Pregnant Carnie Wilson is Stopping her Weight Gain

Singer Carnie Wilson has kept her word. She has not let her pregnancy become an excuse to gain more weight.

While she goes to great lengths to keep her nutrition up, she also knows she has to watch what she eats. “I don’t need to pick at Oreos or pick at muffins,” Wilson, who is due in June, tells PEOPLE. “I’ve put on 42 lbs. at [age] 40. I don’t have to gain any more weight. I put my foot down. The baby is growing, and she’s perfect.” [Source]

It’s wonderful to  hear that she has finally learned to take control of her weight after so many years of struggle. Of course, her hosting duties for The Newlywed Game have probably helped her stay fit. Standing during most of the tapings probably served as great workout.

Carnie Wilson talks about her weight loss and new pregnancy

Carnie Wilson has announced that she and her husband Rob Bonfiglio are pregnant with their second child. The 40-year-old former Wilson Phillips singer talked to OK! Magazine about finding out she was pregnant again, and how she would stick to her diet and exercise routine while pregnant.

Carnie, who was in a constant battle with weight, lost almost 50 pounds this year.

How did you find out you were expecting?
I was making dinner, and I took a home-pregnancy test. There was a second line, and I jumped and said, “Oh, my god, I’m pregnant!” Lola [my 3-year-old daughter] and I started screaming and jumping for joy. She was so excited!

How did you tell your husband?
I couldn’t get a hold of Rob because he was playing a jazz gig. I taped the pregnancy test to the front door and drew a picture of little stick figures of Daddy, Mommy, Lola and then a little tiny one. I jumped out of bed at midnight and went into the kitchen and I see him holding the stick. He took me in his arms and goes, “Here we go again, honey.” He was happy.

What are your hopes for the pregnancy?
I can’t stop thinking about twins! My sister had twins; my grandmother was a twin and my grandmother’s aunt had twins. I had my first ultrasound and we only saw one sac, but it’s not confirmed that it’s not two because one could be hiding in back of the other…. We’ll see!

How will your condition affect your workouts?
I’m still doing my inner-core strength training. I’m going to increase my walking — instead of three days a week, I’m going to go for five. [Source]
