Erika Jayne Lost Weight Without Ozempic—Here’s How She Did It

Here are her fitness tips.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne caused a stir when she debuted a new, smaller physique last year—but how did she do it? The reality star was accused of taking weight loss drug du jour Ozempic, something she strenuously denies. Jayne, like her RHOBH castmate Kyle Richards, credits clean living with her weight loss, plus hormonal medication for menopause. Here’s what else Jayne did to lose weight, and keep it off.

1. Dancing Workouts


Jayne’s performances—and the rehearsals required—really helped her burn fat. "I've always been tiny,” she told BravoTV.com. “I got bigger through all of my depression and through everything else. There's nothing like dancing and putting on a show and a little bit of stress to get you right back into shape. It has been so much fun to get back on stage. It's so great to be in front of people, to feel that energy and I’m just happy like to perform again. My last, like, real run of shows was Broadway, but until then, I hadn’t really had anything to sink my teeth into."

2. Healthy Diet

Jayne enjoys a healthy diet and admits she doesn’t always stick to her fitness regimen. "I've grown up disciplined all my life as a dancer, so I know how to eat and work out. Do I do it? No!" she told E! News. "The reason for that is it's hard to manage the time. The busier you get… I used to be in the gym at 6 [a.m.], do I want to be in there at 5? It's hard. My breakfast is egg whites, avocado and grilled tomatoes. Lunch is usually some type of chicken and then for dinner… I like to eat. I'll eat pasta even though I'm not supposed to."

3. Dermatologist Visits

Jayne uses a bust cream and makes regular visits with a dermatologist. “I don't know why American women don't use it more,” she told Glamour. “European women love it. You wanna wear something low and plunging, you don’t need creepy, dried-out décolleté… I can’t stress this enough: Make sure your dermatologist really checks all your moles and skin tags and things like that. Who doesn’t love a little micro-needling and a good ol’ laser, but I think really looking out for skin cancer is important first. And I mean all over your body—on your scalp, in between your toes, everywhere.”

4. Menopause, Not Ozempic

Jayne insists she did not lose weight from taking Ozempic. “Here's what. Let me just start off by saying, you know, I want to make sure that I don't trigger anybody because we have this conversation in Beverly Hills and we have a cast member with an eating disorder,” she told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live (referencing castmate Crystal Kung Minkoff). “I did come down in weight. I did it hormonally. I was going through menopause. So, I took it all down. I went to the doctor and I said get it off.”

5. Personal Trainer Sessions

Jayne works out with a personal trainer to stay focused and accountable. “I hear from people all the time that they need to get in shape before coming to the gym, but it’s exactly the opposite,” Leslie Flynn, Columbia Athletic Club General Manager, tells the Columbia Association. “It’s so invaluable to receive guidance on proper form and how to use equipment properly. Quality is always better than quantity.”

Kashmera Shah is 50 and fit! The Indian actress celebrated the monumental birthday by showing off her fabulous figure in a swimsuit. “A milestone birthday today and my only advice to those who are decades and miles behind me in age as well as spirit… Never Grow Old…Just Age Beautifully,” she wrote. “The less you think of what others think of you the more it will show on your face and body. Love you all my fans and friends. Wait for the next few years for more sinful pictures and even more kickass work in films. And thank u to my husband @krushna30 for always supporting my ambition and always letting me be comfortable with my enviable body ( yes I say it myself as I think we don’t tell ourselves enough how much we love us) Good Luck to the next 50 years.” How does the star manage to look half her age? Read on to see 5 ways Kashmera Shah stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Gained Weight Due to IVF

Kashmera explained to The Times of India that she gained weight when undergoing IVF. “I stopped looking after myself,” she admitted. She started eating “anything and at odd times” and failing to exercise. “The entire focus got shifted,” she continued. She ignored herself until January 2020, when she stepped on the scale and realized she had put on over 26 pounds.

2. She Worked with a Nutritionist

Kashmera revealed that her IVF doctor put her in touch with a nutritionist in early January 2020. “So, I started my diet and workout regime,” she continued. During the lockdown she fell into a depression and started losing even more weight. She even started to eat less in fear that she would run out of food due to supply chain issues.

3. Cooking Helped Her Lose Weight

Kashmera found a new hobby during the pandemic. “I started cooking during the lockdown which I have never done. I started cooking healthy food and Krushna started losing weight because of me,” she said about her husband. “I began eating healthy food, smaller portions and suddenly in October I checked my weight.” She discovered she had lost 24 pounds. “I didn't even realise that I had lost so much weight because I did not step out of the house and wore clothes which I wear at home like shorts, t-shirts. We all were shocked.” She went on to lose over four more pounds.

4. It’s All About Discipline

Kashmera believes her weight loss all boiled down to setting goals and actively achieving them. “I realised that discipline is everything,” she explained.

5. The Buddy System Also Helped Her

Kashmera maintains that her weight loss journey motivated her husband as well. “I told him very clearly to eat whatever you want to eat at night, but during the day you will eat what I give you,” she said. As a result, he lost over 15 pounds.

Carnie Wilson is showing off her weight loss. In a new social media post the former Wilson Phillips singer looks incredibly svelte. “Another before and ‘during’ ... my health journey! This is 40 pounds down. I feel really different,” she captioned the set of photos. How is she getting in shape? Here is everything you need to know about her weight loss journey.


1. She Is Dieting: No Gluten, Sugar, or Butter

“Knowing that I did this PURELY through diet - no gluten or sugar, no butter and keeping fats down too,” Wilson continues. “Lately I have indulged in cheese and nuts which have more fat. If I chose not to eat corn tortillas, nuts and cheese - there's no way I could keep this up.”

2. She Plans on “Exercising More”

Carnie revealed that up until now she hasn’t been working out very much. “I need to start exercising more to make the scale start to move again, but I'm so proud and pumped,” she writes in the caption.

3. It’s a “Miracle

“I have totally adjusted my eating habits to satisfy my cravings but in a realistic way. And it's a miracle,” she continues. “Hope this inspires someone.”

4. Subhead Goes Right Here

In February, Carnie elaborated on why she decided to embark on a weight loss journey. “My body started rejecting gluten and sugar ... and with my blood sugars at a six ... cholesterol at 225 I was not heading in a good direction,”she wrote on Instagram. “I had a pain in my tummy and had an ultrasound to be sure I had no gallstones. Luckily, I did not. I was too scared to give up the food that I thought was bringing me comfort.”

5. Her Weight Loss Journey Is “An Act of Self Love”

“I know there are many ways to lose weight quicker, but it comes down to calories in versus calories expended,” she continued. “For me, this was an act of self love ... knowing which food made me feel like shit and also knowing I can't eat it. The result has been weight loss, more energy, feeling more positive, hopeful, in control and confident. I'm not counting calories or going too cray cray with the scale.”

6. Her Goal Is 155 Pounds

She added that she planned to “reach a physical goal of 155 pounds.” “It's hard sometimes because Lord knows I wanna cram it in my mouth!!! I know how I will feel if I do though — and that's what stops me,” she said. “Thank you for such loving and encouraging words the last five months! It means so much to me!!!!”

Adele is finally opening up about her weight loss. In two new Vogue interviews, timed around the long-awaited release of her album A4, the singer is revealing exactly how she lost a whopping 100-pounds, what motivated her health transformation, and everything she is doing to maintain it. Read on to see 7 of the revelations Adele made about her diet and fitness journey and see the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!


1. It Was Never About Weight Loss

The singer revealed to American Vogue that her drive to exercise was more about her mental health than physical. "It became my time," she said about exercise. "I realized that when I was working out, I didn't have any anxiety. It was never about losing weight. I thought, If I can make my body physically strong, and I can feel that and see that, then maybe one day I can make my emotions and my mind physically strong."

2. She Does Weightlifting and Circuit Training

Adele also revealed that she trains at Heart & Hustle, a no-frills private gym in West Hollywood. Her exercise sessions consist of intensive weightlifting and circuit training sessions. She also spends time on the elliptical machine while at the gym.

3. She Works Out Three Times a Day

Adele works out multiple times a day. “I work out two or three times a day,” she revealed to British Vogue. “So I do my weights in the morning, then I normally hike or I box in the afternoon, and then I go and do my cardio at night. I was basically unemployed when I was doing it. And I do it with trainers.It’s not doable for a lot of people.”

4. Exercise Is Her Addiction

Adele admits that she is obsessed with exercise, telling British Vogue “I needed to get addicted to something to get my mind right. It could have been knitting, but it wasn’t.

5. She Did It For Herself

Adele wants to make it clear that she didn’t lose 100 pounds for anyone but herself. “People are shocked because I didn’t share my ‘journey’. They’re used to people documenting everything on Instagram, and most people in my position would get a big deal with a diet brand. I couldn’t give a flying f**k. I did it for myself and not anyone else. So why would I ever share it? I don’t find it fascinating. It’s my body,” she told British Vogue.

6. ”You Don’t Need to Be Overweight to Be Body Positive”

Adele explains that no matter her size or what people say about her, she has mad self-love. “People have been talking about my body for 12 years. They used to talk about it before I lost weight. But yeah, whatever, I don’t care,” she said. “You don’t need to be overweight to be body positive, you can be any shape or size.”

7. She Doesn’t Diet

“You know a hundred per cent of the stories written about me have been absolutely fake. The people that came out being like, ‘I trained her,’ I’ve never met in my life. It’s disgusting. I cannot get over it. Some Pilates lady I’ve never met in my life!” she told British Vogue. “And I haven’t done any diet,” she adds, confirming that she “ain’t done” the Sirtfood diet, despite it being widely reported. “No intermittent fasting. Nothing. If anything I eat more than I used to because I work out so hard. And also, that whole thing of like, ‘Gets Revenge Body’… Oh my god. Suck my dick!”

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout?
