Angelina Jolie's Post-Baby Weight Loss

Apparently Angelina Jolie, 31, only gained twenty five pounds during her first pregnancy. She doesn't have much weight to lose to get back in shape.

What is her height and how much did she weigh prior to pregnancy? According to info I found online she is 5'7" tall or (170 cm). And her weight has been publicized as being about 129 pounds pre-pregnancy. The picture of her shown here was taken quite a few years ago to promote the movie 'Tomb Raider'.

According to The Sun, Angelina Jolie is not dieting to get back in shape. At least not this early after the baby's birth. Rather she is stepping up her yoga practice and is said to be drinking African ginger root and garlic tea as a natural weight loss aide. She's also breastfeeding and this usually helps the baby weight come off faster.

If she only gained twenty five pounds, once the baby was born she would have immediately lost at least ten pounds (a seven pound baby, a placenta, and related birth weight loss usually adds up to at least twelve pounds). So she really only needs to lose ten to fifteen pounds to get back to pre-pregnancy shape.

Angelina Jolie has always had a very slim build and it's likely she will be one of the lucky body types who has no problem regaining her pre-pregnancy shape. At least not till the second pregnancy.

Update: August 2006. Here's a photo of Jolie on Maddox's 5th birthday. She looks like she's lost all the post baby weight already.

Angelina Jolie's C-Section Baby

(Update: Angelina Jolie's baby was born May 27th, details below.)

Angelina Jolie is scheduled to have a C-section tomorrow to deliver her first baby - as reported by In Touch Weekly magazine today.

This topic is completely unrelated to weight loss, but as this baby is said to be the most anticipated birth since Jesus Christ, I thought I would break the rule here. The media are in a complete frenzy over this. Expect it to dominate your television and newspaper news for the next few days.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been voted as the most beautiful couple in the world by People Magazine. Angelina Jolie won the prize for the most beautiful woman in the world in 2006.

Beauty does pay apparently. The rights to the first photo of the baby have already been sold for $5 million. Proceeds will go to a UNICEF child charity.

In Touch says the pregnancy due date was not till the first week of June. But Angelina Jolie decided to go ahead with a c-section tomorrow because of a 'minor complication.'.

I'll post an update here tomorrow as more news comes in about the birth.

Update: May 27th. Angelina and Brad's baby girl was born at night in Namibia today on May 27th. They named her Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. But no other details are available. No pictures are available. Here is the brief press release from their publicist.

"The night of May 27, 2006 in Namibia, Africa, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt welcomed their daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. No further information is being given," publicist Cindy Guagenti said in a statement.

Update June 12th: Here's a photo of Shiloh and her dad from this week's issue of People Magazine.
