Beyonce’s Weight Loss Plan Should Make Moms Feel Better, Not Worse

Six weeks after giving birth to baby Blue Ivy, Beyonce is focused on dropping her 40 lbs of baby weight. And let’s just say she’s not exactly lazing around eating bonbons. In fact, Beyonce is working her ass off (literally!) with intense, four-hour-a-day workouts and an equally rigid diet.

Hollywoodlife.com reports that Bey is waking up at an ungodly 5 a.m. to get in her first workout of the day. (When you have a newborn, that’s no small feat.) And apparently her trainer Marco Borges has moved into the family home to lead her daily workouts, which includes a two-hour workout first thing in the morning and then again at 5 p.m. “They do a mix of cardio, Pilates, plyometrics, yoga and, of course, dance,” a source told Hollywoodlife.com.

On the food front, Beyonce is eating six small, high-protein meals a day, such as egg-white omelets and protein shakes. And, according to the source, Beyonce is already seeing progress: She has so far lost 14 lbs and hopes to reach 128 by early March. (She weighed 170 at the height of her pregnancy.)

So ONTD what's your exercise routine?

Wow, it took me a good 3 years to drop 5 dress sizes. But that probably a good thing, it stayed off for almost 6 years now apart from the last size that I went a bit mad in loosing. Trying to see if I can get it off in a sustainable way but no biggie if I don't, I just want to improve my fitness and health now. ^_^

robodromo 23rd-Feb-2012 07:03 am (UTC)

working out is fun. I don't get the hate. just put that iPod on and forget about the world for a few hours.

muzicnem 23rd-Feb-2012 07:21 am (UTC)

I can only speak for myself but I usually feel like I'm gonna die when I work out. That's why I don't really enjoy it.

mydogfred 23rd-Feb-2012 07:45 am (UTC)

lol ia w/u, i don't enjoy it either

plus i am always thinking about the million other things i have do to. i could never spend more than an hour at the gym

I agree. I absolutely LOVE working out!

leatherandjeans 23rd-Feb-2012 09:26 am (UTC)

Mte. The high from exercise is amazing, as is the sense of achievement. I love feeling fit and strong and sexy and idg why other people don't want that.

invisiblemonkey 23rd-Feb-2012 10:50 am (UTC)

Yes, I don't always feel like going but during/after a work-out I feel so energised and strong. It's also nice to zone out for an hour and just revel in the physical.

k_byte 23rd-Feb-2012 11:58 am (UTC)

i like workout classes like zumba or good old fashioned step aerobics, and i like jogging outside, but like i can't just run on a treadmill or whatever because i get so bored. it sucks because workout classes at my apartment complex gym cost $$$ and i live in ohio so the weather is bad like half the year >__>

milkradio 23rd-Feb-2012 06:31 pm (UTC)

Sometimes it's fun, sometimes I reeeeally don't want to do it but I force myself anyway because I know I'll feel more accomplished when it's done. idk, it's different on different days, I guess. Sometimes I find it so easy to go through multiple workouts and other days I'm like "uuuuuugh, noooooo, I don't want toooooooo..." I wish I knew why!

isntdaveone 23rd-Feb-2012 07:04 am (UTC)

what supplements/pills do y'all take before & after working out??

robodromo 23rd-Feb-2012 07:08 am (UTC)

I only drink a protein shake before going to the gym. nothing else.

hunnichild 23rd-Feb-2012 07:17 am (UTC)

I've caught shit for it but I do an EC (ephedrine/caffeine) stack. It gives you ridiculous energy, curbs your appetite and has a thermogenic effect. Our country got ridiculous about ephedra/ephedrine because of people who took excessive amounts but there are plenty of studies that have proven that it's effective in therapeutic doses and scientist have/had been urging the medical community to consider it for ages. I take three doses a day and I've been doing it off and on for about three months. I've lost 30 lbs. and kept it off even when I went off the stack and stopped exercising for awhile.

onyxobsidian 23rd-Feb-2012 07:26 am (UTC)

Ephedra is legal again but no one puts it in their shit anymore. So annoying.

Before: breakfast or a piece of fruit depending on what i'm doing as a workout
After: nonfat plain greek yogurt with jam or granola and some fruit or an apple and peanut butter

liteweightbaby 23rd-Feb-2012 09:31 pm (UTC)

none, most of them are useless.

trixielollipop 23rd-Feb-2012 07:05 am (UTC)

My fitness regime consists of Roller derby/roller skating. But since I have a busted rib rn, I'm so pissed that I can't keep up my fitness.

Even ~gentle~ cardio like snowshoeing makes my ribs ache. Breathing deep still hurts, two weeks in.

/pissed that I'm off skates for 6 weeks

devetu 23rd-Feb-2012 07:08 am (UTC)

i love rollerblading, it makes your butt look good

trixielollipop 23rd-Feb-2012 07:11 am (UTC)

My quads and butt were looking pretty on-point right before I picked up this injury.

I had been skating hard for about 3 months and had finally started to feel like I'm ~back in fitness~.

Now I have to take a month and a half off. I'm so pressed, tbh.

Roller derby FOR LIFE. My high school has a team, and while its tiny, and the local team is crap, I love it. Its the best sport ever. I feel like I'm going to die, but it would be a good way to go

juel1979 23rd-Feb-2012 03:13 pm (UTC)

I wish I could skate, but I'm terrified. =X

miabloodymia 23rd-Feb-2012 07:05 am (UTC)

her body is her career, so i can understand this...

zoaster_toaster 23rd-Feb-2012 07:06 am (UTC)

Most women also don't have trainers who can train them for 2 hours a day and seven days a week, so this is all suspect imo.

onyxobsidian 23rd-Feb-2012 07:13 am (UTC)

Right? I see these twink porn stars who suddenly get all buff within about a year. Must me nice to hardly work and make a fuckload of money and have time/money for a personal trainer.

galagooo 23rd-Feb-2012 07:06 am (UTC)

I don't remember the last time my weight was in the 120s.

indignantindigo 23rd-Feb-2012 07:12 am (UTC)

I can't ever remember being in the 100s it's like one minute I'm a 70lb kid and then bam I grow a foot and five inches have hips, boobs and weigh about 160.

tiddlywinks103 23rd-Feb-2012 07:39 am (UTC)

My life, tbh.

juel1979 23rd-Feb-2012 03:14 pm (UTC)

Same. I shot over 110 in fifth grade, and never saw below 100 again. I didn't get tall, just got enough chub for puberty to hit.

sparrowsrflying 23rd-Feb-2012 07:07 am (UTC)

i can't imagine working out that much. two of my sisters never really lost their baby weight - my other sister is close, but my nephew just turned 4.

lola122 23rd-Feb-2012 07:11 am (UTC)

I've started enjoying my workouts so much lately, which is a nice change. If I had more free time I could easily spend 3 hours a day at my fancy, pretty gym and be happy about it.

But 4 hours a day with a new baby seems a bit unrealistic, idk.

onyxobsidian 23rd-Feb-2012 07:12 am (UTC)

I went for a 5 mile jog today, and I figured I was good for the day.

Then my friend invited me to hot yoga.

I. WANTED. TO. DIE

laurie_springs 23rd-Feb-2012 08:20 am (UTC)

lmao I always think pilates is easy for some reason until like a minute in.

to_pandiculate 23rd-Feb-2012 10:04 am (UTC)

ahahahaha rofl, always

milkradio 23rd-Feb-2012 06:33 pm (UTC)

lol jfc. I only just got a yoga DVD from the library and some moves are pretty tough and I can't imagine doing them in a 40˚C room D: D: D: I was already slipping in some moves and I randomly thought "I wonder if they make you do half moon pose in hot yoga... i would break my face."

lizardloo 23rd-Feb-2012 06:53 pm (UTC)

I just started hot yoga and god it is SO hot. However I feel freaking awesome afterwards so I'll probably stick with it. My teacher says eventually you get "a little" used to the heat...not sure that'll ever be true

I need new stuff to add to my itunes

helloneworld Re: workout music — 23rd-Feb-2012 07:16 am (UTC)

what kind of music (or genre) do you like for working out?

hwb_bish Re: workout music — 23rd-Feb-2012 07:20 am (UTC)

Honestly every genre. From Rap, hip Hop to pop and hard rock or Alternative. I listen to it all while I'm working out.

onyxobsidian Re: workout music — 23rd-Feb-2012 07:16 am (UTC)

I am listening the fuck out of Nicki Minaj's Starships when I work out

trixielollipop Re: workout music — 23rd-Feb-2012 07:17 am (UTC)

Robyn. The answer is always Robyn.

robodromo Re: workout music — 23rd-Feb-2012 07:26 am (UTC)

"Millionaire" by Plastillina Mosh has been on my cardio playlist for years now so I'd go with that one or Kid Cudi's "Dat New New (Viking Remix)"

Missy Elliott - Lose Control

Anything Ryan Adams. I pimp him out as much as I can.

idreaminargyle Re: workout music — 23rd-Feb-2012 09:08 am (UTC)

Britney's most recent album
Azealia Banks "212"
Kid Sister (she has a lot of really good stuff, "look out weekend is a fave")
GirlTalk
The Go! Team (T.O.R.N.A.D.O gets me going tbh)
Beyonce "Run The World (girls)" and a lot of her past stuff too tbh

I'm over Gaga but I still like Judas and telephone sometimes

Mint Royale "singin in the rain"
MIA "bad girls"

various Missy Elliot songs

"WTF" collab song with Kid Sister/Pase Rock/Tittsworth

this is old, but "what you waiting for?" from Gwen gets me going

I have even more but this comment is so long already haha

idreaminargyle Re: workout music — 23rd-Feb-2012 09:09 am (UTC)

oh Lupe Fiasco's most recent mixtape "friend of the people" has some gems on it

I love moving to "Lupe Back" it just gets me so friggin pumped

invisiblemonkey Re: workout music — 23rd-Feb-2012 11:10 am (UTC)

I like Girl Talk because it's up-tempo and because it's a mash-up mixes, it just keeps going on and on.

alienclit Re: workout music — 23rd-Feb-2012 01:34 pm (UTC)

techno music. I'd recommend Dada Life's free monthly mixtape podcast because mixtapes are prime for working out. You don't have to fumble with your ipod to change songs.
