Debra Messing: Lost 42 Pounds, Shape Cover
It may have taken her three years, but Debra Messing says she finally lost the 42 pounds she gained while pregnant and while it was tough being picked on by the media, she says she’s glad she lost it the healthy way.
“It was written about in the tabloids a lot,” the actress, 40, says of her post-baby body in the January issue of Shape magazine.
“On one page it showed all the actresses who got skinny in six weeks or less, and on the other page was me! I was so depressed and frustrated.”
Messing tried a trainer but the workouts proved to be too much.
“I was exhausted! I couldn’t work out three hours a day and do my job as a mother and an actress. So I took the pressure off: I cut back on seeing the trainer but started eating healthier.”
“Ultimately I’m very proud of how I dropped the weight because I think it was the healthy approach,” Messing says. “I’ve finally taken ownership of my body.”
