This may be hard to believe, but not everyone in Hollywood is genetically predisposed to resemble a parking meter. The rest of them have to actually work for it. And for them, it practically becomes a second job.

Take Gwen Stefani. She was back in fighting form weeks after giving birth to Kingston. “Let's just talk about how hard it's been,” she told one reporter. “I jog regularly and I've just been eating healthy.” Gwen also takes stroller-pushing duty very, very seriously. Walking with a stroller ramps up your workout in a big way. Problem is, a lot of celebs get confused by the logistics, so they wind up idly window-shopping while their nanny pushes the stroller next to them. Then again, not everyone has a baby as cute as Gwen’s. Nothing against the rest of the famous babies, but if they all came out looking like Kingston Rossdale, you’d see far more celeb moms parading their kids around.

Another hard-working mom is Jenny McCarthy, who had to drop a whopping 50 pounds of baby fat after giving birth to Evan five years ago. “I finally realized it took nine months to put on the weight. It's not going to come off overnight,” she’s said. Losing the extra weight actually did become a second job for her—first she joined Weight Watchers, and then she teamed up with them to launch a new section called Bye Bye Baby Fat.

It’s the same philosophy that works for anyone trying to lose weight—slow down, skip the crash diets and boot-camp workouts, and you might actually stick with it. Of course, getting a hefty paycheck at the end wouldn’t hurt, either.
