Alison Sweeney's Post-Baby Body

Sassy Smith — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:02:00 GMT

Days of Our Lives star and The Biggest Loser host, Alison Sweeney is now a mom of two and she was able to return to work on Days just two weeks after giving birth to Megan Hope! How did the 32-year-old actress get back in shape?

Sweeney's costars were amazed at how great she looked when she returned to the Days set just two weeks after welcoming her second child. How the heck did she do it?

Alison says she was careful not to gain too much weight with her pregnancy.

"Knowing how you're going to have to work to get yourself back into shape afterward, you're a little more careful, so I didn't gain nearly as much weight" with Megan, as she did with son Benjamin.

She adds, "I had morning sickness for more than six months and it was really bad." She said some days "all I could eat was cereal. I went through Cheerios by the box."

Alison says she still has some weight to lose. "I tried to stay active and stay with my workout plan, but having two kids, it's a lot harder to get back in shape because your time is cut even more in pieces. Plus, I'm working two jobs, and I was only working one after Ben."

However, hosting The Biggest Loser helps keep her motivated.

Alison says, "It's a nice reminder every week of what commitment does and how successful you can be when you work at it. And there are no excuses."

How does she stay fit?

Alison likes EA Active fitness program for the Nintendo Wii. She said it's "been the total savior" because she's "able to do it at home, and I don't have to get a babysitter and I can include Ben in it." She tries to work out four or five days a week for about 30 minutes at a time.

"It has a lot of fun, active choices and is a good distraction from the 'chore' of working out. It's been awesome."

Alison credits The Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper for her motivation as well.

"Bob said to me the other day, 'I haven't seen you in spin class lately,' and I said, 'I'm coming, I'm coming.' So there I was on Saturday morning and interestingly, biking next to Vanessa Marcil," who was surprised to see Alison there since "I had just had the baby four or five weeks earlier."

Alison does her best to stay away from tempting treats.

"At Days this morning, one of the crew guys, Jay, brought in these lemon miniature muffins that he made that looked scrumptious. Probably when I was pregnant, I would have had one without even blinking, 'cause I would say my biggest weakness is home-baked goods. I am not tempted by candy bars or anything prepackaged like that, but when someone makes something from scratch, it’s very hard to walk away from. So today, I said 'Nope.'"

Good for her! I've always liked her (I even like the evil 'Sami')!

Alison's son Ben is now 4, and baby Megan is 10 weeks.

Alison Sweeney and Her Megan Hope

Alison Sweeney gave birth to her newest munchkin on January 12 and is already showing her off.

Megan Hope Sanov has a full head of hair and is looking pretty alert already.

Alison said she gave birth looking fantastic because she went to the hospital in full hair and makeup from the set of The Biggest Loser. Of course, she didn't know that she was going to give birth that day, she thought she was going in for a checkup.

Did you put makeup on before you went to the hospital to give birth? I brushed my teeth and showered, but no makeup.

Alison Sweeney on Daughter's Early Arrival

Karl Erikson — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:37:00 GMT

For "Biggest Loser" host Alison Sweeney, the second baby definitely comes quicker. Course, she didn't realize HOW quick until she started going into labor January 12. Alison was actually at work when labor began with daughter Megan Hope, and "had to go right to the hospital after shooting a weigh-in" for Biggest Loser.

When she got to the hospital, the doctor figured things were moving at a slow pace and told her that it'd probably be 4 or 5 a.m. before Megan showed up. So Dave, Alison's husband, decided to go off for a bit to eat with his buddy. "I certainly didn't want them eating in front of me since I wasn't allowed any food, which I didn't know until it was too late."

But her husband leaving was just what the doctor ordered. "He couldn't have been gone 10 minutes," Alison said. "My girlfriend and I were chatting away, and everything happened all at once."

"Next thing I know, my friend is texting Dave - hurry back!! And the doctor is saying ‘Don’t do anything." And once he returned, scrubbed in, it wasn’t more than 15 minutes later she was born. She did not want to be born on the 13th! Which apparently was a bet between Dave and his buddy."

Alison and Dave are also parents to 3-1/2-year-old son Benjamin Edward.

Alison Sweeney- Still Pregnant

trix — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 15:32:00 GMT

Remember that point in your pregnancy, when all you wanted to do was get the baby out, so you could actually get comfortable enough to sleep. Even if it was only two hours of sleep, it would have been the best two hours ever.

Alison Sweeney knows.

She's eating pickles and being angry while waiting for delivery, sounds like a dangerous combination to me. She's not really angry, but has said that she is angrier this pregnancy, than the last one. I totally know what she means.

Alison appeared on the Ellen show last week and faked labor pains as part of the giveaway segment. It was a tease. So all of you that thought it was real, it wasn't.

Did Alison Sweeney go in to labor on the Ellen Degeneres show?

The show came back form commercial break to Alison fidgeting and breathing heavy. Ellen asked if she was okay and if she was serious. Then Ellen jumped up and introduced the next segment of the show and we weren't able t see what happened.

Alison isn't due until the middle of January with her second child. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Congratulations to Kai Hibbard Zwiestra and her husband Jake. They had their first child, Jacob Lawrence, a week ago Saturday. Kai, Biggest Loser season 3 contestant, has already posted pictures of Jacob on her Myspace page. Ugh, more Myspace. Can't these people at least evolve to Facebook?

Kai announced her pregnancy back in April and showed the world an ultrasound pic. She's looking great, don't you think? Another person transformed by The Biggest Loser.

Look at little Jacob in his Halloween outfit! I was going to go as a cow, too, but opted to go instead as a milking machine.

Biggest Loser Pregnancy Cravings

trix — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 13:32:00 GMT

Alison Sweeney is pregnant and having some pretty demanding cravings. The Biggest Loser comes back to prime time TV pretty soon and we will all be able to watch Alison's belly grow. It should be fun to see the changes every week and then somewhere around halfway through the season (January) we'll hear abut her giving birth, and then we'll all be confused.

“Pregnancy cravings for me are when someone says mentions a certain food and I’ll have to have it immediately,” she admits. “Last weekend I was at the Farmer’s Market and a woman next to me ordered four pounds of tomatoes to make homemade gazpacho. I was like: Great, now I have to make gazpacho! So I busted out my BlackBerry, found an online recipe, picked up all the ingredients at the Farmer’s Market, went home and, if I may say, made delicious gazpacho. Those are the kinda cravings I’ve been having.”

That could either been seen as a really good thing or really, really bad. I guess it would depend on where you shopped.

Alison and her husband Dave Sanov are expecting their second child in January. They have one son already and it looks like he's going to have a little sister.

Alison Sweeney-Pregnancy Cravings

Alison Sweeney should be thanking her lucky stars that she was picked to host "The Biggest Loser" before she got pregnant.

The trainers on the show have no doubt been helping her with workout routines, and proper nutrition during her second pregnancy. She stated before, that they were helping her start off on the right foot for a healthy pregnancy.

Some new developments for her pregnancy though will have her heading for the trainers and their help more often.

She has developed a sweet tooth.

She felt that she could only eat Cheerios during the first two months of her pregnancy because of morning sickness. Her appetite has returned and she is trying to keep a good balance of eating for two, nurturing the two of them, not just stuffing her face with food.

Guess Who's Having A Girl?

trix — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:11:00 GMT

With all the celebrities that are pregnant these days it's hard to keep with who has announced what they are having and who is keeping it a surprise. Allison Sweeney has announced that she's having a girl.

Alison revealed to OK! Magazine that she and husband David Sanov are soon going to be the parents of a beautiful baby girl. The couple already have a 3-year-old son, Benjamin.
“We found out that it’s a girl and we’re really excited about that,” said Alison, who is due on Jan. 20. When asked if she and her husband were discussing names, she laughed, “It’s a battle we’re waging. It’s going to be a long time before we figure that out.”
As for the not-so-pleasant effects of being pregnant, Alison admitted, “I have moments of pretty extreme morning sickness, which has not been my friend, but I get through it and I’m happy to hopefully be past it.”
The star, who also still plays the part of Sami Brady on Days of Our Lives, said she’s told her son she’s pregnant and “I’ve shown him pictures of the ultrasound of the baby.”
Alison, who famously has worked through weight issues herself, said she’s still exercising safely during her pregnancy, including taking a spin class with Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper.
Bob and the other Biggest Loser trainer, Jillian Michaels, “have had lots to say about my workouts. They’ve taught me well. They were very cautious and concerned for me — they were very cute. The biggest issues are you have to make sure your heart rate doesn’t spike a lot and your body temperature doesn’t heat up.”

Good for them. Now I guess all we have to do is wait until January to hopefully see the little munchkin.
