Liv Tyler: My battle to lose baby weight

Actress was mortified by press reports she was pregnant again

Liv Tyler was spurred into losing her baby weight after people thought she was pregnant for a second time.

The beautiful actress, 29, says she didn’t feel the pressure to slim down straight after giving birth to Milo in December 2004 - but was horrified by unflattering pictures of herself taken some months later.

'I was not one of those women who just dropped pounds instantly when I was breast-feeding,' she tells You magazine. 'Actually, I was so homely I was ravenous for things like doughnuts and cakes.

'And I can remember walking down the street to go to the nail salon was Milo was eight months old, and a photographer took my picture.

'I was wearing a very unflattering shirt that I had worn while I was pregnant and a pair of sweat pants, and when the picture appeared in a magazine, they ran a caption asking if I was pregnant again.

'When I saw it I said, "I think the holiday’s over."'
