Janet looks mighty fine after her recent weight loss, which deserves a serious pat on the back. All her life she has publicly yo yo dieted after being a chubby kid and then typically gets back on track in an ''all or nothing'' way, which is something I think everyone can identify with. I think if an individual views healthy eating and exercise as a lifestyle rather than a quick fix then this is the way forward. For me personally I know I have to workout 6 times a week, drink 2 plus litres of water everyday, eat five portions of fruit/veg or day and ban sugar, dairy and wheat to stay in shape. Boring but true.
It's tough but in the longterm it's the only way! I find the front cover of US weekly amusing for this reason...almost claiming there is some miracle diet that will achieve these results when in fact sheer ball breaking work did it for Janet. Of course having a personal trainer to kick your ass and drag you out of bed everyday helps to motivate you, and specialised meal delivery too, but at the end of the day, no matter how rich or famous someone is no one can lose the weight for you, so she's done good. When Janet's in shape she really rocks out, remember those tight little abs a few years back during the ''together again'' days with belly cropped tops and baggy jeans,cute crazy hair, bindis and a nose ring? Pretty lady!

Girl looks good! Welcome back Janet can't wait for the new image and album. I'm not the biggest fan but there's just something about her that I like. She just seems so personable and down to earth.

call me cynical but...no; that was not down to 'hard work' it was down to some bloody good diet pills.

^ I dunno
there were plenty of paparazzi fotos of Miss J out and about with her personal trainer sweating up a storm.

yeah . . . . okay. That mag cover was so down to earth.

yeah, i doubt it was diet pills as well. diet pills do not create muscle tone and FLESH, like she has. if she lost 60lbs with diet pills, she'd look like a smaller version of her fatter self, 'skinny fat', like a slim but lumpy noodle. which obviously isnt the case.

diet pills that yield weight loss, especially such extreme weight loss, result in the person looking like a cracked out druggie. have you ever seen a druggie who's lost 60+lbs on narcotics look like janet?.....

she works hard, you can tell she does. i dont know why people refuse to believe that something could be simply due to balls out hard work, there's always cynicism about that, its too bad.

i dont know, 60 pounds in 4 month? its not like she was starting at 300. theres SOMETHING not of 'normal methods' about that.

Yea, I agree.

I mean, I don't think she was on diet pills or whatever, but she probably worked out and restricted to such an extreme that just isn't good for her body.

i call gastric bypass.

Celebs can afford all sorts of weird crap that helps loose weight. Teas, special 'water', pills, those vibrating pads that tone you up....there's even this new thing Madonna's using. Its a vibrating plate that you stand on and it shakes your whole body. I think astronauts used to use them to increase muscle and bone density before going into space. You wont believe the kind of crap thats available out there.

do you honestly believe it was 60 pounds?
Those magazines lie about celeb's weight all the time. They just make up numbers and guess. LIke some other rag had an old ass picture of Mariah on the cover going on about her incredible weight loss. Yeah she did tone up but that pic is definately not recent.

180...I don't believe she was ever 180, she is short too, 180 is bigggg, and she looked thinner than me

She was hardly fat enough to warrant that. She was maybe well into the 'overweight' category but she certainly didn't seem to be obese, by any stretch of the imagination.

In fact, I can't say I find her 'fat' pictures to be all that bad. I'd be pretty gutted if I was at that weight, but I really don't think she looked too bad. Obviously she looks better now, but such a big deal has been made out of something that doesn't even strike me as all that serious.

It's just the fact that she seemed to almost balloon overnight at an alarming rate, which of course is easy to do. In contrast to how athletic she was before she was almost unrecognisable. I admire the dedication it took to lose the fat fast, just like Jack Osbourne in his show "Adrenaline Junkie" show which I have to say was very impressive. Once you immerse yourself into that mindset the results are amazing. Weight loss fascinates me because you truly have to really mentally change your mindset and "get in the zone" as it were.
It's like in Jack Osbourne show when he had to do those gruelling Thai workouts on little fuel (food) and was physically chucking up and then getting back in the ring, battling against the hunger pains. After months of this intensive training and colonics he looked great it has to be said. Apparently practicing yoga helps you to stay on track and reduces hunger pangs, possibly because it focuses on breathing etc.
I remember Janet Jackson on the Jonathan Ross show a couple of years back when she was in peak shape and she seemed so together and centred. Its strange how food control and binge eating is linked to our emotions. Anyone that can turn it around is inspirational.

For someone without a daily job, that kind of weight loss is possible. If she had a trainer pushing her for hours a day and truly stuck to a strict diet, she could do it. And it doesn't look like a coke body or a diet pill body. She's obviously been working out a LOT. Of course we don't know that it's exactly 60 lbs because chances are she's not going to release the exact figure to the media, why would she? It's not a matter of public concern. But by looking at her body and knowing she was seen with her trainer a lot I think she did it herself. Also you have to be 100 lbs overweight to get a gastric bypass, I don't think she had one of those.

you've got a point.

i was thinking, would your body even let you do it that fast without breaking down and looking horrible though.

but then again 60 divided by 16 weeks, thats a little under 4 pounds a week on average. meh.... still crazy (isnt 2 what they say is tops for 'sensible"? thats what my mom always said shes a trainer), but i GUESS if you can endure 2 hours of cardio six days a week plus lets just say like at least an hour of weights/ specificed exercises too and keep it up, i guess thats possible. if thats all she had to do and she could lounge and read the rest of the day and sleep 9 or 10 hours, i think maybe it might be doable. i think i could probably do it, if i was eating just enough to where i didnt feel starved when working out. in fact if it was between doing that, and having a regular job with doing non-celebrity day to day shit, i would LOVE to do the extreme working out
