Octomom claims she’s lost 145 lbs without surgery

wenn2570547

After her last pregnancy Nadya Suleman dropped 40 pounds just like that. Of course she was also hauling around eight babies at one time. Suleman claims during her pregnancy with the octuplets she weighed as much as 270 lbs. Though she gave birth just nine months ago, Suleman claims to have lost a total of 145 lbs, putting her at 125. And from recent pictures it seems to be the case. She says she didn’t have any surgery, or even the help of a trainer.

Nine months after giving birth to octuplets, single mom Nadya Suleman is back into her pre-baby jeans after losing a staggering 145 pounds — without the help of a trainer or plastic surgery. “I topped 270 pounds while pregnant,” the controversial 34-year-old mother of 14 kids — Elijah, 8; Amerah, 7; Joshua, 6; Aidan, 4; twins Calyssa and Caleb, 3; and 9-month-old octuplets Josiah, Makai, Jeremiah, Nariyah, Jonah, Noah, Maliyah and Isaiah, tells the new issue of Us Weekly.

And though she easily snapped back into a size two after her other pregnancies, getting back into shape after welcoming eight babies wasn’t easy. “I was eating everything in sight,” she explains. Instantly erasing 40 pounds after delivering her octuplets, Suleman says she felt compelled to join a local gym after their birth. There, she fits in thrice-weekly midnight workouts (while a nanny watches over her sleeping children) with strength training but no cardio. “I get enough of that with the kids,” Suleman, who gets by on three hours of sleep, tells Us.

But don’t think workouts alone got the 5-foot-7 mom down to 125 lbs. — Suleman maintains a strict diet, too. Five protein-packed meals or snacks a day normally consist of “anything the kids are eating.” Food staples in the Suleman household? Oatmeal, sushi, turkey, and even homemade baby food. “As long as it’s nutritious, it’s good to eat,” the busy mom explains.

“Even my Ob-Gyn is astounded at how I’ve snapped back,” says Suleman, who did not seek any surgical help for her weight. “And she knows I haven’t had anything done!”

[From Us Weekly]

Us has the best recent picture of Nadya here. She says she lost 40 from giving birth. Which means over the course of the last nine months she’s lost 105 lbs. That seems extreme – and even impossible – but when you do the math, it comes out to about 11.5 lbs a month, or 2.9 lbs a week. Generally weight loss of 2 lbs a week is considered healthy, but 3 lbs isn’t that extreme. In my experience, my rate of weight loss isn’t constant, no matter how diligent I am with eating and exercise. I can be completely on the ball and lose 4 lbs one week and nothing the next. It seems like what’s most astounding about Nadia’s weight loss is that it looks like it was fairly constant. She doesn’t seem to have lost focus or gotten frustrated one week and eaten whatever she wanted like most of us would.

I am fairly amazed that she manages to eat five small meals a day with all those kids running around. I don’t have any distractions of that sort and I still find it challenging to eat every three hours. And getting by on three hours of sleep? That’s insane. I can’t help but wonder what Nadya’s going to look like in fifteen years. She’s relatively young now but she’s put her body through something almost none of us go through. Just because she’s snapped back now doesn’t mean she’ll always have it so easy.

In other Octomom news, she recently dressed up as a pregnant nun for a Halloween party – and dressed the octuplets up as little devils. You know, because she wasn’t getting enough attention.

Here’s Nadya bowling with her kids on September 13th. Images thanks to WENN.com .

    She could shed another 100 if she lopped off that fat head of hers.

  2. snowball says:

    She’s no size 2 or 125 pounds. And her lips weigh 10 pounds, so you have to factor that in.

    The family eats SUSHI? Who’s financing this? I’d like to be introduced. I have a 17 year old who eats anything, I’m sure he’d like a steady supply of fresh seafood, seaweed wraps and rice. He likes calimari salad too, do you suppose Octoweirdo is eating that as well?

    Criminy.

  3. RAMONA says:

    I have to say that I am surprised that Nadya never had a weight problem at all because of her severe “Mommie Dearest” syndrome, and believe me, she has the biggest “Momzilla” of anyone, except maybe for Tori Spelling….But on the other hand her her spewing out children like pop tarts made up for it…Anyway, I think she is sweet and beautiful,…a little misguided about what life is supposed to really be like but she is creating her own world and more power to her!!

  4. Prissa says:

    Sorry, but I call shenanigans on her claim she had nothing done. I do not believe she could lose that stretched stomach without some form of tummy tuck.

  5. Lee says:

    Not buying the 125 lbs story either. I’m 5’7″ and weigh 130, and I’m thin with next to no boobs. Certainly not the bought-and-paid-for-by-social-services set she’s sporting. They’ve got to weigh 10 lbs each.

  6. Lucinda says:

    I agree with Prissa. There would be too much extra skin after that last pregnancy for her tummy to be that flat without surgery. I’ve known too many people who gave birth just to twins to know that. And after 8 babies and multiple pregnancies? I’m not buying that bridge.

  7. Meghan says:

    There is no way her stomach went back to that without surgery. I mean, even Kate had surgery because her stomach was stretched out and all that. And that was what, a year or two after the 6 were born? No way Octomom has a nice trim tummy 9 months after those babies were born without some work.

    And I’m 5’7 and weigh slightly more than her and my boobs are waaaay smaller than hers are, she has to weigh over 125 with those babies!

  8. NIKKI says:

    maybe she’s wearing one of those belts or spandex thingy?

  9. Green Is Good says:

    Every time this professional breeder opens her mouth, a lie falls out.

  10. AlaskaJoey says:

    Due to her general level of insanity, I believe she gets by on 3 hours of sleep a night. Sometimes I can’t sleep more than 3 hours a night, and by the end of the next day I’m shaky, paranoid, and loony as hell.

  11. GatsbyGal says:

    She probably has an eating disorder.

  12. KelBear says:

    There is just no way her tummy skin just bounced back. That stuff has got to be flapping around. Did you see Kates stomach after her 6 kids? yuck.

    Someone should ask her to lift up her shirt and show her stomach.

  13. boo says:

    Snoball- sushi is really cheap when you make it yourself as long as you’re not using the sashimi grade ingredient.

    I think she looks pretty good and wouldn’t discredit her if she did have some xtra skin removed.

  14. Embee says:

    She is an extreme example of how crazy the “breeders” world has gotten. Everyone claims to have gained no weight for the first two trimesters then after the delivery (natural, of course and “everyone said it was the longest/hardest they’d ever seen but I just couldn’t accept drugs”) they report to have gained 55 lbs which they dropped in 6 weeks (due to breastfeeding, natch) and were back in their skinny jeans by the end of the 4th trimester.
    At the one year birthday she’ll throw an all-organic party rivalling Martha Stewart whilst breezily claiming it to be “easy.”
    This is psychotic. And anti-female. I don’t bash her, I pity her for bowing at the altar of “perfect woman.”

  15. Jules says:

    She’s full of sh*t, as usual…

  16. MeowBea says:

    Bullsh*t 🙄

  17. Cheyenne says:

    Wow, so much hate on this woman. I think she’s a terminal nutcase. But everybody seems to be losing sight of the fact that all of the babies have survived, they are now nine months old, and that is nothing short of a miracle.

  18. Tazina says:

    Sushi isn’t that expensive. You can pick it up at most grocery stores or make it very cheaply. There’s another picture of her online and she definitely looks to be a size 2. Everything is small on her. I don’t know why everyone hates on Nadya. She didn’t exactly want 8 kids at once. Now that she has them, she’s dealing with it. The family is intact. If she’s only getting 3 hours of sleep a night then she’s busy with those babies and that’s a good thing.

  19. JoGirl310 says:

    It’s great that the babies are doing so well, but I also call shenanigans. Yes, some women bounce back from pregnancy incredibly quickly, but this just really strains credibility. Maybe I’d believe her if she claimed to look this way naturally nine months after having one baby. Eight? No freaking way.

  20. Lantana says:

    I gained 84 lbs with my 1st pg – from 120 to 204. My OB bitched up a storm. I told him it had to be fluid retention blah blah. After the baby, at my 2 week check up I was down to 155. Obviously that isn’t fat loss. Second pg, almost a mirror of the first. Lived in a different state, so new dr, got bitched at, told him that it would fall off as soon as I had the baby. Exact same thing happened. Around 50 lbs right off the bat and back to 120 within 6 months. Sometimes shit like that just happens.

  21. Anastasia says:

    Tazina, you’re crazy if you think she didn’t want eight kids at once. She’s even gone on record as saying she wants to have as many kids as possible. Implanting that many eggs was irresponsible and medically unethical.

    And yeah, she’s had a tummy tuck. She’s been pregnant SIX times, and two of those times were twins and OCTUPLETS.

    Give me a break. My friend who had twins and didn’t have a tummy tuck and got back in shape still has this flap of skin she can’t seem to do anything about. Her two babies got huge. She works out like crazy and can’t do anything about that flap. Her doctor tells her the only thing that’ll fix it is surgery. Or accept it. She accepts it.

    That’s what most normal people do.

  22. bros says:

    this woman is a pathological liar and people are believing that she lost all that, including the 7 feet of skin it took to stretch over octuplets without surgery? please! this is the same woman who claimed she hasbt had plastic surgery to look exactly like angelina jolie on a bad mushroom trip! she lies for a freaking living!

  23. Shelly Shellz says:

    Right…just like she never got her lips injected, wasn’t obsessed w Angelina Jolie, didn’t strip, was never on welfare…need I go on! If history has taught us anything its that this woman is full of sh*t

  24. bros says:

    oh, and its virtually impossible to lose weight if you dont sleep and midnight workouts are a terrible and useless time to work out. this whole story is a crock.

  25. WTF?!? says:

    I would think her six kids who are actually trick-or-treating-age-appropriate would’ve liked to have gone, too.
    What a useless bit¢h.
    She must be almost bald– look how thin those braids are!

  26. Annie says:

    Yea. I call bullshit too. I mean, even if she DID lose it all the healthy way (DOUBTFUL) there’d be a LOT of skin to snip. A LOT. Especially given how much of it stretched out with that litter.

    Good for her for losing the weight, but don’t lie to us and tell us no work was done. If anyone buys that, I’d like to sell you an invisible pink unicorn.

  27. wow says:

    I have to hand it to her, she looks fabulous to have fourteen kids. It is 14, right?

    She looks awesome! And I will also say that even though I can’t stand Khate Gosselin, she also looks good to have 8 kids. I know that Khate got a tummy tuck, but still she keeps herself up.

    It nice to see that a lot of women still take pride in themselves and their appearance even if they have a slew of kids to run after and take care of. I must give them props for that. Some can have one kid and let themselves go. Octo looks great. More power to her, I guess.

  28. TaylorB says:

    I wouldn’t blame her for one second for having all the excess skin removed, and if asked all she has to say is ‘none of your business’ or ‘no comment’, but her constant flat out lying is pretty tiresome.

    She really just needs to shut up.

  29. original kate says:

    cheyenne: those babies have survived despite their mother, not because of her.

  30. Firestarter says:

    It’s easy to take pride in your looks when you resort to cosmetic surgery to do the hard stuff for you.

  31. Lantana says:

    I agree about the excess skin point. There’s definitely no way all that skin goes away that fast. Maybe she wears a latex body suit under everything.

  32. Cheyenne says:

    bros: its virtually impossible to lose weight if you dont sleep
    ******************************************

    Not true. I’m a poor sleeper during the week (habitual night person and hate having to wake up early) but I went from 139 to 128 last spring just by exercising and cutting out the junk food. (On weekends when I can sleep late I make up for the sleep I lose during the week so maybe that helps.)

  33. Assuming the story is true – that is extremely impressive.

  34. Feebee says:

    Why do women claim the baby/ies as body weight they ‘lost’ after pregnancy? If she was 270 while pregnant she hasn’t lost 145 to be 125. Whatever she was after giving birth that’s the start number. But I, like others, are skeptical about the weight and lack of loose skin around the tummy area. PS. Jaybird, you’re very generous… this one’s never hauled all eight kids around at once, they get in the way at the nail salon.

  35. Spooge says:

    The only way she’d lose 145lbs that quick is if she sold a few of her kids.

  36. snowball says:

    I heard a couple mentions about how she’s always running around caring for her kids? How many nannies does she have? I suspect each kid gets about 20 minutes with mom each day and the rest of the time is with the bevy of nannies.

    Don’t forget, one of her kids is severely autistic. Plus, I seriously doubt she’s doing the cooking for 14 kids and the nannies.

    I don’t hate on her, but I do find it disingenuous that she makes all these wacky claims. But again, she hasn’t been in the news lately – maybe she was jealous of all the attention balloon boy was getting.

  37. girl says:

    I don’t believe for 2 seconds that woman didn’t have a tummy tuck at some point.

  38. Squirtle says:

    HAHAHAA! Spooge that was a good one!

  39. NIKKI says:

    ______________________

    Cheyenne, I thought it true that you never “catch up” on sleep missed. It’s just that, missed. If i recall correctly I read a research article on that, how people always say they’ll catch up or make up for missed sleep episodes. But, me thinks it impossible.

  40. Cheyenne says:

    Kate: saying the babies have survived in spite of her rather than because of her implies that she’s neglecting them, and in all fairness nobody knows that. We don’t know how much actual hands-on care she is giving the babies. But somebody has been taking very, very good care of them, for all of them to have survived this long.

  41. ♥Natalie♥ says:

    My god those lips eww.

  42. SolitaryAngel says:

    Shenanigans!
    P.S: Ewwww those lips!

    If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck–yep–it’s gotta be OctoBat.

  43. Madisyn says:

    Remember when she went in for “cysts on her uterus”? Yeah, she had a tummy tuck!

  44. madHatter says:

    She is simply trying every angle for her to maintain her celebrity aspirations. Her reality show is in the dumpster so now its time to move on to something else her agent is cooking up… maybe a ghost written diet book for pregnant women? Wait for it…

    There’s always an angle

    Oh, Snowball, you are cuter than a box of kittens.

  46. I can’t believe.Without Plastic surgery
    she lost her weight.It’s amazing.

  47. Anastasia says:

    Even if she wore a latex body suit or sixteen pair of spanx, the fat/rolls have to be squeezed out somewhere. It would just come out the top or bottom. There are telltale signs when a woman is wearing some serious underpinning garments and she isn’t.

    Tummy tuck. A BIG one, too.

  48. nj says:

    I would not believe her if she told me water was wet. The thing is, in her case, the removal of excess skin was probably a medical necessity. I would’nt begrudge her that. What is so maddening about her is that she will LIE about it, in order to make herself look better than everyone else. Look at me, I just snap back into a two! No, I don’t f*cking think so.

  49. tasteT says:

    more lies and craziness..she spends her time hating kate and reading all of the gossip mags..

    wanting to be pretty and a celeb..

    her face is horrid no matter how much weight she loses. When she said Jon was attractive, I could feel her desperation, all that is missing is a man..

    waits for train wreck to happen…

  50. Helen says:

    It really doesn’t matter how much weight she looses. It doesn’t cure ugly. She’s darn ugly. Distorted lips, ugly ears, and long face….ewwwww. I can`t grasp the fact that she put 14 kids on this planet!!

  51. kara says:

    Wow, the haters are full of hate today.

    Look, I think she’s a nutcase, but you people who know nothing about weight loss are spouting bs diet myths w/out any intelligence.

    I lost 87 lbs 2 years ago in 8 months. I went from 247lbs to 140lbs. I did it by eating high protein meals, lifting weights (at night), and during that time I was working 2 jobs, so not getting a lot of sleep.

    It is possible. It is even possible to do it healthily. I did it.

    Don’t let your hate make you stupid to the facts of what can be done. If you’ve never done it, then really? Shut up about it.

  52. daisy says:

    ummm……thats 107 pounds. and thats a fact. i just lost 32 pounds, my virginity and a baby giraffe. YAY ME!!!

  53. Lisa says:

    Ok, so she is taking diet pills! Meth or other street drugs to lose the weight.
    There is no way a person can drop 105 lbs in less than 9 months without the aid of drugs. impossible

  54. spiceh says:

    she looks so frigging creepy with that lips and damn braids!!! What grown women have pigtails like that?

  55. Ana says:

    She’s a liar. Plain and simple.

    It’s not like she is the most honest person to begin with. And she has never objected to plastic surgery before so why wouldn’t she get the fat sucked out?

    Do you see how she is bent over and her belly is still flat? Not even Marissa Miller could do that. She probably has had surgery and is wearing a stomach control wrap.

    It doesn’t matter anyway, her belly still looks like it has been attacked by a tiger.

  56. daisy says:

    hey..i just saw a guy 0n the biggest l0ser l0se 101 p0unds in seven weeks. s0 it is p0ssible…0n the ranch…

  57. SARAH says:

    She’s nothing but a fake, everything about her is just wrong and not right, from her face to just her pregnancies. Not to mention, she’s pregnant with triplets? No matter how I look at it, there’s no way she’s 125 lbs, maybe 140 or more. Plus when she bends over, she has no little belly bulge, so she’s either wearing Spanx or she has some sick abs. I’d go for #1!
