Jessica Simpson is hurt by cruel taunts about her weight.
The Fashion Star mentor has been paid four million dollars by Weight Watchers to lose the weight she put on after giving birth to her first child Maxwell in May and promote their brand and although she has dropped 40lbs in four months, her cruel detractors have hit out at her for not losing the remaining 40 already.
"For years, Jessica has been OK with her body and everyone loved her for that. But now she's not feeling the love and she doesn't like it. She's trying to conceal her hurt feelings with humor right now. She uses jokes and goofiness to hide the fact that she's really sensitive," a source said.
Jessica unveiled her weight loss on TV last week and pals say she worked incredibly hard since giving birth to lose the extra weight. "The past few weeks were really difficult because the pressure was enormous. She knew everyone would be judging her. She was proud of her progress so to face all these cruel taunts now, it stings," the source added to In Touch.

Ricki Lake Doesn’t Want to Be Skinny

Ricki Lake doesn't want to be skinny anymore.
While the TV chat show host has battled with her weight for years, she says getting to 120lbs during her time as a contestant on Dancing With The Stars' didn't make her happy and she is glad she has put back on some of the pounds she shed during training for the celebrity dance contest last year.
"During DWTS I was dancing seven hours a day. Now I'm not. When I was 120 I wasn't healthy. I didn't feel great," she said.
Another reason Ricki is so happy with her body these days is her new husband Christian Evans - whom she married in April - has helped her become more confident. "I went on my honeymoon and got healthy. My husband loves me and tells me I'm beautiful no matter what size I am," she explained.
Ricki, 43, has long battled with her weight, reaching 260lbs when she was 22, and later said childhood abuse contributed to her problems. When she was 24, she shed over 100lbs but admitted it wasn't a healthy weight loss. "That was not healthy. I was starving myself. I was fainting. It worked, it was effective, but it wasn't the healthiest way to do it," she has previously said.
Tyra Banks Was Bullied for Being Skinny
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models,
Tyra Banks was bullied at school because she was so thin.
The supermodel says she grew three inches and lost 30lbs in the space of three months when she was 11, which left her a target for bullies. The 38-year-old beauty said, "When I was 11 years old, I grew three inches and lost 30 pounds in three months. So I went from being a mean bully, cute little chubby little girl to shooting up, [weighing] 98 pounds and just looking sick and frail. I wasn't sick, but people thought there was something wrong with me. I was the brunt of every joke, every bad thing. I hated my reflection in the mirror. I would try to stuff food down my throat to gain weight."
And although Tyra has enjoyed a successful modeling career, she admits she still has some insecurities. "Even though I later gained weight and became a supermodel, that girl always lived inside of me and I know what that felt like. I start projecting images that I know make my 11-year-old self insecure," she told The Huffington Post Live.

Sharon Osbourne has gone on the Atkins diet.
The outspoken redhead has decided to follow the low-carbohydrate eating plan - invented by Robert Atkins - in a bid to shift her excess pounds before she hits 60 on October 9. Speaking on her TV show The Talk Sharon, said, "I've struggled with my weight for years, and I wanted a diet plan that would ensure I'd look and feel great. After looking at other weight-loss plans, I realized that Atkins is the best plan for me because my body - like many women my age - doesn't process sugar and refined carbs well."
The diet is already working well for Sharon and she has lost over 10 pounds in just two weeks. "In just two weeks, I am already 11 pounds lighter!" she revealed. Sharon's overall goal is to lose 25 lbs and she has praised the diet as effective and healthy and great because it lets you eat "delicious foods."

The 32-year-old singer gave birth to her daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson on May 1 and admitted she gorged on calorific treats during the pregnancy, which lead to her piling on the pounds.
"I let myself indulge in everything I wanted because it was the first time I was ever pregnant, and I wanted to enjoy it. I didn't know [the weight] didn't all come off with the baby," she told USA Today.
Jessica has embarked on an exercise regime, but the curvy star revealed her "boobs are way too big to run at this point." However, Jessica insisted she wants to show people that it's not easy to bounce back after having a baby and is determined to lose weight in a healthy way: "My body is not bouncing back like a supermodel. I'm just your everyday woman who is trying to feel good and be healthy for her daughter, her fiance and herself."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has learned to accept her curvaceous figure, but she still wishes she was thinner and wants to have a supermodel's figure.
"If I could have anyone's body, I'd love to be a supermodel. I'd love to be skinny for the day. It's a process. You have to learn to accept it. You have to learn to like what you see in the mirror, but there are definitely times when I don't. I'm built a certain way and you just can't change that."
The 31-year-old star - who is in a relationship with Kanye West - is "not always confident" about showing off her body, and despite working out at the gym on a regular basis, she has particular hang-ups about her thighs.
"In Hollywood, people are used to stick-skinny women, and that's never going to be me. Growing up, I'd look at those skinny models and feel like I looked different. I'm not always confident. I have hang-ups like everyone else - I've never been a big fan of my thighs. I work hard at the gym to look like this. It's not easy and I have to work at it every day of the year, and watch what I eat."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models,
"I work out a lot and eat healthily. I think that health is wealth and it's important to keep your body in shape, inside and out. I try to exercise every day, even if it's just for 30 minutes. Even running around after my little one-year-old is like a workout in itself, plus I love to walk everywhere," said Miranda, who has a 16-month-old son, Flynn, with husband Orlando Bloom.
Miranda says she enjoys the exercise although admits it can sometimes be hard work: "I enjoy the exercise that I do, so that keeps me motivated. There are times when it's tough, or you don't feel like it but once I get my workout gear on and I'm there I usually find that I can get into it and I enjoy it! I love yoga, I practice Pilates and light weights. They are the exercises that suit me and my body and that I enjoy so I stick to that. I've been doing yoga for over 12 years now - I like the [physical and mental] effect it has on my body."
