Nadya Suleman now known as Octomom after having given birth to eight children recently has stunned people around the world after posing for a bikini shoot. Octomom who now weighs a healthy 120lb. lost 150lb. in weight and everybody wants to know how! Cynics immediately said that she had had surgery but in fact all she did was just eat healthily and commit herself to a rigorous exercise program. Octomom who is 34 years old and has fourteen children is proof that pregnant women can regain their figures with a bit of effort.

It wasn’t easy for her to lose her birth weight and she needed support to look after her kids while she got busy in the gym. To give you an idea she gets through 700 nappies in a week, about 5gal. of milk and has a team of five nannies to help her in her daily routine. One thing that is needed to lose weight is careful organisation and planning. If you cannot organise your time so that you prioritise exercise and healthy eating above many other things you will find it very hard to lose weight.
Obviously with loads of children running around it becomes very difficult for many mothers to have any time to themselves and thus the gym becomes almost impossible. Many women never get back to normal weight after giving birth and just resign themselves to being overweight for the rest of their life. You must never do this because it is possible to get back to a healthy weight, but like anything else in life is just requires a lot of effort.
Octomom who was interviewed on Good Morning America said that she is planning to write a book about her experiences which should help her to meet the huge cost of looking after all those children.

Octomom is the WORST example someone could use for post-pregnancy weight loss. Multiple plastic surgeons have said she has gotten a tummy tuck and liposuction. She is a terrible role model. She is a perfect example of what NOT to do. She spends three hours a day working out while three nannies look after her kids and this is in addition to plastic surgery. GREAT EXAMPLE YOU PICKED!

Um...I believe you forgot to mention tummytuck.

for you to print such a thing as true is insulting to every hard working mother out there.
If you did any research before printing this you would know when her lips move she is probably lying.
her doc is up on charges for helping her to get pregant over n over with as little as 3 to 4 months since giving birth and not sending her to a mental heath profesional.
The charges also state she and her doctor have stockpiles frozen embyos in limbo.
She is nothing to be admired, belived, or worst yet, shown to be a role model of what can be done.

If you believe that she did it naturally, I have a bridge to offer you...
You don't lose skin by diet, nor stretch marks by hormone creams. Only the plastic surgeon's magic does that for you.
Are You For Serious?! said:
This article is ludicrous. She is a documented chronic LIAR. That you would so wholeheartedly endorse her preposterous claims is an insult to common sense. You get paid for this?!
So many experts have weighed in on this story and they ALL agree she is LYING. This is the dumbest article I think I've ever read.
some folks are stuck on stoopid said:
You really have the gall to print this, the woman clearly had surgery on her stomach, look at her coin slot for the belly button. How can you sit there and make some new young mother who is struggling think that if Nadya can do it so can you. Every plastic surgeon except one, has said her stomach could not have gone back like that. And I suspect the one was Nadya's doctor, he said her belly button was perfect. Its a damn coin slot. I think you have done a real disservice to your readers by continuing to let that woman spew her lies.
check your facts said:
You must be kidding! Doctors here in the U.S. are 9 to 1 that she's had a LOT of surgery! It's even documented that she had breast augmentation when she was 18 yrs. old (see Worker Comp papers). One plastic surgeon even speculated that she had the lap band surgery to lose the weight. Also, she's going to write a book? She can't even write a grocery list!

A lot of effort and three full time nannies to babysit and change those nappies.
This article is BS.

Jane ...Have you just returned from an extentended sojourn in..Siberia....or are you on drugs..?.Failing that, your journalistic skills are piss poor..or do you really care..???. If you don't know what you are talking about, the best course is to shut up...or else present yourself as an imbecile.as you have done...........perhaps you don't research.......but a large per centage of the public does...and have done........shame really isn't it when the public is more au courant than the journalist..... If you are bing paid for this...you are not worth the money...I have more factual info than you.....and I am just regular working stiff ..albeit not as dense as yourself..but really....the facts must not matter to you, I imagine.....you care about hits and money......not the truth...........You are not very successful are you.........

Here in the colonies...many of us have our own opinions on how she lost the weight. Mostly healthy eating and long term exercise are NOT among them.
GingerTail said:
Her book that she is planning is going to be about which experiences? Locking her mum in the trunk? Having her breasts augmented at 18 and being a nude dancer? Who cares to read that rubbish? We want the real story, who is the OctoDad?

oh happy day!
Shirley said:
I guess it's no problem going to the gym, if someone else is raising your childen and supporting them,. (Like the State.) And what would her book be about, being pregnant? Because that's all she knows. It certainly isn't any know how about rasing children or being a responsible mother. Because if she was she would have stopped at 2 children and then went to work and supported them herself.
Whacko said:
I am sure you all know what you are talking about and I agree that if that is true she should not be portraid as a role model, however the advice she gave is good, are any of you disagreeing with 'eating healthy and exerise'????
You have to be kidding said:
I can't believe you are using Suleman to fuss at other mothers for not being as "disciplined" as her to regain their pre-baby weight. Suleman is not disciplined, she is obsessed with being a celebrity. Talk about adding insult to injury. Suleman has lied from the get-go about virtually everything and why anyone would believe her now is beyond me. She had a tummy tuck during her mysterious surgery last year and no telling how many other procedures she has had. She is not a suitable role model for anything but on how to abuse the system.
stml said:
Are u serious? Really, you want us to believe this, I would need some really good mind erasing drugs to forget all the lies and crap over the past year. Where are the two sets of twins?
Sherry said:
14 kids to nurture and what is her priority.. herself and how she looks. For the tups birthday what do they get, there mom for 8 pages in a bikini..the tups,one pic.and once again strapped into chairs!! And the diet is called a mommy makeover!!! Naturally..yea right..more octo lies, shame on you for glorifying this women in another BS article!!!!!!
finsup said:
No plastic surgery?? I say BULLSH*T. I wish Nutso would take her ruberband body and sling shot it over to the UK. We're sick of her lies, and we're sick of supporting her. You can HAVE her!!
momof4 said:
Oh this is so wrong on so many levels.
First of all there is no way she accomplished this with exercise and diet alone. She doesn't even look like she's ever had one baby in the pictures. Plastic surgery and photoshop is my guess for the "great" body.
The majority of women that have babies can't afford nor do they want a gaggle of nannies raising their children. Most families have either two parents that are working or a father that is working. Also most parents after being away for their children all day long prefer to spend time with their children and not spend tons of me time. When you have children it's not about you anymore it's about them and what's best for them. I would rather stay heavy and know that I've spent every precious minute with my children than leave them in the care of nannies. This however is not the thinking of nadya. She's all about her and the babies are just play things. If she was caring for her babies like she should be she wouldn't be spending hours at the gym. What a joke.
This women is not only a slap in the face to every hard working family...she's an insult to motherhood. How dare you glorify this poser. Remember if her lips are moving shes lying.
Boze said:
Bitch, please. She looks like a tranny. Hey Nads! Those fake tits hardly help if you`re trying to prove you`re a woman.
Jenna said:
Please take a look at these pics. Especially the one that has comments by Dr. Sire. In that picture one can very clearly see the round lump in her lower abdomen that is the port to her lap band. Ports become very obvious when one has lost a lot of weight or had a tummy tuck. She didn't lose weight on her own. Everyone else has covered the tummy tuck so I won't.

A clear case of photoshopping Octomom's head on someone else's body.......
shababy said:
Prioritize and Octomom is an oxymoron. Who in the hell devotes 3 hours to the gym while devoting 10 minutes to each kid??? Total time with kids---2 hours 20 minutes...Total photo op time at gym---3 hours....FREAKIN PRICELESS!!!! Sickening, just plain sickening!!! THIS WRITER SUCKS if she truly believes Nadya, no muscle tone having, saggy ass having, fake eyelashes having, fake bubble lip having, hell fake everything having, Sulemon lost this weight without the help of surgery.....
