Adriana Lima is back in supermodel shape just six months after giving birth to her daughter Valentina -- and it was no trouble at all, she says.
"It wasn't that bad," Lima told UsMagazine.com at Thursday's 3rd Annual Aerospace High Performance Championships in NYC. "It was easy."

Last November, the Victoria's Secret catwalker and husband, NBA star Marko Jaric, welcomed little Valentina, their first child; they had eloped over Valentine's Day 2009.

Lima, 28, works out with trainer Michael Oladjide at the the Aerospace High Performance Center. How many times a week? "Everyday," she said. "Often I come twice in one day! It can be anywhere from one hour to...two hours," doing boxing, jump rope and other high-impact cardio routines.
As for her diet, the Brazilian bombshell stuck to a no-carb, all-protein regime for three weeks. She's back on carbs, but "now I just try to watch what I eat and eat good, nutritious food." But no counting calories, she said.

Lima loves new motherhood, she added. "Every day I discover something about her," she gushed. "Every single day is a pleasure to see her. I'm always rushing home! I never rushed to go back in my life! It's the best."

73this is great!!
Why all the negative comments?!...this beautiful woman just had a baby!!....she looks better than most of you do right now, so please stop all the hurtful words!... I and most of the world think she is one of the most beautiful women on the planet. And she was a nice, fun, down to earth personality too. I wish her the best, can't wait to see her on the catwalk looking like the goddess she is!!
Adriana is using the Law of Attraction! She is affirming to herself that it was easy losing her baby weight, therefore it becomes her reality. No wonder she always stays and looks so beautiful! She also said that she always has pretty days, good for her! Law of Attraction in action again. Keep up the great work Adriana! I actually am doing two hours of cardio everyday thanks to your inspirarion, and I know I will look like you in six months! You look awesome.
who does she think she is!!!??? I read a new interview of her saying it was not easy at all to lose her baby weight and she is not done. what a hypocrite! I understand since she is not very famous her words dont become publicity, but still, get your stories straight you bloated she man!
I hate her face. cant believe some people find bloated chipmunk heads and mangled teeth attractive. where did this worlds taste go? ppl with bad teeth often have horrific breath and gum problems. she needs a dentist and nutritionist asap. she needs more face definition. if its not for her body or eyes she is not that pretty. so overated
The article doesn't say if she's breastfeeding. It would be a shame if she considered it so important to lose the weight that she dieted rather than breast-fed.
Diva, you sound quite jealous :)
Adriana honey, you look terrible! I hate to say this because I am not a hater but you had your baby early, I know personally you did not gain that much yet you look like you need help. Your body is diformed, I mean all you had was your body and your eyes because the rest of your face has always been so ugly. Man I am shocked to see your pictures, you lost your cheek bones and your legs are so gross....WOW
Oh she is cute - and I bet she has no need to worry about her weight. After I had our kids, I tried to exercise and eat whole foods more often. I also drink more water and have found a lot of success with taking Vidazorb chewable probiotics. I never really cared too much though as I love having a mommy body :)
To J.J.- I meant lose not loose. I hate seeing that too. I wouldn't call it a dumb mistake though, perhaps a honest one. Don't let simple mistakes get you all worked up, especially with all the other "annoying" things going on in this world.
Well if we all had personal trainers we'd be back in shape sooner also.
What is the deal here? When did the word "lose" morph into "loose"? Why are so many people on these sites all making the same dumb mistake? Is it just some language fad I don't know about? If it is, it sure is annoying.
Her baby was born early too which would make it easier and faster for her to loose the little amount of weight she gained.
i dont see what is the fuss this lady looks like she needs some sleep,and still she looks shapeless im a baby nurse fro the stars and i know what they do they have a baby nurse and two nannies who have to do everything after the mommy gets a momytuck and they don have them vaginally and they dont eat only soups and vegetales after 2 months they get massages private trainners and all the money in the world. they dont see the babies often because they sleep to much
@Pat: Because they're jealous FAT b!tches who are too lazy to try and do anything to get into shape, so they hate on those who can and do. You should have seen the reaction when Giselle revealed how she lost the weight. Don't hate, ladies, imitate. Put the junk down and eat a salad and go for a walk; get up from the computer and get your a$$es back in shape and stope the hate!
Hey that's pretty cool, simple, no fuss no muss. But I must note that you don't necessarily need a trainer to get into shape. Just get moving asap at least 30minutes every single day(walking and weights), eat right and drink lots of water and the weight will come off.
She's so so!
Her cheekbones used to be more defined. She has no waist. Her legs are shapeless. She looks skinny fat. Fail!
why do you people act bitter towards models who lose baby weight? they are not bragging about it. They are asked for interviews (unlike your average unfamous A***)so get off your high horses and quit acting jealous. Adriana has to get into shape for her job. what is the problem? a model can lose many jobs if she is not thin. She looks like she may not be done losing but good for her. she is a sweet woman and doesnt deserve this hate. no model does. (and whoever said heidi was the only one they can stand) I have heard horror stories about her so...the brazilians are much nicer than the germans, Ill leave it at that.
never got the appeal of her. her face is hit. her bod is all kinds of mis-proportioned here. big quaterback up top and little unshaply stick legs. besides all that though, dont hate on women who can lose the baby weight quick. quit whining and complaining that yours doesnt come off. I only gained 25 lbs and it came off in no time. I was back into my size 4s in no time. get off the couch, go walk (you dont need a personal trainer) and start eating healthy. its not rocket science. although to many cows it seems to be.
