Kathy Ireland's Shocking Weight Gain (and Loss)

"I was not making enough time to take care of me," says Ireland, 46, a mother of three kids ranging in age from 6 to 14 and CEO of Kathy Ireland World Wide, a $1.4 billion design empire. She also runs a mentoring program for single teen mothers.

To get back on track, Ireland enlisted the help of a friend, who happens to be a personal trainer and nutritionist. Thanks to healthier food choices, including cutting down on snacking and desserts, plus three exercise sessions a week, Ireland says she's almost back to where she feels her best.

Why is it in order for a celebrity to "turn things around" they have to have a personal trainer and nutritionist? Those people aren't free. I would like a celebrity to "turn things around" for herself with a cookbook and gym shoes like the real woman living everyday lives.
