Kate Winslet Stays Slim With Pilates
Revolutionary Road star Kate Winslet isn't into the Hollywood trappings of trainers and two-hour gym workouts. Her weight-control method consists of sensible eating and 20 minute workouts with a Pilates DVD.
'I still don't believe this craziness for being skinny, but I eat
sensibly and I don't stuff down chocolate biscuits,' she tells [UK Elle magazine] in its February edition."
That's some Pilates workout. Anyone have access to the UK's Elle? Maybe Kate gave the title of the DVD?
Despite reportedly having "stunning, sexy shots" for the photoshoot, Kate describes her body as average.
I have cellulite, I have a rumply tummy and my boobs have dropped. I did think that post-kids, my sex scenes days were over."
Yet she can still film sex scenes. I love how open, honest and down-to-earth Kate Winslet is! And she looks great.

She is an amazing actress. Has she ever won an oscar? I know she has been nominated a couple of times but I don't know if she ever won. If not, those people should be slapped. How she couldn't win one for Titanic is beyond me. I know she is nominated this year and her movie that is about to come out looks oscar worthy. Hope she or either Meryl Streep(Doubt) win.

She hasn't won one yet. I really hope she's nominated for both of her movies that just released. (The Reader & Revolutionary Road) She deserves one!!!

Amen Ellie. I can't stand that they say things that aren't true, and make women with body issues think something is wrong with them. I read "I eat healthy" I think yes, then you shove your finger down your throat...etc. Like websites talking about how Amy Winehouse wants to give up junk food. Yeah, that is the problem, Amy. Junk. I mean Junk food.
I just don't believe any that talks about it. Every ano or bulemic I know is obsessed with lying about how much they eat, or work out, and when they get called out on it, they get pissed. Seriously, if a nurse has to show up and give you food by iv to keep your fetus alive, you have food/exercise issues. That wasn't Kate, but someone else who claims to be "healthy". Not.
I had no idea she has kids! I googled and I found out she has two :) maybe cause in the past the celebrity kids were not as famous as their parents! (Suri...)
what do you think of all this pictures of celebrity child?
I think that is nice to have some pictures, just not EVERYDAY... and I dont'know if this is so good for children..
she's a cold witch and a try hard sex pot with her body when she is not.
Clearly she is so vain,shallow and overthinks what the media thinks of her body. That tacky Vanity shoot of hers proves that.

I had nothing but love and admiration for the old Kate. This new version is getting on my last nerve.
top looks bulky and her legs look skinny. Gives an illusion of having a boxy build. Do not like this dress on Kate.

I might be able to help on this one. I currently own a pilates video (10 Minute Solution: Rapid Results Pilates ~ Lara Hudson) that I think you can find on Amazon.com and it is WONDERFUL!! It basically spends 10 minutes on each part of the body: legs, arms, tummy, all over and then stretch. It's supposed to add up to 30 min total, but since I have done it so many times in a row and have memorized every move, it only takes me 20 min. I KNOW this one works bcause I had 2 months to lose my baby weight (tummy) to get into a stupid bridesmaid dress. I think I did it 4-5 days a week... I felt so good...and TONED! Best part is that once you get the routine down, you can press mute and rock out to your own music and it goes by pretty fast...which is very important when baby is down for a nap- hee hee! Hope that helps Vera :)
she looks fabulous of course, but I remember her stating that she is never going to try and lose weight, that she is happy to be bigger, and similar things. so if she was so happy when she was bigger why she slimmed down? it is clear she wasn't honest before.the same story with Ricky Lake, she was advertising fattines and being huge and happy in her show a lot, so if big= is happy, why she is not big anymore?lets be true and don't lie to ourselves and others - everybody especially bigger girls would love to be slimmer.
don't get me wrong I think she is a terrific actress and not to mention beautiful but she really need to stop talking about her body so much - I know she's trying to get a message across saying it's ok to be curvy and you don't have to be stick thin to be happy, beautiful or successful but surely there must be something else she can talk about....it's getting a little boring after a while. It seem every single interviews she's always talking about how her imperfect her body is but she's happy the way she is.
She knows that she sounds like a broken record about body image. It is the interviewers who ask her those questions and she choose to answer. She's not going to just keep quiet and say 'no comment'. Because this is STILL an issue in our society. The craziness of having to be thin STILL exists. And it's scary. Young girls are so vulnerable. You know how easy it is for a girl to pick up a magazine and want to be like the person on there? Kate goes on magazines but in the interview she always stresses that she doesn't really look like that. I like that Kate keeps mentioning this because its good to always hear a positive role model. I'd rather hear Kate stress what she feels instead of constantly hear about skinny celebs in tabloids. And I think girls who feel pressured would rather hear Kate too.
Another note is that Kate has a daughter who is obviously getting older and she can easily be influenced by this. Could it be that another reason why Kate stresses positive body image messages is because she has a daughter of her own she wants to protect? Kate is just trying to be a good role model and my God, that woman lives and breaths for her kids. I think her daughter is in good hands about the pressures to be thin.
People change too! You can't take something that Kate has said MANY years ago and hold it to them today. Since then she's had children. Like I said in my last post, that woman lives and breaths for her kids. She would want to be healthy for them first and foremost to set a better example, and for herself. She's slim but after all these years has kept her curves. She always has a shape to her no matter what size. That's what Kate has been saying for all these years - that she won't be a stick. Now, if she were to suddenly turn into a size 0, that's a different story. But she's a size 6 or an 8. I think it was this Elle interview that confirmed her size now. She's said she was a 6 or an 8 a few years ago too, and that she doesn't need to be less than that.
She is so attractive and I have seen her on Meetwealthy. com,I also met many Sexy, Curvy, Classy Women, open minded rich couples, hot rich guys, nice wealthy admirers, even some celebs.
I do pilates too!!!! yay!!!! she doesn't have to worry, she looks great and i love that she just doesn't care!!!! x x Kate is brill x
