The secret is 5 small meals 3-4 hours apart
eating 1200 Calories a day and lifing Weights
Walking on the Treadmill 30 minutes and doing
Situps

It is serious commitment and damn hard work
but it can happen that photo of Poppy is not
Photoshopped

These clebrities look after themselves and that is
why they lose the weight quickly

Yes, not everybody gets stretch marks, but those with fair skin and freckles are certainly more prone to it. Poppy fits right in to that category, I have no doubt this photo is photoshopped.

Just an aside that I’m a relatively small person and have NO stretch marks from my pregnancy. Not a one. Neither does my mother from BOTH of her pregnancies or her mother from all THREE of hers. Its not a scientific study, but I’m going with the hereditary thing here. And I stand as living proof that stretch marks are NOT a given.

Emma- Okay, maybe the “Sexiest Man Alive” thing is a bit superficial (that is the one thing about PEOPLE that I’ve never understood, I’ll admitt. First of all, for me to find a man sexy, I’d have to appreciate what wasd on the inside, not just what might be on the outside. For me beauty comes from within. Also, I’m a bit of a femenist, and it gets me that they do an annual “Sexiest Man Alive” issue, but you never see them doing a “Sexiest Woman Alive” issue. Then again, I do realize that most of their reader-base is made up of women, so that kind of issue probably wouldn’t sell very well.).

However, I actually admire the way they do their annual “Most Beautiful” issue. That’s because, in addition to their list of people who are outwardly beautiful (i.e. beautiful on the outside) they always include a section on people who are beautiful on the inside: Those who do humatarian work, support a cause (for example, women’s rights or cancer research).

I have never seen any other celeb-type magazine do that. In fact, when I first realized that PEOPLE includes that section in it’s “Most Beautiful” issue, I gained even more respect for them.

As for them only printing the truth: What I meant by that is that they don’t post all the nasty lies the tabs do. They’ve even been known to “sit on” stories until they can confirm their info.

Finally, I probably worded it wrong when I said I’m proud to be a PEOPLE subscriber. What I meant by that is that I’m not at all ashamed to admit that I subscribe to PEOPLE (which according to some people is a superficial magazine)!

Oh, and another reason I love PEOPLE magazine that I forgot to mention in my last post: They also post quite a few stories about “normal” people supporting various causes, people who help those less fortunate than them, and people rising up to the challanges of having various disabilties, to name just a few examples.

As a person who has minor disabilities herself, the last category (people with disabilities) that I mentioned, means a lot to me.

PEOPLE also writes about animals who have either performed heroic deeds or have unique challanges from time to time (for example, they recently wrote about a dog who was born with only her hind legs). I’m a huge animal lover, so it warms my heart to see PEOPLE being so compassionate towards animals!

Anyway, yes PEOPLE has some superficial content, but, IMO, that is far outweighed by the NON-superfical content!

People magazine only prints the truth,huh?

NO publication whether its People or any other publication ALWAYS prints the truth. Its not possible because our media filters the “truth” that we see, whether its a media image or the written word.

The content of People Magazine as it pertains to celebrities is quite superfical and its naive to believe otherwise.

Take for example, their annual Sexiest Man Alive campaign and their constant People’s Most Beautiful People in the world issue. These issues should SCREAM superficiality to you. The people they deem
the most beautiful are typically celebrities who have already been named year after year. The majority of the people chosen for those “accolades” are the celebrities. Even the written content with their most beautiful list suggests that these celebs are so extraordinary simply becuase of their physical beauty, but, then they are air brushed and have full makeup and hair in the photos.

Anyone who is a subscriber must concede this point as the cover story is always the Sexiest Man Alive on the cover and one of their most popular issues.

And frankly,to hear someone express a sense of pride about having a magazine subscription is pretty bizarre. (?) I can only hope you feel a sense of pride in something that actually matters in life.

And I don’t care for the photo because it simply isn’t an accurate depiction of her body. If there was no air brushing,I’d applaud her decision because it would be real.

I think you’re missing Emma’s point. That’s not a REAL “post-baby body”. It’s a FAKE airbrushed photoshopped “post-baby body”.

Brandi- ITA! And Emma, FYI, I DO think I’ve seen some celeb moms posing in jeans in the Body after Baby Column. Anyway, I don’t get what’s wrong with her posing with her baby. It’s not like he’s going to be traumtized by seeing his mom in a bikini! Heck, he won’t even remember the photoshoot!

I think Poppy just wanted to show off both her body AND her baby! All of that said, I agree with Brandi that PEOPLE’s content is NOT superfical!

I am a proud PEOPLE subscriber, and I love reading the magazine! It’s not because I enjoy seeing “perfect” celebs or, as Emma basically put it “no realism”.

It’s because PEOPLE, unlike the tabs (no I do not consider PEOPLE to be a tab!), only prints the truth. On the rare occasion that they DO end up printing something that isn’t true, they admit their mistake and issue a correction in the next issue (or a few issues after the one with the mistake, depending on how long it takes them to catch the mistake).

The other thing I love about PEOPLE is that they never get nasty about anything. Even when they write about conterversial topics, they keep their opinions to themselves.

In fact, greatly admire PEOPLE for the way they handled a story in their magazine two weeks ago (it was in the issue with Obama on the cover, just after the election). In their StyleWatch section, they mentioned how Suri (at the time that particular issue had gone to press) had been recently seen on several occasions without a coat, and went on to suggest some stylish coats for her.

However, they managed to do it in a way that wasn’t at all nasty or judgemental of Tom and Katie’s parenting.
