Mariah Carey: How I Lost 70 Lbs. Post-Twins
Sexy mama Mariah Carey, 42, flaunts her toned tummy on the cover of Shape‘s May issue, on newsstands April 23. The mom of 11-month-old twins Moroccan and Monroe opens up about her pregnancy, husband Nick Cannon, and her 70-pound post-babies weight loss.
On her pregnancy: “Pregnancy was probably the best and the hardest thing I’ll ever go through. I know for a lot of women, it can be wonderful and relatively easy. But for me, it was like ‘Okay, honey, do you have to do everything the hard way?’ ” She went on to talk about her pregnancy weight gain. “Everyone said I was fat, so I did something about it. I put on around 70 lbs., but if you look at photos of me when I was pregnant, you’d say, ‘Wow, she gained 9,000 pounds!’ A lot of it was water weight because I pretty much had head-to-toe edema, which is very painful.”
On losing weight with Jenny Craig’s eating plan: “I used to be able to slim down just by exercising more, but that’s changed. Since having the babies, I realize that 90 percent of losing weight is my diet.”
On her exercise regime: “Today my workout routine is more about getting and staying toned. And for me, that means either taking hour-long walks a few times a week or jumping in the pool three or four days a week to do 45 minutes of aquatic exercises.”
On Nick’s recent health scares: “It was really frightening, but he’s feeling much stronger and is definitely on the right track,” she shares. “He’s taking better care of himself, eating a diet low in sodium and sugar, and getting more sleep.”

Daya Vaidya Expecting Identical Twin Boys
Unforgettable star Daya Vaidya is expecting identical twin boys this summer! In an interview with Life & Style – the actress reveals how she and husband Don Wallace found out the double baby news.
She said, “Even when my doctor saw only one baby in our first ultrasound, my husband said he strangely felt there were two babies. When they finally saw the second baby at three months, my jaw dropped to the floor, and my husband said with a huge smile, ‘I told you so!’”
Daya says they’re thrilled about expanding their family. They also have a nearly 3-year-old daughter named Leela.
I know we’ll have our hands full, but we’re beyond thrilled about our two little additions. We have our health, our careers and with the birth of our boys, our family will be complete. We couldn’t feel more lucky.”
When she was pregnant with Leela – it was much easier.
She shares, “I literally hiked mountains during my ninth month. With twins, it’s like walking around with a boulder in my belly and a belt around my lungs. I can barely walk two blocks, and I’m only in my fifth month!”
Luckily for her – the cast of Unforgettable has been supportive.
“Once my pregnancy was announced, the cast, crew and producers went out of their way to make sure I was healthy and comfortable,” Daya says. “I’m truly grateful for the progress achieved for pregnant women in the workplace. It makes such a difference.”

Mariska Hargitay: "This Has Been A Year Of True Blessings"
Actress Mariska Hargitay may play no-nonsense detective Olivia Benson on the NBC television drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but when it comes to her three precious children, the 48-year-old mother is nothing but a big softie.
During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday (April 18), Mariska opens ups about her and her husband Peter Hermann‘s emotional struggle to adopt their daughter Amaya and the surprise adoption of their third child Andrew.
“Well, with my son it was a different story,” Mariska – who is also mother to 5-year-old August – explains, making reference to how quickly the adoption of Andrew really was. “It was very different with my son it all happened very quickly and that’s not usually how it happens. I would say usually, [adopting a child] takes the same about of time it takes for a baby to grow in your belly. “
“We got a call out of nowhere from our lawyer who said, ‘We have this amazing little boy and this amazing opportunity.’” she adds, referencing that they adopted Andrew a mere 6 months after welcoming Amaya into their home. “With [Amaya] it took months and months and with [Andrew] it was — truth be told, it was two days.”
Mariska continues to reveal that her children have been “nothing shy of a miracle.”
“This year has been a year of true blessings,” she says, welling up with tears. “Way to make me cry Ellen!”
