Marlee Matlin Talks About The Battle With Her Weight

FitCeleb did a previous post on how Marlee Matlin was dancing away the pounds due to ‘Dancing with the Stars’. Marlee was a huge inspiration during the show, and now that she’s off of it she’s speaking to Ok! magazine about how she gained and lost the weight. Here’s what she had to say:
When did you gain the weight?
When I had my kids [Sarah, 12, Brandon, 7, Tyler, 5, and Isabelle, 4. During one pregnancy I gained close to 60 pounds. It was a combination of bad eating and a lack of exercise.
How did you lose the weight?
I started a program to get toned for the holidays. When I combined exercise with the Zone diet, the weight began coming off. Now I weigh 112 pounds, and at 5 feet 3, that’s about right.
Why is dancing such great exercise?
Dancing is like Pilates, jogging, weight training, aerobics and yoga all rolled into one. I love it!
As i said previously, we all need start our very own ‘Dancing with the Stars’!

i’m 5′2″ and 125 lbs…. she just made me feel fat
112? yea, right!
April 30th, 2008 @ 5:01 pm5′3 112 is not just right!!! it’s borderline underweight. these celebrities have a completely skewed belief of what’s right.
April 30th, 2008 @ 5:19 pmShe actually looks smaller than 112 lbs to me, but maybe it’s the camera angle in that photo…
I agree that celebs have skewed ideas of what’s a normal weight; having said that, however, I don’t think 112 lbs on someone who’s 5′3″ is necessarily underweight. It really depends on body type and frame size.
I also hope Katherine (#1) is joking when she says she now feels fat!!!! Because 5′3″ and 125 lbs is NOT NOT NOT fat.
April 30th, 2008 @ 7:36 pmI agree with Granger! Katherine are you crazy thinking your fat. You are totally NOT FAT!
