Octavia Spencer is known for her Academy Award winning role in the The Help and after taking home such an esteemed award, she thought it was time to get healthy. After changing her lifestyle with a workout program as well as using Sensa (following in the footsteps of Patty Stanger!), the actress is down 30 pounds and looks amazing. She recently sat down with Shape Magazine to talk about her weight loss, check out a few highlights below!
Octavia Spencer Weight Loss: Down 30 lbs and Looking Great!
On her weight loss goals: I don’t have a number on the scale. My thing is my middle. I want my waistline to be proportionate. Right now I still have a little Santa Claus belly. People think that I have this wonderful hourglass figure, but I owe that to designer Tadashi Shoji because he cuts for me really well.
On her exercise plan: At first I worked out with a personal trainer. But I can’t take my trainer with me around the world. So I thought, “OK, for the next six-month phase of this, I’m going to do a lot of walking and videos at home.” Then I took up Pilates because I like the look of Pilates and yoga bodies. Neither one is easy, which is why the girls look so great. If I get bored of Pilates, I’ll take dance classes. And if I get bored again, I’ll discover something new. But right now, I do Pilates and walking.
On eating with Sensa: It’s been pretty effortless with Sensa because I am not thinking about how long do I need to do this. Usually when you stop a diet program, you lose control again. But I don’t need to stop what I’m doing. I’m eating everything that I like. Sensa just helps me keep it all in check.
