Octo-Mom: How I Lost 145 Pounds!

Saturday – October 24, 2009 – 1:21pm

Nine months after giving birth to octuplets, single mom Nadya Suleman is back into her pre-baby jeans after losing a staggering 145 pounds -- without the help of a trainer or plastic surgery.

"I topped 270 pounds while pregnant," the controversial 34-year-old mother of 14 kids -- Elijah, 8; Amerah, 7; Joshua, 6; Aidan, 4; twins Calyssa and Caleb, 3; and 9-month-old octuplets Josiah, Makai, Jeremiah, Nariyah, Jonah, Noah, Maliyah and Isaiah, tells the new issue of Us Weekly.

Check out adorable photos of Nadya with her children.

And though she easily snapped back into a size two after her other pregnancies, getting back into shape after welcoming eight babies wasn't easy. "I was eating everything in sight," she explains.

Instantly erasing 40 pounds after delivering her octuplets, Suleman says she felt compelled to join a local gym after their birth. There, she fits in thrice-weekly midnight workouts (while a nanny watches over her sleeping children) with strength training but no cardio. "I get enough of that with the kids," Suleman, who gets by on three hours of sleep, tells Us.

But don't think workouts alone got the 5-foot-7 mom down to 125 lbs. -- Suleman maintains a strict diet, too.

Five protein-packed meals or snacks a day normally consist of "anything the kids are eating." Food staples in the Suleman household? Oatmeal, sushi, turkey, and even homemade baby food. "As long as it's nutritious, it's good to eat," the busy mom explains.

"Even my Ob-Gyn is astounded at how I've snapped back," says Suleman, who did not seek any surgical help for her weight. "And she knows I haven't had anything done!"

See the day's top celeb news photos.

    Joe just to let you know its not the republicans that want to pay for all the crap...its the worthless democrats with their socialist ideas that want this country to have welfare and support people like octomom. Republicans think that your money is your money and my money is my money and fu*k everyone else that doesn't have any because its not our problem that these other people have no money. You probably shouldn't vote because you do not know how our gov't works.

    IJen, I also agree with you, I had a pregnancy with multiples and lost all the weight but not the excess skin and although she it may all be lies, it really isn't anyones business how she reached the goals, any woman would decorate the truth.

    Agreed Gail! That is what is important!!

    She looks like s***t. And to Zelda: she is NOT in "good heath". She's a nutjob, mentally ill, out of touch with reality, and not living in the real world. I do not understand how people can look at this trainwreck and at the total mess she has created and not think there is something major the matter with this person. Her parents are 90% at fault for the mess that is this woman. This moron has the gall to scream at her mother on TV. Without her mother taking care of her kids while she gave birth to eight more that she cannot even afford to feed, her first six would have gone into foster care, yet she has the gall to scream at her mother on TV for the world to see. She is lying through her teeth about not having plastic surgery. The fact that she is lying about it and expects people to believe her lies and nonsense is very telling as to the state of her mental health.

    WHO CARES ABOUT OCTOMOM
  • October 28, 2009 - 4:11pm Jen Says:

    Again, as stated before, she might have lost the weight but the skin would be hanging over loosely. You cant exercise that much skin back to its original state. Shes had lips and face surgery, maybe her boobs as well, what makes you think she wouldnt get that skin taken off of her??
  • October 28, 2009 - 3:26pm Zelda Says:

    I hope that she continues to be in good health. Afterall, with all those children, she needs to be in the best health possible. Let's encourage her to keep up the good work. And let bygones be bygones. Remember also execrising is a chore for most people and if she can find time to workout great! What do you think is her favorite routine?

    ctyycycydxyt66gyuftder, I dont think you sound dumb at all, the reality is that talking BS on us mag doesn't make anyone on here a political commentator. I bet half of the people on this page didn't even get out and vote for what they believe in. Opinions are like a**ho*** everybody has one. Now some should really evaluate before exposing them.

    Crimefighter and a few others, your not sticking up for your beliefs, your on a gossip sight spewing hate at someone you don't know... bitter anyone???
  • October 28, 2009 - 2:59pm Jen Says:

    She is annoying and represents a lot ot things I find distasteful, but wow she is in great shape! My twin girls are 2 1/2 and I know how hard it was for me to lose the weight. Over the last 2 years I lost 50 pounds by eating less, avoiding processed foods and walking for at least 20 minutes every day. I also allow myself "treats" and never let myself feel deprived. One cookie won't kill you...a box of oreos followed by a pint of ice cream on the other hand is not the best choice! Walking is the best exercise and overall toner. My stomach is tighter, my legs and butt are more toned and I simply feel better. It does not require a gym membership, a trainer or any equipment. I wear smartsole exercise insoles. They are anti cellulite insoles that help you tone muscles, increase circulation and cause you to burn more calories with every step. So you are getting a work out and toning your legs and butt even when just running errands. I read about them in Prevention mag in an article on exercise shoes and they are a fabulous way to get toned for those of us with crazy schedules. They listed the code jm10 to save 10% off

    This is the America that the republicans want us to live, pouring money into buying their marketing propaganda and supporting loosers like 8-mom
