Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was told to lose weight by fashion bosses when she first became a model.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was told to lose weight by fashion bosses when she first became a model.

The stunning 24-year-old model and actress has never worried about her weight and was shocked when she was advised to work out if she wanted to succeed in her chosen career.

She said: “I can’t remember a time where I really battled with my body, but I can remember being asked to lose weight and battling with the advice.

“It hurt me. Especially as my baby fat naturally melted away as I got older.

“When I started out, I was definitely heavier. I was quite voluptuous in fact. I had a real baby face and baby fat.

“But I was a baby! I was told I had to get into better shape, but I’m quite stubborn so I didn’t.”

Although Rosie admitted she now loves working out she claims she does so for energy rather than to stay in shape.

She told Britain’s Elle magazine: “I don’t just work out to stay slim, I work out because it takes a lot to be on a plane and be jet-lagged all the time. Same with being on a film set for months.”

Elizabeth Hurley keeps her figure by banning fruit after 4pm

By Andrea Petrou on April 12th, 2011

Elizabeth Hurley refuses to eat raw fruits and vegetables after 4pm.

The 45-year-old actress is famed for her stunning figure and says she maintains it by being quite strict with her diet although often falls “by the wayside”.

She said: “I’ve never been in danger of losing too much weight. I do watch what I eat and try to eat healthily but I frequently fall by the wayside. Right now, I’m drinking protein shakes mid morning and I think they really help. I also don’t eat raw fruits and vegetables after 4pm and follow a low-fat diet with very little dairy.”

Although Elizabeth – who has her own beachwear collection – is slim enough to flaunt her figure in bikinis, she now feels more comfortable wearing swimming costumes.

She told Britain’s Hello! magazine: “I certainly love everything we produce, but we sell a lot to women both younger and older than me. I often wear one pieces now, but they’re really sexy ones, with chains and crystals. I still dread the thought of shooting bikinis and we actually used a fabulous young Brazilian model this time too. Her body is amazing – she’s 20 years younger than me!”

Gallery: Celebrity gym bunnies

By Shiny writer on July 27th, 2010

Ah the gym. If, like me, you’re heading there in a bid to fight off that post-holiday bulge, or just getting into shape for your upcoming holiday, you’ll know that actually motivating yourself to go can be hard.

The early morning promises give way to that extra hour in bed, while that after work session is replaced with a pint or glass of wine.

However, I’ve decided to take some inspiration from those toned celebs who are always snapped going in and out of the gym, annoyingly without a hair out of place and a face that’s clear rather than bright red in a bid to actually get myself onto the cross trainer.

Serial gym goers include Twilight star Ashley Greene, who is often spotted going in or out of hers looking bang on sporty trend in leggings, a crop top and of course stylish trainers, while Hilary Duff opts for baggier trackie bottoms for what seems to be her daily workouts. And it also seems Miley Cyrus has taken a leaf of of Hilary’s sporty fashion book, opting for a similar style.

Across the pond Christine Bleakley also opts for the sporty leggings look, with that ultimate sport outfit accessory, the bottle of water.

Kings Road Sporting Club launches Yummie Tummie shapewear range

By Andrea Petrou on January 5th, 2010

Yummy.jpgIt was only yesterday that we were talking about how good shapewear is for hiding those post Christmas bumps and therefore thought it only fair that we told you about these new pieces from Kings Road Sporting Club.

The Yummie Tummie collection are said to shave 5lbs of your figure through a unique fat squeezing technology and are claimed to get rid of “that muffin top.”

There is a choice of different options including shorts, which can be worn on their own at the gym, a thong, and a range of strappy tops. We particularly like the leopard print one, which gives a nod to this season’s animal print.

If you’re feeling daring we think its perfect teamed up with a pair of jeans or leggings on a night out. Slimming and fashionable, what more could a girl want?
