Milla Jovovich How She Lost 62 Lbs!

By Amy Elisa Keith
After Famously Enjoying Eating for Two (Boxes of Donuts! Three Bagels a Day!), Milla Jovovich Gets Her Body Back

She's made a career in such action movies as Resident Evil, but Milla Jovovich "is not someone who embraces exercise," says her trainer Harley Pasternak. Combine that with her ability to down three peanut-butter-and-jelly slathered bagels, and her weight soared to 192 lbs. while pregnant with daughter Ever Gabor, born last November. With only five months to prep for bikini scenes in her next film, A Perfect Getaway, the 5'9" actress signed up for five-day-a-week workouts with Pasternak, who also cooked for her. His 5 Factor books prescribe three meals and two snacks daily, each including five elements: protein, complex carbs, fiber, fat and fluids. (See box for a typical menu.) He also calls for circuit training, focusing on "upper body, lower body, abs and cardio." Crunches tightened her abs—but, says Pasternak, the real credit for getting Jovovich, 32, to her 130-lb. pre-baby weight goes to "bringing structure to her diet after eating whatever." Now, he adds, "She's back to being a hot mom."

* note this is a sample
How She Ate
BREAKFAST: Kashi GoLean cereal with non-fat milk, tea

SNACK: 1 slice fat-free cheese, 1-2 apples, water

LUNCH: Thai chicken lettuce wraps (with a 2.5 oz. skinless breast), Food for Life's no-flour tortilla, water

SNACK: Turkey jerky, steamed veggies, water

DINNER: Steamed salmon, whole grain pilaf, green tea or water

** as noted in the fitness thread I like to make sure people understand that they should always have some protein included with every meal and/or snack

Inspirational Pics from her newest post-baby shoot ~ Hot Mamma!






Her statement during pregnancy :

“I am so huge you guys!” she wrote on her website September 15. “I’ve gained almost 70 pounds in the last 4 months!”

The former model, 31, who is expecting a daughter in November with fiancé, director Paul W. S. Anderson, 42, currently tips the scale at 193 pounds. “It’s a lot of weight to put on quickly and I only have myself to blame,” she recently said in an interview.

For breakfast, she was eating three bagels smeared with butter, peanut butter, and jelly; for lunch, a box of Krispy Kreme donuts. Naturally, her doctor was concerned by her weight gain (it is recommended that most women put on 25 to 35 pounds), so Jovovich has cut back on the carbs. “I’m doing chicken and veggies and trying to be the healthiest mother,” she explained.

Still, the extra weight is taking a toll on the formerly agile star. “Honey, my bones seem soft now and my feet are killing me,” she said, adding that her feet have grown three shoe sizes. “I can barely wear flip-flops. And now I have a whole new appreciation for my old body.”




Important read me : Her largest weight loss still required that her body had to adjust for a few more months and she continued to exercise - months later - the most recent pix are because she became the Maxim September 2009 Cover Model

You can lose a lot of weight but you also need to give your body time to adjust and the fine tuning should take additional time. Being patient and consistent and setting new goals leads to a refining process.

LOL, maxim photos are more like paintings than reality. Some non-photoshopped inspiration instead?

There Suzu wink.gif Token still from her recent movie hehe. This thread was more to kick certain people into gear that may be sitting on their thumbs when they could achieve their goals. Youuuu don't qualify you already reached your goals a while ago didn't ya!? tongue.gif go be inspirational and show pics of yourself! That would really make an impact!

I could just remove her newest pics but the thread would be less interesting to read wink.gif



One more for Suzu ~ I recommend some entertainment magazines or other sites if you want to see more pics of her on your own time. Enjoy! Though I always thought she had a tomboy streak ~ the maxim pics were great they brought out her feminine side that I didn't know was possible! With that I leave Suzu and others to post more pics if they are so inclined!

On a side note ~ if it is about female inspiration pics only - readers please go to the Female Inspiration pic page.
