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

trix — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 17:31:00 GMT

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.

Another Winter Baby On The Way

trix — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 20:03:00 GMT

Jeremy Licht and his wife Kimberly Wallis Licht are having a baby. Kimberly is expecting a girl and is due in February.

Jeremy is a former child star on "The Hogan Family". Did you watch it, I'm so not familiar with him. He did say this about becoming a dad though. "I'm excited about becoming a Dad. I always knew I wanted a child. It just never quite worked out until now." Kimberly said, "We feel very lucky to be at this place in our lives – to have finally found each other and gotten it right, knock on wood, I've had an easy pregnancy, no morning sickness, no crazy cravings. The plan is to try to get the body back as fast as possible and jump back in."

Licht expects his life will change once he's a father, but he says he's ready for the challenge. "Everyone has this subtle laughter, like you don't know what you're getting into. But I'm looking forward to it much more than I'm scared."

I would laugh too, it's not a challenge, but a life changing decision.

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.

Billy Martin of Good Charlotte is ready. His wife Linzi is pregnant and he knows that her late night cravings will be coming soon. He is ready to get them.

Turns out Linzi isn't craving anything.

Says Martin, "I keep telling my wife, 'Can I go get you something weird?'

"I want to eat ice cream at 1 o'clock in the morning. [The other] night she saw a commercial for chocolate chip cookies and I was like, 'Please send me to get them.' But she just said, 'We'll get them tomorrow.'"

Poor Billy Martin is being gipped out of his sympathy weight!

Their baby is due early next year.

Jamie Oliver on Letterman

Whit Honea — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:56:00 GMT

The once naked chef Jamie Oliver was on Letterman the other night and he shared some information on the relatively odd cravings of his pregnant wife Jools.

“Basically she’s an eating machine and I’m feeding her. She’s gone back to retro food — fish paste, all that stuff from her childhood. She’s dipping bananas in Vegemite. She goes to the hardware store and she gets rubber hot water bottles and she chews on them.”

She chewed on hot water bottles in her childhood?

Christie Clark Barnes of "Days of Our Lives" says "that acting job was a piece of cake, compared to motherhood,".

She is so thankful that Hannah is an easygoing baby.

Hannah is "all smiles and giggles at the moment", even though, "her first pearly whites are popping through the skin, and even then [Hannah] is very chill!", Christie wrote on her blog.

She loves being a mommy and says it's very rewarding. Hannah is 6 months old.

Isn't everything easier than acting on a soap?

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.

Minnie Driver Needs a Huge Martini

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 17:05:00 GMT

Minnie Driver is pregnant. She hasn't revealed who the father is. I say it's Steve Bing.

Driver, who is currently starring in The Riches on FX, enthuses about her pregnancy to US magazine, "I feel really good, happy and healthy. It's great just to be able to eat!" she says. "No guilt! No guilt about anything."

She also reveals her pregnancy craving. "Honestly, only olives. That's all I really dream about. I dream about enormous olives." I wonder if in her dreams they're surrounded by big pools of gin and vermouth.

Brad and Angelina Save a Young Fan from Being Trampled

Karen — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 23:03:00 GMT

When Angelina Jolie was honored at the Santa Barbara Film Festival at the Arlington Theatre, she and Brad Pitt weren't expecting to be heroes too. A throng of fans got overzealous and 8 year old Seth Mascareno was squashed against a metal railing.

The boy's mother Adeline explains, "The crush of people was just overwhelming. Angelina and Brad rushed over and she helped pull Seth under the barricade while Brad yelled for the crowd to back up.

"Then Angelina took Seth aside to make sure he was unharmed. When she was sure he was all right, she signed a Tomb Raider photo he was carrying. She stroked Seth's hair and said: 'There, there sweetheart, you're OK now.'"

What a touching moment for the young fan!

According to Stuff.co.nz, Angelina's got some kooky high-calorie cravings that should help her pack on the baby weight!

A source close to Jolie said, “Angelina’s been eating onion rings with mustard and a box of chocolates in the same sitting! She loves these bars that are dark chocolate and cinnamon mixed with Mexican chillies for an added kick.”

“Angelina’s been splurging on cupcakes that Maddox and Zahara have been making. Brad has also been going out of his way to make things easier for Angelina by playing ‘Mr Mum’.

"He’s been cooking, playing with the kids and being a great father.”
