I think everyone would agree that Kelly Clarkson deserves a big ‘atta girl’ for losing 30 pounds. She looks healthy and younger and there is no doubt being more fit will make her better performer. But I’m a little bit shocked she agreed to do a magazine cover. She loses a little tough chick cred..but it’s actually a good blow to take to help any young girl who looks up to her. Her weight loss for the right reason and done the right way. That’s what girls need to see…not the normal celebrity weight loss train wrecks.
After enduring constant weight scrutiny ever since she nabbed the inaugural American Idol crown in 2002, the 30 year-old has revealed her healthiest figure yet. Thanks to a five days a week training schedule and a portion-control diet, the 5-foot-4 singer has shed a remarkable 30 pounds in the last six months. “She feels better about herself than she ever has,” a source says of Clarkson, now just 10 pounds away from her ultimate goal weight.
And [Clarkson] has someone to celebrity with when her scale hits that dream number: her Nashville-based beau, Brandon Blackstock, 35. Clarkson credits the talent manager (son of her own longtime manager, Navel, and stepson of Reba McEntire) with inspiring her slimdown. “No one likes to be not toned when you aredating someone,” she says. And when that someone is as encouraging as Blackstock, who manages Blake Shelton, staying motivated is a snap. Says the insider, “Brandon is the first guy ever who tells her how beautiful and sexy she is. She wants to look good for him…”
And Blackstock’s fitness-loving attitude has rubbed off on Clarkson, who once told Us, “I only run when I feel like I need to get destressed.” Says the insider “He motivates her. She says she can’t just lie there watching TV when he’s at the gym.
