bad dye job. And why do her legs look so hideous? She has the worst shaped legs. There’s nothing she can do about it but she has NO calves and gross fat kneecaps and blubbery thighs. YUCK. HIT A GYM. DO SOME QUAD EXTENSIONS AND SOME CALF PRESSES!
An hour and a half of rigorous workouts five times a week!!! That’s a lot of work. That definitely beyond “just cutting out carbs”.
I was happy to see that she didn’t just try to say she “ate right and breastfed and did a little yoga” - she was at least being frank about it taking a lot of work.
I think she’s looking great. She does tend to go too heavy on the makeup. IMO, I think that the heavy makeup/bleach blonde combo is just her schtick…kind of like how Gwen Stefani goes heavy on her own makeup/hair. It wouldn’t be Christina w/o the clown face and it wouldnt’ be Gwen w/o it either. I wish she’d go a bit more natural though because she’s pretty. Body’s looks rockin’ though.
90 minutes is not just 90 minutes is one HOUR and FOURTY minutes! That is not easy! Really they must be thinking the public is a bunch of brainless idiots! She must have done something else! I mean REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow she looks great. i believe her, why not.
So, she lost forty pounds in four months and her chest is larger than it was pre-pregnancy?
That’s rich.
If she keeps making the scene with her socially challenged husband her spawn will be sending the nannies Mother’s Day cards next year.
Everything about her is so fake.
She doesn’t look natural at all!
I bet she looks really really ugly, without her makeup.
I think it’s definitely possible. Typically when you start a weight loss regimen, you lose a lot your first week. And she really didn’t have that much to lose, especially since it was just pregnancy weight she never had before. She looks good but she did not get her body back, those hips are huge compared to what they were.
She’s also breastfeeding obviously which is like an extra 500 calories a day. Working out, watching what you eat and breastfeeding will make you loose weight.
FIVE 90-minute cardio sessions a week would have anybody dropping the pounds; AND she’s cutting the carbs? Hells yeah, I’d say she could lose it. Quickly.
Not to sound trite, but sometimes I wish we could see some of the commentors- being such a judge on such small things MUST mean that they are PERFECT.
M.M…. it’s 1 hour & THIRY minutes…. JUst FYI.. & 5X a week. That’s a LOT of cardio, no?
*Thirty
Now she needs to get her face back and everything’s in the pink!
Huge hips? Where?
I mean, I like skinny, but an hourglass looks better to me than an ironing board.
Just sayin’.

90 minutes is not just 90 minutes is one HOUR and FOURTY minutes!
Since when is 90 minutes an hour and forty minutes??? Last time I checked, 90 minutes is an hour and 30 minutes. =) In any case, though, that is really a long workout to do 5 days a week. I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t have that kind of time available in my schedule for a workout. I’ll stick to my reasonable diet and 30 minutes of cardio three days a week.
I wish someone would buy Christina one of those magnifying mirrors and shove it in her face, while she’s screaming in horror spray her down with an industrial strength hose and then rob her of all her make-up.
She is so cute……..after the 10 layers of putty, gook, and paint are removed from her face.
THE FAKEST THING SINCE PLASTIC!!! LOOK AT HER FACE. WHAT’S UP WITH THAT? NOT TO MENTION HER HIDEOUS VEINY BOOBS. EWWW
“Is it really that simple…?”
Duh!!
Gee, working out and eating better, I wonder. Frankly, it would be weird if she didn’t lose 10 lbs per month.
Okay, for those saying she has fat thighs or that she needs to lose 20 more pounds…….where??? If those are fat thighs then I must be part blind or something, and 20 more pounds lost will kill her. She is FINE(except for all that hideous make up)!!! My goodness, she has a family now. A husband and a baby. THAT is what matters. Plus, NEVER listen to stories of women losing baby weight. Everyone is different. Losing 40 pounds of baby weight is a lot different that 40 pounds of regular weight. It comes off easier usually. Some women who gain a lot lose a lot right away. You just can’t say that it’s so great cause it’s not.
It is weird that I love that lipstick? Yeah, I guess it is weird. But hey, if I were an internationally famous singer, I’d TOTALLY rock that lipstick too! Good for her!
That sounds normal 10 lbs per month. She probably had a fast metabolism to start with so her just cutting some of the bad carbs out of her diet and her sticking to a strict 90 min gym routine could do it. I lost over 47 lbs in 4 mnths. So I think it’s totally doable. Anyways she looks great!
ummmmmmm
90 minutes number one is an hour and a half….
number two….5 times a week is an entire work week…that is noooo small task…
If anyone on here acutally works out…they know that that is quite a haul….
and the word “rigoruous” was used….I believe you need to reconsider the phrase “is that all it takes” that is definately commitment….
I work out at least 4 times a week..
I either do different sculpting videos..which are 30-40 minutes…or I do cardio videos which are 45 minutes…both of them leave me drenched and exhausted.
I also use the treadmill doing a mountain climb workout or running..for no more than 45 minutes…..
I weigh 128-130 depending on the day and I am 5′8.
I do not deprive myself of carbs or anything else…I just choose healthy…I dont eat white bread either..besides whole grains are excellent for you…
I consider myself in shape….
Sooooo an hour and a half of rigorous workouts 5 times a week is nothing to turn your nose up to…..
You should be careful what you post here..there are a lot of impressionable young ladies “dying” to be thin.
Please ladies……love yourself and take care of yourself…get in shape your body will thank you..but do not deprive it of anything…and dont push it too far.
I am sure Christina has a squad of people around her (doctors included) to make sure she does things the right way….
Giving this kind of info is very dangerous if it falls into unsteady hands….
love yourselves…
take care of yourselves….
xo

She could definitely lose that amount of weight in four months if the workouts are “vigorous.” She’s most likely putting in tons of cardio with a half hour of weight training (if that) every other day. Why does she look so miserable if she just had a kid and is back to her normal size on top of that?
90 minutes 5 days a week? Eating better? Of course she’s can lose 40 lbs in 4 months. The people on The Biggest Loser lose much more then that in the same amount of time so yeah, I buy it.
Isn’t she also breast-feeding? That REALLY helps get your body back! I became THINNER than I ever was due to breast-feeding my son. I also worked out 40 min. a day 3 times a week for the first 5 months. She looks HOT!
breast feeding brings your body back to where it was quicker than anything else you can do.
her body is hot but she seems always so sad…it’s easy slim down with this workout and without carbs…I do this workout 5 times a week and I can eat what I want…
She could totally lose 40 lbs in 4 months by doing that much cardio and watching her diet! It sounds really resonable and healthy to me! She looks good too!
poops- both my mother and my grandmother ended up with enormous knockers after pregnancy. No, they did not get implants. Breasts can often get bigger OR smaller.
This is fabulous, the secret to losing weight is…… WORKING OUT A LOT A CUTTING BACK ON EATING! shocker.
I LOVE her dress on the cover. And I love her lipstick. If anyone can pull of the Barbie look, it’s her.
Sure she can lose 40 lbs in 4 months. If I had that much money to pay a nanny, trainer, chef, etc I’d be that hot, too!
I definitely think it’s possible…90 min. 5 days a week adds up to burning an extra 4500 calories a week. Add that to any kind of “cutting back”…plus breast feeding (500 calories an hour) and you have a lot of weight loss.
As always she looks great!! She can pull off the barbie look,her body looks amasing and I love her hair
I don’t know if 90 minutes of cardio a day and carb cutting can do that! But, she does look pretty good considering…now if she’d only ditch the hair and makeup.
she looks pissed, orange and plastic. nothing new.. don’t care about her body, the problem is not her weight..
It’s easier to lose when your natural weight is low. so i could see her getting rid of it quicker than some.
she looks great! she’s defo got her figure back.
I am completely horrified. What happened with the gorgeous, glamorous lady in Ain’t No Other Man? She looks great from the neck down, but my god she really needs to hire a different make-up artist. All that mascara is washing out her eye colour and makes her look like a zombie.
she looks good. you’re all just HATERS. and you lose weight very quickly after having a baby (according to my mom). i mean, the baby is like 7 or 8 lbs!
she’s trying way too hard, gigantic fake boobs, overloaded makeup and bleached out hair. and she’s naturally beautiful, i dont get her, why christina why!?!
oh yeah………must give her props for losing the weight so quickly though!
for some unknown reason, im strangely drawn to that pink florescent lipstick. other than that, she looks the same tranny mess, now with bigger boobs.
This always drives me crazy….
Ok, so are they saying that she lost 40 pounds AFTER the initial 15 - 18 that is lost just by the baby, placenta, and fluids leaving the body?? So she gained 55 - 60 pounds with her pregnancy? Or are they saying that she has lost 40 TOTAL — meaning that she only had 25 pounds to lose after the baby was born? Actually, they NEVER clarify it and make it sound like these celebrities are super human or something just because they’ve lost ‘all’ the baby weight. It’s never actually as much as they want you to think.
She still has a way to go before she’s back to her old body. I wish she’d stop wearing so much damn make up and dye her hair to a natural color.
I love her make-up. Who says everyone has to wear their make-up the same way. She’s too cute in that outfit!
i was going to say who the hell believes this stuff, but some of you do. when will you see that these celebs all say the same thing ? “i cut down on my white bread.” bullsh*t.
She would have lost 20 pounds if she just washed her face.
I think she looks good, but I do not believe that she is being truthful. True weight loss is not that easy! We all know these celebrities are well known for their quick fixes & plastic surgery. Christina is not innocent either….
She is grotesque. It’s possible, at least it was for me.
I never ever believe celebrities claimed sizes. 2 to 4 my ass. She is at least a size 8. Unless of course there are special celebrity sizes cut very large and available only to those who wish to be deluded about themselves. What a bunch of baloney.
Her head looks like it belongs to a Barbie doll.
You all are forgetting that right after a woman has a baby she looses on average 15 pounds (from the baby, water weight, fluid etc.) …so she lost 25 pounds in 4 months which is totally healthy. She looks beautiful. And her makeup, well, it’s just a security blanket, she’ll grow out of it.
I just must say that i love her voice…and about the body = fantastic!
If she is a size two then I am a size negative 4.
She may be able to SQUEEZE into a size 4 but she looks like a size 6 to me. Frankly I don’t believe her. She does NOT look tiny to me even if she does describe herself that way. I think she doth protest to much. And yes people’s boobs get larger (and saggier) after birth but so does the rest of them unless they work hard. I don’t believe she lost every place except her boobs. Come on Christiana. GET REAL.. . cuz you can fool some of the people some of the time.
I wonder if the magazine states that she lost 40 from peak pregnancy weight, ‘cos that’s easy. Like one previous poster said, after the baby, water, placenta is out, the mom drops about 15-18lbs instantly. For women who gain vry little, they can be back to pre-preggo weight in 1-2 months.
from the neck down looks amazing
She’s got such a pointy little witch face, & that ridiculous makeup isn’t helping.
Except for her make-up, she is looking really good. With a combination of strict diet, breast feeding and having someone kick her arse 90 minutes a day, I’m not surprised she whipped herself back into shape so fast.
90 minutes of serious working out 5 times a week plus breastfeeding would DEFINITELY help you lose 40 lbs. At least she’s being honest…she’s not claiming “Oh, I’ve been too busy to eat” or something stupid like that. If she’s eating carbs with more fiber in them, it’s possible that she’s absorbing fewer calories from her food…fiber does wonders for losing weight. So I believe her, but I think she probably works out more than 90 minutes a day. She just doesn’t want the public to think she’s crazy, a la Madonna.
She’s just now switching to wheat? Where has she been for the last 10 years? Hard to give up white bread! Yeah, I guess, if you are 12. I wonder if she cuts the icky crust off too.
her legs look broken and rather deformed in the last picture - she has that unfortunate leg shape with no calf muscle at all.
okay so weird, but uh she looked a LOT curvier in the pics of her last week? Like, hugehuge difference and she didn’t look like she’d lost 40 pounds either (I mean she looked fine but definitely not as small as in these pics)
Cocottenubs on May 28, 2008- by the sounds of it, you seriously need to “hit” the psych ward…why are you getting so worked up over someones thighs and legs? psych evaluation would be your best bet, i cant imagine how you think about yourself if you are so disgusted by someone one you have never even met or seen in person…sad
Terrible makeup and hair. And she can thank her surgeon for those E boobs.
If you work out 90 mins 5 times a week and cut carbs, you can lose 40lbs in 4 mths.
I think she looks great.
And for those that don’t think your boobs can get that big, you are so wrong. I went from a C to DDD when I had my children.
First off, as many people have said, 90 minutes of vigorous cardio 5x a week is no small task.
Secondly, breastfeeding takes a lot of energy by the body. Besides just being the best food for the baby, it is healthy for the mother and helps her lose the baby weight. As for the E size boobs, your breasts get 2x as big as they are (naturally) during pregnancy, and 3x as big during lactation. Even if she isn’t exclusively breastfeeding her baby anymore - if she is just a little bit, her breasts will be bigger.
And thirdly, if she gained 40 pounds during her pregnancy, then at least 10 came off her with delivery. The baby and placenta are a significant part of the baby weight. In addition, another large part of baby weight is just all the extra fluid you have in your body.
So, exercise + cutting back + breastfeeding + actual delivery = loss of weight, even 40 lbs.
those pregnancy stories are always lame. I had a baby a month before she did and I lost 20 lbs in the hospital. That’s just how it is. She’s young and she breastfeeds, the rest of the weight would likely come off that way.
shes an inspiration.
i think she does more than just cut back on carbs, but she none the less looks fabulous. i was reading this article while doing the eliptical at the gym and was so inspired by her i did an extra 15 minutes haha (:
She looks like a transvestite rodeo clown.
I have seen and met Christina in real life just this April, and anyone who thinks she is fat is CRAZY. She is a very tiny person and she must have very small bones because even with the weight gain she looked normal in real life. I’m 5′8″ and weigh 107 lbs and I would say that Christina is skinny. I guess all of you calling Christina fat must be anorectic and/or have body dysmorphic disorder. I never comment on these stupid blogs and it pissed me off so much to see people saying this woman is fat that I am writing this comment.
nice bow-legs ;P
shes fugly and her husband looks like a rat i think he is related to marc anthony
she’s fugly and her husband looks like a rat i think he is related to marc anthony
love the bowlegs too ;P
seriously, what is with her and the make-up? I have never seen her with “soft” and/or flattering make-up
why is she always take soooo heavy makeup?
it looks cheap and tacky! horrible
These 40 pouds are including her son, so the moment she gave birth atleast 20 pounds where off her. And 20 pounds in 4 months is hard but not impossible. Exercise and healthy diet can make it work in no-time
I liked her more before and during her pregnancy, i would have almost considered her quite the classy dame…however its obvious she has gone back to her old young self. I thought she looked a lot better when she was pregnant! Shes starting to look raggy again.
I love her.She is so beautiful and cute.She’s always been a beautiful woman.She lives healthy.Good for her!!!
Some one has told her the score about bright pink lip stick though havent they ? Where does she even buy it from, who sells it?
sure it is. plus, she’s nursing, it really helps losing your baby weight.
the only thing she doesn’t lose are those heavy tons of make-up.
No, 90 minutes is one hour and THIRTY minutes!
Oh, how I wish she would take one long look in the mirror and realise how ridiculous she looks with her blond hair (that always looks like a wig because she bleached it too often) and her over-the-top make-up. She could easily pass as a blow-up doll!
Wow, she really has lost a lot of weight since her pregnancy!
But I don’t think I wouldn’t call it “easy” to do 90-minute workouts every day. Who has time for that? I don’t.
Of course doing a 90 minute workout five days a week is easy for her. She doesn’t hafta cook, clean, do laundry, run errands, change diapers, or anything else that she doesn’t want to do. Most people work 40 hours + every week, so if you compare that to the 7 1/2 hours she spends working out, anyone could do it.
Very few of you have mentioned anything about the fact that she was pregnant and loosing weight after pregnancy is not the same as gaining 40lbs from being a lazy fat a@#. Her baby probably weighed between 5-10lbs, plus all of the fluids, the placenta, increased blood. So with cutting back on carbs and her 90 minute workouts, it probably was that easy. (Not that 90 minute workouts -6 days a week are easy)
her body is amazing…she used to be cute though…she needs to wash her face
i believe it. 90 mins workout five days a week, breast feeding, dieting. . . that sounds about right. and she’s like only 5′2 or sumtin.
she looks good. fit, pretty. . . fix the makeup sugar and the whole package will be complete.
like her outfit too
seems that only tiny people or tall people can pull it off. durn.
Size E is ridiculous for her body size. If she gained 100 - 150 pounds, I could go maybe along with a Size E. What would happen if she falls down?
I’d rather see her with no makeup.. She looks way too fake and made up all the time.
I LOVE HER SHE LOOKS GREAT,HER BODY LOOKS GOOD,SHE HAS CURVES,I JUST WISH SHE WOULD STOP BLEACHING HER HAIR AND GO TO A NATURAL BLONDE COLOR,SHES A VERY PRETTY GIRL.
she lost 10 lbs a month, big deal, she doesn’t work, al she has been doing is making public appearances at restaurants, so she should have had plenty of time to work out.
Celebrities, models, actresses etc are paid to look this good, they don’t actually work, their going to the gym is their work.
With the entourage of cooks, cleaners, nannies etc, it’s pathetic if they don’t lose weight because they have no excuse except being lazy.
Her worst enemy is also her makeup artist, so cool.
that was my first thought: she looks hungry! Ha– all that pouting! Well, she wants her figure back, so I guess she’d rather go hungry but it’s showing all over her face that she is indeed hungry. Ha. well, I don’t blame her I’d do what I’d have to do to get baby weight off, too! Get a load of those legs in the third photo — yum! I love her leg shape!
why is she drunk almost every night at least nicole stays home
She is NOT a size two.
Not even close.
And bleh her face is so ugly and she makes it worse with all that gross make-up.
You cannot drink that much if you are breastfeeding. The kid probably still gets up at night and early in the morning, for sure she is sleeping in until 11am. As far as her looks, darken the hair, lighten the tan, wash the make-up off.
In these pix she definitely looks back to her former self. On that US mag cover though, I thought she got a nose job or her nose grew. She looks so strange to me there.
She looks much better without all the make up!!
if she was like that before, usually the body will go back to what it was. ESPECIALLY with the mother nursing and exercising for 90 MINUTES a day. must be nice to have a nanny…most mothers don’t have time to sleep, much less work out…

TRANNY-LICIOUS
Sure. She is breastfeeding, which burns a ton of calories. Also the average woman loses about 12 pounds immediately after birth (i.e. baby, placenta, amniotic fluid, etc). In reality she only had to lose 28 pounds, not 40.
And as for the cup size. I speak from experience…lactating boobs get rediculously huge. You can ask anyone that has ever breastfed. The shocker is when you STOP breastfeeding and you’re left with saggy, empty breasts smaller than what you originally had. I am sure that she has enough money to get that fixed though.
When I look at her one thought comes to mind ‘ugly duckling’
(.)
She looks great! Even though she’s not as skinny stick thin as she used to be mefore her pregnancy, she’s definetly in shape! However, I doubt she’s an E bra size?
i do think she wears a little too much makeup, but when has she not? i think the lipstick is kinda cute, cuz how many people can pull that off? she looks great weight wise, not as thin as she was before pregnancy..but not many people are. where is the 20 lbs she has to lose? that is insane to me. she just needs to put a smile on her face. she is prolly hungry.
Size 8? 20 lbs to lose? You people actually really need help, for real.
KATHERINE HEIGL WORE THAT EXACT SAME PINK DRESS ON THE COVER OF COSMO MONTHS AGO!
Yup! It’s totally possible as I lost my 40 lbs with my first baby with even less exercising and without breastfeeding. Only 10 lbs of mine were actually baby and placenta though, not at least the 20 lbs someone else mentioned. It’s a little tougher the 2nd time though, as I’m still working on the last 15 lbs now.
White bread is made of wheat? Either that is some american thing that i don’t understand or she is really stupid? White bread and wheat bread is the same thing?
Anyways, I don’t think that she is back to her pre-baby body, she is however looking a lot thinner. But the make-up…i have no words.
I am a huge fan though, i just wish she would lose the make up.
she looks so unhappy with her diet :p
She looks like she has post partum. It actually IS possible to lose that much if you are breast feeding and working out and eating 1000 calories a day tops. I lost 37 pounds in a bout 7 weeks as opposed to her 4 weeks.
i hate this new set up…the old skinny website was better…I don;t want to be forced to read all of the opinions.
