Emma Bunton loses baby weight and still eats chocolate

April 16th, 2008 admin

Emma Bunton is back to a trim size 10 after giving birth to baby son Beau in August last year.

But her new toned figure is not due to a punishing fitness routine or a diet of celery sticks.

‘I did everything in moderation,’ explains Emma, 32. ‘I breast fed for 4 months, which helped.

‘I went to the gym 3 times a week and not 7, because I can’t stand being stuck on a running machine for hours on end. It’s so dull.

‘I ate three meals a day containing meat, vegetables and carbohydrates, just in smaller portions. If I felt hungry I just snacked on fruit.’

Emma didn’t even have to give up her favourite treats.

Emma Bunton on postpartum weightloss after Beau’s birth

March 27th, 2008 admin

Emma Bunton has never been a stick, and she doesn’t plan to be one, thank you very much. The 32-year-old Spice Girl and new mom to son Beau Lee, 6 months, tells Fabulous that she’s “always been curvy and I like being that way. [It’s] how I’ll stay.”

Although she went into her pregnancy very fit, having just finished her run with Strictly Come Dancing, Emma reveals she “pigged out, I promise you” during her nine months. Currently a size 6, Emma explains that she took her postpartum period more slowly than her bandmates Mel Brown and Geri Halliwell, who hired trainers.

Emma Bunton Laughs Off Spice Girls Infighting Reports….

Singer Emma Bunton has fiercely rejected reports the Spice Girls comeback tour was blighted by infighting, insisting the band’s official reason for ending the trek prematurely was genuine.

The Wannabe stars thrilled fans last year (07) by announcing a reunion world tour, but left thousands of concertgoers in Asia, Africa, South America and Australia heartbroken when they decided to quit the roadtrip early, on 26 February (08).

However, Bunton is adamant the group decided to stop performing to be with their families - as they stated at the time - and is mystified by rumours the singers fell out and couldn’t bear to be in each other’s company.

Emma Bunton ‘in no hurry to lose baby weight’

March 27th, 2008 admin

Spice Girl and new mum Emma Bunton has spoken out about her post birth fitness and weight loss plans as a celebrity figure in the public eye.

The 32-year-old singer gave birth to son Beau in August 2007, just four months before she embarked on the Spice Girls World Reunion tour.

Baby Spice claimed she took things more slowly than her fellow band mates when it came to getting back into shape after the birth of her baby.

She said: “I didn’t feel any great pressure. It takes a while to lose the baby weight, but I didn’t feel I had to starve myself. And obviously, going straight on tour hurried things along a bit!

Emma Bunton’s post-baby diet tips: be realistic and dance

March 27th, 2008 admin

Emma Bunton has said she’s pleased she lost her baby weight in a healthy way instead of rushing to get back into shape like some celebrities do.

The Spice Girl gave birth to son Beau in August last year and even though the girl group were set to start their reunion escapades in November, she told the News of the World recently: “I didn’t feel any great pressure [to slim down].”

“I breastfed for four months, which helped [but] I did everything in moderation.”

“I went to the gym three times a week, not seven - being stuck on a running machine for hours on end is so dull.”

“It takes a while to lose the baby weight, but I didn’t feel I had to starve myself. I wanted to do everything naturally without going on a strict diet. I made sure I got the right nutrients, just in smaller portions. If I felt hungry I snacked on fruit.”

March 18th, 2008 admin

As Victoria Beckham and her bandmates have seven children between them, there’s a long list of contenders for the title of baby of the Spice bunch.

In the running of course is Emma Bunton’s seven-month–old son Beau. And at 22 months, Bluebell, Geri Halliwell’s daughter, might just be in with a shot for the title.

Yet no one has staked their claim quite as winningly as Angel Iris Murphy Brown, Mel B’s youngest by former flame Eddie Murphy. As she tucked into a snack offered by her mum in LA on Monday the little girl wore a bib bearing the words ‘Spice Baby’ in multi-coloured letters.

The Return of the Spice Girls Tour

March 18th, 2008 admin

It was intended to be a big thank you and a fitting farewell to their fans, but in June 2007 when the Spice Girls announced their plans for ‘The Return of the Spice Girls’ Tour, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Victoria Beckham could have had little idea what a huge success their tour would turn out to be. Now the five girls can look back on 47 sell-out shows ¯ a success backed up by Sennheiser technology.
As usual, the Spice Girls’ series of concerts broke all records: in London they filled the O2 Arena 17 times, and they gave six concerts in the New York area, including a sold-out show at the legendary Madi­son Square Garden arena. Their farewell tour took the five girls across North America and Europe, in the company of Sennheiser’s wireless technology.
The Spice Girls sang using very special microphones: their SKM 935s were lavishly adorned with rhinestones; even the earpieces on their evolution wireless monitor receivers were decorated. The band used (much plainer) evolution wireless guitar systems and all the microphones were used with EM 550 twin receivers.
“For the Spice Girls tour we needed great sounding vocal mics with rock-solid radio performance,” explains Ray Furze, the tour’s FOH engineer. “The 935 capsule proved to be an excellent choice. We had no radio drop outs on the whole tour and I found they were highly resistant to feedback, even with all five mics 20 metres in front of the PA.”
Monitor technician Matt Napier adds: “After Ray Furze and I reviewed all the radio systems that were available for the Spice Girls tour, it quickly became obvious that Sennheiser was the logical choice. With five girls, lots of quick changes and a huge set, not only would we need equipment that sounded good, but something that was durable and had rock-solid RF.”
