Former Will & Grace star Debra Messing is speaking about tabloid reports on her struggle to lose her baby weight.

“It was written about in the tabloids a lot,” Debra tells the January issue of Shape Magazine. “On one page it showed all the actresses who got skinny in six weeks or less, and on the other page was me!”

I couldn’t work out three hours a day and do my job as a mother and an actress. So I took the pressure off: I cut back on seeing the trainer but started eating healthier,” says Debra, who currently stars on The Starter Wife.
