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 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- 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.

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.
