Most women have problems with their ‘muffin top’, that unsightly tyre of flab that rests smugly atop our jeans - a constant reminder of the family-sized bag of Maltesers we ate just after lunch.

Unfortunately, flab manages to squeeze its way out in other places. Hands up if you’ve got a fat back? Yes, it sounds strange, but if you’re storing excess fat on your back, it will spill over the edges of a tight top - a second muffin top, if you will.

She’ll be Mrs Wayne Rooney in less than two months’ time, so DietPixie’s favourite celebrity shape Coleen McLoughlin is working on trimming her tum for the big day.

The 22 year-old Scouser is reportedly marrying Rooney in an unsurprisingly flash do in the south of France. She’s also rumoured to be having a ’second’ wedding in England, as well as two hen dos to boot.

With her enviable figure we’re sure she’ll make a cracking bride, but Weight Watchers fan Coleen is taking no chances and has been following a special fitness plan with her personal trainer.

Imagine eating as much as you want and losing weight. Imagine getting in shape without pounding the treadmill.

It may seem like a pipe dream now - something that usually only happens to annoying slim friends - but it could soon become a reality.

In fact, such a miracle fat-fighter could already exist - as a handy pill designed to lower blood pressure.
So how does it work? Well, the pill is designed to speed up your metabolism and burn fat - without the need to pick up a dumbbell or give up on your favourite fatty foods.

Geri Halliwell is really annoying. OK, we all know that.

But apparently, the Spice Girl has found a new way to annoy people - apart from simply being Geri Hailliwell that is - and it’s driving her new boyfriend nuts.

It’s her alleged obsession with fitness and exercise. Apparently, Ginger Spice goes through a punishing two-hour daily workout every day to stay in shape.

Celebrity blog Celebitchy has details of The Enquirer’s report on Britney Spears’ new fitness regime.

Tons of pics have appeared online and in newspapers showing Britney skipping out of gyms, looking toned and healthy, as well as running on a treadmill (wearing shades indoors, no less).

It might be another false start, but it really does seem like she has got herself back on track and ditched the fatty fast food and fitness fads for good.

Research from across the pond in Chicago has found that overweight women who have high levels of fitness cannot completely eradicate risks to their hearts.

Regular exercise is necessary to lose weight and to improve the health of your heart, but experts say that being fit and fat at the same time just doesn’t work.

“It doesn’t take away the risk entirely. Weight still matters,” said Dr. Martha Gulati, a heart specialist at
Northwestern Memorial Hospital in the US.

Beautiful Bond Girl Halle Berry has been stepping out in the US this week, complete with a post-baby body that most of us would give our right arms for.

Berry’s tot, the imaginatively-titled Nahla Ariela Aubry, was born just over a month ago, and Halle is already looking in tip-top condition. Apparently Nahla means ‘honey bee’ in Arabic - and we bet Ms Berry’s husband is buzzing over his wife’s toned, curvy figure.

It’s little more than a month since Jennifer Lopez hoofed out twins, Max and Emme, and she’s already exercising like there’s no tomorrow. This is despite doctors advising all new mums to wait at least six weeks after giving birth before resuming exercise.

Apparently J-Lo is dragging herself out of bed at 4am each day, and knocking out three hours of exercise while most of us are still in the land of nod. She reportedly put on 4st during her pregnancy, which isn’t really surprising considering she was eating for three.

It’s all well and good to get the inside info on Charlotte Church’s home gym or what type of fruit we should eat to get a flatter stomach, but isn’t it more useful and refreshing to hear how real women diet?

Many of us juggle high-pressure jobs and a busy home life, with barely a second to even think about going to the gym.

Have you ever wondered how Mel B got those rock hard abs, or how Victoria Beckham stays so slim without setting foot in a gym?

Not content with sparring over each other’s husbands, or competing to win the ‘fastest post-baby weightloss’ race, Spice Girls Victoria Beckham and Mel B have both been extolling the virtues of shagging.

Ever fancied killing two birds with one stone when it comes to getting fit?
