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.

    You have the give the woman credit where it's due. That is an accomplishment. Even if it was 40% baby-only weight and squeezing in the workouts for a mom is not that easy.

    I don't believe it was without surgery. That's just stupid and lies.

    I was sitting on the toilet when I had my baby...Once it dropped, I had lost all the weight I had gained instantly and had absolutely no stretch marks. In yo face, OCTOMOM.
  • January 22, 2010 - 9:50pm Sam Says:

    Right. No plastic surgery. Where are all of her stretch marks? Where'd she get the gigantic breasts? Where's her sagging skin. And biggest question, why to magazines give such publicity to obviously mentally ill people living under such delusions?

    Smokin' crack also helps with weight loss! And she's definitely a crackhead!
  • January 20, 2010 - 11:09pm ...Gross Says:

    Does anyone else notice the VS bag she's holding next to her kid? Please Octomom. Do yourself and the rest of the universe a favor, stop wearing anything remotely sexy or having sex. No more babies.

  • December 05, 2009 - 4:26pm Jeni Says:

    I like her outfit! Good for her ....although she makes me sick because I had one baby 17 months ago have been excercising and dieting and I am a size 5!!! I was a size 0 pre baby. I guess she has good genes.

    She lied about her other plastic surgery and she is lying about not having anything done after having her octuplets. There is no way possible that her with how stretched out her stomach was could it EVER shrink back to normal, NEVER! Common sense! Think about a balloon that has been stretched out waaaaay beyond normal and then deflate it, It will not look normal; it'll be all wrinkly and soft and loose! Who cares if she did have plastic surgery for anything,but DON'T LIE ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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.

  • October 29, 2009 - 12:47am quadmom Says:

    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.
  • October 29, 2009 - 12:45am quadmom Says:

    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.
