iVillagers interview Louise Redknapp

Mum of two and Wii Fit convert Louise Redknapp answers questions from the iVillage community

From Sneaky
Any chance of Eternal re-forming? I love Eternal!
I doubt it very much. I think we are all very settled doing our own thing now.

From Mom_barty
How much do you naturally weigh and would you consider yourself thin?
I've never been considered thin. I am a normal shape and size but with a few additional baby pounds to lose at the moment.

From Mom_barty
What's your favourite Wii Fit exercise? It's Jack Knife all the way for me!
I agree with you. The Jack Knife is really effective.

Did you find it hard to lose the baby weight after you gave birth?
It's harder the second time around and I'm still working on it.

From cl-jasmine-1981
Do you have any tips to lose the baby tummy? I definitely need help with that one!
Take time to concentrate on abdominal exercises but don't rush yourself. It takes a while and you should do it steadily and be realistic.

From Gossip-girl
Do you think suffering from endometriosis has affected your outlook on life and having children?
I think it has made me completely appreciate my children.

From Gossip-girl
Do you feel there is enough information out there for newly diagnosed women with this condition?
Unfortunately not. The condition is relatively unknown and like anything knowledge is so important.

From Gossip-girl
Do you think more could be done to raise the profile of such a horrific condition?
It's very hard as it's a very personal condition which can make it difficult for women to speak openly about it, but I think awareness is getting better.

From 1wtblb
When you did that dreadful regime to get down to size 0, did it leave you with any problems afterwards? And how quickly did you get back to your normal weight?
My hair and nails were really weak for quite a while afterwards. It also affected my mind and how I saw food for a short while. I actually put on the weight quite quickly though. We finished filming and then it was Christmas so that more or less put everything back to normal.

Do you think if you were not in the public eye that the pressure to lose weight after having a baby would be such an issue? Personally I think you look great.
I think all women feel some pressure to conform no matter what they do.
