The narrative has to keep changing to keep the persecution up, otherwise there's nothin juicy about all this. You can pretty much tell who's been successful at the magnified TV worthy weight loss by who's still 'seen'. Dozens of celebs have come and gone in various weight loss programs and there's a reason you don't 'see' some of them anymore. Trying to tell me the companies somehow are clueless about the weight habits of the people they hire, didn't hear any teeth gnashing or sobbing done by the folks of Nutrition System about Janet Jackson.

Lots of people think he's a gold digger and needs to get a job. But honestly I don't think it's a big deal. If I had enough money I wouldn't mind if my husband didn't work. Seems like a pretty good life, hang out with each other, raise babies and vacation. He doesn’t. Lots of people think he’s a gold digger and needs to get a job.

The gossip narrative seems to have gone from Weight Watchers distancing themselves from Jessica and dumping her as fast possible... to trying to 'get at least some of their money's worth' out of her... to now the 'mob' playing the 'we own you' card. I'm not really buying any of them. Sticking to a program and losing weight is difficult. Keeping it off can be even more difficult. The diet companies know this better than anyone, and hiring celebs to advertise for them is a gamble. How many of these spokespeople manage to fulfill their 'contracts' and then go on and gain all or some of the weight back? Plenty. Sometimes the gamble pays off more than others. Who knows, the deal with Jessica might end up being very successful down the road sometime. If not, I don't think it is a nightmare 'heads are rolling' scenario at Weight Watchers. ^^^ This.

Actual 'guidelines' set for pregnancy weight gain do vary according to mom's pre-pregnancy weight. Of course guidelines are just that... and are not set in stone because every woman is different and every pregnancy is different. Most 'recommendations' seem to suggest something like this (from webmd): Ask your health care provider how much weight you should gain. A woman who was average weight before getting pregnant should gain 25 to 35 pounds after becoming pregnant. Underweight women should gain 28 to 40 pounds. And overweight women may need to gain only 15 to 25 pounds during pregnancy. ******* As already mentioned though, it isn't so much about weight, as it is about having a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. Many women don't gain the 'recommended' amount and are perfectly healthy... many gain more than suggested and are also just fine. Agree as well.

'Those' being the general public. Weight Watchers is seen as a diet plan... and a celebrity on a diet plan while pregnant? Could be that the perception of Jessica 'on a diet' while pregnant wouldn't necessarily be good PR for Jessica OR Weight Watchers.

Exactly what I was going to say. If a woman doesn't gain any weight, that means she's actually losing weight, because the "baby stuffs" is 15-20 lbs. Therefore, the body was in a weight burning mode of some sort, and that can affect the nutrition the baby receives. ^^This. Exactly what I was going to say.

I think she looks fine, but I would never call her beautiful. She also has a rough body shape. So squat. She’s a very plain gal without all the make-up.
