Here's how the reality star has lost weight.

Over the last few months, Blac Chyna has been making big life changes and opting for a more natural appearance by dissolving her facial fillers and having her breast and butt implants removed. She revealed in an Instagram video from her doctor's office that she's ditching her cosmetic procedures so she can "grow." She shared, "As y'all know, I'm changing my life and changing my ways," she said. "So one of the things that I feel like is gonna take me to the next level is obviously taking some of these ... shots out."


But that's not the only major difference. The mother of two has also been putting in a lot of time at the gym and has completely transformed physically. The reality star, whose real name is Angela White, will appear in the second season of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test that's premiering September 25th on Fox, and has been documenting her intense workouts that have prepared her for the harsh challenges and helped her drop weight. Read on.

1. BOSU Ladder Pushes with Hops

Scroll through the 35-year-old's feed and you'll see a lot of workout videos detailing the hard work she's put in. In a recent video, she shares multiple exercises she does and starts off with BOSU ladder pushes with hops.

What the Expert Says: "This exercise involves holding a BOSU (a half-sphere stability trainer) while hopping in and out of a rope ladder on the floor," ACE-certified trainer and nutritionist Mary Sabat MS, RDN, LD explains. "She pushes the BOSU in and out as she hops, which primarily engages her lower body muscles, including quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and glutes. Additionally, it challenges her core muscles for stability as she balances on the BOSU." Sabat says, "The combination of hopping and pushing the BOSU adds a cardiovascular element to the exercise, helping to improve her cardiovascular fitness and overall endurance. It also enhances her balance and coordination due to the instability of the BOSU."

2. Kettlebell Squat to Shoulder Press

blac-chyna-3Blac Chyna/Instagram

Next up, Chyna holds a kettlebell in each hand as she does squats and then a shoulder press.

What the Expert Says: According to Sabat, "This exercise works her quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, deltoids (shoulder muscles), triceps, and core muscles." She says, "By combining a squat with a shoulder press, Blac Chyna is engaging both lower body and upper body muscles, making this exercise efficient for full-body strength development and calorie burning."

3. Walking Lunges with Kettlebells

blac-chyna-1Blac Chyna/Instagram

A third exercise the model does in the video is walking lunges with kettlebells where she holds one in each hand and does lunges dropping her back knee toward the ground.

What the Expert Says: According to Sabat, "This exercise primarily targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves, while also engaging her core muscles for stability." She explains, "Walking lunges are excellent for building lower body strength and muscular endurance. Holding kettlebells adds resistance, increasing the challenge for her leg muscles."

4. Bent Over Rows with Kettlebells

blac-chyna-4Blac Chyna/Instagram

In the same video, Chyna does several moves with kettlebells including bent-over rows where she leans forward and pulls the kettlebells toward her hips.

What the Expert Says: "This exercise targets her upper back muscles, specifically the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and trapezius muscles, along with the biceps and core muscles," Sabat explains. "She adds, "Bent-over rows help improve upper body strength and posture by targeting the muscles responsible for pulling movements. Strengthening these muscles can contribute to a well-rounded physique."

5. Sideways Shuffle

blac-chyna-6Blac Chyna/Instagram

Another move she does is a sideways shuffle, which is a great lower-body workout.

What the Expert Says: To perform this move properly, Sabat says to start with "bent knees, she shuffles rapidly sideways over a short distance while staying low." She says "This exercise focuses on her lower body muscles, including the inner and outer thighs, quadriceps, and hip stabilizers," and has several benefits. "The sidewise shuffle is a dynamic exercise that improves lateral movement and agility. It also engages the muscles responsible for stabilizing the hips, which can be valuable for overall lower body strength and injury prevention."

6. Leg Extensions

blac-chyna-5Blac Chyna/Instagram

In another video, Chyna does three exercises in the gym focusing on strength like left extensions, which target your quadriceps.

What the Expert Says: "Leg extensions primarily target the quadriceps muscles, helping to strengthen and tone the front of the thighs," says Sabat. "This exercise can also help improve knee stability and function. It's commonly used for building leg strength and adding definition to the quads."

7. Crunches with Legs Straight Up

blac-chyna-7Blac Chyna/Instagram

For the second move, Chyna focuses on her abs by doing crunches with her legs straight up in the air.

What the Expert Says: Sabat explains, "This exercise involves lifting the upper body off the floor while keeping the legs straight up in the air. It specifically targets the upper abdominal muscles and engages the core. The extended leg position increases the challenge by requiring greater stability and control. It's effective for building core strength and achieving a more defined midsection."

8. Leg Press with Chest Press Using Free Weights

blac-chyna-8Blac Chyna/Instagram

For the third and final move in the video, Chyna does a leg press, which targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, and a chest press that hits the pectoral muscles, triceps, and anterior deltoids, according to Sabat.

What the Expert Says: "Performing both exercises in a combined manner provides a full-body workout, enhancing both lower-body and upper-body strength," Sabat tells us. "Additionally, the use of free weights for the chest press adds an element of instability, engaging more stabilizing muscles for balance and control."

Kourtney Kardashian is showing off her baby bump in a bathing suit. In one of her latest social media posts, the reality star, who is expecting her fourth child, her first with husband Travis Barker, cradles her growing belly. “Growing you inside of me, my son, is the greatest blessing, honor and joy,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps and a video. Over the years, Kourtney’s view about body, diet, and exercise has shifted dramatically. Here are a few of the things she has said over the years about her body image.


1. She Openly Discussed Body Changes

Over the years, Kourtney has been candid about the changes her body has gone through, especially when it comes to fertility and pregnancy. “So, obviously my body has changed but it was all of the hormones that the doctors put me on,” Kardashian said to her friends during season 2 of The Kardashians in October 2022. “I think eight months of IVF treatment has definitely taken a toll on my body mentally and physically. It has taken a lot to get me to a place of feeling really comfortable and happy with the changes.” She also discussed all the comments from fans and the many times it has been questioned whether or not she is pregnant. “Everyone always comments on every photo that I am pregnant. Obviously, we wish for that but if it’s in God’s plan then it is.”

2. When She Was “Super Skinny” She Wasn’t “Happy”

Kourtney tries to remind the world that being skinny doesn’t make you happy. “When I was super skinny, it is a time when I was super anxious. [It was] not about eating or staying at a certain weight but just in toxic relationships,” she said. “I would always say, ‘If I am super skinny just know I am not happy.'”

3. She Helped Make Intermittent Fasting Mainstram

Kardashian was one of the early celebrity supporters of intermittent fasting. "For me, this meant not eating for 14 to 16 hours after dinner. I wouldn't eat past 7 p.m. at night, and then I would wait to eat breakfast the next day until after my morning workout, which would be around 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m,” she said about the routine she followed.

4. She Also Promoted Keto

“My body never looked better than when I did the keto diet two and half years ago, when I did it for two months,” Kourtney wrote on Poosh in June 2019. “In my experience, I’ve found the best method to train my body to curb sugar cravings, burn fat and kick-start weight loss is by sticking to a keto diet.”

5. She Loves Her “Thicker” Body

Kourtney’s ideal weight has changed over the years. "My weight — I used to go so much by weight — I used to be 95 pounds. Then 105 became my new normal weight. I am 115," she explained. "I am so into my thicker body. I looked up photos of my body when I was so skinny — it is cringey."

  • It’s the media and it’s manipulation of body image and what’s sexy, or who is “fat”
  • You do you girl! what ever makes you feel good gives you the most confidence

3. The Key to Healthy Weight Loss

Los,Angeles,,Ca,-,August,30,,2015:,Britney,Spears,AtShutterstock

“It’s natural for anyone trying to lose weight to want to lose it very quickly. But people who lose weight gradually and steadily (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) are more successful at keeping weight off. Healthy weight loss isn’t just about a ‘diet’ or ‘program.’ It’s about an ongoing lifestyle that includes long-term changes in daily eating and exercise habits,” says the CDC. “Making the decision to lose weight, change your lifestyle, and become healthier is a big step to take. Start simply by making a commitment to yourself. Many people find it helpful to sign a written contract committing to the process. This contract may include things like the amount of weight you want to lose, the date you’d like to lose the weight by, the dietary changes you’ll make to establish healthy eating habits, and a plan for getting regular physical activity.”

4. Take Stock of Where You Are

Britney,Spears,At,The,2016,Billboard,Music,Awards,Held,AtShutterstock

“Consider talking to your health care provider. He or she can evaluate your height, weight, and explore other weight-related risk factors you may have. Ask for a follow-up appointment to monitor changes in your weight or any related health conditions,” says the CDC.

5. Set Realistic Goals

“Set some short-term goals and reward your efforts along the way,” says the CDC. “If your long-term goal is to lose 40 pounds and to control your high blood pressure, some short-term eating and physical activity goals might be to start eating breakfast, taking a 15 minute walk in the evenings, or having a salad or vegetable with supper. Focus on two or three goals at a time. Great, effective goals are —

  • Specific
  • Realistic
  • Forgiving (less than perfect).”

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!!!!”

Chanelle Hayes, the Big Brother star and socialite, has been open about her journey with her body, specifically when it comes to losing weight. She just showed off her impressive weight loss in a recent Instagram post. In the photo, Hayes combined a series of shots of her wearing a bathing suit over the years. In each photo, her body looks different, and she accompanied the post with the words, “Bodies change, it’s normal.” Hayes captioned the post, “Before and after.” Read on to see 5 ways Chanelle Hayes 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 Doesn’t Weigh Herself

While Hayes is living a healthy lifestyle, weight loss is not necessarily her main goal. She tells Closer Online that she doesn’t own a scale or weigh herself when she’s doing different things. She says that this helps her stay focused on being healthy. “I don’t weigh myself now because I’m working out, so I know I’m putting on muscle, which weighs more,” she explains.

2. She Believes In Balance

Hayes is all about living a healthy lifestyle, and that doesn’t include restricting diets and plans. She tells Closer Online that she believes in a balanced diet, and that this mindset has helped her stay healthy. "I’ve done every diet under the sun but, this time, it hasn’t been about following an army regime where I’m starving myself to become skinny overnight. I wanted to have long-lasting results, so it’s been more about changing my mindset towards food and having a balanced way of living – even if that takes longer to initially shift the weight. I’m thrilled with the results. I’m healthy but I’m not missing out on enjoying parties, or stopping myself from having treats when I want to."

3. She’s Consistent With Her Workouts

While Hayes doesn’t believe in restricting herself when it comes to food, she does try to avoid binge eating. She says that one of the ways she does this is by consistently working out. “I’m one of those people who eats everything if they’re not training. When I don’t go to the gym, it’s like a free pass for me to binge,” she says to Closer Online.

4. She Got Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Hayes received gastric surgery in 2020 after gaining weight. She says to The Sun that the procedure has helped her eat better and live a healthier life. “I feel satiated and full after such small amounts now I never feel like I’m missing out because that gnawing hunger of being on a diet isn’t there," she explained.

5. She Got Hair Transplant Surgery

Hayes is open about the procedures that she has had done, including hair transplant surgery. She writes on Instagram that she got this done to help with her self-confidence, and to reduce the stigma on cosmetic surgery. “It’s so taboo for some reason for females to discuss hair loss and so I wanted to be clear, open and transparent about the whole thing,” she wrote. “Would I love to have a long, thick head of shiny hair naturally? Yes, but I don’t. So I am working with what I have. And getting a FUT method hair transplant was the first step to looking feminine, becoming more confident and gaining back some of my lost self esteem that ran away with my hair!”

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.

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.

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

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? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
