Losing weight may not be easy, but being in love makes it a whole lot easier!
Bride-to-be Kelly Clarkson, who dramatically transformed her body by losing a massive amount of weight in 2012, reveals the secret to her fabulous physique in the February 2013 issue of Cosmopolitan – falling in love with her fiance Brandon Blackstock, and Breaking Celebrity News has the details.
"I lost 18 pounds," the Stronger singer reveals. "And I think that happens when you fall in love or date someone. If I'm going to be messing around, I gotta look good."
"There's not a fad diet. I was working with a trainer, and she said, 'You'd be amazed the amount of weight you can drop by halving your portions. I know it sounds crazy, but do it for two weeks and watch what happens.' I just cut back my portions, I stopped eating late at night, and I work out a little more than I used to, and I literally dropped 18 pounds in a month. I think it happens when you get really busy. But when I'm on my off-time – girl, those 18 might come back."
