During a recent Ellen interview, Jennifer talks about going from a size 16 to six. To lose the weight, she enlisted the help of Weight Watchers and trainer Harley Pasternak.

I love Harley!! I’ve lost a lot of weight in the past with his 5 Factor Fitness videos. I actually just started doing them again recently in hopes of losing more. If you’ve never tried his workouts you can find out more about them/buy them on Exercise Tv.com.

How fabulous is Miss Jackson on the cover of Health Magazine?

I love it.

You can tell she’s been working out a lot recently, because she looks amazing.

You go girl!

Our thoughts:

First I have to say I’m obsessed with lucy workout pants. I now own several pair of them and they’re amazing! The most comfortable workout pants I own….period!

I really need to buy another pair of the x-training pants though, because I live in my current pair. They’re great for everything. I wear mine for walking, yoga, lifting weights,zumba and even running errands.

Not only that, but they’re very flattering. I’m not in the best shape of my life at the moment *sadly* and lucy pants do a great job of hiding that. Seriously, these pants will look flattering on you no matter your size.

I own lucy pants in the styles: Hatha Power, Power Pant and X training. And while I love them all equally I would have to say if you’re looking for a pant that will be extremely versatile I would recommend you pick up a pair of the X-training pants.

To recap lucy x-pants are breathable, comfortable and extremely flattering! Treat yourself to a pair today!!

lucy X-training pants are available here for $88.00

Do you know someone who claims genetics is to blame for their obesity? That’s just not true according to a new study from UK’s Telegraph.

They report that “people could work off around 40 per cent of the extra weight that ‘fat genes’ laid on them by exercising.”

It goes on to say add that although some people do have a predisposition to be overweight or even obese, scientists at the Medical Research Council’s Epidemiology Unit in Cambridge discovered that having an active lifestyle could go a long way to countering a person’s genetic inheritance.
